Craigslist nostalgia

[samanthaDee]

I hate that Craigslist encounter section no longer exists.

It was such a joy to put up a sexy listing and next morning having your fair share of hot guys.

I have fond memories of Backpage and Craigslist.

The last few years so many fun encounter websites either changed their policy or went off air :-(

Met amazing people through Craigslist :-(

I share the same sentiments.
It was so much fun and rather hot.
You could describe what you are looking for. And I met some very cool guys that I eventually lost touch with. I hope that wherever they are in life, they are doing well.

It was good while it lasted. Maybe someone will create it again

I miss it. It seems like the people were actually looking for hook ups and not just fishing. I sure did get a lot of happy ending massages using CL (including my first)

Right, like something similar.

As a straight man looking for women, it was 99.9% spam and scams, or men pretending to be women, looking for pictures of men. During a long drought of no women in my life, I found an escort on Craig's List and was able to verify that she was real via The Erortic Review website. That was my one and only successful encounter. I believe Backpage came along after I was in a relationship and no longer needed to look for casual encounters.

Miss it too. Use eros.com now. Expensive but satisfying

Backpage is or was a similar site to Craigs...?

The late 90's were the golden age of the internet before people figured out how to make money on it so it was mostly real people interacting.

There used to be a guy in Chicago who posted he had a 10.5" dick and warned that he was very loud during sex. His roommate wore noise-cancelling headphones, he said. I used to love finding his new posts. I never reached out, but just his posts turned me on. One time I was in London and found a post by him on the London CL site. I used to love reading all the posts just to get turned on by what people were looking for. But this guy stands out in my memory and I'm getting turned on just reminiscing about him and his posts.

Oh the horny college boys who used it to get cock! Mine.

One was a tall thin lad from China stressed during finals. In his pic his cute twink butt stuck out from under t-shirt which hid a tramp stamp - the ideogram for love. I had no idea what he was saying in Chinese while I fucked him but it sounded dirty AF. I relieved his stress more than once that week.

Another was a short Latin lad whose beautiful brown apple bottom was evenly covered with fine hair. I understood most of the Spanglish he uttered. He was a Dreamer who said I fulfilled his dream of getting big white daddy cock. Ay dio papi!

As a couple trying to find a third man or woman was horrible. So many wannabes and flakes. We did score a few that are still friends to this day.

Worth every penny. Just be patient and be selective. You get what you pay for.

Craigslist was the best. Here in Miami most of the guys I hooked up with were married closet men..I used to hook up sometimes 3 times a day this was around 2012 till the end of Craiglist one guy I just finished with and another was parking outside I will honestly say I hooked up with over 3000 men easily in a 5 year span at Craigslist..but it was never any anal penetration just oral sex and we did it anywhere in parks in stop cars on a street. In the bed of the guys wife. Now Grindr is a real bummer most guys there are out and proud. Craigslist were extremely closet men who only wanted to bust a quick nut. Some didn't send any pics but when they arrived they were quiet handsome. The ones who were not very attractive I told them I changed my mind.

I too used it to get free massages. I used to make them massage me for an hour before I would let them work on my dick.

Two things stand out regarding Craigslist in memory. First, I had been to the grocery store and was looking at produce. There was this Hawaiian guy looking, too, and we remarked to each other that it didn't look very good that day. I walked away, and my then-roommate told me the guy was staring at me, particularly my ass.

Later that day, I posted an ad on Missed Connections describing the encounter. Next day, he responded. He took me to a waterfront where we took off our shirts and made out. I noticed that nearby, there was a naked woman emerging from a tent and watching us. I said, "There's a woman over there watching us." He said, "Really?" turned to look at her and continued kissing me.

After a while, we went back to my place. There was no fucking, just a lot of play - body contact and kissing, mostly. Come to find out, he had a partner (male) who didn't know what he was up to. I usually don't go for that, but there it was. After he left, I never heard from him again.

The second one was from when I posted an ad specifically looking for a heavyset local (Hawaiian) guy who wanted to get sucked off by a bearded white guy. The guy who responded was a gorgeous Asian bear. I sucked him off in his truck and he thanked me, as guys often do when I suck them to completion. We met a second time, same thing. Turned out, he had a girlfriend who would "kill him" if she knew, and he was a teacher at the local high school.

The first guy that I ever hooked up with I met on Craigslist casual encounters. He came over and I blew him and he was gone immediately and I never heard from him again lol

I probably would have been one of them if I tin Florida lol. You described me perfectly pretty much. A guy who who wanted to keep it in the down low and just get right to business as soon as we meet up lol . My first few meetings with guys were from Craigslist, since then it’s been pretty much all Grindr. I see a lot of people talking shit about Grindr on here but I’ve had a lot of success with it. I bet if I signed into the app right now I could have someone over here within 15 minutes. Craigslist was cooler though for sure because you could put up an ad and come back in few hours and have at least 10 guys to choose from, on Grindr it’s all about right now

Yeah Craigslist was better for me because the guys were looking for now and it would happen anywhere and some didn't send a pic. But when they came out the car. Damn. Studs for real. These guys aren't on Grindr but many still live around the area cause I've seen them but when Craigslist closed I guess it was a wrap for there gay hookups and they are afraid of getting on Grindr because it's an app and Craigslist was just a ad ..

Doublelist reminds me of Craigslist.
