Craigslist Advertiser Reviews

[QUOTE=Camera3;2051907]You can't be a one trick pony in this hobby. I troll BP, USASG, Ashley Madison, TER, CL and in some cities there are local boards. I am open to others. Truth is, this USASG site and specifically this city is the most helpful resource. I wish other cities had the community we have here.

Yes, you need a blind e-mail address. I use Juno and have for over 15 years. It is free and they don't ask a lot of stupid questions like Google or Yahoo. There is nothing on that site that links to my real life. Yes, I gets lots of span but really don't care. When I post an ad on CL I may get twenty-to-fifty phishing e-mails to one winner, but the winner is always a winner. And every ad does't produce results. So, yeah, it requires patience but the payoff is spectacular. And weeding out the phishing e-mails isn't rocket surgery. It is so obvious it is almost comical. Same with Ashley Madison. Lots of time wasters on there but when I score it is always a fun ride. TER may be the least helpful, but it is helpful because the reviews are pretty much always accurate. And just for fun there is a site called TOSluts that is a riot. I don't think I have ever read a review that did not go on about how amazing any given SP is. No bad reviews ever. What are the odds of that? So, that is for pure entertainment and I take the reviews with a grain of salt.

And if you don't have a blind phone to go along with that blind e-mail address, do that, too.

As for "economically friendly," probably Ashley Madison has produced more for less for me as a way to meet ladies, but it requires lots of patience.

Just my 2 cents.

C3.[/QUOTE]I pretty much follow the same model but haven't been too successful on CL down in my neck of the woods. However, I use all the other forums to cross reference and cross reference again. One can never be too certain or get in a hurry. As for AM I should have given it more of a chance but didn't. Years ago I used Adult FriendFinder and with the patience so described here and I was very fortunate to have met several very interesting ladies that treated me well for many years. I guess the $s are hard to come by now so I don't use these for those pay to play adult sites anymore. Hmmmm maybe I should reconsider but hell there's so many beautiful ladies available here and not much hassle to meet with them so the convenience is hard to pass up. Besides, as they say, nothing is really free.

So, I've gotten some PM's on this, all supportive. I noticed a couple of other questions ILW had. Please note this disclaimer, this is just what has worked for me and it doesn't always work. I do some experimenting all the time.

So, yes, having a blind e-mail address is as much a good idea as having a blind phone. As for figuring out e-mails that are spam, bots or LEO, trust me, you will figure that out in a day or two. They are that obvious. You really have to wonder now pathetic some guys must be to fall for the obvious fakes. On CL I have tried a few different categories. The only one that really works is the "Casual Encounters, M4 W." Nothing else has ever worked for me and trying to hit the regular dating site only pisses people off. I get that. You don't like it when someone does a bait and switch on you, don't do it to anyone else.

Shooting e-mails back and forth using the CL e-mail is OK. As soon as a responder gives me her real e-mail address I know I am going to score. It is a total waste of time to click on any kind of link in an e-mail. Duh.

As I said in the previous post, this is just one tool to use. I think I would like to try the college cutie trick that one of the previous posters said he uses. That is pretty cool to get a young regular.

The last thought I have is over your "economically friendly" comment. You are going to find the needs of ladies to be all over the map. My thought on this is that $$ for a SP for an hour that is totally scripted is one thing. Spending several hours in a hotel talking, drinking wine, eating cheese and having casual booty that is all over the map with a young lady that never looks at the clock for the same $$ to help with rent is a completely different experience. But there are times I really want the scripted in and out with fake "O"s and there are times I want to know that the big "O" the lady had was real and I gave it to her. It is the same $ So, your ad should include the word "generous" and you should not cheap out. I think you will give less coin. That is OK. I just would be generous.

As always, just my 2 cents.

[QUOTE=ILuvWomen2;2051606]You said $$ a NIGHT!! Not an hour. This is what I need. Especially since I want a travel companion for cruises and business trips. I just am fearful because the researching doesn't seem to be as easy. I have been lucky to not have any really terrible experiences with providers, but something more economically friendly is very appealing.

Anyone with tips on how to get started feel free to Pm me.

I'm guessing it starts with a dummy email to filter out all the spam, but the sections to place ads and answer ads I have some uncertainty with. Also being able to decipher fake ads, setups, LEO, and the real deal has to be an acquired talent.[/QUOTE]

You got it C3! Nice advice.

Thanks for the tips. I am up in Gainesville and my CL post don't last an hour before being flag. I see other post that state the sme things but mine get flaged.

