Craigslist options?

The ho's are trying to use the Missed Connections category to hook-up. It's hard to get rid of them.

Other than that you'll have to go back to the parks.

go back to the interstate rest areas.

Yeh, please help find one. I had a lot of fun on craigslist with discreet hookups - way less stalkery than grindr, etc.

No. Pack it up, toots!

Reddit has also been purged of personal ads. Just like that. They won't stop until they shut down the hookup apps as well.

No more sperm-swapping allowed!

If you're clever you can maybe navigate the Xtube site (NSFW).

I'm still as popular with the ladies as ever, losers!

If dudesnude shuts down I'm gonna cut a bitch. They're based in the UK though, so probably safe.

BRING BACK BATHHOUSES!!

r9 The Tories are going after porn there as well so that won't last long either.

backpage.com

Forget it. It's all over.

Any tool can be misused:

"US Congress just passed HR 1865, "FOSTA", seeking to subject websites to criminal and civil liability when third parties (users) misuse online personals unlawfully.

Any tool or service can be misused. We can't take such risk without jeopardizing all our other services, so we are regretfully taking craigslist personals offline. Hopefully we can bring them back some day.

To the millions of spouses, partners, and couples who met through craigslist, we wish you every happiness!"

There has to be another website out there for hooking up easily, Craigslist was the best....every kind of guy was on there.

....except classy.

Sometimes, you don’t want class

Let me guess....you haven’t had a man touch in 20 years r13?

I went there for ass not class. Cl always delivered. So what happens to Adam or manhunt

CL never made money off the personals so they have an interest in seeing it shut down. Do you get it?

This way they can cut their loss and blame someone else.

As for hookups? Since the beginning of time people have been doing this, it isn't going to end because of this shut down. Perhaps it is a GOOD thing you need to put more than five seconds into a hookup.

Nobody here uses kik?

How is the missed connections thing working out?

Tap your foot at the JCPenney stalls like everyone else, Mary!

R20 - How would discreet married men find you on Kik?

Does anyone know if cruisingforsex.com would be a worthwhile alternative?

That site's a mess and incredibly trashy, but when you're in need...

What’s kik? How does it work?

cPro Marketplace. It might just catch on.

A bath house revival is the answer. And a much better choice than Craigslist.

No one gets robbed or beaten or shot in a bath house. Wallets are locked up in the lock boxes. ID's are on file. And always a buffet of similarly minded men.

So much unnecessary risk is eliminated in a bath house. If that danger is really what you miss about meeting up from Craigslist personals, then by all means go to the highway rest stops and truck stops. Troll the men's room in your local Walmart. You'll find all the danger you need to get off.

Amen, R27. I really don’t see why bathhouses aren’t more popular.

Because you gave be committed to go the bathhouse, pay an entrance fee where your ID is scrutinized, walk around in a towel and who knows what people you will see.

No, Craigslist was the perfect place for straight guys to have down low sex with men....totally anonymous.

Adult bookstores and public parks, were there is no entrance fee or ID will probably get a boost from Craigslist personal shutting down.

[quote]Craigslist was the perfect place for straight guys to have down low sex with men

Then they weren't straight.

Duh...but they that they are straight and a bathhouse, with all attendant commitment to enter, would entirely to much cognitive dissonance.

“I answered a Craigslist ad to get relief from some fag” is entirely different than walking around, for an extended period of time, in a gay bathhouse.

The guys I met on Craigslist were the exact same kinda guys I would have met in bars, just because you're looking for a particular kind of sex does not make you sleazy or some kind of social outcast.

The same people who have the wholesome upbeat profiles on Scruff are the same exact people posting on Craigslist, its just a quicker less bullshit way of meeting like minded guys.

I have zero interest in walking around in a towel at a bathhouse, everyone doesn't need to know my business or see my face.

Unfortunately there aren’t many bathhouse choices in Manhattan, I think there’s two and they’re supposed to be shitholes that attract Tina freaks. There’s something in Queens under the 59th street bridge but I think it just attracts short Latino restaurant workers, most of which are bottoms. Which is fine if you’re into that.

The bath house in the Albany area is busiest every day from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Then it is home to their wives. You want 'straight' on the down low, you may find your local bath house to be more accommodating than you think.

Relax. I'll start up a site soon.

Ew, R31. What low standards you have. Do you really like being some downlow loser’s “fag?”

Give me a bathhouse any day.

