Other Sites Like Craigslist Personals

A lot of my readers have asked for other sites like craigslist personals. The truth is the famous personals section on Craigslist is now so swamped by internet con artists that anyone looking for a date or a a casual hookup needs to look elsewhere. I’m going to give you a rather cool alternative.

When you create a personals ad on CL personals you will get tons of responses. Sounds good, eh? Not so. Almost all of your responses come from internet marketers who are trying to make you spend money on either adult cams or dating. It goes something like this: You get a response from a beautiful woman, or a handsome man, and they tell you that in order to get to know them you need to join a dating site, which of course requires you to pay for a hefty membership.

Now the trouble is you get so many of these fake replies that it truly is impossible to tell the real people from the fake. And, trust me, this problem is not going away anytime soon. These marketers make thousands a day conning people into paying for things they can get free. Although Craigslist do their very best to limit spam – namely, IP tracking software and user moderation – these marketers are intelligent and skilled at slipping through the cracks.

So, obviously we need other sites like craigslist personals!

Most people assume that the big dating sites – those you see on TV with 10 million members – charge for membership. This is not entirely true. Yes, they have premium members, but they all have a free community side, too. The idea is to give you a free membership with limited features and hopefully, in time, you will decide to upgrade in order to receive more features. Some of these sites – most, actually – even give women free accounts with all the premium features, since dating sites rely on a plentiful supply of female members.

My suggestion is simple. Get yourself a free account on a community like Amateur Match. This is the biggest and most lively free dating community I know. What’s more, you a ton of features with a free account. All you need to do is make a profile and put in a search in your area. You’ll be given page after page of people that fit what you’re seeking, many of whom will be online. And, unlike CL personals, you can not only email them, but you can also instant message them – which gets you a far quicker response.

The beauty of a site like Amateur Match is every person who contacts you, or you contact, is a actual person, not some fake profile made by a dishonest internet promoter. So if you instant message or email 50 people and 50 people respond to you, then you have 50 people who are interested in you, 50 actual human beings. Not only that but you can check out their photo albums and if they have a webcam you can see them live as you chat to them.

One last thing. I happen to love their people-finder. You can literally put in a search for anything and find it. Say you want to date an Indian woman who has a foot fetish. The site will give you a list of such women – if any exist close to you – within a radius of your house. So if you’re looking for other sites like craigslist personals I suggest you try out any number of the big, well-known dating sites, by joining their free communities. My personal choice is Amateur Match.
