A while back we showed Very Small Array’s map of Craigslist’s top Missed Connection locations by state and marveled that Georgia’s is L.A. Fitness. But later, VSA shed some light on that ranking when she broke down the missed connections by gender seeking gender, and that explained a lot. The top spot for M4W and W4M was, of course, Wal-Mart. It’s the South, duh. The most frequent missed connection location for W4W was the Botanical Gardens. And M4M? L.A. Fitness! There must have been a lot of L.A. Fitness missed connections to drown out the star-crossed Wal-Mart lovers!
And I’m pretty sure 95% of those L.A. Fitness M4M missed connections are coming from the Ansley Mall location. I was unaware of this phenomenon till one Saturday I was dining at that sandwich shop at Ansley and saw some serious, serious mesh-swathed cruising going on between the gym and the Starbucks. I can’t believe Vice overlooked that spot in its “How to Get Laid By a Man (If You Are Also A Man)” but I guess they were primarily focusing on the Cheshire Bridge area.
Anyway, this is how overt L.A. Fitness is about its status as a hook-up destination! I actually saw this with my own camera phone.
Make sure if you do go to L.A. Fitness this summer you’re fully decked out in attire from The Boy Next Door! The theme in their window display right now is “SWIM MEAT.”
