Craigslist Personals Review (Craigslist.org)

Authored by: M (Anonymous User) on Monday, December 29 2014 @ 05:48 pm

As a guy who has had some success on CL, let me offer my thoughts. First off I've NEVER had success answering existing ads from women. Most are fake, like almost all of them. Occasionally there is a real ad, but unless they have a butt ugly pic up, or something really bizarre, they get inundated with messages from dudes. Even girls that have no pic up (most real ones don't, hell most fakes don't either), and a couple sentences probably get 40 messages in the first hour. And these are from REAL guys.

Moving on, posting on CL - mostly for sex, has netted me some really attractive one night stands. I look for something somewhat specific, but common and something many women are into, even if only temporarily. Early 2013 is when it started working, and throughout that year CL brought me four or five girls from me just keeping my handful of posts up. Keep in mind I said I had *some* success lol. It's not the only place, online or offline where I meet women. Anyways only one of them was probably a 5, cool lady, 42 yrs old, though and we had fun, but the rest were 8s or 9s and early 20s. Then early 2014 I was dating a beautiful 18 year old girl (I'm almost 40) for a few months. I guess the age gap/her immaturity made it not last but it was fun. I met a couple other young ladies around 20 over the summer, again for fun times.

So that was looking for sex obviously, not dating. Several years back, probably around the time the original article was written, I posted more traditional ads looking to date. Got some quality responses from women actually, and one came over and we got to know each other a bit and then hooked up. She wanted to keep seeing me, and even though she was very attractive and slender, (and age appropriate lol), she had three kids so I wasn't looking to pursue it further.

But unfortunately, lately, my usual tricks aren't pulling any women. Very few responses, and also very little spam, which is odd, responding to my ads. I tried a few different email addresses. It feels like it's just not working for me any longer and it's time to try something else. Most of the best looking girls in the last few years were from CL, so it's disappointing. Maybe because there was a format change a few months ago, or CL is doing something to slow me down, anti spam, not letting messages through IDK, I could be paranoid, and maybe I was lucky to get the fast action that I did from such nice looking ladies. I don't think the ads are being ghosted, I find them in search results.

Maybe it will improve again soon. I find that late winter/early spring is one of the best times to find (horny) women online.
