THE SITE S--KS
May 25, 2019

This site must be run by idiots. They can't seem to keep enough staff available to review ads. The are rejecting ads based on bais and prejudice, especially towards the older gay male community. They allow obscene ads from younger guys, but when an older guys tries to post a similiar ad, the reject it and even block the user. In my city, the seem to only allow the same loosers post ads.

May 24, 2019

Good site but I don't know why I can change my email for my account. That's the only complaint. Would be nice if they fixed that

Nice alternative
May 24, 2019

Very similar to the old Craigslist, I post an ad and people reply. Nice because I can find what I want in my area quick

Flags clean posts
May 21, 2019

The machine learning flags clean posts that have no objectionable content. I'm not going to try to play guessing games as to why my post is flagged since you can't request a review.

Hopeful
May 22, 2019

Been messing with site on and off for a few weeks now. Haven't gotten any action yet but it looks promising. I've gotten a few replies but nothing turned serious. Few posts flagged but nothing different from old CL. Hopefully something turns up soon.

Looks like a great site but they don't have my small city listed yet (Appleton), so I have to post in bigger cities next to me

Its ok
May 19, 2019

Pros:

- Its free, that's very rare these days
- Its private
- Lots of people in my area (Los Angeles)
- Its quick if you want a quick meet up
- Seems like there is less spam than other sites / apps

Cons:
- Some people abuse it and over post the same ad, its annoying
- They reject your ads sometimes for no obvious reason
- Its private (yes, a con and a pro), so you have to do your due diligience and find out who you're talking to and whether they would good in person
- They need to improve email functionality / user chats

Works in New York
May 19, 2019

I'm in Manhattan and I use it all the time to find new guys to hookup with. I do wish they had a chat feature on the site instead of the email thread thing.

I tried this site after Craigslist personals closed. At first it seemed like a good alternative but I soon found most of the ads were fake or duplicated dozens of times. After posting off and on for a couple of months my posts kept getting deleted. I was baffled. They were much less explicit than, let and i didn't post any pics. Then post I had used previous all got rejected,
This site had great potential but it's squandered. Don't waste your time. No customer service at all.

#1 personal site
May 19, 2019

Been on personal sites since the late 90's. Doublelist is the best I've used thus far. Impressed that they have a customer service channel that I can write into. 5-star service.

Its an ok replacement. I found that if you post a few times a week and reply to people then its ok as a hookup portal.

Thank you!
May 16, 2019

Was an active member on CL before it went down. Was so glad when I found doublelist a few months ago. Hooked up with 2 guys already in the last week. I'm a 38 gay male and g always enjoyed the simplicity of the ad based model. Makes meeting people so much more effective. They're supposed to be coming out with some updates and new sections soon so definitely looking forward to that. Keep up the good work DL!

We're a couple in our early 30's. Been on and off Doublelist since its launch. So far its been a good experience for me and my wife. We've met 3 other couples and 1 we still see once awhile. We were curious about getting into the lifestyle and glad we did. Thx Doublelist.
