Personal
I read the Craigslist personals everyday. I have done so for about two years now. I never respond to the posts. Mostly because I figure that women posting get about a thousand times the amount of responses as do the men and the chances are ill fated. Or I have been in a relationship. I really just enjoy them for the insights they provide into social psyche. But If I did respond to a post it might sound something like this~Allow myself to introduce ... myself~
My name is Matthew, which I suppose you could have deduced from my e-mail address. I am 27, I am an artist who is currently employed as a Graphic Designer for a beer company. I have dark hair and dark eyes. I stand 5' 9" and I am a muscular 175 pounds. I believe, and others have confirmed that I am good looking. Plus I'm funny and clever and some people say talented (although I sometimes disagree about definitions of talent). I play soccer, I swim, I kayak, and I do some cycling. I go to the gym about 3 times a week just to stay toned and flexible. I have a job and a car and I live alone.
Aside from all these facts and figures I am a dealer in excitement. You did say you need some excitement in your life for a change? Right? What kind of excitement are you looking for? Do you like to drink? Do you like to smoke? Do you like music? Do you like to dance? I consider myself an aficionado of these things and more. I am well read and well traveled. I have been back in Austin for about a year now and I am looking for a partner in crime to spice up my usual well trod but inevitably exciting paths.
I noticed you didn't ask for a picture. I would be happy to provide one. Like I said, I have never responded to a personals ad so I don't have one on hand. However, if that's important, and you by some damn miracle reply to this e-mail, I would be happy to provide you with a pic before any commitment to meeting took place.
I would ask one thing. Respond even if I'm not the one you wanna meet. I think taking a chance on me would be your best bet, however I would really like a form rejection letter if you choose otherwise. What I am really curious about is the number of responses you get. Maybe just an e-mail with a number in the subject line that corresponds with the number of responses you got.
Putting myself right out there

How did that sound? Convincing? It's all true.
