I like the idea of personal ads. I’d rather cut my toes off than place one, for obvious reasons, but the idea of summarising yourself in 30 words or however many is appealing.
How would you summarise yourself? Would you do the usual, or be fun and wacky, try to look intelligent, straightforward and self deprecating? What kind of look would you go for on the pic?
As someone who firmly believes in ‘first impressions’, I think ads can tell you absolutely everything you need to know about a person. So who are you all?

I think this is a fantastic question, and a great thread starter. Hope you don’t mind if I split it off…
Why? You posted it in Open, and I think it’s a great topic. Why don’t we wait to see how the thread progresses? If any of the other Open moderators feel it’s of only TEMPorary value then so be it…
I’ll bet some Forumosans have posted personals ads, and will share them with us. I posted a few back in my college days, mostly for fun, and will try to dig them up or reconstruct them.
Your wolf like eyes, a greenish brown, fix me through the long tufts of grass. You raise your tail, I sniff your arse, you bound high, leaping and landing, leaping and landing, I bark, just once, then we run in a circle, you first, I follow, you first, I follow. Now it’s my turn.
There is a book published about funny personal ads.
Here is an example:
Angry, simple-minded, balding, partially blind ex-circus flipper boy with a passion for covering lovers in sour cream and gravy seeks exotic, heavily tattooed piercing fanatic, preferably hairy, either sex, for whippings, bizarre sex and fashion consulting. No freaks.

Remember that summer you spent with your parents in Hawaii and how mad you were that they made you go? And how you were hopelessly bored until you saw the most gorgeous man you’d ever encountered strolling down the beach looking at you, skillfully removing your skimpy bikini with his piercing eyes? And how you spent the last month imagining him taking you in every possible way, masturbating feverishly day and night, wishing he would reappear, but he never did because you were 15 and he would have gone to jail? That was me, and you just turned 18.
