Recently, a blogger named Simon Owens ran a social experiment on
Craigslist. He wandered into the "Casual Encounters" section of the
personal ads where countless men and women were soliticing for
no-strings-attached sex and wondered, Is it really that easy? As a
test, he composed several ads with different permutations of assumed
identity and sexual orientation: straight/bi men/women looking for the
opposite/same sex. He then posted it to New York, Chicago, and Houston,
and tallied the results.



You know whats weird, all but two of the people who responded are
whites dudes between the ages of 20-34'ish

odd
