*POLL* Could you meet someone nice by using a "stuck up" personal ad?

[MichaelD]

Just a thought. We all have different standards; that's what makes the world go around.

If you put up a personal ad, with pics of yourself and had it worded kind of like:

You must be healthy and workout at least four times a week. Smokers and drug users take a hike. A few drinks a week is OK; if you have beer for lunch, forget it. Couch potatoes need not apply. Tall, thin and confident only. No chubby piggies, please. Do you pay all your own bills, or are you sponging off your ex-husband? The former is highly preferred. Oh....no "vegetablatarians" please. Kids OK (I have one, son, 8 year old), as long as you control them and not the other way around. Wimpy Soccer Moms afraid to spank their kids need not apply.

Seriously. What kind of women would answer? It's very easy to say "the stuck up kind" but I don't think that is necessarily true. I'm the kind of person that appreciates you telling me your expectations right up front; no B.S.

I'm far from perfect, but I'm at the point in my life where I know what I want...but I'm too burnt out from the years of wasting my time to go out shopping for what I want...thinking of trying this "mail order thing." Well, NOT as in "mail order bride" but you know what I mean.

i gurantee if you put n ad like that you would get responses. damn if a woman put an ad like that i would call her just to see how she sounds.

Go for it. Take a look at other guys' personals and you'll see just how much you stand out. It's probably fair to say the vast majority are guys who tout their "Sensitivity" and other squishy emotional traits.

A super-confident ad like that, or one that says "Wealthy independent benefactor seeks woman for travel and companionship" will definitely net you the most responses I'm sure.

I think if I were looking at personal ads and a female put up something like that, and I met all her criteria and she was good looking, it might make me more interested in responding since at least I know I'm in the running. I'd like to think it'd work the other way around as well, if a female was looking at your profile.

Do I think you could meet someone nice, or that she'll meet someone nice?

 

[MichaelD]

TTT

In the two plus years I've been here, reading your posts Michael, I would assume you wrote that yourself!

Nice personal ad. Put it up and see what happens if only as an experiment.

Mos def, my friend; mos def.

I'd run it as is. You'd be surprised how many replies you'll get, especially if you're in a good sized metro area.

 

[HappyPuppy]

Oh holy mother of god. MichaelD your mailbox is going to filled to overflowing with responses. Unfortunately, 99% of them are going to be fat, sweaty, 45 yr/old perverts with one hand in their pants.

d00d, it can't be THAT bad. Give it a little time.

i think its makes you sound more like an asshole, than a confident man, but that's just me. Wonmen like assholes, don't they?

 

[Anghang]

makes you sound like an NYCer..no BS...hehe...you'll get a lot of replies

 

[Shockwave]

I like it. Hell, I'd let you **** my sister! I wanna email you! Whats your phone number, lemme call you.

Seriously, thats gold. Pure gold. It isnt the chessy emotional "I just want laid" kinda ad. It cuts the BS out, tells women how you are, what you look for and that your serious. I mean damn, look at the other ads out there, they scream "I'll say what I gotta say to get in your pants" so yeah man run it!

Hehehehe Nice job, Michael. Leave it as it is and see what happens. You will most likely see three kinds of responses, 95% hate mail, mostly from overweight single soccer moms, with lines like "how dare you" and "your kid should be ashamed", about 4% from overweight single soccer moms who will lie to you and tell you want to hear until they'll get discovered (either by being caught in a lie trap or when the time finally comes to meet), and appx 1% from the women who fit the description. Slim chances? Yes. Is it worth it? What do you have to loose other then potential "quote of the week" material from the stupid single blond you may meet?

 

[MichaelD]

Thanks guys. At first, I thought it was maybe a little too brash...but then I said "....and??????" So, I'll leave it be. Thanks for the support.
