The 100 post reply test - w4m - 99

So i am guy who tested out these posts to see if they are real. I have replied to 100 posts in Casual Encounters. I wanted to see how many were fake or not. Now, there might be some who are not fake but decided not to reply and not sure what percentage that would be.

Here are the results.
- 100 post replied
- 81 responses
- 4 seems to be legitimate (or person at least): 1 successful online conversation / 3 email conversation (2 dudes)
- 58 immediate (with in 2 hours) automatic fake responses (porn sites)
- 19 delayed responses: the fake sites are getting smarter, they are sending out reply after a day
- 19 non-reply (i even got rejected from porn sites!!)

---

Now, the porn spammers are moving in to Woman + Man section
I noticed that every 5th one seems to be fake.

How to spot a fake (generally speaking).
- the whole post is one giant paragraph
- girl who lists her measurements (but height)
- posting their pic (unless they are nuts or first timers on CL)
- subject line age does not match age listed in details
- the obvious location duplication or wrong location (wrong state!)
- posting timecode "meet up after 8pm" when the posting is at midnight
- saying the same old thing: sweet guy, hot chick, need sex now, nothing original

there are more but i cant remember them all.

Agreed, the casual encounters section is laughable. I find it hard to believe that anyone on there is anywhere close to whom they proport to be. :rolleyes:

The erotic section isn't much better although I'm lucky and do generate an awful lot of business through there but then again... I'm no WOT ;) :D

CL #7 site in the world for traffic, I read on PERB somewhere

CL can't possibly be a waste of time, I mean you read it and quoted from the site, didn't you?:rolleyes:
Now's not the time to be judging those that work the industry that advertise on CL. :mad:
Admittedly, I once felt that was the place for desperate, cheap SPs because it's free.:eek: But then again I'm one of the cheapest or disgraceful depending on who you ask SPs here in Vancouver.
But as long as you, the SP, make mention of how and what kind of clients you want to attract, you will get it. Posting your rates and pics is a start.;)

You guys are dumb. You are only making CL more crowded.

Let the stuck up chicks think they are better for not advertising there and laugh all the way to the bank.

There is a lots of BS on Craigslist but I have experienced good success there . I just try to ingore the obvious SPAM and I laugh at all the petty bullshit. There is always someone who resorts to childish behaviour or someone preaching their self-important agenda.

No competition, folks

Telling the competition about trade secrets is like throughing money out the window.

But these chicks work with their pussies, not with their brains
We're brainy enough to entice you to indulge in our services.
yes they are "throughing" money......you said something about brains?
Ha ha:D No kiddin', eh?

He hasn't figured out that SPs are like snowflakes, no two are alike.

Funny, I've had some decent success on CL's casual encounters section. Of course, most are obvious fakes. If you follow the rules listed by the "researcher" you can find some legitimate finds.

Found one really nice girl through there. Beautiful girl...wow, still thinking about her in my bedroom....

Met another couple that ended up being a bit larger than I prefer.

Now seeing another girl I met on there. Figure skater, nice find there too :)

It really depends on how you respond to a lot of the ads on there. Respond with a decent, personalized response, send a good picture and, if it's real, they'll respond.

I usually send an "head cut off" picture from an email address that I expect spam at. That cuts out a lot of the hassle.
