Where is the best place to post free local personals now that Craigslist is different?

If it helps, treating it as a numbers game is the fastest route to burning out — small thing, but it adds up.

Speaking generally, a site confident in its product does not hide the pricing page — nobody tells you this at the start.

• After one bad experience I told a friend exactly where I was going and when to expect a text, and it saved me a lot of grief
