If you've ever hook up with people via craigslist, how often would you consider the encounter to be a success? (This only counts real life encounters, not emails or etc. And a success is whatever you want it to be; whether that's just meeting up with someone for coffee, having good sex, having bad sex, a long term relationship, or whatever. It just means that your expectations were met) A) Always a success B) Usually a success C) Usually NOT a success D) Never a success.
I gave up on craigslist ages ago. All the personals there are spam bots. These spam bots respond to your replies with "Thank you for your response! You should join me and start a profile at www. somelameassdatingsite .com" Other times these spam bots reply to your post by saying something totally unrelated to your original post and if you do respond to them, they'll reply back with the same spam message. It's a joke. Craigslist has made itself very prone to bots. Do you got a Craigslist hookup success story?
no no no.... i have quite a few very successful craiglist stories that have made me very shall we say HAPPY!
I've responded to a couple ads and posted ads before, I've only actually met a few people off of there tho, most of the rest didn't interest me though. I met one girl, we actually became best friends instead of fuck friends because she just wasn't my type and she was more of bi-curious rather than bisexual, and just didn't seem all that down. She fucked me over now on some money after 8 months of knowing and hanging out with her daily though, so that turned out really bad. I met this one guy on there, we talked and hung out for about 6 months. He wanted a relationship, I did too, but it turned out he wanted one with me really bad, I didn't want one with him. I tried to make myself be into him because he was a sweet and good guy, but I just wasn't sexually attracted to him. We messed around once, but it did nothing for me and just couldn't continue. Then when I met and got with my bf he got mad and I had to stop talking to him because he was starting to "fall in love" and become stalkerish. I did originally find my boyfriend on Wiccanspace though, which is kinda like Facebook for Wiccans, so the internet in general helped me out.
You have GOT to be the only one. The sites they want you to go to are a RIP-OFF to begin with. Take a look at the number of dating sites that are for sale on ebay. Yes, I have tried a couple. And, in order for them to drop me and not charge the monthly fee anymore, I had to have my card replaced. My old card and number was no longer any good, they couldn't collect anymore, and finally they dropped me. Another thing I've found is that if I search, I can find ads with exactly the same wording posted in Seattle, Los Angeles, Dallas, Denver, Chicago, Detroit, NYC, and Miami. The exact same wording suggests that it's the same person in all those areas. So, in which area to you actually meet her? Answer... YOU DON'T. They're even lower than prostitutes. At least, with a prostitute, you CAN shake her hand. It's not even worth the time to go to craigslist, much less take the time to answer an ad. And, if you do post an ad, or answer an ad, someone is collecting your email address and selling it to others. Suddenly, your mailbox is filled with penis enlargement, viagra, and invitations to join other sites you never heard of. If you try to email the person that sent you the invitation without going to the site they told you about, you get a "NOTICE OF DELIVERY FAILURE". And, if you do find an ad that might be genuine, IT'S BEEN FLAGGED. That whole thing about registering and getting verified... There are places I can go and get real information about anyone and find out if they've ever been arrested for anything. Example: There are more than 200 sex-offenders within a 5 mile radius of where I live. I can get the name, address, and picture of each and every one of them. I don't even have to use my real name for the sites they want you to go to. Now, verify me. There are uses for craigslist if you're selling something or looking to buy something. But, the personals aren't worth the time it takes to put craigslist in your browser.
Everything you say is true. However people in my area are getting around those ads now by posting something about the area that can't be duplicated by those folks. For instance, in the ad they will say, 'Pitt beat WVU in football lastnight,' When you respond, put Go Pitt! in the subject line.' Seems to work good and you can easily weed out the spam crap.
I've met up with people through CL posts a few times. I didn't end up dating or sleeping with anyone, but the meetings were pleasant enough. I think it's best to approach these things without expectations. Therefore I can't say that my expectations were met or not met. Maybe there were a few that I could have pursued further, but whatever. I didn't encounter any spam bots but maybe they're more prevalent in the type of ad that I didn't bother with due to obvious phoniness.
every now and then... if you can spot certain phrases and term you can avoid bots/spam/and the prostitutes..... i have hooked up about 4 time through cl and it always been an undersexed recently moved out church girl who clams to be 20 but is really 26. cl is for those sad fucks like me who work 40 hours and then are too tired to go and party ....peace brothers
Supposed to be hooking up with a girl i met on CL tomorrow. Have been talking to her for weeks and trying to get our schedules together.
Met up with her today. Total sucess!! Met her at a motel and gave eachother great oral sex!! We will be meeting more often. Turns out we even know a lot of the same people but she wants only sex like me.
if I put a sexual ad on CL it will be deleted in a few hours by their admin, Flagged.. The reason for this.. I have the best looking body in the tristate area.. Im either a professional spambot or professional escort.. Im sorry CL uglies. I dont know how to make myself look like a scumbag.. In them few hours I get over 1000 emails, so I really dont care if they delete the shit..
well my girl likes to handle well endowed men...she has quite an oral "gift"....she pretty much has no gag reflex.... anyway, we let her "play", oral only, and we have run 4 ads on cl. Of the four, one we didnt find anyone interesting. One , we found a guy, but when it came time to hook up he was 45 miles away. so we passed. But two of them turned out really good. but no "bad" experiences, you just have to weed em out. lol.
CL has been responsible for a few hookups for me in the past...In general, responding to posted ads doesn't bring much success, but by posting a well-written ad with some good quality pics, I've gotten some action. Problem is, there's always assholes out there that flag ads that seem too good to be true. Like one other poster said, if your pics look too good (not bragging, but I'm well endowed and have a very athletic build) then the miserable fuckers will use flagging software to shut your shit down within minutes of it being posted. Seriously. Had it happen dozens of times, to the point where it just wasn't worth it anymore. I hate to let the fuckers win, but who has time to keep reposting?
