Tigerlily Member # 3567	posted Imagine you are still single (well some of you probably are) and you really want to change this fact. By posting an ad you are hoping to get the opposite gender interested in you. So how would your personal ad look like? This thread is for creative heads! I am hoping for some fun stuff to read! I am also looking forward for a contribution from VB, please!!!! Now come on and don't be shy, present yourself to us! Who's first?
Gail Member # 6886	posted Hey, Tigerlily! Risky post, but I'm intrigued. As fate would have it, I am still single... and currently looking. I'm not sure exactly how I would word my personal ad, but I think honesty is the key. I mean, if I lie about who I am and what I look like, guys are going to discover the real me eventually anyway.

The problem is, Gail, that chaps will assume you are exaggerating your qualities (same as with CVs), so if you say 'I am very attractive' most blokes will think you mean 'You won't be embarrassed to be seen with me in public' whereas if you put 'I am averagely attractive' blokes will think you mean 'You will probably need beer goggles when we meet'.
Gail Member # 6886	posted oldbag ~ That's SO funny. You're right though. Because so many people embellish, we can't help but be skeptical. I was browsing on a "social" website yesterday and saw an old boyfriend's profile. He lied about his age by five years! Please! I think people who just want to hook-up will do that, but people who want to find a long-term relationship really need to be honest.

I think people who just want to hook-up will do that, but people who want to find a long-term relationship really need to be honest. I confess to using an online dating site many many moons ago. I asked for at least 5ft 10" in your socks, full head of hair, non-smoker, minimum size 10 feet, and what I was confronted with was balding, smoker, 5ft 8" with yacky tinsy winsy size 8 feet. Bleurgh. I expect he was highly impressed with his 'statuesque blonde' though (didn't say what statue did I http://www.miketodd.net/pictures/pics/statues.jpg

Sobriquet Member # 13217	posted I’m young, dumb and handsome. I love women, I love sex, I love sports and I love traveling. I also love great food and for dinner I just ate a little hummus, a little fuul, a little eggs, a little yogurt, some olives and a whole lot of olive oil. My dinner says it all, I love variety, so if you can keep up, give me a call. I seek a sexy ass chick who is down and is ready to see the world. Yours truly, Sobriquet

Sash, "down" is an American slang term meaning the person is "down for whatever", basically meaning the person is willing to do anything, go anywhere, etc. A spontaneous type of person if you will.

[/QB] In the UK we have a similar phrase but 'up' - we would say 'up for it' instead of 'down for whatever'.

Yours truly, Sobriquet ''My dinner says it all'' Yeah, he is wearing a three course meal on his tie. It is obvious that it's a fun post, as a guy stating the above wouldn't have a chance in hell of attracting sane, attractive female attention. It just screams, 'Type of guy who is adept at one-handed typing.'
Prince of Nothing Member # 12020	posted I've never placed and ad, but I've put up a profile before. Not necessarily to find someone to date, but just to meet lots of different women. If I had to place an ad though, it would look like this: "Tall, handsome, intelligent, athletic male of mixed descent seeks attractive female for friendship, and possibly more. Must be a non smoker, healthy, fit, open-minded, intelligent and with a sense of humor. Preferably non religious (but Spiritual), and no children. Must also have a strong sex drive." A picture would have to be enclosed, otherwise they would be suspicious that I wasn't what I claimed to be. Honestly though, I could never see myself placing an ad. If I wanted a serious relationship, I'd find one in real life or go to E-Harmony or something.. ~Alistair

young at heart Member # 10365	posted Seem to remember I posted this before. It was a funny sent to me WWW.Adult Dating.com.. Your dating ad has been on our web site for 19 weeks now, without any reply! Do you want us to try 1 week without a picture!
oldbag Member # 9889	posted quote: Originally posted by Prince of Nothing: quote: Originally posted by oldbag: Get your coat, you've pulled Pulled? ~Alistair Sorry Alistair I assumed from your name you were British so would be familiar with the term. In Britain, if you successfully manage to attract a member of the opposite sex (or same depending on your inclinations) its called 'to pull'. Gangs of blokes or women go out 'on the pull' (ie to discos or whatever with the aim of landing a person of the opposite species to spend some time together). There's a standard English jest to say to someone 'get your coat, you've pulled' if they've done something intended to impress. Don't jokes die when you have to explain them
Prince of Nothing Member # 12020	posted quote: Originally posted by Tigerlily: quote: Originally posted by Prince of Nothing: Must also have a strong sex drive." Seriously I'd be way too shy to write this.... (blush) Why? Sex is important, and some people have stronger libidos than others. Why risk the chance of attracting a woman with a much weaker sex drive, which would only cause problems later down the road? Although, to be honest, I can't say that I've ever had a woman with a weak sex drive. I've found that the women who claim they don't really like sex, are those that have had alot of lousy, inconsiderate lovers and as a result, they think sex isn't all that it's cracked up to be. Once they get a good one though, they turn into nymphomaniacs ~Alistair

Don't jokes die when you have to explain them I figured British lingo was involved.. I'm American but I lived in the U.K when I was younger for awhile. Never heard the term "pulled" before though. Must be contemporary British lingo. ~Alistair