CL was the best place to find straight/curious guys. I wonder where they'll go now.

I suppose if the straight guy was scorchingly hot, I would not care what he thought of me r36

In fact, I very rarely care what my anonymous hook ups think at all. They’re just holes.

There used to be a nationwide site called outinamerica.com where you could post a personal ad with pics, likes, etc. The major cities had their own site.

Now, gone with the wind.

But Davey Wavey told me bath houses are seedy and gross?

I really, really miss Craigslist ads. I work in midtown Manhattan and am reasonably attractive and somewhat sane. I could usually find someone fairly quickly to suck or suck me and be done with the whole escapade during my lunch break. I don't want to sit at a bathhouse, I don't want to cruise a hotel bathroom, I don't want the endless back and forth of Grindr, and I don't want to suck dick through an ABS glory hole; plus I miss the hotel soaps I'd steal from the room service staff.

I had a particular thing for having down-low married men suck me off. I’m very well hung and handsome with a great body and don’t have any problem picking up gay guys but I really get turned on by having a married guy blow me - they are so damn ravenous about it - for me it’s been so awesome. Fortunately I have quite a few regulars but Craigslist was such a great resource.

Im seeing a lot of new picless profiles on A4A with “mwm” and other variations in the header.

I went to the ABS on 40th Street during lunch yesterday thinking it would be busy because of CL going away. Sadly it wasn't.

I know that in my time cruising for cock in bars, highway rest areas, bathhouses, etc I've played with married guys - usually I didn't know, other times I saw the ring but he was already on his knees doing his thing.

I do not cruise for married dick or cock suckers. I do not find it "hot" that a man has chosen to marry or live with a woman, but he needs to be sucking meat or having his serviced outside that relationship. He's made a decision, he should live with it or change his circumstances. The number of craigslist ads that I would just scroll past was incredible... very rare to find a guy who was gay, middle-aged, in decent shape who was posting at the site.

I'll get back to manhunt I guess and see what's happening there these days...

[quote] He's made a decision, he should live with it or change his circumstances.

My questions when I'm cruising for cock are: am I attracted to him, is he clean and seemingly healthy. His home life is not my concern.

Nobody has stepped in to take CL's place, because they'd have to make money at it, and they'd probably want to be based outside the US, so their executives cannot easily be arrested for sex slavery or child prostitution or whatever the neo-Victorians have named the crisis of the year.

For a long time I wished there were a paid CL-type site where the money would mean that the worst of the stupid crazy serial posting from psychos would be curtailed, and where the people who were posting were more motivated to get laid.

So now I have no-pic profiles on a4a and on BBRTS.com offering my dick to total bottoms who won't give me a bunch of flak for not having a gallery of photos they can pore over (Queen: "Do you have any more pics of your face?" Me: "No." [block]) It's the pic nonsense that makes hooking up on apps interminable. People get lost in the looking, never choosing. Since I'm a top I know I will get replies.

The bath houses in my city (there are 2) have been booming for the past couple years. As somebody else here said, there are a lot of married guys there from 11a-3p or so weekdays, because it's the cheapest fuck room in town. A lot of guys got tired of the apps and CL. Bathhouses and bookstores are the easiest way to get laid.

The bookstores in my city (there are at least 10) have all started charging moderate entry fees - on the order of $10 - to get into the theaters or the booths. This keeps out the worst of the worst. Even so, I went to "the wrong" bookstore a couple months ago, and the place was full of filthy street guys and trannies.

I’m on BBRTS.com like the above poster. Only pictures I have posted are of my dick and ass and I get lots of takers.

So romantic!

Vishara Video on 49th/8th is the worst. Filthy and full of hustlers and druggies

Another possibility for some of you whores is your local Reddit hook-up subreddit, usually called /r/[yourcity]R4R. It skews young, but these days, there's no harm in trying. Be sure to use a different ID than you regularly use, or else your cruising will be visible to anybody who clicks on your profile name.

R34 married guys in the Albany area also go to the bathhouse in Troy. They are twin cities, like Sodom and Gomorrah

....

#53, that's a really great link, thanks you!

I met the hottest married guy I've ever fucked on adult friend finder, about ten years ago. We ended up becoming good friends and regular fuck buddies. I haven't been on the site since I met him. Is it still active or worthwhile?

You realize AFF was hacked a few years ago, right R55? All their member data was leaked, and it floated around the internet in various file types for awhile. Maybe yours is out there too!

