The word I've heard is that a lot of streetwalkers and their pimps are discovering online advertising as the number of smart-phone internet-connected users grow.

I was on it about 8-10 years ago, for a couple years. Because the ratio is heavy ended Men to Women, you have to work really hard. I did find 2 Gems, but had to do a lot of working and waiting. You will find unattractive women in a reasonably quick time. Then the other problem, if this is a secret relationship, things can get very "complicated" after a while.

Because the Women can cherry pick, you'll have to get some pictures of yourself out there, have to write up a clever description of yourself, and then if you get messaged, its like an interview process to find out about you, because she is probably "interviewing" a handful of Guys.

So to answer your question, I had some luck, money investment was no big deal, time investment was just checking your message box once in a while, but you need a lot of patience.

Good point on payment, I either paid with a personal check or a bank check for AFF.

Buy a disposable debit card and put some low $ on it, like $20. Then you will limit what they can get from you.

I have not worked these really hard but had no luck. Better with Match or POF.

You have to make sure automatic renewal is turned off.

For example if you sign up for three months, then make sure it doesn't extend your membership.

They make it somewhat hard to do, but not impossible.

If you decide you do not want to be a member anymore, then delete your profile and account completely.

On the Friend Finder site, the odds are in the females favor, I can't remember if it was 25 to 1 or 50 to 1, Male to Female, so you have to be patient and work hard to get a reply with someone. You might find a Gem or 2, but will take a while. I don't reccommend, unless you have a lot of patience. Make sure you get a picture of person in advance, if you have a blind meet.

Now, you're taking your life in your hands responding to even the ad of some little old lady selling her bone China set. (You could end-up the bone she makes it from!)

A friend of mine was mentioning a rash a couple of years ago, of ad upon ad, upon ad, upon ad of posters which gave street names as the town names. And another time, where the same posters were claiming to be college students, looking to make a little scratch. (umm, yeah, but in the non-casual?) And, let's face it folks. How obvious is the word roses, with a large number next to it?

CL has become the dumping ground of everyone the old mis-quote from P. T. Barnum made. Someone looking for a sucker, to give them money, but give nothing in return. (read the story of P. T. Barnum, having a side-show attraction, called "The Great Egress". (after people paid to see something miraculous, they were shown a curtain, which they went through, that led to the outside.)

I've all but given-up hope on CL myself. I got a car from there (on suggestion from that same friend) , but now, Even there you're liable to end-up with a license plate you paid $2, 000 for. But, no key, engine, or car.

Craigslist was good for sex. BAD for much else these days.

I looked up a condo rental at a resort area. Looked legit, but the price was too good to be true for the area.

The rental agreement emailed to me looked okay, but asked for payment in credit card or money order (red flag).

So I researched the unit in question- NOT owned by the person sending me the contract and NO HISTORY by the association of that unit being a rental unit. Also no one at the association had heard of the person who was advertising in CL.

So, CL is full of bullshit scammers. No one prosecutes them!

The other 5% is usually real escorts looking for $ for sex, which is prohibited in the section.

I know this forum only reaches a limited audience, but can we be cognizant of how much we're paying? Anyone noticing that quick-stops are being posted (and confirmed through the phone) for. 85 to 1? That's ridiculous, and annoying. Should be able to get an in-and-out release for. 5 max. So, I've started telling the girls that's too high and I'm not going to visit. Hopefully we can get prices back in check! It helps them out too, a quick-stop should be that, quick release and mutual benefit for everyone, and this is a chance for us to assess whether to head back for a full visit. Everyone benefits.
