I am miserable and lonely.

Does making that post catapult me into a whole new level of miserable and lonely, or not?

1. It seems reasonable to me...
if you're looking for a meaningless sexual fling to post one. I stopped judging other people last year. If it presents the possibility of what you're looking for and you're okay with it...that it would be the rational thing to do.

I hope you find some good people to hang out with, and maybe a close person to hook up with. :hug:

3. It ain't no different than going to a bar for the same reason, at least on craiglist your are honest
about what it is ya want and upfront :)

It's called being efficient.

If I didn't have the wife my ass would probably try it too....

I'm lonely too. And sufficiently desperate.

8. Thanks for the thought, but it doesn't work.
I'm a mopey bastard.

When I go clubbing, I mostly just sit around, and dance maybe twice a night.

13. The only place I usually club is at the Castle.
And even then it's maybe once a month.

16. The invitation stands
if you want a clubbing pal or armcandy to drive 'em wild, I'm your man.

19. I may take you up on that.
It would be good to go clubbing with someone in a relationship. Less competition. And you're a pretty pleasant fellow. Be good to have someone to talk to.

But...armcandy? You do remember I'm a guy, right? A bi guy, true, but only mildly so. I don't chase enough guys to need armcandy. And having girls show up to drool on you might defeat the purpose, even if you go: "Hey, I'm in a happy relationship, but my buddy here's single."

10. you know, I don't know
I have just gotten into reading craigslist but I don't read those areas. What I do read are the 'best of craigslist' rants (left of page midway down), and it's apparent that some people use those casual encounters quite frequently. I don't think it is any different than going to a bar. One in particular I read blew my mind...I'll just post the link. I mean, when you consider how vulnerable this woman is making herself to these men, it seems crazy, but she does it, with ground rules (meets in a public place first, asks to see their drivers liscense, etc) but still, it's a trip
http://www.craigslist.org/about/best/wdc/329801369.html

I don't think it is for me, but if there are women out there that are into it, it might be a public service but you should know what you are doing, be really careful, and maybe ask around with other people's experience (not to mention safe sex). You know, you could post a question on craiglist about it, lol.

11. She's hysterical!
#11) Again, your friend cannot watch. Who is that guy anyway? Wasn’t he in Deliverance?

#12) You may not call me bitch, slut, or whore outside the bedroom. If you do, don’t be surprised if I go nuclear on your ass. I have a name, use it. If not I might be forced to refer to you as daddy in public.

#13) If you don’t respect and like women, don’t email me. If you hate women and want a blowjob, I can hook you up with my gay roommate.

#14) If I spend two hours getting ready for our playdate I expect you to put a little effort in to getting ready as well. At least shower, no one likes that musty ball smell.

12. I know, it just gets better the more you read.
:rofl:

I've found that most of those rants on 'best of craigslist' are really good...more often than not the people are really funny. :hi:

18. I like her already
I'm not looking around on Craigslist, but I like the fact that she has the self-respect to not let anyone walk on her -- well, outside of the bedroom.

15. i've hooked up answering a few of those -- but i have to tell you --
i'm an adventurous slut.

i am picky about looks -- and on craigs list the picture thing is important.

you're gonna get no shows -- teases -- and pic collectors.

but it's eminently doable -- very.
