let's talk about craigslist.
i been playing around with it for a bit.
at first it was fueled by an equal amount of sincerity and curiosity. 98 percent of the responses i got from ads that i answered as well as the ads that i posted myself were all spambots. i believe i've posted a previous entry about these spambots. the other 2 percent of responses i've gotten were of gay men offering to suck me off. these answers started to entertain me. just to see what happens. also, it became fun to see how rare it was to get an answer from an actual person.
what i'm leading to is a recent correspondence from one of these actual people. she answered an ad i put up in the "casual encounters m4t". meaning male looking for sex with a tranny.
i was completely unprepared for a sincere response. i feel really bad now. instead of explaining what and why, i'm just going to post the emails here.
i think i'm done with craigslist for awhile.

Hi there -
I've been searching for someone who may actually want to meet for a long time. I've looked for married guys mostly because they are more likely to be discreet but I've found that they are so discreet they never show!
I'm a 39 yo white married t-girl . My wife knows but will not participate. I'm into everything from sensual to kinky. I'm squeaky clean and would like to appreciated as the woman I have always felt I've been -- if not only in my mind.
[she attached a pict of herself. i'm not posting it here for the sake of her discretion]

fantastic picture renee, is that really you?
sorry to ask, but i've been tricked before by craigslist responses.
would it be greedy for me to ask for more?
i didn't expect to get a response at all, i wasn't prepared for it so please forgive me if i say or do something stupid here.
the fact that you're married makes me hesitate here. getting involved with someone in a committed relationship is a position that i'm not fully comfortable in. we can still talk, and see where it goes.
but, i can't host. since my dad has been out of work, and the lease ran up at my last apartment, i've moved back home to help out.
as i believe my ad said, i am 26, white, single, clean. live in newcastle de. and i've never been with a tgirl before. hell, its been too long since i've been close to anyone at all.
i'm attaching a picture of myself. it's not a good pict at all, but it is the most recent and the easiest for me to find right now.
thanks for your interest.
hope to hear back from you.
[i attached a pict of myself. i'm not posting it here because it's just not important. and i'm lazy]

It is me, albeit a professional pose. I have another picture from my younger days with big hair I will dig up for you. I understand your hesitation and respect that. My wife and I have been together since college but haven't been intimate in years.
Sorry to hear about your dad... it's a tough economy out there.
You're very cute. I love the lip ring.

Thank you for calling me cute. Everybody needs so hear that every once in awhile.
And thank you for sending that other pict. I love getting pictures from people. feel free to send me any anytime. Sorry i'm not attaching another of myself. I'm at work and don't have any available here.
like i said in a previous message. It was easy to post and an ad and respond to spambots and people propositioning themselves to me for money. Those things became entertaining to me. But now that i'm talking to a real person my mind is getting carried away with all the things that can go wrong. its not likely we'll meet. Call me chickenshit. I'm a kid. I'm probably not whats right for you.
I'm sorry to hear you and you're wife haven't been close in years. I can't imagine how difficult that is. Why continue with the marriage if you two are no longer close? And why is that? Do you live your life as a woman? Or do you still keep up the appearance of a ''good husband'' forcing you to live a secret life?
I know. i know. i'm being completely intrusive. i'm sorry. i just have an inquisitive nature. if i'm crossing a line just let me know. I'll stop.
maybe i ask questions of others because i'm deflecting.
Have you made craigslist connections before? Does it work?

Hi again -
You probably hit the nail on the head as to why I haven't met anyone yet. Most are spam or pros looking for money and when repliers find I'm the real deal they get scared off.
I stay married because my wife knew about Renee even before we were married - in fact when she asked if I was ever going to propose I told her that my desire to be a woman was overwhelming and I would likely take it further someday. She said I shouldn't be concerned and she loved me no matter what. It's not often you hear that in a lifetime so here we are. We were intimate until about five years ago when she underwent gall bladder surgery. It seems they took her horny gene out as well.
I don't live full-time as Renee but she is always with me. You can share with me what you think could go wrong and we can talk about it.
You can ask me anything you like. I don't mind. It doesn't have to be about my lifestyle, either.
I've never met anyone through Craigslist. I haven't been with a guy since college.
I'll leave you with this: If your fantasy gets the best of you, I'll be here. If you're looking for a guy friend that shares the same interest as you from the other perspective, I'll be here. If you're lonely and just want some intimacy, I'll be here.. If you want to meet me as a guy and play it as though you see my panties sticking out of the top of my jeans, and call me on it... I'll be here. If you just want a friend, I'll be here.

i'm not the guy for you. nothing against you. its all me; all the shit that i've been going through and where i am with myself right now. i'm not sure why i even made a post in the first place.
i know, that sounds like such shit doesn't it. "its not you, its me". but its true.
you seem really smart, and really incredibly sweet.
i wish you the very best of luck in your search. you deserve better then what i have to give. and i hope you find it.

that's all.
my attentions have wandered away from me. so i'll just leave it here.
