Craigslist Casual Encounters

Diana's Craigslist Horror Story

2012-04-12T14:20:00.000-07:00

I want to thank Diana for sending us her personal experience with craigslist casual encounters. It came at a time when I really needed a good laugh. So thanks Diana! There's some really good advice at the end from a women's perspective, so guys, pay attention here! Here it is. Diana's Craigslist Nightmare.

A woman writes in! I stumbled upon your site after googling that exact title, because I wanted to know if anyone had any horror stories to share, like myself.

In my late 20's during a dry spell I decided to check out the casual encounters ads. In the M4W section it was just too much, too much all caps, too many dirty pics, everyone sounded like a caveman! So I decided to post an ad myself. I was honest, described myself (a bit chubby) and got a shit tonne of responses. It went well - after the initial holy crap of deluge of replies, I found one that I thought was okay and after a few weeks (yes I know) of back and forth we had a few hot meetups. I got high from all the responses - it made me feel wanted! - and I had a great arsenal of attractive face shots for guys whose replies I was interested in, and body shots for subsequent discussions with those guys about what I wanted to do - so I decided to post again. What I didn't consider is the fact that some respondents would be liars.

So I start talking to a bunch of respondents and one says he's tall, built, big tool, yadda yadda, and sent pics that made him look pretty hot, but not unreasonably hot. I give him my pics... and my naughty pics.. and we talk dirty. I get worked up thinking about meeting up and offer to call him for some actual dirty talk on the phone and to arrange our meetup. I call him and as its ringing he msns me to say "don't be shocked, altho Im from Texas I have more of an asian accent bc my mom is chinese". WTF? Then he answers.. and he is not a 28 year old Texan but from the sounds of it, a creepy old Indian man! I hung up right away and then before i could even exit msn he starts messaging me creepy stuff about how I sound really young and what am I afraid of and can he take pics of me while we're going it at! I am completely creeped out and worry that I would never be able to get turned on again!! Thank goodness we never met.

I have to interrupt you here Diana. This guy's the first thing that came to mind when I was reading your story. This blog post has really made my night!

Other funny stories from the guys I met up with -

- a guy who just wanted a BJ and came all but a minute in to it. I laughed and as a result didn't get any action back from him myself

- the guy who I'm pretty sure is gay. He complimented my curtains in my apartment, said he couldn't wait to redecorate his new place, had ZERO interest in my boobs (and mine are fantastic!) and did not want me to give him any oral pleasure. It was fun but not great.

You'd think that all this would have deterred me from going that way again but every now and again I post. Sometimes I find a good guy to meetup with, sometimes I just enjoy the ego boost but don't find anyone I want to meet with, sometimes I get flagged and removed before I even get 100 responses. Every guy I ended up meeting up with ended up being true to his word, I guess I learned how to screen properly!

Tips for guys responding to ads?

- Dont send a cock shot. Unless all you need to get off is the thought of a woman looking at the pic you sent.

- If she sounds too good to be true, she probably is. Women rarely want to meet that day without doing their due diligence on you, unless they want money or are men. Most women will want to talk a bit and confirm you are who you are before wanting to meet up.

- Don't call her by the name on her email, it probably isn't real.

- If you send a pic and get silence in return (more than a few days without a response) don't follow up. If she wants you she'll respond.

- If she asks for a certain type (over a certain height, certain body type, certain race) don't throw your hat in the ring if you don't fit the criteria. Esp if you dont have a pic. Those are just annoying.

- Don't send cock shots! Ugh. I love cock but we need context when it comes to cock.

Follow up on our experiment

2012-04-12T14:01:00.000-07:00

Although I said I'd be posting results from my little experiment. It turns out it's gotten a lot harder to post in the w4m section. After going through the whole phone verification process I finally got one of my posts up. Problem is, it didn't last long enough to get a good amount of replies. I got flagged. Constantly. Every time I posted. There they were. Those annoying flaggers! I'll be posting again this week in hopes of my ad staying up long enough to get some good material to share with you all. We'll get back to this soon. In the meantime let's get back to our horror stories.