C3.[/QUOTE]Camera3, You and I may have traded some PM's last year not sure. After reading the CL forum in Orlando last year I started to dabble and have had some serious luck in Pasco, Tampa, and St. Pete. My issue is that there are so many pricks on the Tampa craigslist that they flag everything. Just like another monger mentioned if I post it will get deleted in less than an hour, maybe minutes. I try being creative using helping hand or generous gentleman in the subject field. I know this was directed to Camera but anyone can chime in cause you guys are rocking CL in Orlando. Looking for some feedback / ideas? Feel free to PM me or post it out here. Be safe.

I wonder if it is the spammers and bots that flag stuff because a legitimate hobbyist gets in the way of business? I personally haven't had anything flagged in the cities I work. I tend to keep it simple with, "Generous businessman stranded in (fill in the city) over the weekend looking for a lady to hang out with." Or, something like that. I am still getting spam and bots from my most recent trip to Phoenix in February but I did score well there. I didn't score at all with CL in Charlotte last month but did score a no holds barred GFE with BP and maybe the most amazing lady ever for $.4 hr off of a year old post on USASG, and USASG isn't very strong there.

So, I just posted an ad on CL for Tampa. Let's see what happens. I'll let you know.

C3.[/QUOTE]Thanks Camera, I typically do the same but if yours does not get flagged in Tampa it will be a miracle. I travel to the Charlotte area on business and have been for some time. Curious who you saw? I have my ATF up there so I really don't see anyone else up there anymore. I learned the hard way down in South FL not to post a CL ad way ahead of time because most of these girls situations change at the drop of a hat. Had a couple of young Latina's on the string but by the time I got there they were unavailable.

Recently had the displeasure (earlier this week) of setting an appointment with Rosea in Altamonte {ad shows digits as: (seven3 one) XXX-4 four2 eight }-731-XXX-4428- and was shocked at just how much weight this girl has tacked on her bones since she took the photos shown in her add. Fellas, it's not even CLOSE! Cottage cheese forming on the inside thighs, droopy boobs, and a mid-section even old saint nick would be envious of. On the plus-side (no pun intended) she is VERY sweet, can complete a sentence without going "ummmm" countless times and apparently enjoys the company of men. When she said her fee was for the advertised service of BR and not FS, I took that as my opportunity, and I hightailed it out of there. No one's hands are worth a Franklin and a Grant. NO ONE!

All right. Here is the results of the experiment I did for BillyBob. So, 19 hours ago I posted on Tampa CL a typical ad that I have had results with a few times. Here it is:

[URL]http://tampa.craigslist.org/hil/cas/4407086271.html[/URL]

So far, it has not been flagged. Sorry, BB. The unusual thing is that so far I have only had three replies. I am shocked at that as I would have expected a dozen or so bots and maybe a live one, if I was lucky. Two are obvious bots but the third is an 80/20. 80% chance it is a UTR, 20% chance it is LE. I didn't take it any further. If I did I could determine with one round of e-mails how it would swing. So, I don't know what to say about your experiences of being flagged.

About Charlotte. Happy to share.

Fist SP is Jayla. She is no holds barred FS, no rules at all. I did a TER review with her still with me and she had me answer "yes" to all the variances and fetishes. Pics are real. My date started out disappointingly plain until I figure out she takes real good direction. It then moved into the fast lane. She is a bit scatter brained. What's new? I think damage was $.8 or $$ for hr??

Second is Brianna, sort of UTR, part time, fun girl. It took a week to get the date but it was memorable. Note, no phone, e-mail only, so if you do want a date with her start writing early. At $.4 hr, no clock watching, GFE, no evidence of drugs, educated, selective.

Good luck with the whole flag thing and tell Jayla and / or Brianna I said Hello,.

To everyone having success in CL. I'm willing to bet you're not a minority and / or are white.

A majority of the listings in O-town ask for distinguished white males, and if you choose one that doesn't specifically ask for that, the person on the other end asks eventually.

While I doubt anyone is willing to admit it, if there are any actual minorities that have had success, I'd like to hear it. If I do a post on CL and choose to disclose my race, I rarely receive a reply back OR they're ridiculously fat / old / have 0329023 kids (c-section scars)/ upsell.

From what I've seen, age doesn't matter as long as you have money. Race does affect results, and should be a caveat.

Hell lady Beth from BP used to be there and met her for free! It just takes answering countless ads but eventually you get a gem.

Has anyone notice their seems to be more ads on craigslist women looking for men section. I wonder hows much of it is legit?

C3.[/QUOTE]Thanks C3 for giving it a shot in Tampa. Apparently I need to tone down my ads a little without throwing it out there about a helping hand. I will take your direction.

As for NC, you were up in the Greenesboro area, I typically stay in the CLT area so those two are new for me but the little brunette is cute as hell. If you make it up there again reach out to me as I have an ATF in the CLT area and have become pretty good friends with.
