2. I've only done it once
And I wasn't even doing it seriously - my daughter put me up to it. I got a few responses within about a week and ended up corresponding with one guy for about 18 months, after making it clear that I wasn't actually looking for romance. He lived in California and I lived in Vermont but he always told me that if I ever wanted to try life on the west coast, I could stay at his place. So one day in December, I got laid off and decided to hell with it - I'd go to California. By that afternoon, I was in my car. Called him from about Nebraska and told him I was on my way.

That was 7 years ago this month. I'm still in California, we're still good friends, I met another guy who I fell in love with and I've been living with him for almost 5 years.

Personal ads, like god, work in mysterious ways. ;)

3. I have never placed an online personal ad.
Once, however, when I was 23 and bold and reckless, I placed a newspaper personal ad.

Once.

4. Best outcome ever
Responded to someone's personal ad. Got an email from her a couple hours later. Met in person two days later. Got married two years after our initial exchange of emails.

5. See, here's what you need to do:
1. Go to Adult Friend Finder, Alt.com, Craigslist's Casual Encounters, or somewhere equally meat-market-esque.
2. Post: "I am a single female in search of..." Everything after that is irrelevant.
3. OPTIONAL: Post a tit shot. It can even be one tit. Or a close-up of a nipple. It doesn't matter, as long as it's decent looking.
4. Watch the responses pour in, within minutes.

Sure, these won't be responses you want...hell, even if you were a single female trolling for casual sex you probably wouldn't want any of these responses...but they'll come fast.
