Personal Ads

I find it hard to believe that i would ever ever post a personal ad on sites such as cragislist, but nonetheless i find myself browsing through them every day in the computer lab. And im not even looking for a relationship, persay. Its just funny to read some of them. I never realized how desperate people can sound in the way they write.

There certainly are some well written ones out there, but a majority of the ones i come across just sound boring and desperate and weak. Come on people.

All im saying is set yourself apart. Dont be generic, thats just boring. I mean sure, on the otherhand its not like people want to hear about how wild or odd or eccentric you are, but im sure they would like to get a little taste of what you are all about.

Point: Personal Ads are lame.

And what about the pictures? I mean come on. If you really want responses, id suggest posting pictures that make you look good. Dont post ones of you getting drunk with your buddies. And dont just do face shots! People judge by the photo. It may sound shallow, but its true.

Bad Description Examples:
1. "Hi, my name is Ras and I like to live healthy by eating good"-First: Brush up on your grammar. Second: First point you really want to make is that you enjoy eating healthy?!
2. "That is why I went to the Planned Parenthood to have my private parts tied too early"- WHAT!?! Not something id disclose in a personal ad.
3. "A little about my fascination with larger ladies: I love women who carry their weight in their butt and thighs." - OH MY GOD. All i can say.

I just dont get it. There were even some asking just for marriage because they want to start a family asap. Come on people. Get real.
