To Craigslist or not to Craigslist?

[Curiousguy04]

Ive been seriously thinking about taking the plunge and making fantasy a reality and meeting a tgirl. I have been looking in Craiglist. There are some cute girls in my area. But im hesitant still. Ive wondered if Craigslist is as safe as a dating site. Ive heard several bad things about Craigslist. Any thoughts?

Just play safe that's the most important thing

[saifan]

Eros if an option in your area.

[Plaything]

Just be smart. Keep your brain switched on. This forum can be helpful...but you still sorta have to read between some lines. Some amazing and special girls out there. Good luck.

Depends on what you're looking for. I've had success on craigslist but it's like sorting through garbage to find a diamond ring.

I think backpage is good..but like craigslist.. gotta filter

[RallyCola]

craigslist is hit or miss. there are girls that are honest and others that are bait and switch. there are other security concerns as well.

if a girl has a verified eros ad or reviews here or elsewhere, you might be better going that route.

there are too many stings going on and you have the RIPOFFS

Why are you using my girlfriend's photo as an avatar?

[francisfkudrow]

Are you looking to date or are you looking for an escort?

For dating, craigslist is OK. Check out the "Casual Encounters>T4M" section. Be aware that a number of the ads (the good looking girls mostly) are actually escorts. Because craigslist was forced to get rid of their escort section, you'll find personal ads that are actually escorts (note the phone number in the ad). Overall, it's a mixed bag of nuts, so don't go in with high expectations. For dating, I'd actually suggest a real personals site (I use adultfriendfinder).

For escorts though, I'd suggest backpage. Of those escorts you find on craigslist, virtually none of them will have reviews. On backpage it's not too much better, but you maybe find reviews for 5% of them. The main benefit of backpage is that if you live in a small city, there's a backpage page for them, while on eros, the nearest represented city might be 100 miles away or more.

I personally swear by reviews. I won't see an escort that doesn't have any. That's an important method for staying safe.

Do yourself a favor and make an alternate e-mail to use for Craig's List. Most of the postings are spam bots. I've hooked up with two, cute, sweet trans girls off there. I don't know if my results are typical, but I'm happy.

I just moved to Utah and there are like no TS womrn around here. Can anyone help me? Cl is dead here as well as backpage. Id love to actually date a hot TS. Im 6'8" 240lbs and 27yo and white. Hell id even do an umpaid vid shoot with a hung monster shooter! If anyone can help thanks a ton!

Craigslist is virtually a wasteland in most cases. In almost all major metros in the US, the vast number of ads are for working gurls. The reason is pretty simple, you don't have to pay for the ads (they're free) and if you use any half-way decent image search, you'll also discover that nearly all of the ads use photos that are of some famous model or TS porn star In any event rest assured that the person in the photos will not be who you will be seeing. Several members here also posted about rip-offs, shake downs and muggings from Craigslist ads, so my advice would be ABC ... Anything But Craigslist.

Backpage is slightly (although just barely) better than Craigslist. Backpage charges for the ads and they accept payment only though credit cards. So at least in theory, you're not dealing with the least common denominator because Backpage essentially requires a verifiable identity (for their purposes anyway). Getting a credit card is a pretty low threshold by the way. The Backpage crowd also tends to be slightly less ghetto a a result of cost and occasionally, you can run across some visiting talent who you can cross check by image search and by Googling the phone number in the ad. Plenty of fakes here too - so Backpage is no means a safe bet. You'll want to check TER in any regard before you actually visit anyone.

Eros is by far the most reliable in terms of talent and verification (they Certify their advertisers) and as you might expect, the ads there can cost real money. If an escort is earning well the cost of an Eros ad is merely a business expense and an investment on continued business.

The jury is out on dating sites as far as I am concerned. Nearly every site associated with AFF has been under investigation for inflating membership, using expired members, publicly available and model's photos to enhance the number of matches any given user gets. They own some 20 plus websites and the user profile information is shuttled back and forth between them. But as they say with respect to just about everything Your Mileage May Vary.
