Internet hookups

I had posted this message to another thread, but realized it might be better as a thread of its own --

 

This was in response to:

 

Now we only have like a gillion websites left to find love in all the wrong places.....

 

Can I ask, actually, what other sites guys are using these days (hookup/dating type sites perhaps more than escort sites, though that's ok too)? I'm on Manhunt and Silverdaddies, though both feel rather limited to me in terms of available guys/responses etc. I'm depressed about Craigslist being gone, because I really liked how that particular personal ad message system worked, and I don't know offhand of other sites that work in a similar way. For the last several years, I've found that CL was may main source for hookups, and RM my main source for hiring. CL personals shutting down is a shock in general, but it's also weird for me just because I got so used to it and kinda miss it, lol.

 

I'm not on Adam4Adam or some of the other app-related sites (Grindr, Scruff, etc) - are those any better than the others?

 

Are there any other decent "message board" formatted sites like Cragislist was?

 

Not to say, of course, that none of us can predict yet what will get shut down or blocked...I'm hoping that the majority of the "dating" sites won't be affected, but who knows?

 

Funny - I used to hookup using the old phone lines before I moved to the internet - I know there are still some phone lines around - I wonder if some of us will find ourselves going back to those?

 

It's very strange to feel that all of a sudden this whole internet hookup world may disappear. I can't believe it ALL will, but it's the fear of the unknown that's hitting me right now.

Some of my best hookups were from CL. Be aware that if you had a recent good hookup that you can still send an email to the person for a limited time until CL retires the relay.

Yup. Which is why I now ask for a email during early contact.

Bump for a post-CL world

I do international a lot so I'm gathering WhatsApp numbers fast as I can. Get a 4 or 5 year supply.
