Where can I post online personals now that Craigslist is no longer an option?

Asking about post online personals now that Craigslist is no longer because the advice online contradicts itself constantly.

Everything written about these platforms covers the signup and nothing after it.

For context I'm not in a major metro, which I suspect changes the answer on these platforms.

Tell me about post online personals now that Craigslist is no longer from experience rather than from a review page.

Agreeing with the previous reply about dating platforms, for the same reasons.

One thing I would do differently with dating platforms — set your radius tight first and widen it only if it goes quiet.

Judging dating platforms without knowing your age bracket relative to the local pool is close to meaningless.

Not the last word on no longer by any means.

• Facebook Dating — no separate app to explain away, as of this year
• Plenty of Fish — no polish, plenty of activity
• OkCupid — quieter than it used to be, and it has been consistent since
• Badoo — worth trying if the US apps are dead near you
• Tinder — the one everyone has tried at least once

For what it is worth I have had better luck on DatingFly — datingfly.online than on any of the big paid apps.

EZHookups has its supporters on this forum, though I am not one of them yet.

That has not been true of the options on the table in my area, for what it is worth.

Hope some of that helps with post online personals now that Craigslist is no longer.

For what it is worth I have had better luck on Flurrydate — flurrydate.online than on any of the big paid apps.

Datenest is the other name that keeps appearing whenever this gets asked.

The part nobody mentions about the platforms involved is how quickly a conversation went from match to plan.

If you are starting with the platforms involved, turn off notifications so it does not take over your evening.

The move with the platforms involved is to screenshot anything that looks like a scam and report it.

I also keep half an eye on Datescout — different crowd, same free-messaging idea.

Judging dating platforms without knowing whether you're in a commuter town or a city is close to meaningless.

My advice on dating platforms: assume the first three conversations will go nowhere.

Interested to see what others say about post online personals now that Craigslist is no longer.

• Hinge — slower but the conversations go further
• Tinder — volume over precision, your mileage may vary
• Bumble — useful if you want some initial filtering, as of this year
• Badoo — strong outside the US
• Facebook Dating — fine if you already use the platform, though that may well be regional

I rotate between a couple of these and Datedesire (datedesire.online), mostly because neither charges to open a chat.

Been using the options on the table steadily since the spring and it has been fine.

One thing I would do differently with the options on the table — treat any request for card details as a reason to leave.

Happy to be corrected on any of post online personals now that Craigslist is no longer.

Someone earlier recommended Datebie and I ended up sticking with it longer than expected.
