"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Anybody care to post any craigslist experiences? I've always thought of CL as the absolute bottom of the barrel but I'm bored with the normal online dating stuff.

Are the "casual" "w4m" personals all scammers or are there some real chicks? I see "mixed" and "thick" written a lot so I assume (in SoCal anyway) it's a bunch of fat latina broads. I'm surprised at the ages though which seem quite young (19-24).

Anybody actually tried CL? It seems so sketchy to me but, ****, I'll try it. The idea of immediate anonymous sex is kind of a turn-on, as long as I don't get hit over the head and robbed when I show up.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

I've had a CL lay.

I always tell myself that it was just luck, though.

I know a guy who got into doing that... Mostly cause he couldn't get laid on his own, though. Apparently lots of them were pretty ugly, which makes sense.

Other than porn site spam, mostly you'll find cheating wives and couples wanting another guy for a threesome. A lot of the ads say "day time availability only," which means that hubby has a 9-5 job.

Most of the CL casual encounter ads are men-seeking-men. Reading over those will certainly let you know what public bathrooms to avoid :eek:
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

my younger brother has done quite a few hookups through CL but they were all very low quality.

I had a few email exchanges with one last year, after the third, I said lets send photo's to each other....she was a 300 pounder.

I tried a few times, the only legit response I was from this uggerz chick, who after I sent her my pic was all over it trying to entice me over. Needless to say I backed out as soon as I saw her pic(s).

Another one, yep, looking for threesome. I think that's about all you're going to find there. I gave up on that sh1t a while ago.

If there was absolutely no scammers I might at least try sometimes, but it's not even worth it.

Oh yeah, I also remember one time me and this girl made this hilarious "men seeking women" post where I put myself down as one of those insecure muscle guys that drives a huge truck. It oozed insecurity, and I even put up photos of muscle milk, my "truck", and a pile of cash.

I made the mistake of putting up my real phone number though, and I got some pretty bizzare phone calls at 2am for a whole week. I also got emails from women thanking me for making their day, but I didn't capitalize on that. Maybe I'll try it again just for sh*ts and giggles.

And the housewife thing... sounds promising.

Only time I ever had a reply was from a girl who was decent looking and fvckable, but not a girl I'd like to be seen in public with lol. A little heavy but she was all right in her own way.

I never wound up meeting up with the girl, we exchanged a few emails and it turned out she's seen me around before? (same city).. This kinda creeped me out haha. Turned out we had mutual FB friends too.

If they are on Craigslist you can bet your ass something is wrong with them. The internet ain't no place for a pretty girl.

IMO it's too risky and you'd have more of a chance of going blind from masturbating than having a truly successful CL hook up. So take the chance and masturbate.

Believe it or not, but I was incredibly bored and horny one night and posted on Craigslist (OK that's not the unbelievable part) and through it I met a young, hot Chinese girl who's into ****.

I think it was a fluke, though. The odds were probably 1 in 1000 that she saw and ad and responded to it that night.
