Top 15 Suggestions for Good Ad Writing
 
 1 Take some time and think about what you really want, because knowing that sure narrows the field.
 2 Describe yourself first. A quick mention of your physical characteristics if you have facial hair, are very tall, very short, very thin or very heavy, otherwise it doesn't matter. It is not important to give the length, girth or potency of your penis (or other body part) in a personal ad.   If you find someone you like, all those things are left to share between you.
 3 Tell about your interests - golf, hockey, movies, books (you can't stay in bed all the time!)
 4 Write about why you're placing an ad and what you hope to get from it.
 5 Tell what sort of physical characteristics make you feel sexy.
 6 Show us, don't tell us that you have a sense of humor, show it in your ad.
 7 If you're uncomfortable describing yourself, upload a photo that shows you at your best.  If you're a happy person, upload a happy photo!
 8 Be creative!  Write a poem, talk about your dog or anything that would make someone want to know more about you.
 9 Think about why someone would benefit from knowing you and loving you, then tell about that. You know what you want to know about other people, so tell those things about yourself.
10 Don't be negative.  NEVER say "I'm getting over a relationship where I was dumped and I need a friend to feel better."
11 Age is only a number and is no reflection on a person's sexiness or personality.  However, if age is important to you, write that you're looking for a person in a certain age range. Please don't ask for any woman between 18-99.  You won't get replies, as you're screaming that you'll take anything.
12 A laundry list of what you're looking for in another person to satisfy your needs is going to get no response.  Remember, relationships are partnerships, even if you're looking for casual sex. If it's not good for both, you're going to be wanking alone.
13 It IS important to let others know if there is a particular type of person you're looking for.  If you want someone who shares a fetish of yours, by all means list it and anything else that you have determined you won't live without.
14 I can't say it enough times, if you can't spell, then use a spell checker. Write your ad in a word processing program and check it and then cut and paste it into your ad. If you don't know how to cut and paste, write to us and we'll tell you how.  You have one chance at a first impression and if every 3rd word is misspelled, you won't come across as bright or intelligent, even if you are.
15 Be honest, it's easier and you don't have to remember anything.
