Placing Distinguished Ads
Post date: 2006-06-27
Dear Michelle Valentine,
This may sound like a silly question, but it seems silly to ask for a 5'2" blonde with a great body. Should I? Actually, that would be great but a red head would, too. How do you ask for someone beautiful without getting into trouble?

Dear Al,
Being too specific about appearance can work against you. Unfortunately, preferences often look like requirements in an ad. Too many specifics about appearance may make you appear demanding or superficial to some wonderful women. For example, stating a preference for red heads in your ad may send the message, "no others need apply"-- and they won't. You may miss someone wonderful! Want someone thin? You may want to say "athletic" or "in shape" instead. Or WPTH (weight proportionate to height). Many thin women don't think they are. Besides, with all the neurosis about women's weight, the last thing they want is a perfectionist!
Amore till next week