Peter's Craigslist Horror Story. Why me he said.

2011-11-01T03:16:00.000-07:00

My apologies for being away for a few weeks but I had a close friend of mine pass away. It took me while to get over it but I'm slowly trying to move on.

I'll get to all your emails starting with Peter's since it's Halloween and it's got something to do with costumes.

Peter's craigslist horror story goes something like this.

Pete's a Canadian boy. He lives in Scarborough Ontario. It's a city near Toronto. When Peter first discovered the bottomless pit of women seeking casual encounters which is Craigslist, he thought to Himself; "Wow! I unlocked the door to unlimited females." Now all he has to do is pick one.

Browsing the ads, one jumped up at him.

w4m - Need a date for costume party - 26yrs - Scarborough

"Seeking someone to come with me to a costume party. I'll be going as Wonder Woman and would like you to dress up as Superman. It's also a huge turn on for me, I've always wanted to please Superman. Get back to me. The party is tonight so we don't have much time."

So Pete replied to this message telling her how interested he was and that there was a costume store nearby. He'd be able to get a costume in time and he'd pick her up for the party.

The girl's name here is Cassandra. She agreed to go to the party with him. They arranged a time to meet and a place.

Pete got his costume and looked great! He had the hair looking like Superman's and everything. He's also pretty buff which made the whole costume look even more authentic.

So Superman picked up Wonder Woman and off they went to the party! She looked fabulous. Had a great pair of legs, pretty attractive from what he can see and had a "wonder"ful butt.

The drive he told me was pretty normal. They were a little shy around each other and didn't say much in the car. Other than her giving him directions to the location it was kind of tense.

When they got to the party it was pretty intense. There were half naked women there, men in g-strings and people groping each other pretty much everywhere.

"My Kind of Party Pete thought to himself"

You lucky boy Peter! Craigslist really delivered on this one. Booze, drugs, hot women ... what more can he ask for!

After a few drinks, Cassandra started to open up to him. She was all over Pete. She started kissing him, touching him, rubbing him, she couldn't keep her hands off Superman.

"Let's go somewhere more private" She said

"Sure, right behind you"

She led him to the washroom where they'd be alone.

Wonder Woman pushed him up against the wall and pulled down his pants. She looked up at him, smiled and went to work.

He claimed that this was one of the best Bjobs he's ever gotten. Pete got really excited and wanted more..

He tried to take off her shirt, but she pushed his hands away and continued to do her thing. He tried to pull down her undies , but she stopped him, and continued on her path of pleasuring him orally.

Pete kept trying to take her clothes off and she continually refused him. But Pete's not a man that gives up easily. He persisted and fought and finally Cassandra said to him;

"Look! Stop what you're doing because you might not like what you see!!"

" What do you mean? "

"Just take my word for it and enjoy what I'm doing"

Pete's a curious man and wanted to get in her pants so badly that he though to himself, how bad can it be.. she's hairy? She's got weird looking lips.. a big clit.. what? whatever at this point he really doesn't care. .

"Don't worry, I'm very open minded and don't have any hangups"

"Really? That's great!! I'm so glad !"

I'm guessing most of you figured out what's going on here. But in Pete's defense, his mind was a little cloudy at the time.

She pulled down her skirt and underwear and revealed her 9 inch killer. She told him how badly she wanted to get the favor returned and pushed his head toward this monster.

"It all happened so fast he wrote in his email to me. "

He put it in his mouth for a second, which seemed like a lifetime to him at the time, and then came to his senses and jumped up. He ran out of there so fast he forgot to put his pants back on. He drove home wearing nothing but his shirt and Superman cape.

Good thing you weren't pulled over by the boys in blue. Try explaining that one to the judge. Drunk, and wearing nothing but a cape in the middle of the night.

He got home and took a nice bath, relaxed and thought about what had happened. Here's my favorite part of his email.

