¶ are we really that desperate? Posted 2 weeks, 4 days ago on January 4, 2004
So I got bored last week and was browsing the personals on craigslist and was curious about what kind of guys responded to the personals. So I put up an advertisement as a woman seeking a man, and directed the responses to some random hotmail account. To my chagrin, more than a fourth of the responses I got were from MIT graduate students.

According to the 2000 census, the Middlesex and Suffolk counties (my geographic area) have approximately 550,000 people between the ages of 20-35. There are 5,000 graduate students at MIT, most of whom are male. That's less than 1% of our representative age group.

So do MIT men prefer the online dating scene over the physical scene? Or are we just really desperate as a whole?
