decide to run an ad, write it to the particular kind of person you hope to meet. Which
your special interests would you like for them to share? Sports, camping, live theatei, jazz,
spiritual exploration, photography, dancing, writing, art, body building? What life attitudes
are you hoping for? Humor, kindness, independence, spontaneity, active and fast-paced or
thoughtful and slower paced?

Most ads indicate the age or age ranges of both the ad placers and the kind of person they
hope to meet. Some provide physical descriptions of themselves as well as the desired
characteristics of a date or future significant other. Others state up front that appearanee isn't
important.
Here are a coupie of boring ads to show you what not to write:

"To the woman of my dreams.I'm a DWM, 6'r2001bs., brown/brown, who enjoys the
pleasures of life. ISO a LTR with a WW/D/SWII,35-40." [This tells you, the reader,
virtually nothing about the seeker. Unless his recorded message offers something
interesting, you know nothing about this person.l
"Friendly attractive brunette. 40ish DWPF hlwlp is back in the area after 10 years and
is looking for someone to take long walks and share my life with." [Again this is too
bland. About all we know is that she likes to walk and is lonely.l
These examples are far more likely to attract the kind of person the seeker is looking for:

"Class act attractive, down-to-earth SJF,47, enjoys cultural activities, travel, wineries,
dining out, Scrabble, movies and football games. ISO an equally classy SM n/s social
drinker with similar interests. Friends or LTR possible."

"Thoughtful DBCM n/s with young children,looking for fun-loving, family oriented
SCF 30-40 who loves the outdoors, camping, web surfing, R&8. My church community
is important to me. How about you?"
"Experienced mental health professional50ish 5'10" huggable DW?M, interested in
exploring my inner spirifuality, learning about other cultures and belief systems, enjoys
drummings, writing haiku, Reiki, good conversation, Zinfandelo Thai food, midnight
nature hikes, Starbuck's, books, acoustic guitar concerts. If I have a personal totem (Irm
still working on that), it's wolf - the pathfinder and seeker of new ideas. Please call if
you're 40-60 and share my interests. Appearance irrelevant."

cost more, but can be far more effective. Short ones must be particularly
clever and informative to attract the hoped-for companion.

Good Luck!

Have you ever scanned the personal ads in you local newspapers? Just understanding the
abbreviations.can be a challenge, to say nothing of trying to find any that sound both
intelligent and sane! Knowing the rules of the Personal Ads road will help whether you're
rwiting your own or hunting for a match in on the printed page.

Most of these now protect the privacy of both the ad placer and the interested reader by
oflering a phone number to call to hear a message recorded by the seeker (voices tell a lot
about a person) and an opportunity for the reader to leave a responding phone message. Be
aware that these services often cost so much per minute of phone time. On any given late and
lonely night you can rack up a big phone bill perusing a few dozen personal ad voice
messages!