This happened about 2 years ago. I've thought about it a lot and have since been really turned on by shemales. I watch videos, look at photos and have to admit I'm infatuated by these beauties. And man was Cassandra hot! I really regret not going further with her that night. I tried emailing her but never get any replies. Can you help me find her?

Pete my boy unfortunately I am not affiliated in any way with Craigslist and can't help you. Unless she's reading this and wants to give you a second chance, I can't do much. I will however email you a link where there's tons of shemales looking to meet men. That's all I can do. Or try posting under m4t on craigslist. She might still be on Craigslist .. although after the way you treated her, I seriously doubt it.

I guess it all depends on how you look at this. Some of you might see this as a Craigslist horror story, and some of you might see this differently. I don't know. I guess we'd have to be in that exact situation to know how we'd react. I'm sure Pete will get a second chance at this sometime. And when you do, don't forget to tell us what happens Pete!

Update! Pete I received this photo of a woman claiming to be Cassandra. I've found her. You're welcome buddy! Is this her?

Just screwing with you Pete!

You blew it!

See you all soon!

Unbelievable Craigslist Casual Encounter

2011-09-01T17:18:00.000-07:00

Dear Sam. Please post this article in order to help others avoid what I went through using the Craigslist casual encounters. Thank you. "James"

Is what he told me... I agreed to post it even though I don't think many people would actually fall for this one (No offense James!). But I believe, or I'd like to believe, that most people would see right through this scam.
Here it is! James' Craigslist horror story. Oh man!

James is from Texas. (I can't help putting ol' George W's face on this one) Just makes it a little more humorous to me I guess. But this is nothing to laugh at!) It's just the image that came to me when I was reading the post that's all. My apologies to all Bush supporters.

So it's a Saturday afternoon and James is home alone. James is 46 years old and he lives with his sister and his mother. They're away for the weekend and he decides he'd like to get some action while he's got the house to himself.

So he does his local search on Craigslist. Now James is a little picky from what he told me and only searches the ads with pictures. (You ever notice how these are the ones that appear the spammiest?)

Here's the one that caught his attention.

18 year old virgin

Hi guys! I'm 18 and I''m looking to lose my virginity tonight to an older man. Here is a picture of what I look like. If you like what you see, please reply.

Okay ... I know what you're all thinking! But not everyone has seen the Harry Potter films. Let's give poor James a break. He's been through quite an ordeal.

Let's move on.

So he's interested in this ad. And replies

Hi I think you're very beautiful and would love to be the man you lose your virginity to. So what else can you tell me about yourself?

Thanks! Well, I'm 18, my name is Emma (I shit you not this is what she told him her name was)
I like staying at home, watching movies and cuddling.

Now James figured he's got the house to himself and it was a wonderful opportunity for them to watch a movie, cuddle and, of course, take this lovely eighteen year old's virginity. After a couple of emails back and forth they arranged to meet.

It's all set up! Emma is going to spend the night at James' house. He gives her his phone number in case she gets lost or whatever.

A few minutes later Emma calls him.
Hi hun it's Emma. I should be there in about 45 minutes. Can't wait to meet!
Great! I'll be waiting for you!

So now James does what most men would do when expecting a woman. This is what he told me "So I cleaned up the house real quick, hid all my porn magazines under the couch and sprayed some perfume on my dick so it'd smell real nice for her" James we'll discuss this one in private buddy. I sent you an email. Please read it! Moving on.

About 10 minutes later the phone rings.

Hi baby! I don't know how to tell you this but I just got in my car and noticed I'm all out of gas. I don't have much money since I'm a full time student and don't work. Would it be possible for you to send me 30 bucks or something like that?
Umm.. How am I supposed to do that? Why don't you just take a cab and I'll pay for it when you get here.
No I can't do that. I'm scared to take a cab. If it's a problem never mind I'll just stay home. I thought you were nice enough to help me get there. Never mind.
No no no it's no problem. How do I send you the money though?
You do have a paypal account don't you? Well mine is linked to a card I have and I can withdraw it and I'll be on my way.
Alright not a problem.

