Successful Net-casting in the Craigslist Platonic Section

Well, I"ll be damned. Every once in awhile, when I'm taking a break from the clubs, I sometimes place ads on Craigslist in the casual encounters section to relieve myself from boredom and to see if I might (by some stroke of incredible luck) find a woman who wants to hook up. I've never been successful (and usually receive only fake responses/spam).

About a week or so ago, however, I placed an ad in the Platonic section asking if anyone loved books and wanted to start a miniature book club (which I *did* actually want to try to start). Several women responded. One was ok with meeting at a local coffee shop and talking about intellectual stuff for a few hours, and it was a pretty fun time. A few days later, she invited me over to her house to presumably talk about books and, long story short, we ended up having sex (I still can't believe it). She's a blonde soccer-mom type who's probably no higher than a 6, but she was attractive to me.

My realization: the CL Platonic section, when played right, can be a perfectly workable place to hook up with women. Obviously it would be much harder work than just hitting the clubs, but it might be worth casting your net, even if you're just experimenting. If you've got some intellectual interests and can write reasonably well, you never know what you might find.
