Is CL a no no for newbies?

not that there aren't some good gals on there, there are.  The problem is that there are a lot of flakes as well as a lot of LE, and you don't want to get hooked up with them.

If you want to troll CL, and you find someone interesting, at least look them up on here and see if they have some good reviews.

Then at least you can have some feeling of security.

If they don't have some reviews, move on to the next.

First, might I suggest you get your VIP.

Second, Do your research.  Find a lady you think you will like, check to see if she has TER reviews and then post on the local board asking for endorsements or warnings about her.

Third, Listen to what the reviews and local "experts" have to say.  If she is bad most of the time, chances are she will be bad with you...you are not that lucky!...lol

Fourth, join a verification site like Date-Check.com or preferred411.com if you think verification is going to be a problem, and also to find more ladies who are at least verified as providers.

Fifth, make contact and have fun.

Be Safe and Good Luck!

Other Pointers...
Until You develop a Spidey Sense...See only reviewed ladies...DO NOT TOFTT until you are ready!

Stay Away from CL until you can weed out the trash and ripoffs and even then, use CL as a Last Resort...like a fat chick at closing time.

And Remember: Think with the Big Head and The Little Head will get Fucked.  Think with the Little Head, and You Will Get Fucked!

A NO-NO for Newbies; but a great hunting ground for the savvy.

There is a wealth of undiscovered talent as well as practiced perennials advertising cheaper rates under a different name on CL. The trick is being seasoned enough so that YOU are not tricked by the cheesy agency scams, LE stings, and unscrupulous independents.

CL is like the bargain bin at a video store.  There's probably a good movie somewhere in the bin, but you've got to dig through a ton of crap to get there.  That's probably a good deal to some people, but I'd rather pay a little more for a higher likelihood of success.

I have VIP, and only joined recently.  but cl should scary to me. prob wont touch that until later. thanks for the advice guys

I find that most of them are just bullshit trying to get you to sign up for shit like True.com and others like them.

Do a google search "craigslist sting" and see what pops up. Why take the risk?
If you must use CL best take the time to do some basic screening.

CL is a no-no for sure.

Use CL as a last resort.

In Reno, about 2/3 of the ads are pure trash.   If I'm in the mood for a new adventure, I'll troll CL for a few days, and email someone. If they don't respond, I try another.  My luck so far is about 1/2 good sessions, an occasional really good time, and the rest not so good.  I've yet to be ripped off or stung, but I do alot of research.  I've likely missed some good opportunities, better safe than sorry.     If I want an honest, predictable session, I'll see one of the TER gals. I've never been disappointed with anyone here.

YES, YES AND YES YES!!!

Law enforcement in several midwestern cities have used CL to conduct stings.  I don't care what the girl looks like and what she says in phone or email.  If you want to be safe stick to this board.

What does "LE" mean??? I keep seeing it and I did a search but I didn't find what it meant. Someone said to me "CL is hot for LE" - What does that mean??

CL is Craig's List - the free, and easy to use, internet classified ad service.

LE is Law Enforcement.

Essentially this sentence is saying that when the local fuzz wants "to do something about the prostitution problem," they frequently post fake ads on CL, and arrange for clients to meet an lady cop.  Why?  Because it costs nothing, and attracts the most horny and least careful.

Hope this helps,
