There are rumblings that Craigslist got rid of their personals section which basically relegates that entire site down to garage-sale status... Not I've never used Craigslist for anything but have tons of friends who swear by it for anything from concert tickets to an outlet for old furniture and a select few who've been on the casual encounter section and have -mostly- left satisfied and STD free.
Dating services like Match, EHarmony and Chemistry seem to get put on a pedestal because in 2010 there seems to be the same cache to meeting somebody on one of the 'legitimate' sites as meeting somebody in a bookstore or cooking class years ago whereas using Craigslist seems akin to porking some fat chick you met at a bar while black-out drunk. The truth is that I know just as many people who have used the 'legit' sites for casual hookups, guilt free sex and a few close calls with painful urine streams as people who have used Craigslist. See the internet age has taken the stigma off of internet dating but that doesn't mean it's all pure either. Chicks bang tons of dudes they 'met' online, it's just that dating today is like going to Mortons where you get to choose your meat before they throw it on the grill.
With that said I know at least 10 couples who've gotten married after meeting online and they seem to be some of the healthiest relationships around.
