Disconnected in Brooklyn on Craigslist: You Were Going on Kent Avenue

It’s Sunday, which means it’s time for our weekly Brooklyn Missed Connection. We don’t the guy that posted today’s selection is actually seeking the female in question, but one never knows what can come of such situations:

Peeing on the street S 1st and Kent – m4w – 30

As I turned into S1 and Kent on Thursday night, I saw you with a friend urinating on the street it was a very awkward situation and didn’t know how to react I am sure you and your friend were extremely uncomfortable, I am sorry about the way I reacted for I’m sure you had no choice and I was totally lost.

Okay.

Disconnected in Brooklyn on Craigslist: I Was the S&M Keynote Speaker

Oh, Sunday Brookyn Craigslist Missed Connections, we do love you sometimes. We will say nothing about this weeks selection, except to present it:

Attendees from impromptu seminar on S&M held by 7 min mile runner – w4m – 28

Searching for attendees of an impromptu seminar that took place last Saturday March 1 in bed-stuy. Saw some of you at the meet and greet/surprise party that took place beforehand. I was the keynote speaker on S&M. Unfortunately I left before some of the attendees were able to sign my guestbook and provide me with their contact information. I apologize if anyone was trying to catch up with me, considering I run a 7 minute mile on tempo runs. Only one of you will remember this … I wasn’t accidentally touching your leg! Prove to me you were there, by telling me what decoration/image adorned the cake.

Superb.

Disconnected in Brooklyn on Craigslist Bonus: Staring on the L Train

We know that we’ve had a lot of Sunday Missed Connections material from the L Train recently, but we couldn’t pass up this string of posts about “why guys just stare on the L train.” It started with this:

why do guys just stare on the L train? – w4m

i don’t get it. why do dudes just stare? do you expect us chics to look at you back and smile? it’s creepy. if you want to say something, say something. it doesn’t have to be like “hey, i want you.” be creative. you live off the L.

Here are some of the responses:

They’re looking for girls who are literate enough to know the difference between chick and chic. You’re out of luck.

This:

Ooooohh you told her! It was obviously a typo. But I think more than that she struck a chord with a guy who has an axe to grind about his lack of success with his lecherous ogling on the L train. I mean come on you sound spurned by a woman you don’t know, the irony may be that you are the person being referenced, take her advice maybe it will work out for you, someday. Not like she said she hates men. And who likes to be awkwardly objectified in public anyway?

This:

It’s called window shopping. If you don’t like it put a bag over your head.

And, finally, this:

You ACTUALLY said: “I’m very good looking and she obviously just wanted to look at me… maybe see if I would make a move… to make her feel young and wanted…”

Oh my, you are probably the most egotistical guy I have heard on the missed connections (i apologize to the rest of you true romantics out there that aren’t looking for fame here but some sort of love), man you are laughable. especially the “make her feel young” part, your approach is the type i would expect from any douchebag in a bar and when denied advances chalks it up to it being her issue and age because dammit I’m hot who wouldn’t want a piece of this man sandwich. Well it seems not her, bad example. “are you single” bad opener.

Also for the record in case you are unaware of the inequalities between men and women, women get “stared at” in a very different way than you described, touched, brushed, grabbed at, etc etc everyday so why make the moot point and bring up the differences between your personal experience as one man and “stared at” due to your undeniable “hotness” VS the daily experience of a woman and being stared at. really? i dare you to post your picture so we can weigh in and objectify you here.

And that’s it for this week from the L Train.

Disconnected in Brooklyn on Craigslist: Drunks, Dialectics & Lust on the L

For our Sunday Brooklyn Missed Connection this week, we again turn our attention to the L Train, starting with the dude who was passed out and could have ended up in (gasp) Canarsie:

To the Girl Who Woke Me Up on the L Train – m4w
It was close to 5 in the morning when you nudged me awake. The first thought to come to me as my eyes broke open to a flood of light with your face peering down on me was “an angel.” My next thought was “this isn’t my stop.” I think we were at the Montrose or Morgan Avenue stop. You asked me if I was alright or something of that variation. I guess I was slouched forward with my head down, a typical drunk pose. I don’t know what transpired or inspired you to wake me, but I just wanted to thank you. I would have been upset if I found myself in Canarsie again. Thank you!

