The rules: Write yourself a dating ad.

1) It has to make you sound as unappealing as possible
2) It has to be honest - you can't lie at all
3) It can't sound as though you're deliberately making yourself sound unappealing.



My face is strong rather than pretty. I am not built for speed. My ancestors were Polish peasants, French Canadian settlers, Scots, and Cree Indians; I am built to survive hard work, childbirth and moderate famine. I don’t have monogamous relationships. I laugh really loud. I am forty-six. There is silver in my hair. My hair is what most people first notice about me and it is impossible- it’s very thick and it attacks.

I’m not particularly interested in keeping a neat, tidy living environment. I have a houseful of teenagers, mine and other people’s, and I like it that way. I don’t put a very high value on things. This means your things, too. I don’t like locking things. I will drink out of your drink. I often don’t know what looks good on me, and what doesn’t.

I am extremely competent, but I sometimes take on too much and fumble the ball. I’m ruled by my senses. If you tell me that you don’t mind, I will assume that you don’t mind. I don’t care much for conventions or what other people think about me, so there’s a good chance that I will embarrass you.

I like to talk before sex, and after sex, and, well, I guess during sex, too. When I fall in love, I very rarely fall out again. Most likely, I will interrupt you while you are talking. I will want to get into your head, and when I am there I will be like a cat – purring, stretching out, nuzzling and making myself at home, and sometimes completely ignoring you. I will ask for your opinion but will rarely follow your advice. I’m a bit of a nut.

You sound like yourself like an interesting appealing person. But then, I've met you in person and read about your life for years.

I was thinking that this might make an interesting alt.poly thread, so I'm off to post there!

And how, exactly, is this supposed to scare anyone off?

*chuckle* Did I tell you anything you didn't already know?

Pith is key in personal ads.

"Moody brunette with no libido and boundary issues, 23, seeks neurotic nerd to emasculate."
That'll do me!

That.Is.UNCANNY.

Amazing, to say the least. I think I'm going to try that. This might hurt a little...
