My days are great and full and I don't take time out each day to check email and write back and forth endlessly with people I've never met.
If your days are so full that you don't have time to check email, why are you looking for new friends? Why are you posting an online personal ad where email is the only means of communication?
You would think a woman who doesn't want to write back and forth endlessly would include lots of information about herself so potential suitors would know whether or not they should respond to her ad. She supplied three pieces of information about herself: she's 37, has liberal political views, and dislikes the Bush Administration. I don't need any more information. I've found my soulmate.
What is this woman looking for in a man?
Female--37 seeks reasonable, loving, responsible male age 34 - 44...I am one version of the real deal looking for the real deal in a single male friend and partner:
For the purpose of this post "real deal" is defined as-- single, marriage-minded, goal-oriented, intelligent, athletic, healthy, fit, attractive, non-smoker, light social drinker, well-educated, non-addict (alcohol,cigarette, or other)...You are comfortable in torn jeans doing house projects or yard work and you also have ties to die for the occassion calls for it.
She's not asking for much, especially for an ad in the Strictly Platonic section. I know how important it is for my friends to be attractive, athletic, and marriage-minded. Apparently this woman missed the Women Seeking Men section, which would be more appropriate if you're looking for marriage instead of friendship. By the way, what the hell does goal-oriented mean anyway? It sounds like a BS corporate slang term, and I find corporate slang to be a big turnoff.
I have some bad news for this woman. Any man who fits all your criteria could find someone younger and hotter than you, somebody young enough to have his children without going to a fertility clinic.
Now let's look at the end of the ad.
If you'd like to know more about me and your, marriage-minded, please tell me about yourself and send a photo.
I have to send a photo, but I'm supposed to believe her when she says she's attractive. I have to tell her about myself, but she doesn't have to tell me anything other than she's liberal and dislikes George W. Bush. I'm not sure how I would learn more about her since she dislikes email chat. She's also too busy to check her email. I can't believe she hasn't found anyone who wants to spend the rest of his life with her.
What's sad is that this ad is a typical ad from a single woman in the Cleveland area age 25-45 , which happens to be the age range of people interested in a 36 year old man.
