Well now I am not typical but I say ---- if you want a thinker try putting together a short pithy aliterative message using only "S" (eg but some letters work better than others). You could try in rhyme - a limerick would get the humorous kind of person. Raunchy would work but would you want the kinda moths it attracts? It can be effective but needs more care. Positive words, no negatives. Say what you want and what you offer (but keep it short). Try two different approaches as different people - eg Margaret & Maggie

At the end of the day you have to be true to yourself or sustain the personna lest the respondant will be looking for more falsehoods. As Bill D said.

In my limited experience - personal ads, e-contacts and other remote contacts do not give you that intuitive view that comes from an "eyeball". AND there is far, far more fickleness because they are doing a peppershot approach too and there is little cost in trying iffy decisions - and dropping them without notice or thanks. It shouldnt stop anything but it does need to be in the back of your mind - for your own self-image.

FWIW I bumped into a friend who was about to meet a "target". I thought it was a hoot to wait and walk past and from behind him give a simple verdict. Not sure it helped her - she was active enough as it was.
