So, looking for The Unicorn, still. We are heading to Club Kiss this weekend, but we still peruse the CL casual encounters w4mw section- has anyone EVER had any luck here? Or should I stick to OkCupid or friends?
Anyone found somebody who's NOT a picture collector or a single male from Utah on CL?

  • being a couple looking for the coveted bi woman online tends to not be successful. why? because most bi woman who are single have a multitude of those offers even when thats not what they are looking for.

    i never looked for that with my husband (tho i definately got the barrage of offers from couples) and we ended up being in a tri relationship. the girl was a friend of ours we had reunited with. she expressed her interest in both of us. and we decided why not? i find online coupling difficult between two ppl! let alone 3.

    we've had two tru experiences. all of which happened organically.
    that said. when u want it u cant get it. the universe is wicked!
  • Craigslist has been great for single men or women (mainly one night stands, btw). It's not the best place for a couple to look. Most unicorns have decided to graze elsewhere. OkCupid has been better, but really, I think it's a difficult thing to try and find. The girls I've met to join us have been girls I've dated on my own and then we said "hey, might be fun to try playing together". As a unicorn, I met one couple at Kinky Salon and one couple on tribe, I think. ::shrug:: but I always had a few offers and only a little time, so I was pretty picky.
    • My best results - both as a single girl who dated couples, and 1/2 of a couple that dates girls, has been a mix of both on line and real life meet-ups. that said, CL and OKC have both worked sporadically - I like that OKC is poly/bi-friendly - so many sites just aren't.

      Single bi-girls are *definitely* in the 'vanishing species' category of the dating world, (and know it!) so if that's what you're looking for, ya gotta do a little more work to set yourself apart from the "looking for birthday 3some surprise for hubby" camp - at least that's what I've found works best for me/us. And, on that note, if you're a unicorn reading this that would like to make acquaintance with a truly terrific m/f who happen to be a couple - well I'd be an idiot if I didn't mention I'd love to hear from you. :) :)
  • Hey Star,

    I have to say I never had great luck with CL, but recently I have been shocked by my good fortune. I actually met my current gf by sending her a message via her CL post. Best decision I ever made.

    Since that went so well I have since posted my own ad looking for an open poly male interested in persuing a relationship, and wouldnt you know it not everyone lived in their mom's basement! Some of the guys were cute, and the one I met with - we have amazing chemistry and a connection that is out of this world.

    I would have NEVER thought CL would have been so rewarding but damn if I don't owe so much to that place right now.

    I say give it a try just be real specific with what you want.

    Good Luck!

  • hey everyone. this is my first time posting here, but i've been reading along here and there. i am bit shy but have decided to delurk.

    anyways, i met my SO on CL a few years ago, in May 2006 - after sorting thru heaps of cock shots and weirdos mind you. anyways, we clicked right away via email and then even more so in person. we've been to 2 burns together (06 and 07) and get along famously. since we met, we've been on the lookout for a "unicorn" or perhaps even a ahem "centaur". pobably more so the former though, because i was just learning about myself and more attracted to that combo - comfort factor and all.

    i was feeling bold and posted an ad on CL in the w4mw section about this time last year. we met an AWESOME sexy lady and had a blast. she moved to Indiana, but she/i still keep in close touch and email regularly.

    so, my point being that it can happen online and that it can be a good thing. the interesting thing for me is that i've never had any luck at parties, events (even BM!), etc. But online is where things actually happened. Not exactly sure why?

    Anyways, just thought i'd add more thoughts/experience to the mix. I'm still looking for another "spice" to add to the chex mix, but have decided not to dwell on why it isn't happening. For now, I'll just put the vibe out there (in real life only) and see what happens.
    • Hi everyone. My partner and I peep CL from time to time, but we have a pretty good screening process. Realistically no one can expect for things to simply fall together. It takes a bit more effort than sending one line messages saying "I think yr HOT".
      We do OKCupid but have found the men to be pretty predatory there, unfortunately. I suppose its the same anywhere. Lets face it: Dating, in any shape or form, including poly, can sometimes suck. Its a crazy world out there and you're bound to run into plenty of dead ends and dorks. How does that one cleche go? "you have to kiss plenty of frogs before you find your prince" (kinda nauseating, but you get the point).
      I've had very good experiences and a couple of fucked up ones on CL. Go figure.
      I say, try CL, but SCREEN! -as in, sending pics you feel safe sending to someone you don't know, and getting phone contact around the third or 5th correspondence. Don't get frustrated. In sales, you typically have 10 no's to every single yes. On CL, youre gonna have at least 10 dorks (ok... more like 20) to every possible partner... and maybe 20 possible partners to every possible unicorn...
