Being in the online dating industry for as long as I have, I’m not sure how to feel now that Craigslist no longer provides a casual encounters section. Millions of people used it worldwide and it sometimes yielded some sort of results. I’m also guilty of having used the casual encounters section on Craigslist a few times in the past. Sometimes, just going through the ads was enough on its own to provide entertainment for the night. Some people say it was a terrible option for anyone looking to get laid, but the truth of the matter is, compared to the Craigslist personals alternatives, it wasn’t all that bad. There were actual people posting and replying to ads which makes it enough to be considered as your go-to site to find casual sex.
No matter how you felt about craigslist’s personals section, it’s gone forever. It was terminated due to Facilitation of Human Sex Trafficking.
It’s time to move on to something else. We’ve gone through all the alternatives and will hopefully help anyone reading this find a new home for their casual encounters needs.
In this post, we’ll reveal 3 options you can use in order to find ACTUAL casual sex partners near you.
The Craigslist Casual Encounters Copycats
Before we go any further, I think it’s important to mention the copycats that have tried to take Craigslist’s place and why you should avoid them at all costs. When Craigslist announced they’d no longer have a personals section, many webmasters jumped at the chance to build a copycat site. Unfortunately, the fact that there were more than 200 copycats, means that some of the traffic from Craigslist was split among them, with the rest of the traffic still looking for a Craigslist personals alternative. Not having sufficient traffic, all of these sites resorted to creating fictitious ads in order to attract people to their site. We’ve tried them all, and we can safely make the claim that none of them come close to providing the same experience that one would have found on Craigslist.
Avoid any clone or copy of Craigslist at all costs. The experience will not be anything like what you were used to.
Hookup Sites like Craigslist
Although we agree that Craigslist casual encounters DID yield some results, there were many flaws in the way the site was set up. There was absolutely no moderation. This made women a little hesitant to take the hookup to the next level. This is why there are so many Craigslist casual encounters horror stories online. Anyone can pretend to be pretty much anyone without any moderation whatsoever. Whether posting ads or replying to ads, there was really no way to know for sure who you were dealing with. This was a little off-putting to women which is why the ratio of men to women on Craigslist’s personals section was approximately thirty men to one woman if you take into account the fact that 80% of the female ads posted were fake.
When we embarked on our journey to find the best alternatives to Craigslist’s personals section, we wanted to find a site that yielded similar or better results. The user experience was not an important factor. We wanted to find sites that had a better balance of men and women more than simply finding a site that was similar in experience. Results, at the end of the day, are what matter.
What we took into consideration:
- Ability to find real casual encounters
- A safe experience for both men and women
- The ability to filter results based on geographical location
- Sites that are geared towards casual sex encounters and not mainstream dating
- Established sites with a stellar reputation
- Sites with real members seeking casual hookups
- Sites with a large enough database to provide matches no matter where you’re located
We were able to not only find sites similar to craigslist casual encounters but sites that yield far better results with a much safer experience for all genders.
Without further ado, here are three sites that will help you find real, local, casual sex partners. Whether you’re seeking a replacement for W4M, M4W, M4M, or T4M, we’ve got you covered with the 3 alternatives to craigslist posted below.
Craigslist Personals Alternative for W4M and M4W #1 – AFF
Without having to dig too deep, we are comfortable in stating that the very best option for anyone seeking a no strings attached encounters is by far the oldest, most established adult dating site on the internet. AdultFriendFinder has been around since the 1990s and is being used by people all over the world, in every city, no matter how big or how small.
There are more than 80 million real, active members using AFF daily to find casual encounters. The members here are open-minded, eager to hook up, and most importantly, safe to meet.
Once you sign up to AFF, you’ll be able to filter results and see all the members that are seeking casual sex near you. The search filters are the best in the industry and based on the sheer size of their database, you’ll pretty much find anything you want no matter how original, or how kinky.
Most new members are able to hook up on their very first night of signing up. This is true in big cities and small towns alike.
Before trying any other alternative to Craigslist’s casual encounters, be sure to give AFF a try. There’s really no way you won’t find an actual hookup as soon as tonight.
Craigslist Personals Alternative for M4M – OutPersonals
Craigslist was well known for their m4m personals section. Gay men worldwide depended on Craigslist for their casual sex hookups. Unlike a lot of the other options out there, Craigslist provided actual results to men that were seeking male companionship.
Luckily, there are many other options out there that are far superior to Craigslist in terms of results, safety, and user experience.
We’ve tried 28 sites that are geared towards m4m casual hookups and by far the very best option we discovered was OutPersonals.
OutPersonals does a terrific job at scanning their database for fakes, pretenders, and spammers. The site keeps the member database clean which provides an excellent user experience for men seeking men for casual sex encounters.
Whether you’re in a heavily populated city in the United States, or in a rural area in Canada, OutPersonals will yield results, and fast.
Craigslist Personals Alternative for T4M, M4T, T4T – OutPersonals
The Transsexual section within Craigslist personals wasn’t as popular as the other sections. Results obtained from this section were not as easy as the other sections. A lot of the ads were bogus ads seeking to collect emails in order to drive the visitor to another site.
That being said, we joined the 8 major transsexual dating sites and used them all for a period of 8 weeks.
The one site that outperformed all the others was TSDates.com.
We were able to find real transsexual singles that were looking for a good time with no strings attached. Many of them were seeking men, while others were looking for other transsexuals. A lot of the transsexual members were very interested in meeting up with inexperienced men that were looking for their first experience with a transsexual.
The ratio of men to transsexuals is well balanced, far better than on any of the other major sites we tried.
TSDates yields results. Period.
Don’t Be Discouraged
We too were upset when we heard the news that Craigslist was shutting down their personals section. We believe in a free internet. An internet where users make their own decisions on whether they should visit a website or not. We lost a site that was different in the sense that it provided users with actual results. 90% of the online dating communities don’t yield any type of results whatsoever. Sure, Craigslist’s personals section had its issues. It was far from perfect. But anyone who has experienced a real encounter using it will surely feel a gap.
The sites we mentioned in this post have survived the test of time. They’ve got real members by the millions, and do yield results. They also offer a better user experience.
Great review all legit sites with good insight
Very pleased to see its
Refreshing not to see the BS reviews. Nicely done

