It’s free for everyone and it does not discriminate! The problem: it does not discriminate.
Craigslist is a great dating opportunity if you have a strong stomach and are up for an interesting read. You will have to weed out a lot of scary and boring offers, but it’s definitely an option for you.
Here are few tips if you chose to explore Craigslist:
1) Whatever you do don’t give out your last name or phone number in your profile and avoid those that do. If your e-mail address includes your last name, consider creating an address that does not.
2) Don’t be discouraged by the raunchy or overly aggressive profiles. While you shouldn’t contact those people, understand that there are a few good ones out there and you shouldn’t give up too easy.
3) Don’t ignore profiles because he or she doesn’t have a photo. Because Craigslist is so public I can understand why someone would choose not to post one. Just make sure to ask for a photo after you’ve exchanged a few e-mails.
4) Just because its Craigslist doesn’t mean you can write like crap. Same rules apply as in other online dating profiles. Be creative and to the point. If you need help writing a profile, use the DatingTales Writing Service.
5) None of these individuals have been screened so before meeting this person face to face, do a little screening of your own. A Google search or a PeopleSearch may help give you an insight, however its not 100% so be careful no matter what you do.