LUCKILY James HAS a paypal account and he's got quite a bit of dough in there from some past ebay sales. Pheeww..

He sends her the 30$ and she's now on her way.
RING RING.. (20 minutes later)

Hi handsome! You won't believe what happened to me! I just got to the gas station and I'm having car trouble. The good news is the fellow that works here says he can fix it in 20 minutes but needs 120$ for the part. Should we just call it a night and forget this whole thing?
NO No! Let me just send you the 120$ you need to fix the car. I can't leave you stranded there.
You're so sweet! I promise to repay you later! You won't regret this!

Come on James! Are you kidding me? At this point hasn't anything crossed your mind??
I guess not because there's more. Keep reading.

An hour later

RIINGG!!!

Hi James! I'm on my way. I was wondering. Do you have any alcohol there?
Sure.
What about Johnnie Walker Blue Label? It's the only thing I drink and there's a special on King George V edition. It's only going for 300$. When I drink JWB it makes me sooooo horny... Should I pick us up a bottle or is it too much money? You're not cheap James are you?
Of course not. I'll send you the money.
Oh you're the best! You know what James? I'm a little wet just thinking about losing my virginity to you tonight. I can't wait!

Oh man it's painful to write this as I'm sure it's painful for you all to read it. The sad part is there's more. Really. It gets worse. I don't know exactly what was going through his mind at the time. But a stunning 18 year old virgin has the ability to make us do whatever it is she wants us to do (I'm trying as hard as I can to defend you here James)

Ring ring ring

Is this James? (A man's voice)
This is James!
We have your girlfriend here and if you ever want to see her you'll have to give us five thousand dollars! She says you have a way to send it to her?
(The skank in the background) James please help me!
Don't call the police or we'll kill her. Send us the money and we'll let her go.
I don't have that kind of money.
Well how much can you send us?
I can send you 500$ I don't have anything else.
Okay send it to her now and we'll let her go.

So our brilliant and caring friend James sends the 500$.
A few minutes later the phone rings again

Oh honey it was so scary they were going to kill me. You saved my life. I'm so scared right now. I won't be able to come over in this condition. I'm going to my mother's house and I'll call you tomorrow so we can arrange to meet some other time! Sorry! click

That's the last he heard from Emma. He told his friend what happened to him and his friend pointed out how he was scammed. He never did figure this one out on his own.

I guess the lesson here.. is that .. I don't know... the truth is I don't know anybody that would ever fall for anything like this. Oh wait I got one! The lesson here is that even when we hear a woman's voice on the phone we should still be cautious. Men are not the only ones in the E-Whoring business.

My advice to you James is to maybe make some sort of police report or try to get paypal to trace the transactions or something. I'm no expert on how this stuff works but it's worth a try. But unfortunately before the trap is set, their tracks are usually covered.

I know I was a little hard on you in my post James but you have to understand how ridiculous this is. I'm sure even "Emma" couldn't believe it every time you transferred those funds. I'm surprised she didn't keep this going and she stopped contacting you. You were like an ATM sent from heaven. Good luck to you in the future my friend and beware! Things aren't always what they seem to be.

An Alabama Man's Craigslist Catastrophe

2011-08-29T15:25:00.000-07:00

Okay I don't know if this one is true or not but I'm going to post it anyway. It was sent to me by "Rick".
It might be true and it might not. He assured me that it was true. I simply have to post it though.

This happened about a year ago. Here it is.

Rick is forty years old, he's divorced and has two daughters. He never remarried. He had a girlfriend a couple years ago but has been single ever since he caught her cheating on him and broke it off.

So one night, Rick was surfing the internet. He was doing what most men do online at 3am. Surfing for porn. A couple hours went by (Time flies) and he did what anybody would do after a couple hours of adult entertainment. He went to his local Casual Encounters section on craigslist.

