I think im going to sign up, there are only 3 or 4 people in my area. i think ill upload the same photo i use for my avatar here, and just say “have you seen the cable guy? well, it would be like that” followed by “available for haunting your house, stealing from you, and other random weird behavior”

There’s a lot about it on this thread that happened a couple of months ago. Thought you’d be interested.

It looks a better format for escorts than Craigslist. I’m super hesitant about anything like that, I wouldn’t go anywhere one-on-one with someone I didn’t know.

There’s a site called meetup.com a few real estate friends joined and have kept up with for hanging out at favorite restaurants with people, movie watching groups, hiking treks, etc. So far no bad news even if it seems the majority of people are meeting up with the underlying agenda of hooking up.

Oxymoron, I guess.
