Perhaps you should post a disclaimer: "Results not typical. Your results may vary..."

I have met women in ths past thru Yahoo, Match.com etc....and just four years ago gave up on finding one online and turned the job over to the Good Lord and low and behold if He didn't bring someone wonderful into my life!
We got married this past July 2!

FWIW: CL's sections really are for hooking up, not for LTRs. Better off probably visiting the Platonic section if you are not crazy about catching herpes or AIDs. I have been watching CL for a while and was able to predict the hooker ring they busted in Atlanta. The GIGS adult section is probably hooker paradise.

ok so what they did is ask people who were posting if they could come interview them for this movie. All parts of the movie used craigslist finding all the "talent" the workers and stuff....they just went around and talked to people that posted in different sections.....

YouTube - 24 hours on craigslist: Seeking 270-pound Woman

as a good example this guy was looking for a LTR.....(i think)

its called 24 hours on craigslist. they even talk about Craig and the people who work there and how it came to be and stuff its funny.....

POF is probably one of the biggest dating sites out there. But you won't hear about it because it's 100% free.

Make sure to enter "ford trucks" as one of your interests.

To each his own but I think unless you have an eye hanging out over your cheek and a meat cleaver stuck in your fore head I don’t see where an on line date with something that turned in to something else and needs money, NOW to :


1-I would love to come to America but I have Grandpa, Grandmother who is very old and sick, an out of work Pa and mama is having another baby and they all live in a fallen down one room shack on the edge of the Evil Forest along with my other sibling that will perish if I cannot afford for them a new mule to plow the fields as this is my job now until you rescue me and bring me to America, please send money.

2-I have a gambling dept here in Nevada that really isn’t my fault I was told they were lucky numbers, I want to see you so bad and maybe even have a relationship with you but I need money now, please send money orders to this address which isn’t mine but I know them and will pay off my debtors so they don’t break my legs and I will look beautiful for you on our date and maybe more when I show up on the bus after you send money for tickets.

3-I love you truly and cant wait to get my arms around your handsome body but I cannot afford a plane trip, can you send money?, would be a very wise move. It just makes your heart feel all warm inside while some lazy jerk figured out how to get into your wallet and no not even a kiss.

I have been to the school of hard knocks more than once but in this case these were fairly close to actual responses a divorced friend of mine who thought he would die for sure if he did not meet another women received from dating services on the internet.

Does any body remember the phone sex queen a few years back that from what I understood was very feminine, knew what to say and had guy’s waiting on hold to wreck their credit card just so they could speak with her. Turns out she was a he, boy if that wouldn’t wreck your ego I don’t know what would.
I' am glad it worked for those of you that tried this and lived to tell about along with your bank accounts.

Beware, a lot of posts on CL are bots that collect email addresses for spam databases. In fact, it wouldn't surprise me if at least half of the posts on CL aren't real people, but "spam bots."