He replies to every w4m ad he can find. Even the ones that go back a few days. (Hey you never know!) Now he waits. . . . . . . . . No reply. Well he got a couple of replies but those were nothing but spam messages. Sign up here and there and win this and that.

Rick was starting to give up. He was ready to give up and take matters into his own hands ;)
And then it happened.

20 year old hotty in need of 200 roses

Click! Let's check it out.

I'm available right now for your pleasure. Will spend the whole night with you and do whatever it is that turns you on. All I ask in return is 200 roses to help pay for my rent.

Now Rick's a nice guy and loves helping others in need so he replies.

Rick writes: Hi I'd love to help you out. I'm willing to meet up right now if you'd like. I can pay the two hundred. No problem!

She replies: That's great! I don't normally do this sort of thing but I'm having a bit of a hard time paying the bills this month. I'm single, I go to University, my mom's an alcoholic, my dad's a deadbeat, I don't have any help from anyone blah blah blah (You know the story) I'll be at X hotel in room X. You'll have to give me an extra 40 for the room is that okay? Can you send me a picture?

Rick: Sure! Not a problem. Click... a picture of his gear and his bare chest. I'll be there in 30 minutes!

She Replies: MmMmmm.. Nice cock! I can't wait for you to get here. I'm so wet!

So Rick gets dressed and he's on his way! Oh man! twenty year old booty... this is going to be great!

Anybody know where this is going??? Now Rick's made a few mistakes here. No pictures. No phone call. Nothing. No verification whatsoever.

To make a long story short Rick got in his car and drove to the Hotel. Guess what! There WAS a woman there! Surprisingly enough! Now here's the sad part. RICK was the deadbeat dad the girl was talking about. The girl he sent pictures of his dick to and was going to meet was his daughter. So sad :(

The part that made me laugh the most was when I asked him what he did when she opened the door. This was his reply.

"Well, what do ya mean? Did I fuck her? Hell no! That's my baby girl. You twisted or sumthin?"

I decided to just leave it at that.

Another Craigslist Horror Story

2011-08-15T16:14:00.000-07:00

I got a message from someone telling me about his nightmare with craigslist's casual encounters. He gave me his ok to post it here. Obviously he asked me not to post his email address or his name so we'll just call him Pete.

Pete was browsing the casual encounters on Craigslist one night and he came accross an ad that caught his attention.
Sexy 19 year old looking for exciting night

Who's not interested in a 19 year old that's looking for excitement right? So he replied with his photo and a few details about himself and waited. A couple minutes later he got this reply in his inbox.

"Hi There Pete! Loved your photo. Here's a few more of me. (photos attached). I'm the kind of girl that loves to be wined and dined. I like fancy restaurants and fancy hotels. I like expensive cars, well dressed men and expensive Champagne. Can you provide me with all this? If so, we'll have a great time tonight. Let me know and I'll tell you where to pick me up from."

Pete's pretty well off. He's got a luxury car, a great job and lots of money. He doesn't care about the fact that this chick is shallow and is after money. All he wants is to get in her pants at the end of the night. He'll take her somewhere nice, spend some money, buy some expensive champagne and off to the nearest 5 star hotel. The photos she sent this time are sizzling hot! You see, men sometimes think with their little "head". I'm sure a lot of you reading this can already see where this is going.

She found her man! Pete's loaded. So after a couple of emails back and forth she tells him.

"Great Pete. So I'll be ready at 11. Pick me up here (address provided) .

He takes a shower, does a little gardenwork down there, shaves, puts on his best suit, splashes on some cologne and off he goes to pick up his little 19 year old bombshell.

To make a long story short, Pete finally got to their meeting spot. It was in the worst part of town. He looked around and started to get a little worried. It was so quiet and eerie that it sent chills down his spine. It was too late. By the time he realized what was going on, 4 rather large fellows escorted him out of his car. Emptied his pockets, took his jewelry, his money, his phone and his bank cards. Pete, scared for his life, gave them pin numbers to all his cards. One of the dudes went to the bank while the other 3 waited with Pete. (I wonder what the conversation was like while they were waiting).

