Also, if you enjoy the cringe-worthy nature of NYT wedding videos, enjoy this parody that nails how creepy so many of the husbands-to-be are in most to all of the real videos.
Dear New York Times Vows Videos,
Thanks for the weekly reminders of how many bizarre people there are out there in the world, and for making me realize how lucky I am that I don’t have a man named Igor doing weird dances around me while I sit on the couch.
Sincerely,
A single lady
Ohhh Missed Connections. How you fascinate and frighten us, particularly when you describe sociopathic behaviors and super-hero foreplay.
Below are a few of our favorites… Email me for a drink! Right.

Blonde with blue scrubs again – m4w (Midtown West)
You never emailed me. I thought maybe it wasn’t meant to be. Then I saw you again yesterday. Followed you for a few blocks. Reached out and touched your hair lightly at an intersection. Very soft. I don’t think you saw me this time – you were wearing a green hat today (no more trapper hat?) with some fancy headphones on top. I whispered in your ear but you couldn’t hear me.
E-mail me, we’ll get drinks.

Giving Blood – m4w
You: Sitting in the donor waiting area at the Red Cross looking relaxed and cute as all get-out.
Me: In the recovery area, dizzy and eating oatmeal-raisin cookies.
It seemed we had some nice eye-contact, but on top of being dizzy I’m a bit shy, so I left without saying a word. Argh! You might be my type!

Male Villain Seeking Female Arch-Enemy – m4w
Howdy, I’m looking for a deadly vixen to do battle with on a weekly basis. We could meet in parks, rooftops, on the top of a moving train, on top of a moving truck, on top of anything really. My last arch-enemy found a new villain to fight when she decided beating me was too easy =(. I’m looking for someone strong, but not too strong. If you’re about Buffy strong, you’re too strong, but if you’re about Sailor Mercury strong, that’s too weak. Costumes are a plus and bring a group if you want, but no more than 3 because there’s a difference between losing a battle and just straight up getting jumped. Should we ever have a common greater foe, I’m all for teaming up, but just that one time. Please respond soon, I’m so out of practice. I don’t even have any putties to fight.
Happy Thursday, loves. We’re still reeling from the whole Representative Lee (R-NY) Craigslist scandal. In case you missed that story, click here.
In a somewhat related- though more, um, respectable- realm, online dating has become a popular social mechanism for urban singles looking for love- or at least a date. We all know of the popular sites, even if only second hand. But, what we may not have discovered, is that the universe of online dating is expanding by the second, creating avenues for almost everyone looking for love- no matter how freaky the freak.

**Pay particular attention to, “Tall Friends”, “Natural Rejection”, “Find an Inmate”, and “The Right Stuff”.
We jest not…

Today, Rep. Christopher Lee (R-NY) was caught red-handed sending pics of his bod to babes in the “Women Seeking Men” area of Craigslist…
Confusing, check. Pathetic, check. Surprising? Not so much.
UPDATE: This man has RESIGNED! He also used his personal gmail address to send this photo out with his real name in the e-mail. Really?!
