When I post an ad in w4m, I get anywhere between 50 to 150 responses, depending on if and when my post gets flagged. I am intensely curious about what a comparable post would yield in m4w. I know what w4w yields- nothing. But I have observed that every m4w ad I've responded to, I have gotten a follow up reply for. This may be indicative of my clearly superior ad response skills, but I also suspect that it indicates fewer responses for male-posted ads, which would seem only reasonable given the general demographics of CL and sites like it.
I prefer to post ads rather then reply in general. Posting obviously yields a larger pool to pick from, and, provided that they actually read the whole ad, I can safely assume that the occupants of said pool are into what I am into. I typically only respond to ads that address one of my particular fetishes, or ones that seem clever and well-written. It should go without saying that these are few and far between.
I also try really hard to not respond to ads at the same time as I have my own ad currently posted. Guys do this all the time and I always find it annoying. I suppose they assume that I will not notice, but then, my obsession with CL is probably beyond the ken of the average male.
