Who here has done the 'personals' thing?

So I have a personals ad on CraigsList right now.

http://philadelphia.craigslist.org/cas/391701612.html

Think it's nice or sucky? Be 100 % honest and if it's really that bad, what should be changed, removed, or added?

lol

casual encounters

after posting there, you'll be posting in missed connections

Don't use Craigslist for personals....I wouldn't trust that site for anything. Actually..even though it hasn't yieled me with the best results yet..meeting people on MySpace or Facebook who live in your area or go to your school (if you have one) is probably a better bet than any personal ad site. Just browse..find someone who has similar interests or a good personality and strike up a conversation...message them. See how that works...if not..meet someone in real life at school, work, club, activity etc.

as for the ad

extremely geeky, especially with listing metric units alongside american units

i'd choose better pictures

you'd succeed better if you were posting on men seeking women

this isn't really a casual encounters ad. that section is for random STD 420/skiing happy until after the next morning sex

you're bond to get desperate dirty people looking for you.


-and yes craigslist is amazing for apts. and jobs.

and sports tickets

I've never used it. It just seems like the sketchiest site on the intratubes.

edit: never used it for anything.

I found my job on craigslist a few years ago, my bestfriend as well. My ex bf found his apartment on there. I got tickets to a concert as well. Ebay is no different. You really dont know if you're going to get what you're after.

i've used it lots of times. i just have to avoid any deals where the prices are close to the going rate that's on scalping sites as stubhub.com. usually i'd use it to buy any normal non playoff games.

nah, ebay's far better, imo, 'cuz it's not anonymous. If you don't do any research at all, sure, but it's pretty easy to avoid problems.

I was going to post some DJ Equipment to sell on there, but I posted it on TA and I had success and I trusted the people cause I saw their pictures (they had MySpace accounts) and nothing about them made me question their legitamecy.

I just wouldn't trust a site like that...seems sketchy. I wouldn't trust Monster.com either and none of those personal ad sites like EHarmony or Match.com I guess some caution before proceeding is a good thing, even on TA.

as long as you use good judgment and caution for any site, you'll be fine

Craigslist is the same, I don't know about personals but apt/house hunting is great on there, and everything else I have used it for has been nothing but good. I'm currently looking for a new job on there and have great interviews ( just not totally what I am looking for). IT's much more local for the stuff you really need/want, for a lot of items you can request the seller to send you more info, pics, call you or email you about it.

Lowered Expectations...

haha you have to use craiglists to find a girl.

Yeah that's true. I do that for MySpace now. I really don't want to meet people on there but sometimes I feel like it's one of the few places where I can meet some people who might share common interests or where I can see what they are like before deciding to add them/message them. Been hard to meet people in real life for me (and believe me, i've tried). So maybe it's the same with the thread starter? Shyness can get the best of you...so personal ads are sometimes used as a "desperate" last resort (in my case they would be) if everything else fails.

I put it in CE because I definitely don't want LTR/'commitment' but also don't want only sex. So I guess it just depends on which side weighs more?
