Same here. I've posted three times looking for women in my area (Monterey Bay, CA, if you're interested!) who'd like to roleplay daddy/daughter. I got a handful of responses from thousands of miles away for email fun, but nothing I can put my hands on!
Of course, that may be a function of what I was asking for, but it sounds like it happens to others as well.

Random observation
I have never posted an add myself, although I've replied to my share. For some of those ads that garner few views and replies, I think it relates to the headlines. "Married man looking to make female my bitch" or "stud needz sum luv in ca" don't really allure the senses.
Those that do and are given a gander usually leave much to the imagination. One or two lines isn't gonna cut it. Describing yourself as 'hot' is weak. It also speaks poorly about one's personality. Add a little meat to your descriptions, both of yourself and what you're interested in doing (let's face it - leaving it a 'fun' doesn't go far in selling yourself either).
Not to be a critic. I haven't seen any of your ads in specific. But in general, that's what I've read on this board, and those are the first windows closed.

all I can say to your response is, I was plainly honest in my attempt at a post, hell it was a page long, I think for the most part not to many here are looking for any contact but mostly a little anonymous posting fun. Again, a shame since this board seemed to have more real people on it than most.

I posted a few ads, but the responses where not as inviting as I would have liked or had. I have been on other sites and they worked to a tee for me. It's a matter of online karma and ones attributes within I would imagine. Some places work and others do not as a friend scorned me about. Lit is not the end albe all (no, don't flame me!) and my best moments have been in person. I figure my energy is best in the physical then through digits. After all, don't we long for that touch and that sumptuous draw of another flesh? Being online and the possibility of meeting others can be wonderful and challenging, but in all there is Pandora's box and the seeds lay ripe with many pitfalls. It's also about finesse amongst other unknown factors, but keep plugging away and you may spring a leak. Dating is dating and all it entails, online or off…
P.S. That would be 100 posts for an AV.

umm what is an AV
I don't exactly know what an AV is exactly but at the same time I wasn't particularly looking for a posting quota of any kind. Personally Just looking for some connection with someone. Generally the folks at the lit are pretty real compared to many other sites I've kind of just been a viewer on.

This is just a suggestion for those of you who don't get much (or any) response to the personal ad you place. It might be good just to get out on the board and meet some people by posting to various threads, maybe sending PMs to people about their posts, etc. Most of the interesting people I've met on this site were people I got to know like that. That might not help you find someone for a real life encounter in your hometown right away, but you might meet some fun people while you check the personals. You might even get lucky and find the person you're looking for.

No Offense takin.. i just figured it was easier 4 girls then guys .. but still is the quality of person up to ur standards?!Zidane said:
Mel...
well I don't think my standards for a female are that high really. I like a girl who's pretty honest, funny, smart, intellectual. I found one recently online through literotica, sadly though she is somewhat far away. But as a whole, I don't think I have high expectations of what I want in a women really. (hope that didn't sound too bad, because it wasn't meant that way)

I've posted a couple personals many months ago. I got a couple email replies, but no solid folk I "clicked" with, ya know? Not to say they weren't intersting, just nothing substantial. Real neat Canadian gal once, though. But as for a successful personal, no, nothing.
Re: umm what is an AV

An Av is the little picture in the left hand column under a members name. Once you have a minimum of 30 posts--lit will authorize you to upload an Av.
The neat thing is that you get to select a photo, picture or even a toon which you think represents your personality/sexuality or just about anything.
BTW my desire to reach 30 posts as quickly as possible is not a quota...but a personal goal! Hugh difference.
see ya--

Postings ...
Hmmm...
Now there is something that I didn't know, you get to post a little avatar once you've hit the magic number of 30 ...
Hmmm .. that's almost like saying .. "don't trust anyone who has made less than 30 posts ...
It was interesting reading this thread, and seeing how most of the men were lamenting the fact that posting in the personals section doesn't bring that great a response. I tend to agree with the person who posted somewhere in here that to get a response to your personals, you have to be more interesting than just a one liner.
I know that I tend to skip over threads that look like they are uninteresting ... I think getting a good thread going that is interesting and entertaining is probably the best way to meet people on this board ...
It's the same way in real life ... if you are a dull person, or don't have anything interesting to say ... nobody is going to be interested ...
Am I wrong here?

I think you're right, Vadventure. I'm also trying to reach 30 posts . I tried a personal, and it was just interesting enough to get some replies, but not interesting enough to generate people interested in me. I think the best way to meet people through this forum is going to be through relationships started from observing someone talking about something besides themselves and what they want (ie, a personal ad), realizing you have something in common, both contributing to the same thread, PMing, meeting, etc.
I also think AVs are probably a big help.

I also haven't gotten any replies from the personal ad I read and replied to. Come on, people! I'm more interesting than Carmen Electra naked playing an Xbox on a HDTV while driving a McLaren F1 through a giant, burning hoop and singing Carmina Burana.
...Well, ok, maybe not, but I'm more interesting than Al Gore fully clothed using an Apple 2 while driving a Ford Escort down I-45 while giving a lecture on taxes.
Really.

I read your personal ad, heterotic. Interesting, to say the least (nice drawing though - and in relation to your ad, I guess a picture does speak a thousand words). Not my cup of tea, but good luck to ya!
And I hate to burst anyone's bubble, but I believe it's 100 posts to put up an AV. Not a diffiicult task if you involve yourselves in the multitude of threads on this site though.