Do you know one of the toughest things to do in Metro Vancouver is make a new group of same sex friends. I’m talking platonic friendships. If you find yourself in a new town or city I’m in Port Moody and I have some male friends but my best girl friend is my Mom! It would be nice to make some unrelated friends who live in my City I’ve been here for 3 years and still have not made any meaningful new connections. I just want some friends to meet for walks, coffee, tacos, laughs the usual stuff. I don’t have some kind of social repellent on I just have not had opportunity. I’ve taken art courses in my new city. But seriously, how do I meet other women who also want to make more friendships? The isolation is really getting me down.

Not sure if you’re asking me to message me but if you’re not, you can say no. I am still around.
Good looking guy, single. 40 good shape. Straight. Seek any women only.
I DON’T CARE ABOUT LOOKS AGE OR SHAPE!!! Serious only. Do not request financial needs this ad is about love and fulfilling a woman’s loneliness for life. I’m addicted to wearing socks all the time. Prefer women with foot fetish because I have a bad habit of falling asleep work boots on. need an aggressive woman that will immediately take my shoes and socks off when will she come home and find me asleep. Feet are clean sexy but extremely ticklish (I only tell you this secret because it will keep me good I’m not the cheating type, l so far every woman that has tried to pick me up as never been turned down). Tickling I hate so bad it’s my version of hell I’d rather have the fire torturing my feet. Own my own home near the Orlando Florida area must be animal lover. Last girlfriend was obese sex starved, wore glasses and was considered ‘ugly’ … I thought she was beautiful. My version of beauty is completely the opposite of what the shallow people think. The way to my heart is a woman that can take control of my feet and keep them bare otherwise I will be a bad boy with my boots on. First woman that can break me off my addiction to wearing socks I will marry. Serious only no games. I will want proof that you have a foot fetish for men’s feet because I have been lied to before.

What about married couples who are looking to have someone come join them? Possibly even dominate them both, and said couple love being mounted and love to take turns giving oral to completion. I mean I am yet to find a site for this. I am a normal hard working guy and see there is some pornography that has this topic but when you are actually to one looking for a good looking stud to hang with you and yours, it becomes like a needle in a haystack. Anyone who has a suggestion please send it to mrthomavenable@gmail.com and I will send you some thanks and let you know how grateful we are.
Well get back back to me

Hello
A true sexy woman finally that speaks her mind about what you and most folks like
So just curious here and I know I can’t be the only one that feels this way. I don’t want to get on any website and chat and then play with my self on a computer. Seriously, if that’s all these websites are then I can do that on my own. I wouldn’t really need you then??? Idk that’s how I see it.
So that being said are their any actual sites to talk and then hookup?? Like a real hook up. ???
Anyone???
Hmmm looks like this one also goes down in the dust. I’m looking for a married woman in deep east texas that wants to play and then go back home.
Magicj405@ gmail.com im feeling you, im lonely for a beautiful and thoughtful woman lets simply chat and advance from there..Lets enjoy life.
Hello am sorry to tell you this but Adult Friend is a good site , except they have a lot of post that you can’t contact them cause they are not a paying member and you have to look to see if they are or you are wasting your time they can not answer you back if they are not a paying member , also I have found in the site that there are a lot of the same old woman that have been members in there forever and are very very picky on who they want and most of the woman at least around my area are not paying members. I have messaged a lot of the non paying members in there when I was a paying member and left them my e-mail address to contact me and never once got a reply back from any of them. So maybe Adult Friend Finder maybe a good place to find someone, I have found that some of the non paying members are fake profiles and put up by the site or by people trying to scam you into believing they are real when they are not, some yes are true but before you pay your money to be a member in Adult Finder check to see how many are paying members in your area before you waste your money .
Like most other sites, AFF now charges you a monthly fee before you can do almost anything other than fill in your personal information and preferences.
You can’t even look at profiles!
When you see that you have a message you have to pay for a month before you can see who it’s from, that includes messages from AFF.
They should have a trial period that’s free so you can see if it works for you.
