Does it really work?

That's the question most people seem to have on their minds when they visit the Casual Encounters section of the London page for Craigslist. In answer to the question - yes, it does, but for the fair and lucky few.

I'll make it simple. You get certain calibres of posters, some of which I have included below:
1. Straight men looking for straight women
2. Gay men looking for gay men
3. Straight men looking for gay men
4. Straight men looking for straight men

[(3) and (4) are obviously either very confused or in complete denial! - and usually married!]

5. Men who pose as females looking for men
6. Photo/Pic collectors ie men who simply like to build up their stash of amateur porn
7. The erotic "literatti" ie men who [foolishly!] fancy themselves as erotica connoisseurs, and love to regale us with tales of wanton sex and female moistness [you get the idea ...]
8. The serial posters ie men that put up the exact same post(s) every single day
9. Escorts (both male and female) touting for business
10. Couples looking for men to fuck the wife/wives
11. Couples looking for that special single bi woman [my advice - much easier to find a couple with a bi woman!]

... and last, but not least ...

12. Real females looking for casual sex ["sugar daddy" and/or monetary payment neither desired nor expected]

As you might imagine, those who fit into category (12) are few and far between, but yes, we do exist. Or perhaps, I should say, "I exist!". More often than not, the posts most men put on there looking for "us" are either scary, off-putting, or downright hilarious. Case in point:

Seriously?!

So what are we - sorry - what am I looking for? Someone that comes across as normal. What's that? You'll see soon enough ...
