CraigsList Then & Now
[QUOTE=Sticky Rice; 1477653]Has anyone had luck on the casual encounters section. I have had alot of luck lately, all nsa from single females to married women. I no longer spend hrs roaming the streets or AMPs, I get it for free. I think if you are normal and decent looking don't waste your money on AMPs or SW.
Just a suggestion. Sure theres spam, but play the numbers. I get one real reply for evry 10 or so spam replies.[/QUOTE]I have been responding to CL W4M posts for a number of years, not looking for "free", but rather for the "under-the-radar-non-pros" who want to augment their incomes on a casual basis. In ten years I have scored a half-dozen solid "8's" with good attitudes and good skills. A couple of them have been long-term arrangements because we kind of "clicked". Though it's a lot tougher now, it's still possible to score on CL, you just have to wade through a ton of spam and garbage to find the gems. The "just divorced" matures are my thing because they don't require training, know the score, and want to have a good time too. Last year ran into a "revenge fuck" situation that made for a wild three months until she got it out of her system. One word of advice. Don't just look in "casual encounters". Any W4M section is "good game", and in fact,"platonic" has worked best for me overall. And, it actually is easier and more productive if you're a bit older.
CL Casual Encounters, Etal
[QUOTE=Sticky Rice;1479229]I just do a search for "w4m", I've even had success in the strictly platonic. Or missed connections. There seems to be more real people in those forums than the casual.[/QUOTE]Good point. I found a recently separated lady near my age a few months ago and we had a good time for a very reasonable donation to her rent fund. We repeated a few weeks later, and another good time was had on the same terms. Then oddly enough she called me a week later and we had a very relaxed and enjoyable lunch, which is about all I was expecting (Her treat, which really baffled me). It ended up being a full afternoon of "two friends doing what adults friends do", and on an overall basis I had one of the best times of my life. Because of the vibes I (awkwardly) asked near the end of it where we were at on the donation topic, and after a halting and uncertain conversation she advised it it wasn't the reason she had called. So I am not sure exactly were she and I are at, and I am not going to push to find out just yet, because I am certain she will share her thoughts soon enough. A reader's logical reaction to this could easily be "WTF?", and I have no problem with that at all. The point is that you encounter situations you never expected, and just have to decide "on your feet" what works, and what doesn't, and strive to keep an open mind in the process. Could be the lady is playing games, or is so upset over her situation that she isn't thinking clearly right now. And will change her mind. Or, well. There are a number of other possibilities, aren't there? The point is that people are people, even in a situation like "The Hobby". So. What would you have done?

Sounds interesting enough, just wondering if anyone else has met up with her?
