How
to Write A Great Gay or Lesbian Personal Ad
If
this is your first time visiting an internet personals site
- these tips will help you write a successful personal ad.
If you follow these simple rules, you can place an ad that
should fill your email with potential mates or dates.
Be
Honest That's what I said, be honest. You would be
better off not lying about things such as your personal
statistics. I mean come on, if you're only
5'7", don't say you are 6 feet tall - what do you
tell him if you meet? That you shrunk? Plus,
being honest from the start means you won't have to
remember what you lied about later.
Give
Them A Decent Description Try not to leave anything unanswered, most people are
looking for someone with common interests, and if you and
he/she both like eating raw oysters, that might be the key
to the match.
Post
A Great Photo And don't use the excuse that you don't own a digital
camera. Everyone knows someone
that has one, or you can use a friend's scanner to copy
your favorite Polaroid. So clean up, put on your
best smile, and get that picture!
Don't
Act TOO Perfect You will scare someone away if you act like the
"perfect" partner, besides, you're aren't the
perfect partner. If you were, you wouldn't be
placing an ad, you would have them lining up outside your
door. Just have fun with it, let go a little bit.
Don't
Act Too Serious Again, you don't want to scare them away. Let loose
a bit, play around a little. Everyone enjoys someone
that knows how to have fun.
Tell
Them What You Want If you're a femme-boy looking for a bear, or a butch
lesbian looking for a femme-girl, then you have to say
these things. Otherwise, you might not get the
replies that you want. Be specific on the area you
reside in as well, unless you don't mind something long
distance.
Are
You Looking For a Long Term Relationship? If not, let them know. That way you won't have
your replies full of people that want to settle down and
"raise" that proverbial family. There are
just as many people out there just looking for a good time
as there are people looking for something serious.
Of course, if you ARE looking for something serious, say
it in your ad so you don't have to play the flirting game.
There's
Always the Edit Button Go back and update your ad on a regular basis so
people that read it will know that you're serious.
If you saw an ad that interested you, and then saw that it
had not been revised for over two years, would you answer
it?
This
is the Biggie - HAVE FUN Life is meant to be enjoyed, and everyone loves to
play. You can find some great people out there that
you can have fun with. You never know, the ad you
place just might be the one that your match was waiting
for. So what are you waiting for? Click
