Members marcanthony Posted January 20, 2006 Members Posted January 20, 2006 So eastburbguy made the point in the STreet forum that much of cruising has moved online... and that very little actually happens on the street anymore. That being the case... what are the best web destinations for online hook ups? I just put my own brief impression of any that I have used next to the url Cruisingforsex.com (a complete package) Gay.com (pretty good but too many outdated and inactive profiles) Myspace.com (cute twinks, but many not there to hook up) Adam4adam.com (decent) craigslist.org (really fun to browse, and you get lucky sometime) dudesnude.com (has the best, most revealing pics) daddylover.com (gotta love this concept) manhunt.net (just get down to business) xy.com (twinks and skewed to west coast) I know I probably missed some so feel free to add to this list. You can actually spend a LOT of time hanging out in these sites... and you never know when you get lucky. Actually lately I would say that I have had just as many if not more encounters from these types of sites as I have from escort sites. Why limit yourself? LOL Quote
Guest jessedane Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 I would say for just finding someone to hookup with the best sites are manhunt and craigslist. I used to use gay.com, but it seems to take so much effort on there anymore and in the past year i've mostly just made friends off of there. Granted 2 of my past boyfriends I met on gay.com. Quote
Guest eastburbguy Posted January 21, 2006 Posted January 21, 2006 Well, there's (a) cruising for free sex and ( hustlers and escorts who only hang in chatrooms or other online venues. Two different things, IMO. In terms of free sex, craigslist and men4sexnow.com (sister site of men4rentnow.com) are by far the most popular in my area (Upper Midwest). Hustlers and escorts can be found on most of the sites you listed, plus don't forget AOL chatrooms, a fertile ground for both free and escort contacts. I had one of my best escort encounters ever with a guy in Houston who only hangs in the AOL chatroom there - he 's very low key and asked me not to write a review. Quote
Guest straycat Posted January 21, 2006 Posted January 21, 2006 Just a few of my thoughts... For me, the most active connect site is craigslist.org The other sites you mentioned have their moments however, craigslist, I believe, by far surpasses the others in actual hookups. I had enjoyed CFS for years but the information isn't as reliable as it once was and the people seem less desirable to meet. Gay.com is one of the most user-unfriendly adult sites I've experienced. I simply refuse to use it anymore ... but when I did results were really hit and miss. AOL chat rooms have offered a few nice finds but the key word is "few." Yahoo chat rooms haven't really been very useful for several years now. Just a bunch of bored kids fucking around. Once in a blue moon I'll post a free Rentboy personal and that has scored big one time with a few other mixed results thrown in. Personally I enjoy meeting guys on the street from time to time. I also have had fun in gay movie theaters in the past but they're becoming relics now. Quote
Guest Conway Posted January 25, 2006 Posted January 25, 2006 IMO, Craig's list in Chicago is a complete waste of time. The M4M board there is dominated by a bunch of blue haired old grandmothers that act like they own the place. I've never had one hook up work out from there. Quote
Guest Barry Posted January 25, 2006 Posted January 25, 2006 >IMO, Craig's list in Chicago is a complete waste of time. > I've never had one hook up work out from there. For the most part I agree but I've had a few. Most were visitors in town on business. Barry Quote
Guest ScottAdler Posted January 25, 2006 Posted January 25, 2006 >I would say for just finding someone to hookup with the best >sites are manhunt and craigslist. Manhunt is god If Im not finding someone to hookup with then I always at least stay in touch with friends from other cities. Speaking of which, time to log on Quote
Guest twinklover Posted January 25, 2006 Posted January 25, 2006 A few years ago Gay.com used to be the preeminent site for hook-ups and even more than one-night stands. I met some life-changing persons there, including my ex-bf. But for the last few years it has been incredibly boring. I need not describe the typical profiles and the obnoxious bots messaging you, It sucks now and I seldon revisit. Manhunt seems to be where all the action seems to be, and my young slutty friends seem to like it a lot. The feedback I get is that it's like most things in life, even with the pics, the chat and the libido--50-50. I now avoid any online hook-ups completely because I don't trust them and don't want to waste my time. A dance club (or a well-reviewed escort) is where I prefer to connect, up live, in person and without any doubt as to what their face looks like and how they talk (qualities as important to me as dick-size). It would be especially useful to know whether they have a big load and a clean smooth asshole. But I haven't figured out a gentlemanly way to "verify" this, especially online. I have verified it in other ways in person and by touch but for me it was not very gentlemanly. Quote
Guest FourAces Posted January 25, 2006 Posted January 25, 2006 Recently I have been traveling between Las Vegas and Dallas and find that CL can make for a great find in one city while in the next it can be equally worthless. For example when I'm in Las Vegas I really haven't had any issues meeting guys from CL. In fact, a CL discovery has led me to a fun regular. But when I'm in Dallas it has been very hit and miss. I'm not certain why such a different experience, for me, between the two cities but I believe some places gays are less comfortable using the Internet for hookups. A site I haven't seen mentioned yet is backpage.com It doesn't have the ad overload as some of the more popular sites mentioned but it has potential. I met a young guy from backpage in Dallas last week and had a fun time. Unfortunately there won't be a repeat as he was visiting from St. Louis. Happy Cruising! RT Quote

Guest eastburbguy Posted January 26, 2006 Posted January 26, 2006 To the Moderators: Do you think this topic should be moved to the Chatroom Scene Forum? Quote

Mark if you do head this way let me know. Chances are I'll be here (and not Las Vegas) so lunch is one me :-) Quote
