What works with ads?

[Guest]

How does a guy get the attention of ladies out of this ocean of ads? So many people looking to hook up, so many guys wanting to meet someone for intimacy. But is it actually working? How many people have actually met through these personals? Were you happy with the results? Was it what you expected or hoped for? And what are the odds of a woman to answer an ad with the intention of actually meeting a guy?

I've made a couple of half-hearted attempts in the past on a few other sites, but I know that women get the lion's share of responses compared to men. I'm looking from a little education from the more experienced on this subject. Any takers?

I havent' read any of your ads, but I can tell you what doesn't work for me.

~An ad that delves immediately into the "wanna fuck" scenario.
~vulgarity or rudeness. Yes. This is a porn site, but the women here still expect to be treated with respect.
~Opening correspondance with pm's or e mails that are a cut and pasted erotic story. I don't read them.
~when someone wants a pic before getting to know a bit about who I am. That indicates to me that our priorities are a bit different.
~I hate when someone tries to impress me with how large their cock is! Groan!

What does work for me:
~demonstrating some interest in "who" I am.
~sense of humor
~finding common interests other than sex.
~an ad, pm or e mail that reeks of sincerity and honesty.
~ a sense of humor.
~sharing a bit about "who" you are.
~a sense of humor.

Oh~ and did i mention a good sense of humor!

Good luck and I hope I have been helpful.

A small detail, but an important one: leave contact information. I've seen several ads lately where the person posting was unregistered and didn't leave an email address, which meant anybody answering was going to have to leave a response on the board. It's better to provide interested people with a way to contact you privately, without having to post their own personal information and email address for everyone on the personals board to read. Particularly for women, posting an email address on the personals board means getting a lot of unsolicited email.

I've posted an ad here, and 1 person responded. We haven't met...yet, but she has become one of the best friends I ever had.
