Starting a thread on local sex finder on Craigslist gone because the search results are useless.

What matters more than the feature list on local sex finder is how the map view compares with the list.

The question underneath all of this is how many nearby profiles are actually nearby, at least with local sex finder.

Any experience with local sex finder on Craigslist gone welcome, good or bad.

Only had a month of steady use with local sex finder, but how it played out was stronger at the weekend.

If you take one thing from this thread on local sex finder: use a photo that shows your face clearly.

Do not send the same opener to everyone — that is what cost me the first ten conversations on local sex finder.

What matters more than the feature list on local sex finder is how far people will actually travel to meet.

Someone in another local sex finder thread recommended the Ezhookups community, so I gave it a week.

The condensed version of my local sex finder experience:

  • Give local sex finder the first ten conversations before deciding — what I ended up with was worse than the reviews suggest
  • If local sex finder is your only option, at least check when the account was last active
  • Check when the account was last active, especially if local sex finder is new to you

After a couple of evenings with local sex finder, how it played out was flat once the novelty wears off.

Most of my results on local sex finder came down to one habit — check when the account was last active.

The mistake I see repeated with local sex finder is people judge it on the first evening.

What I actually want to know about local sex finder is how far people will actually travel to meet.

Same as @mason.cook, though I would say how far people will actually travel to meet is the bit worth testing first with local sex finder.

My experience with local sex finder over the first few days: what the numbers looked like was flat once the novelty wears off.

Do not rely on the recommended matches alone — that is what cost me the trial period on local sex finder.

A friend pointed me at Datebound — worth a look when I asked about local sex finder; the sign-up was free and quick.

@bella.brooks maybe it varies by city, because local sex finder was noticeably thinner than in a big city where I am.

The fix that worked on local sex finder was simple enough — give it a full week before judging it.

Nobody writing about local sex finder seems willing to say what happens when you widen the radius.

What I actually want to know about sex finder is how thin the pool gets outside the centre.

If anyone has tested sex finder properly, I want to know whether the local tag means anything.

The one that surprised me on local sex finder was Datebie — worth a look — no card, no trial nonsense.

I gave local sex finder the first handful of matches and what people reported was clearly ahead on this one point.

If you take one thing from this thread on local sex finder: write a bio that says something checkable.

The mistake I see repeated with local sex finder is people expect the algorithm to do the work.

A friend pointed me at the Datewander site when I asked about local sex finder; the sign-up was free and quick.

Only had the first few days with local sex finder, but what the numbers looked like was less reliable than it looks from outside.

With local sex finder specifically, it pays to check when the account was last active.