(Yes, AFF is still around, but I bet nobody is using it much.)

Squirt.org

I just checked - AFF is charging $40 A MONTH for an "enhanced" membership, whatever that is. They don't tell you what you get, either for free or for $40/month.

Squirt is full of married 50somethings who can't host, and tweakers.

I did not know about AFF leak. I have not been on there in about ten years, and I only had a free account, so they didnt have any information on me to be stolen.

[quote]Squirt is full of married 50somethings who can't host, and tweakers.

So true, except 50something is being very kind, most are 60 and up. It’s absolutely rampant with cross-dressers and those seeking them. So weird and so unlike every other site. I don’t understand why crossdressers love Squirt so much.

So I've posted to Doublelist and Sniffies. Right now it seems like all the tops like me are chomping at the bit to get laid - the tables are turned, bottoms! My post was clear I was looking for a total bottom and that I'm not vers. There are lots of guys who want a guy like me. Unfortunately the ones who replied are all on the other side of town. I got hammered with replies from CDs.

But I met up with a guy yesterday who claimed to be a bottom. He grossly misrepresented himself. He was in probably Day 3 of his most recent meth binge (my post said "no drugs"). He was dirty (my post specified that you should bathe), reeking of b.o. and cigarettes and bad breath.

He wanted me to suck his cock - which was peculiarly already hard when I walked in the door, and never once went down while I was there (which wasn't long) - I declined to suck him, as I'm one of those tops who doesn't suck dick. He had a nice house, but he took us to play inside this odd tiny massage room, about the size of a walk-in closet. There was no place to sit or lie. The massage table was wobbly and wouldn't be able to support us if we were to get busy. It dawned on me I was confined to this small, featureless room because he was accustomed to his drug peers trying to gank his shit.

I did grab his ass which was nice and round and remarkably clean. But I explained it was clear he wasn't really a bottom, and I don't get turned on by tops, so I'd have to leave. He tried one last time to get me to play, but I declined. I didn't talk to him about his drug or hygiene concerns.

Sniffies users are a bunch of mouth breathers. Is this what the apps are like? One word conversations and people unable to get to the point or communicate anything useful? Like Doublelist, right now it's full of horny tops. So you bottoms better get crackin'. There's definitely some good, pent-up dick out there right now.

Doublelist doesn't have a honolulh option ugh

Thanks, R53. Looks promising!

Jesus, R61, any one of those issues would have been enough to get me out of there. Horny, were ya?

It took me as long to write it as it did to live it, R64. Yes I was horny, but I wasn't in his place 10 minutes. I didn't get off even.

Hope bars make a comeback.

Looks like doubleclick may work, but how is it able to not be shut down like the others?

Backpage.com just got COMPLETELY shut down. It's the end of the world as we know it...

An .eu site will pop up like rentmen.eu Whores wont be losing sleep

R27 and R28

You’re not putting a bathhouse in MY neighborhood. What with all the hedonism and diseases that they bring. Besides, we have none of the “gays” here.

I used to live on the same street as the bathhouse in San Diego and I almost stepped on a fucking syringe one time as I was walking by it. NO THANK YOU

The hot dl guys and young guys don't want to pay for a damn bathhouse!

Prostitutes are getting inundated with calls from pimps now.

Coming Soon--- Amazon Personals!

"One word conversations and people unable to get to the point or communicate anything useful? "

Probably Russian hackers just compiling your info for later kompromat blackmail.

Lengthy article from CNN about the Allow States and Victims to Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act. I don't think it's exactly helped assuage the "outrage" some are expressing now that the personals section at craigslist is closed. It focuses on sex workers who used craigslist to find clients. I don't think the average person is going to begin shaking their heads while reading the piece thinking, "that poor hooker! Now what will he or she or h/she do to pay the rent? It's just terrible that they can no longer get paid to fuck!"

Yeah, I don’t see it coming back.

Sure hope they can bring back the CL M4M postings, it was a great way to meet guys. Quick, simple and to the point, none of that bullshit app back and forth nonsense.

R78 did you ask for pictures before you met up with them?

R79 they sent pics

Thank you R53. Doublelist appears fine. I miss Craigslist personals like hell, though.

why can't we agree on some type of Craigslist hookup code like an ad in the auto section that says something like "Looking for '69 Hardtop PT Cruiser to test drive,"

Grindr Is still my go-to for normal hookups because of the sheer number of choices. If I’m traveling and looking for efficient company, I typically attempt to find service on Grindr, but the pic requests get really old, really fast. Ocassionally, if the twink is hot enough, and close enough, and the terms are acceptable, I even comply and send a face pic.

