Craig's List Mysteries


A friend of mine helped me put this together.  He had been checking out the Craig's scene for a few months. Some guys need a refresher in human interaction and need to understand how to be successful at Craig's dating, hookups, and the like.

"Just Dating" That is cool. Say so up front and stick to it. Don't send your naked pictures if you say you just want to go on a date.

"Your stats" This means at a minimum your height, weight, ethnicity, and age. Some people also include their dick size and if they are height/weight proportional. (HWP) Guys that leave these things out are leaving them out for a reason.

"What are you in to" Unless your ad is for strictly dating this is asking are you in to sexually such as oral, porn, verbal, jacking off, topping, bottoming, versatile, groups, etc..

"Pictures". Basic etiquette. Don't ask for something you have not sent. If you are responding to an ad, at LEAST send a body picture of YOURSELF, though guys are usually expecting your face picture. If you are responding to someone elses' ad, don't ask for his face picture unless you have sent one. You want face pictures first, post your own ad. If you don't send out face pictures at all, then state that up front. Some guys don't and some guys will meet up without one. But don't be surprised if I don't want to meet up with you.

"Face" pictures that are taken from 100 feet away or that are blurry or obscured are usually that way for a reason. Someone is trying to hide the fact that they are telling you they are 32y/o and they are really 52y/o.

"One liners" So, you send me a respond that just says "sup" or "still looking". Unless I'm incredibly bored, the "delete" button is easier to click than to respond to your lame ass. Ask yourself, why would YOU respond to a message like that?

"Cheaters". Cheating on your BF or GF. That is between you and your other half. But, don't lie to me and let me think you are single. And, if your other half is jealous or suspicious, don't leave my address or phone number laying around. And delete your damn text messages to me.

Fakes: First, I have met some hot guys on Craigs. Yes, there are some real guys out there. I have also been stood up 3 times and met guys that were 15 years older than their pictures look. I tend to like older guys so that is not a bad thing but the fact that you are dishonest up front means you are not getting a call back. I have had back and forth emails with guys that ask for more and more pictures and ask for dirty talk via email but they refuse to send their pics even after demanding multiple pictures from me. Those guys don't just get the "Delete" button but they get the "Junk Mail" button.

NSA is just that. "No Strings Attached" sex. It does not mean coffee, drinks, dinner, hanging around or driving around in my car. Don't contact someone for NSA sex and then ask to meet somewhere for drinks first. That is a date.

State What You Want and When: And say it it up front. We are all grown men here. Don't tell me you are ready to get together only to find after we have exchanged pics and numbers to find out that you don't get off until 5hours from now.

Hosting: If you can host safely, then do say so. But, if you want me to sneak in or climb in a freaking window, say so. I'll say no, but at least let me know. Don't let your horniness get the better of your judgement. I don't ever want to get caught with someone face down over their couch with me pounding them and have their roommate coming walking through the door with 2 of his friends. (Yes, it really happened and no, the friends were not turned on, and, no, they did NOT join in.)

Looking for something better: Don't lead me on for 2hours just because you are hoping something better will come along. You may think you are being coy when you keep making excuses but you are just being evasive and it is obvious.

HIV Negative As of September 30th. Seriously? That is not safe sex, that is limited containment after the fact. The HIV virus can remain undetectable for 3-months in some cases.

Sexual exploits and who is doing whom: Come on guys, try to keep some things private.
