If personal ads were honest, where would you draw the line?

Disappointment among those who answer personal ads is practically an epidemic in our world today. What if the ads were completely honest? Where would you draw the line about meeting a stranger? Couples discover so many disgusting things about each other if they stay together long enough, what if it were all just layed out on the table from day 1?

This exercise is to write a fake 'honest' personal ad for the opposite sex, and the members, male or female, comment on whether or not they would answer. The ads must consist of enticing facts, which we will assume to be true, and some really horrible things as well, in the name of honesty. I'll start with one for the mins:

"Hi, my name is Suzy. I'm 26 years old, have been told I'm drop-dead gorgeous, and I am proud of my perfect body. I used to be an executive assistant, but then went into modelling instead, and a bit of stripping on the side. The money was better than working 9-5. There is nothing I enjoy more than pleasing my man in every way possible. I can cook, clean, keep beer in the fridge and bring it to you, and service you sexually anytime you want, any way. I love sex. There are a couple of things you should know about me though. I have a pretty bad case of vaginosis, and the doctors don't seem to know how to cure it. Also, my breath could peel paint, even though I brush and floss and gargle 15 times a day. I hope this doesn't deter you. Looking forward to meeting that special someone."

So....do you call, or not?

Oh, whoever answers first should post a new personal, either for men or women, or both...

Haha! That might be why nobody has replied, Cav! Smile

I notice you used my name in your fake ad. You got it all right except for those last couple of sentences! :wink:

Okay, I'll get to work on something!

Hi guys! I'm Suzy! I'm in my early 40's, and it went by really fast! I'm not married, but I raised three boys mostly by myself. If you mess with me, they'll kick your ass! I went to college when my boys went to school, and I was class marshall and spoke at my graduation at age 36, although I'm generally not usually that dorky. I learned to drive and got my lisence at 38, and now I drive around blasting music in the CD player of my Hyundai, which I am still paying for. I like my music loud. I'm a fiend for caffeine, and my coffee is the best. I also smoke, swear and drink, but generally only on Thursdays (the drinking, I mean)! I love both my jobs and I owe lots of money, including hefty student loans and federal taxes! I'm very good at paying my bills but am finding it hard to keep up, but don't ever offer me money because I'll be humiliated and insulted. I don't want your money and I don't want to be taken care of. I have a cute new apartment all to myself and a new bed that hasn't been christened yet! I miss sex and probably have too much past experience to be considered a nice girl, although I really am. I don't want to get married and am not even sure about an actual relationship, so I'm just looking for some occasional male company who will also be a friend. I have long hair and I'm a freak for soaps, socks, and political stuff. I can sometimes seem cold and want to be left alone, and other times just the opposite. I can go without sex for a month but then be all over you for a week. I pretty much hate most cuddling, and I prefer not to kiss with tongues. I am particular about the thread count of my sheets, although I rarely make my bed. At times I can be obnoxiously optimistic and idealistic. I also procrastinate a lot when I need to address a problem, particularly a financial problem, which makes it a bigger problem. My weight goes up and down, so I have finally joined Curves for Women to try to get and keep at a certain weight. I have a burst blood vessel in my face from an injury, but I'm pretty good looking, although my teeth could be better. I shave my legs only when necessary, and have been known to shave my shins halfway up if I'm wearing pants that might ride up my ankles! I do shave for sex though! What I like is a guy who is tall, but it's not a strict requirement. I don't care too much what you look like as long as you're clean, dress decently and are polite. I think goatees are usually goofy, and I don't like long beards. Good eyesight is helpful, as I could use some help plucking these stray chin hairs! You have to like kids and animals and have a good sense of humor, particularly of the absurd. If you're the type who yells about anything, particularly politics, I'm not interested. You have to have a job and be a responsible person. I will rarely cook for you because I can't afford the groceries and I'm not a great cook anyway, but I will bake you cookies and stuff. You should not talk my ear off, you should like people and you have to be smart. A man in uniform is a bonus! Or a suit, or a man who looks good in jeans. No baggy butts!

I don't know if I'd answer it! I would never, ever, consider a personal ad. Too weird.

Oh, wow! You posted this in April! I hadn't noticed! Add that to my ad; I'm not real observant at times, and I have a really crappy computer that I'm clueless about, so I post 3 times! Also, I will ask you to fix things and replace high lightbulbs for me!

For some reason, it's not giving me the option to delete. The problem was, the computer was going so slowly that I clicked again, and apparently again!
I will have to PM Craven to help me delete two of them. And then, Montana, you'll look silly instead of me Smile "What does she mean by we heard you the first time?" heehee
So come on, you chickens! Where are your ads? Smile

Hahaha!!!! All you have to do is use the edit button and erase your posts. You can just put double and triple posts in its place and I can do it too, so I don't look like the fool, lol.

I'm thinking on an ad at the moment ;-)

You can't delete after another person posts, unless the other person is you yourself, then you can work your way backwards. If someone else has posted, you can edit it down to near zero, merely leaving the word Edit, or scratch that, or removing post or whatever. I have a lot of experience in this, as I have a long history of double posting, which I am mostly overcoming.

Occasionally someone is snotty about it. Mostly, people understand.

I coulda sworn I responded to this already! I must be losing it! At this point, Montana, if you deleted yours, this thread would be so confusing! Smile (if it isn't already!)
sorry, Cav!
