I know CL has been gone for a while, but I'm just curious how guys are going about hookups now?

I used to browse squirt.org, but its few and far between in my area. Any other suggestions that have worked out for you guys?

I'm in Maryland, btw, near BWI.

I miss CL too. I've had a lot of guys on here mention DoubleList. It is very CraigsList-like, but it isn't the same for me. I'm located 2 hours from the nearest city, so the responses are very limited. And DL is VERY picky about what you can say in the ad. You have to be very creative with your wording. But in the 2 years I have tried DL, I have had some success. I met 2 great guys and I still communicate with them.

I've tried Squirt too. It is okay. Very limited local audience with even less local action. I do enjoy reading the Cocktales and I've recently started adding my own stories.

Phone apps are still the best for hookups. For me, Grindr has been the best. Biggest number of local guys and a huge part of them are looking for hookups. I've tried Scruff, but fewer guys on there and more guys looking for more than a hookup. Growlr has been so-so. Met a great guy on there, but he is located over 2000 miles away. Met another guy who was local at least. But after many months of him remaining anonymous to me, he turned out to be a previous trick. After a few years of hearing about his husband and wanting to see me again and not sure how he can get away, I told him to "Shit or get off the pot!" I then deleted the app. Not worth it to me.

Thanks for the input. I appreciate it. CL really left a gaping hole (no pun intended).

People are still using CL to some extent here. They have just switched to the missed connections section.

CL, Activities section, creatively worded, haven't tried it but interesting posts. Lurk Doublelist, still working on the nerve to explore. Lots of posts but seems there are a lot of flakes/ or pic scammers

I miss CL, I always dreamed of finding a jerk off group or a group where we hung out in states of undress/showed each other our underwear and stuff, drank some maybe and chilled with video games or something.
