LE has stings on that site all the time.

Ok, true enough that CL eliminated its "adult" section, but business continues apace in the "personals" area. But my god... the people that reply by email (as opposed to calling the agency) are a fright.

Aside from the fact that anyone that illiterate shouldn't possess a keyboard, my favorites are the ones that send you their description, hoping to entice you into a freebie. Seriously? I don't care how fit you are or what you do for a living. Just pay my fee and we're on.

Ladies, what are your fave rants about CL?

And gents, do you use Craigslist at all, and have you ever found a winner there?

ad descriptions that did not match included pics, randomized capitalization, supposed mother-daughter pairs where the ages are only a few years apart, boasts of "see my TER reviews" with link to a page that were all low scores, typos that ended up completely changing the meaning of what was intended, etc.

I'd sometimes even post my favorites on the local board.

I can't be bothered wading through the personals section for this. I can find new goofball ads more easily elsewhere.

I don't use it at all. Definitely would not have used it for the hobby.
I have read some of those illiterate reviews though apparently written by the illiterate that got through to someone from CL and actually had an appointment.

It's a joke, the only thing I see on there are folks wanting you to sign up to some lame dating sight.
The funniest thing on there(if real) are the ladies in the CE sections looking for a relationship. Then they have the nereve to post demands for a good man with a good job, owns a home, want's kids, want's to raise the kids she already has, be in good shape, participate in all kinds of dumb activities. When the only guys on there are cheap slobs who can't even aford to pay to get laid.

MANGINO!











ps I tip big to cuddle

I used to use CL, about 3 years ago, with good success. Then I stumbled across TER and started to read reviews and found out how crazy I would be to continue using CL...Now I use BP because we ALL know how much safer BP is vs CL.
LOL
thanks TER!!!

...to gentlemen in the "casual encounters" section.  Trust me, most can be talked into pay for play; especially if they are visiting.

1. Check on TER to see if their are reviews.

2. Search the pictures and phone numbers on http://images.google.com
and http://www.tineye.com
You will find a lot of stolen pictures. Even if one picture is stolen avoid the provider. Don't be surprised if the picture is from a model, lol.

I am one of them. I saw a provider last week who requested my date-check.com id to verify me.

the people who think that Craigslist is good for anything other than selling your used junk.

To be sure, there were some good providers on CL...  often TER reviewed.  But there were so many unknown unreviewed...    It is just a better use of my time, to start with recent TER reviews, screen for local area codes & nearby locations, then use VIP to select those I am interested in.

Apparently you do not read arrest logs  Le uses BP for stings all the time.  3 in last 4 weeks in New England alone.  Use whatever venue you like, but they all have risk.  Some more than others

Not super-worried about LE (fingers crossed!). I'm in Toronto, and they generally turn a blind eye so long as you aren't trafficking new immigrants (usually Chinese) or underage. I'm downright annoying about checking the ID of my girls, and I run a clean operation.

I guess I'd be more concerned if I was in a podunk Bible Belt town, but we're all degenerates in Toronto, and I like it that way!

Unfortunately sometimes "sarcasm" is difficult to read?

I started by answering m4w CE posts (I started after the CL adult section was removed). I tried posting myself and after a time or two, your post would get flagged as soon as it went up. You are bombarded with 300 garbage emails all asking to prove you are real. It's a real waste of time. So, I would answer the m4w posts that had offers and that's how I got started.

But even now, on a slow night, I cruise the m4w posts and see if there are any offers that are worth my while (guys will posts pictures of money or even have a dollar amount in their post for a "visit" but they are usually the bargain hunters not willing to pay more than 100).

I recently answered an ad for 500 for a mutual massage. It was midday, a lot of fun and definitely worth my while.

Toronto CL is way different Than Baltimore CL. I saw BBBJ in the subject line.


MANGINO!




aw man I spilled puding on my cape.

I still get the most response and the most business off of Backpage.

But, as a quality provider, I'm the one weeding through the garbage. I may get 5 to 10 responses from one ad and I just don't see any of them many times ("What's up?" is a deal breaker every time).

