Bummer, thought it would be a in depth, realistic story of how the vast majority of listings in these sections are really just spammers or dudes looking to get images. oh well.

This is amazing. I always wonder who the people are behind those ads and now I see what some of these people look like.

to you whom are indeed beautiful. While I love the fact that you can forget you are beautiful, I will never, ever forget how beautiful you are.

very cool. you know, it's funny, but I'm often surprised at who I meet when buying/selling/apartment hunting on craigslist. for some reason i'm always afraid that they'll be real weirdoes or crazy, but they almost never are. these photos reinforce that even the freakiest sounding people can pass as surprisingly normal in person. love it! thanks for the reminder that we're all human.

I discovered CL quite by accident about 4 years ago. I have since used it extensively, and currently drive 2 vehicles found there, live in a house found there, and have bought and sold more items than I can keep track of through CL. It is now a daily habit, as the personals provide much amusing entertainment.

Awesome story. Everyone featured here is refreshingly honest. Especially love "seeking 2 men", "wannabe sub", "young bi" and "to you whom." However, the photo of "tattooed hottie" is a classic - I love the expression on both girls' faces.

Amazing concept brought to life in a refreshingly honest way. It's good to see that ACTUAL PEOPLE actually use the site.
Dear Bi Couple: I want you. Bad.

I have to wonder if the photog snapped 400 people and picked the most normal of the bunch in the end, lol. Most of the people I've met through CL are pretty normal though, so it's conceivable that this really is a cross-section, albeit a very young cross-section.

The pictures are all brilliant, but this last one "to you whom smiled at me", it all just fits. Beautiful girl, beautiful prose.
