Here’s a map of the most popular place in each state for Craigslist’s Missed Connections. In most states, Wal-Mart and Starbucks seem to be the hot locations for anonymous unrequited lust, but in Georgia it’s… L.A. Fitness? Are there that many L.A. Fitnesses in Georgia or do the L.A. Fitnesses just attract a lot of horny but passive singles? I think yes to the latter question, because I just looked up L.A. Fitnesses in Georgia – there are 22 and all in metro Atlanta, including Lenox, Atlantic Station, and fake singles hotspot neighborhood North Druid Hills.
You can buy this map on Very Small Array or check out their other aesthetically pleasing maps that break down missed connections by gender, type of location, hair color, and age.
Also, I just found out that if you walk around a store with an empty shopping basket it means you are looking to hook up. FYI.

I totally have a crush on a guy at my LA Fitness. I’m not even kidding.
Yes, LA Fitness is a predator-haven. I have been verbally assaulted many times. I would speak out to management, except that it is so damn flattering.
