craigslist.org dating tips online

So you want to date on craigslist.org personals section? It can be extremely competitive, but also extremely rewarding. Here are some tips that will help you succeed:

1.
Post your own ad instead of replying to others. This is a matter of numbers... if you have your own ad up there, you’ll get a way better result for the time you put it. Having people come to you is better than fighting the competition and replying to someone else’s ad. Also, the vast majority of people dating on Craigslist are browsing ads, not posting them, so by placing your own ad, you’ll tap into the main bulk of Craigslist daters.

2.
Have 4 photos, all of them good, all of them of you. You know that people reading Craigslist personals always skip down the listings to the posts with photos attached, right? If you don’t have a picture, don’t bother playing the game at all. Having said that, your picture must be of YOU... not a sunset, not a rose, not even a super close-up of your eye... these are just ways of cheating the reader, and people know it. If you really want to shine over the other posts, use four photos (the Craigslist max), make all of them of you, and all of them good (see my article on how to have good photos!)

3.
Don’t try to be cool and quirky. For some reason, people think posting quizzes, political views, and “10 weird things about me” is a great way to date on Craigslist. Don’t do this. Instead, be yourself and write a post that represents who you are and highlights the most attractive aspects of your life (ie. A dating profile). All the standard Online Casanova rules apply here: show don’t tell, be funny and unique, showcase your most valuable masculine/feminine traits... and so on.

4.
Headlines count! Online dating headlines aren’t as important on sites where your picture shows up in the profile list... but in Craigslist, where it doesn’t, you need to pay more attention to the headline. For starters, read my article on bad online dating headlines here:
http://www.onlinecasanova.com/Online-dating-headlines
Then try to create something unique, funny, or visual. Don’t stop with the first one, write many and test them against each other.


5.
And finally... put some effort in! If you look at a lot of craigslist.org “men seeking women” and “women seeking men” posts, you’ll be horrified by how weak an attempt some people make. You should put in a minimum of 300 words, spaced out to 4 or 5 unique paragraphs... don’t clump it all together. Sometimes the best way to stand out from the crowd is just to show up and do a good job!

Happy dating!

In my Opinion the most Important is Don't give out any personal information (name, phone number, address, place of work) until you've gotten to know someone a bit...in fact, it's best not to divulge that info until after you've met and gotten an impression of them...

Dear Blog Owner,

I'm the performance marketing manager of interracialmatch.com. I wonder whether you have interest in running your own Interracial dating site or work-at-home business. We would like to work with you setting it up.

You can pick the name for the interracial dating site, and own the domain and brand. We take care of all the backend, engineering work and customer service work.

You don't have to worry that no one exists at your interracial dating site at the beginning. Your site will share millions of quality profiles with other interracial sites we have already set up. Your users can immediately contact hundreds of thousands of other users once they register at your interracial dating site.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask me. I am looking forward to your reply.

I've heard it doesn't take much to get rejected by eHarmony. Apparently they are picky.
