Two sites I troll frequently are Facebook and Craigslist. Two very different sites. Two somewhat different target audiences. Two treasure troves of women.

Now it wouldn’t be a fair apples to apples comparrison if we just pitted the women found on Facebook with those found on Craigslist.  Afterall, Facebook is more commonly used to keep in touch with friends and Craigslist is more commonly used to be touched by strangers. However, comparing the women of Facebook ads to the women of Craigslist personals seems fair, since the personals are ads in their own right.

I conveniently have been accumulating screen caps of Facebook ads for singles sites over the last week or two just in case something like this blog post happened to come up, and have formulated them into a collage for your review:

Foxes of Facebook

Overall a 7.  I know, I’m being generous.  Yes that is an internationally known Victoria’s Secret Angel on the top left by the name of Adriana Lima, and apparently her and Marko Jaric split because she has a profile on singlesnet.com (I didn’t click the ad so I can’t verify this, but it’s an advertisement on the internet so it must be true). The gist of Facebook ad girls is that they all have a bunch of eye make-up (that they know how to apply rather well), with the exception of the one in the top right corner who clearly knows how to have fun (and would also be at home in a rabbit warren).

And now I present you with the cream of the Craigslist crop:

Cream of the Craigslist Crop

Overall a 9. I know, you think I’m being too generous. No she is not an internationally acclaimed super model, but they grow old, gain weight, get their own t.v. shows, and go crazy.  No she is not so good at putting on her eye make-up, or hasn’t ever heard of it, but eye make-up washes off.  If my decision isn’t obvious to you, you didn’t look hard enough.  Notice the date stamp on her pictures.  She is from the future.  How can you go wrong with someone who already knows how the next 5 years or so pan out?  Plus, if she is like most people, she is using a picture of her younger, brighter, and more youth filled days, so she probably knows what happens in year 6 and 7.

Knowing the future can bring you happiness that underwear models could never even hope to. So look for love on Craigslist, not on the advertisements that show-up while you are clicking around Facebook. Or, stick to the real world, if you dare.