We move on to the Marxism-related MC:

“Absolute collapse is still the goal of a totalizing ideology” – m4w – 24
Typical story: Wanted to say something but didn’t. “Nice eyes” would have been creepo and “So you’re reading about marxist theory” might have been worse. I wore black. I’ve never posted anything before but you had the biggest, gorgeousest eyes i might have ever seen. May the stars align, I guess. Hope to see you on the L again.

And end with a red coat and black “pentyhose”:

Red dressed girl with black pentyhose on L train – m4w – 23
Red coat girl with black pantyhose and black hair – I got infatuated with you. That happened on the L train on Tuesday Feb 26th. We both took the train at night from 1st ave but you got out at Lorimer stop. It looked like short trip although I couldn’t take my eyes off you. I was that blond guy dressed in black. So what do you think? So how about it?

Always fun on the L.

Disconnected in Brooklyn on Craigslist: Miles, Twilight Zone & Timothy Leary on the L

We don’t know what was up on the L Train on Thursday, but clearly something was in the air. In looking for our weekly Sunday Brooklyn Craigslist Missed Connection, we found these two posts that were made with the same 24-hour time span:

Twilight zone serenade on the L train Thurs Eve – w4m – 30
I first noticed you when we were both waiting for the train at Union Sq. I was the blonde with far too many bags and I think you had something yellow on. We made eye contact accidentally but when I saw your eyes, I thought you were stunning. Stupidly I panicked and adopted the hipster code of feigned indifference.

When the Brooklyn bound train arrived, we entered doors at opposite ends of the train but somehow met in the middle. I managed to get a seat by the pole and you stood in front of me. We both had books. Mine was the Subtle Knife part of a young adult Sci-fi series and yours was some serious looking fiction. I was too embarrassed to really look because you were inches away from me. Suddenly the train was full of sounds from the street musician. The mood changed…Miles Davis, twilight zone, then space talk. It was all very entertaining but not enough to distract me from your presence. I got off at Lorimer. You took my seat. Too bad I’m a shy girl. I didn’t say a word. Hope to see you again.

And, then, there’s this one:

L train 12:30 reading Your Brain is God–timothy leary! – w4m – 30
well, sure, you were cute–and the soul patch works, though i’m not sure flavor saver is appropriate so soon, though that would be just like me.

what i really want to share with you is that you seem like the perfect person to recommend one of the greatest kids’ books to. have you ever read how to be a perfect person in three days? google has the book online, incidentally. my copy had a purple cover with a boy proudly touting a head of broccoli…and the cover of your book reminded me so much of it without being an ounce like it: it must deliver more perfection than perfection itself.

so, after all this babbling, if you’re interested in getting to know the blonde (hah!) who wanted desperately to strike up that conversation but didn’t have the confidence in her voice…get into my head. my brain is, after all, god–like you said.

Disconnected in Brooklyn on Craigslist: You Almost Killed Me, But You’re Hot

When a man notices a woman, it doesn’t matter that she almost ran him down when fleeing a bar. Attraction is attraction. The evidence is right here in our Brooklyn Missed Connection of the week, which comes to us from Bay Ridge:

You almost ran me over!!! – m4w – 38

I noticed you last night, I was sitting a couple of tables down from you with my friends…you were the prettiest girl at the bar, too bad your friends got you angry and you stormed out. I came out to talk and perhaps buy you a drink, but you ran to your SUV and drove off, almost running me over. Your night was ruined, I felt so mad, what an injustice to a beautiful brunette!!! I’m 5’8″ Dark Hair/ Dark Eyes half Italian / Half Brazilian, perhaps you noticed me too.. I know I can make you forget about whatever got you angry. Please tell me which Bar it was, so I’ll know its you. Ciao Bella, and I hope you have a happier Valentine’s Day!!!

