Yes, I have submitted my own CL "casual encounters" ad. It started as a joke, just to see what kind of responses I'd get. I didn't plan on going through with anything. But then a decent handful of men wrote me back, and now I think I want to take the plunge.

So am I making a huge mistake as a woman with AS? Has anyone else, guys or gals, done the same thing?

I wouldn't act on it at all. Casual encounters are usually not for anything meaningful.

In addition to what has already been said, did you mention AS in the ad?

I don't really have any close friends outside of family, and I'm certainly not telling them about this. 8O However, I do have a couple good acquaintances who care about me, so I'd just let one of them know I'd be meeting someone at such-and-such a time, and to call the cops if I don't call them by a certain time, or something.

No freaking way! I would never tell something personal like that to a total stranger, especially something that could make me more vulnerable.

There was a woman in Texas who answered a personal ad in a newspaper. The guy she met kidnapped her and kept her in a wooden drawer like box under his bed mounted on wheels. He would pull her out for sex, to eat, to go to the bathroom, and to shower. He kept her for years until she escaped. Make sure to bring someone with you or at least give someone the persons real name, picture, and address just in case.

Well, that accomplished nothing. Both of the guys I was interested in who contacted me dropped all communication after I sent them my picture. Maybe I'm too nerdy and I do look kind of boyish. Or maybe it's because the photo wasn't revealing at all. Sucks to be rejected by desperate guys. :(

Sorry for bumping this thread again, this is the last time. :roll:

If sex is all what you want (I assume this since it's "casual encounter" ) then go for it.
But just bring a friend with you to be more safe (threesome is not a bad idea too).

if you're already dead and dumped in a field, then someone checking on you and calling the cops will not help you at all. it's frankly ridiculous to get yourself into the situation in the first place.

if you want sex, try a friends-with-benefits situation, where you at least know the person ahead of time. has it occurred to you that your ability to filter out who would be "safe" or "unsafe" may be impaired by your AS?

Point #1: If you absolutely must meet a stranger off the internet, make sure you do it in a crowded place and whatever you do don't allow yourself to be alone with him until you're 100% sure of your safety.

Point #2: If it helps your self confidence any, you should know that some of us men are attracted to nerdy girls. Seriously.

...can I have a link to that? :X
(Or you were just making up for dramatic intent to be careful?)
