Hello all!

I recently checked out the personals section of my local Craigslist for the first time. I've only used Match before. I was wondering if anyone here has made a connection with someone through Craigslist? If so, what was your experience? Also, has anyone here ever posted a personal ad to Craigslist? If so, did you recieve any worthwhile replies?

Do you prefer to post a personal ad to a "structured and predictable" site like Match or an "unstructured and anything-goes" site like Craigslist? I'm just wondering about the positive and negative aspects of each approach . . .

From what I've read on this board, I'm under the impression most people prefer Match-type sites.

I use CL all the time, I have in two different cities. I might be in the minority, but I LOVE it.

It's easy, it's free. I've had quite a few dates. I've also met some girlfriends, fellow pilots to fly with, a workout buddy, etc.

You just have to weed through the guys who only want sex, but it's easy to delete an email, right?

Actually, Stacey out here met someone on craigslist and dated him for a while and I know of someone else that met someone there and they have been dating a couple of months. I think it probably is a place to meet people but you have to be willing to wade through the crazies and ones looking for "casual encounters" but you have to do that on OLD anyway!
