Seems like to me, a lot of "working" types, men or women in the adult business industry, tend to advertise on CL, posing as "regular" people. Then again, that's not to say other sites, don't become infiltrated with, industry types, posing. But, with that murder thing in the news, that ought to be, reason enough, to not go there. But, to each his/her own. Do You, but proceed with caution.

So... how many of those dates turned into a long term romantic relationship? Were any of those women marriage material?

Yeah, but Murderers and Dating aren't the same thing. Lol Kind of an invalid Comparison. Unless the person who dates doesn't disclose their (STD/HIV) status and gives it to someone else. Then in a sense that is kind of like murder.

You don't judge a dating site by how long a relationship is-lol You judge it by the number of people you meet who are dating material. Even if you meet someone in public and hit it off its no gaurantee it will work out in the long run.

Anyone who judges a site based on what one NUTCASE did needs medication. There are always going to be guys like him EVERYWHERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Like I said you just have to make smart decisions.

Right, but since YOU are the one that said CL was a great source of dates... cough up some details! How many of those dates were actually good enough that they resulted in repeat dates to the point of having a relationship? Just getting new women to date and none of the dates turning into a decent relationship isn't really a valid reason to recommend CL as a good dating site.

When judging a good dating site, it should be about find quality people to date, NOT the quantity of different people to date. And to me, quality translates into finding people that you want to date and have turn into a relationship.

But maybe you are more into casual hookups or FWBs.

Yeah right... as if you'd really respect and want to date a woman that was willing to sleep with you on the first night together. lol
