Have you ever tried dating through a personal ad? I recently put up an ad to see what was out there. It was actually a lot of fun to describe myself and the kind of person I was looking for. The site suggested that I include a photo, as ads with photos are more likely to get a response. I didn't like the photo I had. I didn't think it represented what I truly look like, so I did just a little minor tweeking in Photoshop and posted the ad. This is what it said:
Entertainer Seeks Same
I am a funloving, good natured fellow who needs to find his other half. I am not particular about looks, but do expect you to be presentable. I enjoy amusement parks, petting zoos and music. I have always felt different and I suspect my soulmate will identify with that. If you are out there, I am waiting.
That was two months ago, and I had forgotten it was even out there. Then I got this response:
RE: Entertainer Seeks Same
I am also an entertainer! You sound really cool... I think we might have a lot in common. Do you like children? I love children and have three of my own. When you say "presentable", what exactly do you mean? I have a, um... medical condition that forces me to wear a surgical mask in public from time to time. Hope that's not a problem! Look forward to hearing from you! MJ (Kingdom of Bahrain)
Isn't that strange? I don't know if I should respond or not. Bahrain is far away and long distance relationships are always hard. I'm gonna have the think about it. Click
