It’s been a couple of long years since Craigslist had to shut down the personals section, the most popular category among singles of all sexual orientations and tastes. Around that time, a handful of new websites launched, hoping to provide a place of refuge for Craigslist’s homeless crowd. One of them was DoubleList, a clunky, out-fashioned website that reportedly hosts around 3 million weekly users. The question on everyone’s mind was this: is DoubleList a worthy successor?

What is DoubleList Maine?
DoubleList is a dating website for personal adverts that is used in Maine Region. It launched in March 2018, right after Craigslist’s Personals shut down in response to a sex-trafficking bill the US Congress passed. It aims to replicate the carefree environment of Craigslist’s personals section, complete with classified adverts for finding casual encounters.
How does it work?
Being an alternative to Craigslist’s popular listing model, It is not your typical dating site. That means there are no user profiles, at least not classic ones that you can see on social media or other adult dating sites. Instead, you introduce yourself to other users by posting ads and responding to them.
If you want to talk to someone you meet on Double List, you message them directly. When you see an ad you like, you respond to it by sending a private message to the user who posted the ad. Along with it, the user will receive your email address. The message can include text and your photo, but be careful what you send – it has a posting limit for ads and photos.
Summary
Vice versa, you can post your ad detailing the kind of encounter that interests you. Unlike many dating websites, it doesn’t have a matchmaking algorithm. You’ll only waste your time waiting for a match with a like-minded person with similar sexual preferences. The initiative is on you, but the website does help you narrow down your search by offering two broad sections with 17 categories.
