High marks
August 1, 2022

High marks, top notch! Fills a void that badly needed to be filled. I only have two suggestions;
1) Time stamp user's posts, and
2) When a user creates a post, offer some guidance other than "get more visibility by attaching a photo." For example instead of the location just saying "Cincinnati," it should include what part of town, or neighborhood. Also, clearly call out if the poster can host or not. Just those two examples would eliminate getting two or more email exchanges in before finding out it can't work out.

Keep up the good work!

Worthless time eater
September 24, 2018

Pretty sure this site is run by ultra conservative Christians looking to throw a wrench into any "immoral" behavior. All my ads get flagged no matter how vanilla the language. No replies get sent, that I can tell.
I would go as far to say it's completely illegitimate.

Can't get an ad up
March 1, 2022

I made an account and can't get an ad approved. There's nothing against the standards in them. One has been under review for 12 hours. It's like the bots can't find a reason to flag it so they just won't approve it. Site is full of scammers too.

Convenient way to play
March 24, 2022

I didn't know anything about this website until a buddy of mine told me about it and I'm so glad that he did! It's easy to set up and even easier to search for whatever you're interested in. I like how private, discreet everything is without all the drama.

Garbage
August 8, 2021

They are no better than Craig's list. If someone doesn't like what you post, then they flag your ad. There is no recourse either. I've been flagged multiple times. Each time it's because I have rejected someone who has had none of the same interests as me.

Today some guy demanded I send him pictures. When I refused he became threatening and calling me names. Soon as I would block him he found a way through the block. Shortly after I finally blocked him for good, I was notified my personal ad had been flagged.

I emailed them about the behavior and it fell on deaf ears. You will have better luck with the bars if that's your thing. Double list is a garbage troll infested site just like Craigslist and Grindr have become now.

There's nowhere decent gays can go anywhere now to meet others.

Opportunity knocking
May 17, 2022

A great, free and needed app for the community. It has served me well by successfully putting me in touch with others where other apps (with steep fees) have failed me. Allowing most any posts enables users to be very targeted in what they are seeking. Excellent ability to access listings from many different locales in the event the user is travelling or just curious about other locations.
Nice to haves: multiple search keys (eg. CD, hosting, tonight); more precise location information, ie 'Toronto' is very large - having ability to narrow listings to Toronto-downtown vs Toronto-airport vs Toronto-York Region or just keep it wide open ('Toronto'); ability to see when ad was posted (this seems spotty and inconsistent - makes it a challenge when poster indicates 'today' in their post).

Thank you!
May 15, 2019

Was an active member on CL before it went down. Was so glad when I found doublelist a few months ago. Hooked up with 2 guys already in the last week. I'm a 38 gay male and g always enjoyed the simplicity of the ad based model. Makes meeting people so much more effective. They're supposed to be coming out with some updates and new sections soon so definitely looking forward to that. Keep up the good work DL!

Thanks Doublelist
February 1, 2023

I like this site even though it's mostly all picture collectors & fake postings. Once in a while you can actually find someone wanting to meet up with you and spend time together doing what like minded person's do.

Make love not war.
January 4, 2023

Thank God for your great service. After Craigslist went away we were lost and lonely. You came too the rescue. True there are other sites but you're the longest i have been with. Since the passing of my wife i prefer texting here rather than the bar scene. Thanks again. FAB. Kiss

Serious arbitrary ad rejections based on certain words and phrases. Same ads pass then are rejected... which means they haven't got a clue what they are doing. It is an adult site! So "hole" and "hookup" will not shock anybody. Wont even go into the picture policy. Opportunity for someone to really replace CL personals

Doublelist is not bad
November 16, 2022

I've met quite a few people through DL but it would be better if the ads were updated in real time since old ads appear as new. Hopefully they will continue to improve the site and experience for all that use this service.

Too many phonys
February 11, 2023

People who post, don't respond. Your system doesn't always get emails to recipients. Way too many old,old posts. Some are from 5 years ago, same old posts. And do women even know this site exists? I think men just post as women.

Real people and connections
June 26, 2023

Have traded notes with many from here and met up with 3...1 has worked out especially well. Yes, a bit of odd behavior from some, but mostly real people stating clearly what they are looking for...makes it easy to find potential matches, get started communicating with them

100% love ya
March 23, 2022

My experience like there's only one. Seems I live in a area flush with lonely fat women and wife's that don't give head. At two yrs on here I have several regulars
(male&female) and only takes hour or two to find a new playmate. I'm guessing I've had over a hundred hookups from DL. Been kicked off once but that's ok. So for a pervert like me your perfect.

Needs work but trying hard
August 23, 2022

Although the moderation is somewhat spotty, they remove bad posts when reported by email. Not sure the flagging is functional at all. Bad posts that stay up for one or two weeks are an issue. Seemingly innocent posts get flagged by the system. I would suggest an edit function, and the ability to review and resubmit flagged ads. More has to be done to moderate on keeping people in their designated interest sections, for example, guys responding to ads posting for females hoping to change the orientation of the ad poster. I reported a site bug and it was fixed within two days. Kudos for that.It greatly detracts from the site that they use browser hijacking triggered links that open advertisements in background tabs. That needs to stop IMO.
As a former Craigslist user, and unofficial "peanut", I am glad you provide this free service, which is greatly needed and appreciated by some. But it needs work.

I haven't gotten serious on here enough to hook up yet. But this is a nice replacement for craigslist classified. It's mostly guys 4 female/male/couples right now, but I'm sure when word spreads it will be a hit.

For the Fun Of It
March 31, 2022

Good place to make new friends. People I have met here have turned into playmates that we enjoy sharing our mutual interests and pleasures.
Wish there were more couples for senior guys, but I cannot fix that, so it is still wonderful when it happens.
