Well... it's free, so your time is the only thing you risk wasting. But CL is not the best place. Reasons: * Since the Erotic Services section got canned, many of the profe$$ionals now advertise in the dating section. * Very high disparity of women / men. This means that any girl that posts an ad on CL gets flooded with dozens, sometimes hundreds of messages within minutes. * Plenty of marketers / spammers who post fake ads and then try to get you to sign up for a dating / cam site, or try to get you to send money by Paypal (the "girl" doesn't exist, by the way, all the pics are fake). * Many of the women there who are not escorts or spammers are simply unattractive. Unless you live in a small city that is thousands of miles from civilization... this is not true. Remember that social sites and dating sites allow you to search by location so that you can find girls that are in your own area.
