Two days ago I posted an ad on craigslist on the strictly platonic side. So far no one has responded to my ad.

Here is my ad

seeking a good friend - m4w


Is there anything I did wrong?

"Accidentally" change it to w4m and you'll get a million responses.

I think most women are going be wary of m4w seeking platonic friendships and just assume that it's a guy looking for a girlfriend or a hookup. That and it's a very dry generic post, nothing about your personality.

Why not make friends the old fashioned way? Talking to people, through work, other mutual friends...

There's a site with local meet ups, delineated and sorted by hobby/interest. I'd also recommend book discussion groups if you like to read- libraries have them.

Meetup.com

It's far easier to post an ad than to respond to one. Have you replied to any of the w4m ads?
