"Rules to survive by using Craigslist"
 
LAST EDITED ON 28-Aug-09 AT 00:02 AM (PST)
 
What are the rules to survive by using craigslist? As far as not getting robbed or getting caught in a police sting? Better to do in-call or outcall? What are the good signs or warnings? The do's and the don't?
Also what is it with Asian women they always have their face covered and it seems to be they are always affiliated with a massage parlor priced from $140 to $160 per hour? Are they giving you a real massage or a happy ending for that price?

Buy an RB VIP membership and do your research. It costs alot less than 1 bad experience.

Definitely.

Plus, now there's the added "bonus" that RB has been overrun by CL refugees, so apart from the VIP angle it's hard to tell the difference any more.

A lot of times I haven't even been able to find any reviews for a provider on CL, or there is just one review with very high ratings. In either case it raises a red flag. Avoid.

   There are only two rules.

1. Don't waste your time using CL.
2. See rule number one.

Personally, within a couple of months of discovering RB, my rule has pretty much been governed by the attitude, "wtf bother with craigslist when RB pretty much has all I want (and frankly, more than I can handle!)"

Seriously, I find it a pertinent question: "why bother using craigslist, RB brothers?" I'd be curious if there's some elusive value out there that I'm missing.

Before the crackdown last year I used to meet some very nice ladies on CL who would do more for less. Some were serious knockouts. I think the likelihood of finding a true non-pro was also higher, as there was no research required to learn of CL.

Yes I agree why do the asian girls hide their faces? Is it because the majority of them are working in massage parlors?

   because the are not the pictures of the girls. They are stock pics, cropped to hide the face. At least I have never found it so and I have frequented more than a few.

The only thing that CL has going for itself is that once in a while you can find an "amateur" there. Over the past two weeks, I found two ladies that were offering their services to make ends meet at $100 a session. But I must admit, these are exceptions, not the rule.

Is that session for 1 hour? Most of the girls rates on CL are $200 an hour. They have lower rates for 15 minutes and 30 minutes but that isn't enough time.

Aren't street walkers prices more reasonable but puts you at more risk?

   Mostly they dont quote prices on CL any more. I find the default is $200 per hour, $100-120 for the half, and $60-80 for 15 minutes. Many many girls advertise half hour for 100. If you ask, can you do a half for 100 they usually say yes. As for the time, if you are seeing a non-reviewed provider, you want to limit your exposure up front. You can only lose the 100 that you have given up front. You can always ask to extend the session if you are into it and really do want more time. Of course, once youve seen them once, then you know the deal...


It's only a game...

Looks like average is 200 an hour and up. The Asian massage parlors are at the 160 hour rate. It would seem alot safer at the AMP from ROBS and LE.

Man, those were the days. No better place to get an innocent 20 year old to drop panties for 0.4 without having to charm her too much. The only place you might find that now is in the casuals section, and you have to wade through a zillion porn ads to get to them.

   One interesting sidebar is that the CL listings for other countries weren't affected by the recent changes to the US based pages. For example, the section is still named "erotic" under services for all the Canadian cities and the pictures are still explicit.

I notice that they don't post the age of the girl like they did before when it was under Erotic title. Every other ad especially for asian girls appear to be a massage parlor ad and the girl is always hiding her face.

ROBs can game RB just like they can game CL if they are
new or visiting providers. With CL's new setup it makes it
easier ROBs and upsellers to operate because they no longer
provide prices and service list up front.

So if you decide to hobby using CL here's my advice:

1. Avoid those using obviously fake pics (except AAMPs which also
advertise on RB). Use Tineye if possible. If they don't show their
faces in the pics avoid .. stick-up kids looking to set you up for
a robbery or grab-and-go will not post their faces for cops to track.

2. Stick with the girls who have been around for a while. Somebody who
you see posting over a few weeks or visits every few weeks is more
likely to be legit and not a stick-up kid. Do a google search using
her phone number and her name (some change names frequently) but
most will keep the same phone number. If you see she has posted ads
in other forums and/or for other cities compare the ads to see if
photos are the same or totally different which indicates fakes.

3. Use their phone number to find reviews on RB and other popular
review sites. Most girls outside bayarea don't know about RB and
they will use CL when visiting. If they are legit they will most
likely have reviews on that other popular site from other cities
or their home base city.

4. Post to request for info in RB's 411 group. Lot of guys who use CL
don't write reviews but will respond to inquiries posted in that
forum.

5. If you decide to call the girl make sure you get the price
upfront. You can try to get service details upfront also but some
may think you are cop and refuse to discuss on phone.

6. When you go to see the girl if she is not the girl in pics leave.
If she tries to upsell leave. Nobody is forcing you to stay. If
she takes your money and later tries to upsell or not deliver on
promised services then let her know you will be writing a negative
review. And then later WRITE A REVIEW!!!

I simply avoid craiglist. It's far too risky.

I also don't see asian providers. I have just found them to be completely phony and not good fucks. Lack of emotion and engagement, too much complaining about the size of my cock, too much emphasis on massage, not enough real sucking and fucking. They are slender and pretty many of them and if they were up to par, I could cum 2-3 times within that hour, but they're just lacking.

There really are "NO" rules to survive craigslist. There is no accountability and no way to identify the numerous ROB's and providers who really shouldn't be in the business.

When it comes to CL.. the best thing to do is simply WALK AWAY
