Not so. CL like any site where we hawk or wares involves LE, creeps and sifting through bullshit *****s but I find if you word your Ad properly you will get good responses. I do post there though not often and do get very nice clients from there,
I agree w/ Blondekelly. All of the CL clients I have met were great. Granted, I have chosen not to take some clients because of THEIR attitude (didn't answer the door for other providers I know, poor attitudes, wanting to bargain, etc.). I understand both of our experiences are subjective, but I would assume it's the most common experience among providers who post on CL. Afterall, there are more FREE sites to use if CL hobbyists were just looking at pics and moving on to the next ad...
As Monk stated, CL is "FREE" in terms of what CL is charging to post. I used to purposely spam on CL because if I didn't, by the time I returned from a client, my ad would be deleted. After all the time I wasted posting the ad, it would be "flagged for removal" within minutes. That's what happens when anyone can "flag" anything. After months of the same thing, I decided to try other alternatives (free and otherwise) because paying $20/mo. could save/earn alot more ultimately. I believe CL is a great site for those searching for good s and services, but for providers not so much. AND...it's becoming more provider "unfriendly" by the day.
Finally ..................being new to message boards, I'm shocked to see some of the comments guys have left about the girls on CL. I feel the ad is independent of the actual provider. I've found that both a combination of the "slutty" and "sophisticated" ads/pics work for me. I target my ads for my particular audience...."marketing". If she posted the ad, it's probably because she thought someone just like YOU would read it (considering you did CLICK on it)....so, to judge a provider by her ad is a little hypocritical. I personally know that the words on my ad are no more indicative of my intentions or capablities than anything else (pics, prices, location, etc.) I've exhausted my "bang my ______" ads, and they do recieve the highest responses IMO.
