How to respond to a Craig's List ad


It is time for a follow up post to my award winning post on "How to write a Personals ad?". 

Frustrated because no one replied when you responded to their ad? Tired of the back and forth e-mails? Try these tips when you respond to a Craig's List Personals ad.

- Read the ad completely before responding.
- Responses with something like "Sup", "Still looking", or "Liked your ad" will get you ignored. Why would they even respond?
- If you are not what the person is looking for, don't respond. For example, if the ad says "No one over 30', don't respond if you are 31.
- Include your stats including height, weight, age, and ethnicity.
- If it is a hookup ad, include a little about what you are in to.
- Send clear/decent pics. YOU are responding to THEIR ad. Send your pic. If you don't trade pics or face pics, say that up front.
- Let them know if you can host and when.
- Tell the person what you want to happen next... Meetup? Coffee? More info? Blow in the bowling alley bathroom?
