Above is a graph that illustrates data accumulated in a scholarly study by Dorothy Gambrell on Craigslist missed connections — who’s posting them, where the encounters took place, etc. Among the more interesting findings were…
- Most missed connections in the South take place at Walmart. No surprise there, sadly.
- Indiana must be the saddest place ever, as most the missed connections there took place “at home.”
- New York and DC, two cities where public transportation is widely used, had most of their missed connections take place on trains.
- Hawaii was the state with the highest percentage of m4m ads being placed.
- California is a parody of itself, with most missed connections there taking place in a gym.
Not sure how Walmart beat out “Klan rally” in Mississippi, but America’s superstore is a romance juggernaut, apparently.

State fair for my state, Oklahoma? I was really expecting it to be meth cook’s trailer.
after seeing the people of walmart…nausea.
That’s the Wisconsin I know and love. Thanks for being awesome with us North Dakota and Vermont.
North Dakota’s got your back
Growing up in Maine, I’m surprised it’s not “Marden’s”…. or “that drunken bonfire in the woods that one time…”
What does this say about guys psyche? Over 85% of all user who felt like there was something that wasn’t there were guys.

Walmarts in Mississippi actually have a Klan-goods section.
