Don't get me wrong, I have no problems what so ever with this type 'looking for love ads', in fact my best friend is getting married to a guy she meet on the net and he is wonderful. I just wonder what conclusions people come to if they are looking for a date/just reading the ad's of those that are published.
I was very bored the other day as DD at school and all housework had been done. I found myself reading one of the local free newspapers when I became aware I had spent a silly amount of time on the 'obiutary notices' (Dont know why as no one I know had died and it made depressing reading.
Feeling a bit'werid' at doing this I flicked to next page which happened to be 'lonely heatrs' section.
I never knew these things can be so amusing that I spent the next 10mins or so chuckling to myself as i read. The clincher for me was the comment that came before the 'stats'. with heading such as "Highway to Love' , 'Miss me, Miss out!' and "A whole lotta woman"
they were so strange/funny that I questioned who would want to 'date' this person who comes up with headers like that.
The funniest 'ad' I ever saw was an ad complete with a photo. The info that was on it said something like "Big Softie, homebody , teetotal, loves ballet!" Not strange on its one , but the photo that was with it showed a rough and ready guy in what can olny be described as a 'mug shot'. He looked he was on something. I concluded that a mate had sent it in for a joke.