Here¨s my favorite part. They also took his car. They gave him 20$ to take a cab home. Pretty thoughtful on their part. When Pete told them that he lived 30 miles away and it wouldn¨t be enough to get him home the guy replied.
You ungrateful piece of sh*t. We¨re nice enough to give you cabfare and you have the nerve to ask us for more?? Do you know how difficult it was for us to plan all this? We worked for this money!!

They roughed him up a little, took back the twenty bucks and left.

I asked him what happened afterwards. He didn't want to get into too much detail but he told me this. He got his car back and he didn't lose too much money because of the daily limits on his cards. All in all he was out about 400$ cash, a couple thousand from his cards and about a grand in jewelry. They never caught the gents that did this to him.

You'd think that the police would be able to trace these guys. I don't know. Maybe they've got some hacker type dude doing the computer stuff and covering their tracks. Who knows how they get away with stuff like this.

The lesson here is that woman aren't the only ones that need to be careful when it comes to online encounters. Men need to do the same. Ask for ID. Get a phone number you can trace. Meet somewhere very public. And in the back of your mind, keep poor Pete's adventure and always be extra careful when going to meet someone you don't know anything about.

Pete! I feel for you dude! But at the end of the day, when you told me that they didn't take much from you (something like 3500$) , I stopped feeling sorry for you and started feeling sorry for myself! If I was out 3500 ... well, I don't have 3500$...

Craigslist Encounters

2011-07-24T17:13:00.000-07:00

Remember the first time you ever visited the casual encounters section? The excitement! So many ads! It seemed so simple.

You figured you'd read the ads and pick out the one that caught your attention. You replied. Nothing.

Then you said, let me try replying to a whole bunch of them. You replied. Your Inbox filled up with spam.

Then you tried posting an ad of your own. 31 year old single male seeking female companion. Remember that? You put up your favorite picture of yourself, wrote something clever, specified NO SPAM. (Thinking that would discourage the spammers). And waited. . . remember how the only real person that was interested was a dude? ? I remember getting so frustrated that I actually sat there and considered it. Honestly, I sat there and said What the Hell! I didn't actually do it but I considered it. Of course I ended up on youporn or some site like that and got through the night.

My most memorable experience with craigslist's casual encounter section has to be this one.

I replied to an ad that seemed pretty genuine. She replied back. After exchanging photos and showing mutual interest, I asked her to talk a little on msn before actually meeting up. She accepted. We spoke for about 2 minutes on cam and arranged to meet up at a local bar that night. She told me to meet her at about 11pm. She pointed out that she might be a little late but to not worry. She was definately coming and that she couldn't wait to meet me.

When I got to the bar, I sat down, ordered a drink and waited. After about 15 minutes I ordered a second drink. Another 15 minutes went by and I of course ordered a 3rd drink. I looked around and noticed about 20 men sitting by themselves. They were all looking at their watches and looking towards the door as if they were waiting for someone. I got suspicious. I asked one of the patrons if he was waiting for someone. Of course he was waiting for the same girl I was waiting for. The guy to my left overheard our conversation and told us he was waiting for her too. We went around asking everyone if they were waiting for a Cassandra. Almost every customer in there was waiting for her. Feeling a little ashamed and angered, because we felt as if they tricked us into going there in order to get our money or for publicity or whatever their reason was, we got up and took off without paying our bill. I remember this one guy sat there and said "I'm not leaving, she's hot, she's definately worth the wait." I got a good laugh but felt kinda bad for the guy.

I went home and of course she had blocked me from her msn.

The sad truth that I've come to understand is that any free dating site or classified section is a haven for scammers and spammers.

Post something that's happened to you while visiting the famous Craigslist casual encounter section. Don't feel silly. It's probably happened to another few hundred people. It feels good to get it off our chest :)
