No, there is enough pulling going on here right now and I want to figure out something that works.

Come on.

You could just pay for it, if this ^^^ is actually how you feel.

Did you never keep contact with anyone from your CL days? Were they all anon hook-ups?

Actually a few but dwindling.



Not really attracted to streetwalkers and professional escorts.

So you had a specific fetish, basically, but access to that fetish was ended. So what do other people who have very specific fetishes do in those situations?

I can't really say specific fetish.


Always interested in meeting new people for whatever or casual dating or anything.


Just zero success or traction across several decades.



The downside with Tinder is that it really throws it in my face and mocks me for it.

You can't? Really?

I remember very well the thread you started about this, where you basically say that the CL personals section was how you got off and that you couldn't relate to people without going that route.

And they are IP banning accounts.

So no more blanketing the site with ads with the hope that I might get a few hookups a year.

I do admit being completely addicted to casual encounters. I also admit to not being on anything resembling a date in decades and going years without even having a successful conversation with a member of the opposite sex.

Last non-Craigslist hookup was in 2003.

Of course the scammers and bot ads are still continuing unabated as usual.

Just another fatal blow in the death of the free internet.

This is the most despondent I have felt in years.
I'd say that qualifies as a fetish. So what do other people who have very specific fetishes do when they can't get access?

Well, it was the only route I had any success whatsoever and even that took me until I was 40.

I have no idea. I tried doubling down on my various moneymaking schemes but that also seems to be on the wane so I am obsessing over this again.

Let's be realistic here, I don't think there are a whole lot of women interested in hooking up with strange men off shady sites like craigslist. And from your post history, iirc you make not much more than minimum wage, live in a dump apartment with a weird roommate, and have not had a girlfriend in 20 years. You live in LA, which already is an insanely competitive place to live in all areas of human endeavor including getting women.

Obviously I know nothing about how you look or what your profile is like, but I’m sure being over 40 doesn’t help on those apps. If you are looking for much younger women, they probably aren’t even seeing your profile if you aren’t in their preferred age range. And if you’re looking for older women, they probably aren’t using those apps. But I could be wrong.
