Bad Craigslist Experiences

[tickle-me-mike]

Has anybody else had some bad craigslist experiences when looking for tickling partners?

At times, I've found it can be a good, cheaper alternative to seeing a domme for people like me who don't have the money to pay for a $250-$300 per hour session. I just graduated college and only have a small part-time job at the moment, and I just can't afford to see a domme right now. Yet, I still have the urge to get in a tickling session every so often, and I don't have a girlfriend at the moment. Therefore, I've used craigslist a couple of times now with various results. A couple of them have been very good experiences.

The bad experiences I have aren't actually with people I meet up with and pay for a tickling session. It's the people who seem to get their kicks out of emailing me and cussing me out, telling me I'm a pervert after they see my ads. I've had this happen twice now. I could see if my ads were deceptive, but they're not. I don't see why some people can't just pass by an ad they don't like. That's what I do. My ad can coesxist with other ads. Seems like somebody doesn't have a life if they feel the need to actually take the time to tell me off for no reason. I wish they'd just flag it if they don't like what they see instead of sending me nasty emails.

After the second time I received an email like this, I felt so angry I decided to just go and delete the ad I had up there. I'm sick of opening my email just to read nasty comments I don't deserve. I figure I'll have a better job soon anyways, and then I'll finally be able to afford to go to an actual domme who does this sort of thing for a living.

So, has anybody ever received nasty messages when they put up a craigslist ad seeking a tickling partner?

I have never used Craigslist, but you're right, you should just ignore these people. They have no lives of their own and are trying to make themselves feel better by attempting to bring others' down. The worst thing about your experience is that you let them get to you and deleted your ad - because that's what they were trying to do to begin with.

I actually have a lot of luck with Craigslist. Certainly, no one's ever E-mailed me to call me a freak, although this one woman did get rather high-and-mighty over some preferences I posted in a dating-oriented personal ad, once.

Generally, my ads get one of three types of responses. Spambots, people genuinely interested, or no response at all.

Put your ad back up.

There's a huge life lesson to be learned here about not worrying what other people think of you, especially if they're juts a troll on Craigslist.

It's a person on a computer, far away, who can very easily be a dick head. They type a few buttons, and you're world is thrown for a loop.
They give themselves high fives and cheer when you take your ad down. Or they're juts an evil little shit.

Why oh WHY are you giving these few people any power?

Ignore them, move on.

No one would be able to function if they shut down at every criticism. I know people who do.....and they live empty lives. "What if?!!" What if look bad?! What if "someone" 'says something?!'"
Etc.

There are whole books written about this subject, so if it becomes a problem, start a new thread about it, or read some books.

I wouldn't even acknowledge the existence of these people if it were me, but I've spent many years learning to not care what people say.

Put the ad back up, and get to laughing!

I've only had one bad experience meeting people from CL, and only a few pros that got abusive when we weren't on the same page. No worries. Still totally worth the effort of posting.

Don't let the trolls get to you, there's a reason why they sit behind a computer looking for people to bring down, it's because they have nothing better to do.

I tried once and nothing happened ( no responses.. ) that was before the Censoring of CL. I did not know they were allowing these kind of ads back on. May I ask what section you are posting? Ass for the haters.. Screw them. THey are not one of us, they are there to make themselves feel better. Think about it, why is someone cruising those ads if it is not what they are looking for... it is because they have no life and probably are in their 50's living in their parents basement...lol

Go .. Have fun... You have now given me hope

Not to go slightly off topic... but where on craigslist are you all responding/posting these ads? The only place ive met women off of craigslist for was under the "Therapeutic" ads but thats paying for massage. Are you all posting in the casual encounters section? Some other section? I'm curious.

Yeah...Ill just leave this one alone.

The first time I posted an ad, I wanted to make a tickling video, so I posted under talent gigs. I got a reply, but it was quickly flagged and removed, so I didn't post there again because I figured fetish gigs must not be allowed to be posted there.

I looked around, and saw a lot of people posted under personals, and I made a few posts under casual encounters after that, offering to pay for a tickling partner.

I didn't mention it in my original post, but a big reason I was so quick to remove the ad was because I already got one positive response. If it doesn't lead anywhere, I might repost, but I figured I'd rather not keep getting nasty emails from people when I might already have what I wanted out of the ad all lined up. A few times, the people I've started contact with got cold feet and stopped replying to me. When that happens, I just move on and keep looking, and that's what I'll probably do if this doesn't pan out.
