3. Leave the felony conviction out
And the line, "I will own you" usually doesn't go over well...

4. It's funny.
On mine, there seems to be a very attractive 44 year old woman who has taken an interest in me. And I'm only 25.

5. Too much fondness expressed for "long walks on the beach"???
Doesn't that phrase pop up in most personal ads? It's become a cliche. Borrring.

9. LOL!!!
I live in California, so it seems every other personal ad I've seen includes that phrase.

7. Your opening line doesn't work
"Do you enjoy the taste of human flesh?"

It's catchy, but I don't think it's going to attract the .............

Never mind.

8. Better to get something like that out there in the beginning.
You don't want to find that he/she's no into the flesh eating thing after you've creared an emotioal bond. More often than not, in those kinds of scenarios, you'll end up having to eat him/her, simply for reasons of privacy.


But perhaps I've said too much.

11. Just received a "smile"
And golly! she likes long walks on the beach. And cuddling by the fire. And candle lit dinners. No mention of enjoying a jaunt down to the dump to shoot rats. I guess I'll let that one pass then.

The few interesting ones live too far away to be practical. I'm glad I'm content as a solitaire.

13. Does your ad read something like
"Balding, slightly pudgy, middle-aged couch potato (still lives with mother) seeks gorgeous, uninhibited 25-year-old for no-strings-attached sex. Chubbos need not apply. Must have car."?

'Cause that didn't work for me, either.
