I met a cool chick who needed help with the rent or something. It was obvious she was an amateur too.

I wouldn't use Craigslist Personals. I'd be afraid of being someone my date wanted to make a people suit out of.

Yet, you'd pick the same person from match! As long as you get him from a paid and supposedly more "reputable" place, he can make whatever he wants out of you! Just about the whole available pool of people is on EVERY dating site, craigslist included. Wouldn't you meet somebody from match? Well, guess what?! He's on CL, too!

For a quick and easy lay, it's a great choice. For an LTR, no. I mean come on, it's a personals site where more than 50% of the photos are from the waist down. Do you really expect to find your soul mate there?

Another excellent point. I mean yes, you technically could still end up with a psycho (you could end up with a psycho even if you feel you know a person well, to put a bottom line on it) but chances are GREATLY increased on a site that:

* doesn't charge you anything, so you're not making that effort (yes, of course that's a part of it...though only one part of the whole)
* isn't really traceable at all to you, personally
* doesn't include any sort of screening process whatsoever
* doesn't require that you post as only one person, on one name, per user IP, so you could be a girl's daddy complex, a guy's wet dream or a 14-year-old soccer player all in the same day...and for whatever purposes
* accepts pretty much any wording, photo, any lifestyle and any...anything
* has a reputation for attracting people suit-seeking individuals

Etc., etc.

(That last was a hair facetious, but just a hair.)

It's the penny saver of personal ads. I don't know why anyone would go there. I do however like buying furniture and cars off craigslist.

craigslist. i don't know why. i haven't been successful getting people off of craigslist for sex, relationship wise or whatever. i have tons of spam in my email but amongst other things, i have managed to get some things that i'm not going to say off of craigslist. don't know how i did it but i have managed to do so without getting caught.

anybody here look at the missed connections of craigslist? what do you guys think of it? i'm going to admit ever since i heard about it, i've been lurking there for a minute hoping to find someone talk about me.
