Question of the week: how was your Valentine’s Day? If you answered, “lonely,” “predictable,” “took place in the library,” or “I ate muffins and listened to Beyonce alone in my room,” don’t despair! There’s probably someone out there who has spotted you from afar and has fallen in love with you—or, at the very least, thinks it would be fun to sleep with you. After all, we go to Vassar, where romance blossoms year round.
Enter MilosList.org. Invented by former College president Milo Jewett, who found it difficult to keep a girlfriend or buy used bikes and ski equipment at reasonable prices, MilosList.org started from humble, but noble beginnings. What remains the most popular part of the website today is “Missed Connections,” a totally not creepy way to tell someone you admire them anonymously.
m4w-100 Nites - you were hammered and grindin’ up on one of those speakers from media resources. Wish you had been grindin’ up on me.
m4m-Hawt meetup at Baldwin - You were pretending to read “The Economist” in the lobby in a cute American Apparel tee and ironically large glasses. I was wearing plaid and flipping through one of those swine flu informational brochures. As long as you weren’t there for STD testing, let’s get it on.
w4w-To the girl who works at the circulation desk - When you took back my overdue copy of The Selected Political Writings of John Locke, you kept my heart.
m4w-brunette hipster in gray lace - Met you by the keg in the downstairs bathroom at the new THs last weekend. Your total disregard for the personal space of others and lack of self-awareness were enchanting.
w4m-Literary buff - You were reading A la Recherche du Temps Perdu on the elliptical a the gym and wearing an old All College Day t-shirt. I’m just wondering why. Why were you reading that? It doesn’t really make me want to bang you.
m4w-the recession never looked so fine - To the disillusioned girl at the English majors committee meeting on Thursday: you’re the hottest thing I’ve ever seen. Email me back and I’ll re-illusion you.
w4m-Thompson Memorial Libez - The only other person in the 1951 Reading Room on Friday night. I wish I’d been going home with you, bookish hottie in the oversized wool sweater. You looked like you needed some.
m4w-VSA cutie - You were on a power trip at the VSA council meeting on Sunday. You makin’ the Vassar Islamic Society explain their programming goals was makin’ me hot. Grill baby, grill! There’s nothing I love more than an egotistical student government representative.
m4w-Beige suit/scarf - I see you in your conservative tissue scarves from Anne Taylor (Loft?) like everywhere and everyone seems to know who you are. I really think you could be the one to help me cut course offerings from my major.
w4w-Could we be a sustainable couple? - You came to the door of my TA to try to convince me to use halogen bulbs. Why don’t you come back and use me, baby?
w4m-Tasty Tuesdays heartbreaker - I saw you in line for a samosa in the College Center. You’re one hot, spicy potato—even if your breath smelled like hot, spicy potato.
w4m-Up in the club - Saw you at the Mug. I’m like, 70 percent sure you’re male and would probably be willing to hook up with you.
m4w-girl in glasses from polisci - You were so right about the implications of Brown v. Board for the myth of the independent judiciary. Will you tutor me for the LSATs? Wait, what is this message board for?
Happy week after Valentine’s Day to all!
