'My parents always thought I was ill when I was a kid on the toilet, but I was just distracted by transmogrifiers and Dobie-o-matics.'

Craigslist Penis Effect

Personal success philosophy based on the observations that

a) any g-rated women-seeking-men Craigslist ad will be met with dozens and dozens of e-mails that are just penis pics, and

b) a "real" email will automatically be better received than the penises.

The wisdom of observation is that a little effort will automatically put you ahead of all the idiots. From personal finance blogger Ramit Sethi.
According to the Craigslist Penis Effect, wearing khakis, not sweatpants, to the fleamarket will make you super stylish by comparison.