Pros are never as hot as amateurs. But in the end, for full service providers, RM is still the best. Most gay Masseur websites will also get you a happy ending.

No one wants to surprised by a fug r83

If you showed your face, the requests for a face pic, which is entirely common and reasonable in 2018, would drop off exponentially.

r70

Which is why the price of housing is so expensive in places like SF. NIMBY liberals have legislated or zoned building opportunities out of existence.

You could also start your own personal ad site. Nothing says you can't run one, just that you have to be responsible about it. Now why don't you all use your massive brainpower to come up with a solution to that and then implement it.

Oooor, we could just start going - gasp! - OUTSIDE to find sex and romance.

Doublelist.com is now my go to for DL guys.

Yes but doesn’t it require a phone number ?

If any site requires a phone number, you can try a burner number. Although some services (like CL in the past and Google) block burner numbers from getting verification texts.

Anyone know when it’s coming back

It’s not coming back. Move on, tampon.

It needs to come back, it was a great service.

Doublelist has really blown up.

Doublelist is indeed coming along

I heard it wasn’t any good.

Well, try it for yourself R96, what can we tell you?

Doublelist is getting the same stupid posts as the old CL did. Hustlers, daddies, bag whores and super fatties posting the same thirsty ad 20 times a day.

I know.

yea doublelist is ok, but again whats with all the crossdressers? is this the new thing. ? do i blame caitlyn?

Those crossdressers pull some of the hottest men, though. I'm tempted to buy a wig and some panties just to see what I could do...

[quote] I'm tempted to buy a wig and some panties just to see what I could do...

Bitch please, you probably already have your matted ass wigs and tranny gear in your car trunk for when you go trolling for repressed closet cock in seedy areas.

I found my substitute for Love @ CL--using several categories--and BackPage (in several cities across several countries). I'm not getting anything for my efforts @ DoubleList--either placing ads or responding to them.

I've been getting some responses from BADOO, although its specialty seems to be bi-curious men (often with women partners or wives) looking to explore their sexuality in my home. Despite that, due to my all-on campaign, I've met one G4P chap there--exquisite 20-something straight Frenchman willing to sell himself quite reasonably--and have a few gay younger guys making dates.

I do miss BackPage, though.

I finally got a trick off that Doublelist site, but it did take about 2 weeks. Sure wish Craigslist would come back, my sex life is dying.

To [R71]:

Which one? San Diego used to have 4 bathhouses.

Now, alas, only one.

You can use Gmail without a burner number. All you have to do is create a fake profile for someone who's 13 so just fill it out like that and you won't have to verify with a phone. I have several Gmail accounts like that.

You can change later your Gmail to your real age once you create the account.

R103 - what CL categories? Doublelist is picking up finally. I hate having to give a phone number though. Spam calls have increased three fold since I signed up. But the straight guys are finding their way there finally.

Still missing Craigslist M4M and all that easy delivery cock. Was just so easy to get guys to come over late at night for a fun hook up.

doublelist, dumbasses.

Oh please, the Pollyanna Prudes in this thread are making me crack up. People have been "hooking up", selling sex, etc. since the beginning of time. Even if all the apps were banned somehow, it wouldn't stop people - cruising would just return. Might be a good thing, it would force people to actually communicate verbally and non-verbally if they want sex.

As far as Craigslist, the horny have now moved to posting sneakily worded ads in Missed Connections and Activity Partners (e.g., "Looking for someone into woodworking").

I tried looking at Doublelist here in Chicago and it was almost pointless. When Chicago M4M was around there were hundreds of ads a day from guys in Chicago, and you could even narrow down the neighborhoods. The listings on Doublelist seem like they are mostly from the burbs and the listings are kind of sparse.

post an ad lameass, and see what happens.

[quote] Tap your foot at the JCPenney stalls like everyone else, Mary!

I feel attacked!

I had a few hookups after the CL shutdown by posting something in Missed Connections.

I like older men so I'd say something like "To the handsome professional daddy in his car at X spot, I could see what you were up to inside and wow, that looked like a handful!" And so on. It worked two or three times but the effort was way too much for return, overall.

bunch of bottoms that don't want to douche and eat fiber rather than try doublelist.