The near miss vehicular homicide clearly wasn’t directed at the poster, so maybe he does have a chance with her, as long as uses mass transit on the first date.

Bklink: Missed Connection PSA

“I am looking for a woman who marched in the Mermaid Parade in 2007. White, early-mid thirties, light brown hair, VERY PREGNANT. She’d painted her belly to look like the planet Earth. My friend took a gorgeous picture of her and I am DYING to use it for a photo/visual art project I’m producing, but need her permission. My friend said the baby’s due date was July 10th. If you think you might know where I can find her, please email me. Leads leading to my finding and securing permission of photo use will receive full astrology chart AND a tarot reading–plus beer.”–Craigslist

Disconnected in Brooklyn on Craigslist: Vortex of Lust in Aisle 3

Our Sunday Brooklyn Missed Connection this week isn’t so much about a Missed Connection as it is about wanting to make a connection at the Steve’s C-Town on Ninth Street in Park Slope. Here it is:

all the sexual tension at C town – m4w – 36
is it me, or does everyone who shops at c town want to get laid? i was shopping there earlier today and it resembled a fellini movie. anyone feel similarly? I’d gladly take the brunette with the stroller in aisle 3. Cheers.

This was one of the followups:

I have noticed that as well. I am going for groceries and suddenly want to make out with the guy with the fig newmans and beer in his red basket. It is a vortex, no kidding! Maybe I’ll see you there…I am the curvy brunette with green eyes and half and half in my little red basket!

Not as good as the Park Slope Food Coop, but tantalizing, nonetheless.

Disconnected in Brooklyn on Craigslist: You Stole My Coat / You Turned in My Clutch

Talk about Yin and Yang. We found two Brooklyn Missed Connection ads that were posted yesterday that are very different sides of the same coin. One is to someone that stole someone’s coat at Union Pool in Williamsburg. The other is to someone that turned in someone’s clutch at Union Pool in Williamsburg. First, the theft:

To the guy whole stole my coat last night at Union Pool… – w4m
I even saw you do it… you walked out wearing my dark green coat, and I think I even stopped you for a minute. But, I am naive and thought “no guy would steal my coat“. Anyway, I’m sure stealing my coat was hilarious to you, and I enjoyed walking home in the cold, but I’d really really like it back. It was a gift from my parents and it keeps me warm outside. If I could get it back I’d be very appreciative and would not be mad at all. Thanks.

To recap: the dude stole a woman’s coat and she’s not pissed. Now, on to a very different posting:

the “handsome man” who turned in my clutch at Union Pool last night – 25
That’s what the bartender said, anyway. I asked her to point you out so I could thank you in person but she couldn’t find you. So, thank you so much. I was out celebrating turning in a very big project and got so drunk I must have left in the bathroom. I was halfway home before I realized I didn’t have it and ran back, not expecting it to still be there (especially considering there was a brand new PDA in there). Anyway, thanks for reminding me that the world is not full of assholes. May your good karma follow you. Thanks again, Emily

Stealing & turning something in. Bad karma & good karma. Two ads, two hours apart.

Disconnected in Brooklyn on Craigslist: Lost & Found

This week’s Sunday Brooklyn Missed Connection is more of a lost & found item than a missed connection in the strictest sense, but there’s something about it that appealed to us, typos and all:

throwing stuff off of bridges

i was wondering aroudn NYC. i am a traveling kid that was exporing williamsburg area. and i wondered in between two wharehouses to the water side and found some crazy stuff.
this bundle of jewlery being the only realy interesting thing that is worth questioningl. did you throw me away? it got me currious. why did you throw it away?
i don’t know…i don’t think that you are looking for these. but if you are i found them. if these are yours tell me about them. what made you do it. and do you want them back? most of them are with me in ohio, some of them are in brooklyn with friends. but let me know…

After all the comments people leave here and there about how people “should go back to Ohio,” we finally have someone that actually went back to Ohio.
