Black Jack..why does it seem like your level headedness and sound logic elude so many guys in here?

I'm pretty frugal, the thought of paying $39.99 a month for a dating site is sickening, I better be getting something for that price ! At least Craigslist if free .... I guess if you are safe and the person is normal, bang away !! We are all human and have our needs- Drama free, strings free, stress free is sometimes good once in a while. My only concern is being attacked or found in a dumpster.

LOL

If I am going to pay $40 bucks for an internet dating service, I better get some complimentary lap dances, free of charge!

This is going to sound crazy...but...I met my SO through CL. I was bored at work, and just surfin' the 'net. He had posted an ad (NOT casual encounters, mind you) about looking for a nice girlfriend. Well, I thought he was just adorable from the pic he posted, and answered him (kind of as a goof at first, though not to hurt anyone's feelings, just didn't really think it would go anywhere ).

Well, we had several conversations on the phone, and he found me to be attractive from the pics I sent him. We set up a date, and...the rest is history. He's the man I was meant to spend my life with. We celebrated our 2 year anniversary a few days ago. I guess I just got lucky.

Well she had to be a wacko to invite you to her house anyway! I personally would never even use Craigslist in that manner, but I can't believe people are that foolish.

Has any heterosexuals actually met anyone from the craigslist casual encounter's section?

Gay men seem very comfortable finding each other for sex without strings. But because gender imbalance is so great between men looking for sex without strings and women looking for sex without strings I just assumed that those women willing to do it, would be charging for it.

It actually suprises me that there are women on craigslist who are doing it for free. I just figured the ads were from hooker's hoping to upsell you later.

You learn something new every day.

That's what it must be because men constantly whine about being directed to various paid sites.
