Next, we should see a map with the worst traffic. Who funds these studies? Are they really necessary? Especially with the bias towards craigslist users?

#22Why is this sad? Because Walmart is the most cited location? Seems great to me. People are reaching out. Would be more depressing if they just decided to not do anything about it. Plus this only has relevance to craigslist users. Seems like a fun conversation piece but certainly isn't the anything-est anything in America.
One could say the places listed are sad. "What ever happened to ?". You could take it as evidence that we are becoming less social, and withdrawing into our own shells.
It’s also a sign of male loneliness or romance: men seeking to find a possible love-mate outnumber women 86 – 14.
How is this not sad?

#23What I don't get is the states where it's at a bar. I can understand how it's weird to talk to people in some of those other places but a bar is an explicitly social environment. If people didn't want to talk to others, they'd be drinking at home for far less money. As cliche as it is, "hey, can I buy you a drink" still works as an ice breaker.

#27How is "the car" Georgia's most common missed connection? Hitchhikers? I can't think of anything else.
Re: The Saddest Map In America
#28It just seems like such an overwhelming statistical improbability that such a missed connection would ever be fulfilled through craigslist, I don't see why anyone would even bother posting.

#29I never understood the concept of missed connections on craigslist. Honestly, what's the chance of two people meeting each other, forgetting to swap numbers, and then both going onto craigslist to search/post in the missed connections category?
