weyes Posted June 25 Report Share Posted June 25 my roommate leaves them lying around, and, i've gotta say that they're intriguing, just 'cause they're so disturbing. to paraphrase: "seeking girl with really long hair - call me!" wtf? but here's my question: why do so many people say they like long walks on the beach? is it because amidst the crashing waves no one can hear you scream, in the vastness of it all you can get lost, and in the sand, you cannot run fast enough to escape the grasp of these people ? i don't care if you'd "love me for who i am" - you're sketchy.

vicman Posted June 25 Report Share Posted June 25 i also like the "I've Seen You" type of ads, they usuually go like:"Jane, spoke to you on the Metro to work, early in the morning. Your eyes dazzled me but I was a clutz for not asking you for your #. Coffee?"they always end in "coffee" or "tea" or "lunch"...me and one of my old roomeates use to go through them everyweek and have a riot laughing at some of them. she always tried to convince me to resply to one of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of them are middle-aged people looking for love in all the wrong places Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nourishment Posted June 25 Report Share Posted June 25 Have you seen the personals on CP? Talk about some scary shit. I thought at least they'd be clubbing personals, but I was seriously mistaken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weyes Posted June 26 Author Report Share Posted June 26 actually, gmc, that's whats so crazy about the pennysaver - where i was reading these; some of the ads are from people as young as 20. i, too, always picture those peeps as middle-aged men and women with poor communication skills who are afraid of being alone and are using these ads as a last resort.nourishment - i had no idea that there are personals on cp !!! i'll have to check that out!!!a friend of mine told me a while back he was thinking of putting out a personal ad. he's the most amazing man i've ever known; he's got all of the qualities i want in a friend and would want in a mate for life (honest, open, fun, caring, intelligent, clever), but there's no attraction - very unfortunate . seriously, i've really tried to think of him in that way 'cause i love him so much and he's so terrific, but i can't. and i don't think he could think of me that way, either. i also think he's gay and doesn't know it, but that's another issue...he's 34 and i think he's getting the "i'm getting on in years to still be single" thing, which is why he was thinking about putting out an ad. but it breaks my heart to think that he thinks he needs to put out an ad in order for someone to find and appreciate him.