I just had a response last night from a guy who is on Preferred 411 and another local adult site we are both members of. I often get Date-check members, TER reviewers or white-listed members.

I don't know why they use Backpage when there are so many ads on these other sites where they are members, but they do. I even get verifiable travelers prebooking me weeks in advance by finding me with a Backpage ad, so it's not just because they are looking for someone "ready now" all the time.

I see other quality providers posting on there, too, many times amidst all the "$80 specials" and fake pics, so I know I'm not the only one who knows there are verifiable guys who still fish on there.

Convenience? Habit? I don't really care where they come from as long as I'm having a good time.

There was a beautiful time on Craigslist where the people using it seemed to be of a more of an educated, tech-savvy bunch; and the BS, while present, was minimal enough that one could avoid it and still productively use the site.  I met many dear and beautiful friends during this period, some of whom I still give little envelopes to today.  Ahh, brings back memories.  Then it caught on, and the masses ruined it.  I'd love for the CL of 2000-2004ish to return.

Yes, yes, yes... I don't know why guys complain about backpage so much when it's so easy to tell the fake ones from the quality/reviewed ones.

Often, you can just search the escort section with "TER." "review," "reviews," or "reviewed" to find them really fast (TER gets dropped off of my ads when when I put that on there; I've seen it elsewhere, but you better believe I have the other three search terms in my ads because I learned guys search that way)

Unless she is switching Trac phone numbers all the time, her reviews should pop right up without a lot of time searching just by googling the phone number in the ad.

I even use this trick when I am given a phone number and a name as a reference. If I can't find her reviews anywhere, she isn't a legitimate reference and googling the phone number is the fastest way to check.

well canada is alot different since its almost legal up there as long you negotiate privately which makes it so much easier and taunt the le

Your so right about that! I was at a bar and used my phone to place an ad for a topless handjob in my car from a woman and some women sent their pics to me via pic mail to my phone ( I posted my real number) and the girl I picked drove to the bar called me to come outside and I got my topless handjob at around 9pm while parked a 1/2 block away from the bar with people walking by. I use to love CL..I recently posted a real ad wanting to record a lucky guy fucking my VIP friend but I got a lot of spam and later got flagged! CL is mostly dead now but does have its rare hits and misses.

LMAO!

The HEAT is on all over...if you advertise online. Be prepared to recieve Bait calls from Officer Yack Yack..They will never get close to me because I worked under the radar and established myself by my Name,Rep and my Sisters in arms. In the USA if you jay walk...Hello a ticket..If a guy commits Murder he sits in prison for years. Dont get it..Murder is for the Electric chair..right? The USA is a screwed up Scripted reality show..BTW( There are some Profiles on CityVibe,Bp and Eros...These girls never mention Screening in their ad? Not good..Screening..has its perks. Just know that the Sister ref is reliable and Not one out to harm you.) An Adult issue should be a ticket like that of San Francisco,,etc cities..Not months behind the Grey Bar motel...

I never heard of CL until 2007.. until when I sold some designers goods on there. As far as Adult...I was way ahead of the game..I think out side of the box..Thank god for my friendships in Canada,,Europe and the Tourist trade.I never burned any contacts when I worked at Agencies in 1998,2001..Gotta think like these gang kids,,get it?....and the LE will never know you existed!!!..lol

Old school had to weed and build our Black Books(from scratch) like our teacher Madam Alex who hired my pal Heidi Fleiss back in the day. Nowdays everyone is lefted to expose themselves to a Potential backlash if people want to dig. Look at the chick from CL who became a school teacher after mingling on CList from 200?-2008 for extra bilzs. She was outed by a parent who workes for the school board. Apparently the female school board "marm" was suspicious about this college students former work while living in NYC.? CL may come back to haunt some who used their Real pics? Ladies beware......USA aint all that Land of the free and the Brave..

Your Not very wise young Sis..You just let a kitty out of the bag. Old school would never use a One trick pony such as that...I advise you to Stop...Build a Black Book...Learn from the Big Sisters who paved the way..because pretty soon..LE make trip U up!!! Stay Smart/Safe
