Has anyone on here actually tried it?

Does it ever actually work or is it too much scamming people and slimeballs to bother dealing with?
 
Over the past 6 months I've sold a ton of stuff on CL. Never my virtue though.
 
Isn't that where the killers find you?

That would just be awful.

No, but I have a confession. I like laughing at the "missed connections."

I've never actually read them.
I browse the personals often, never replied to any yet.
Was considering maybe trying my hand at posting one, but wanted to see other people's experiences first.
I mean if it's a waste of time, then I won't bother.
 
I did once. I met up with with a girl who would be best described as a hippie, frozen in time, at a bar where there was a Dead cover band playing.

She excused herself at one point so that she could spin like a whirling dervish for no less than ten minutes, full speed, perfect balance, during one of the songs. She was very sweet and smart as a whip, but a little too out there for me.
 
Sweetheart, you'd have to find restraints strong enough to hold me down first.

Pfffff... I'm bigger, stronger and faster than you. Don't believe for a moment that your youth would match my skill.

Besides, my vow of celibacy has restored my virtue to it's original condition.

Doubtful.
 

I'm sure this never happened.

But I still enjoyed it.

Yea, lousy sex but it was your fault - m4w
Living room, ice clinking in our drinks, your lips glistening in the dim candlelight, a soft scent of fine perfume, a silent thunderstorm of desire. Then you did the unimaginable. You poured the rest of your vodka&7 into the small plastic aquarium where my seamonkeys live. I panicked but tried to look calm. You slid down the zipper of your slinky black dress but I had one eye on the seamonkey village as the vodka infused their magical little world. Fine satin underwear, you tossing back your long silky hair, but I couldn't turn away from the turmoil they were now experiencing. Stumbling through their little seamonkey village, singing Firework loud and offkey, yelling "I love you man" down the streets of Seamonkey Village. I was distracted, I couldn't focus on what we were doing. I know it wasn't good. Can I get a do over?

it's NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests

Translation: she fled screaming and never called you back.

I know. What kind of woman would purposefully kill sea monkeys?

Like any online personals you have to trust that folks are who they say they are. And if pics are involved if there's no datestamp you trust that they aren't older than 5 years ago.

It just feels a bit like one is slumming if they go to CL for dating. No fees. Killers, Escorts and Scam artists also frequent these aisles. Good luck. Take your mace, a grain of salt and meet in a public place on your first date.
