I got the impression that this site had a world-wide membership & following, so I thought the chances were slim of actually finding someone local, but I've actually hooked up with 2 very decent guys for exactly what I was looking for here in St. Louis. Go figure. I was really suprised. As to meeting people thru sites like lpsg or Craig's, I've found that you have to weed thru all the undesirables & pretenders to find the few possibles, & then try to meet as soon as posible. The longer you wait, you lose "momemtum" & the chances of meeting diminish thru inertia. But thru persistence,common sense & judgement, I've have found some good people. Good luck.
