How many times have read a paper/magazine and come across
the Personal ads?
How many times have you looked at a Personals ad on the
internet?
How many times have you wanted to reply to one?
And how many times have you wanted to write one but didn't
know where to start?
Worry not.
Here are all the tips you need to write your own personal
ad and how to reply to one.
Writing an Ad
What are you looking for?
Write a list of all the things you are looking for in
a man/woman. For example, tall/short, sporty, pretty/handsome,
rich, old/young. Now cut the list up. For example, looking
for tall, handsome rich guy in his mid 20's. Personal's
usually only allow so many words so it is important
that you put the most important things that you are
looking for in a Woman/Man instead of trivia bits such
as, must have blonde hair, blue eyes etc..
Who are you?
Now do the same again but write a list that you think
best describes you. (Honesty is the best policy.)
How old are you? Are you thin, petite, big build? Are
you tall/short etc.. Now narrow the list down to a small
description of yourself.
Your interests
What do you like to do? Have you got an amazing hobby?
People that read personal ads are looking for a potential
partner so they will want to know if you have anything
in common with them. Again write a short list of the
things that you are interested in. Don't just write
that you like quiet nights in and out, so does everyone.
Make it clear exactly what you like such as, ice skating,
art (maybe write the name of your favorite artist.)
Concentrate on what you like, that way you will attract
a woman/man that is interested in the same things as
you.
Make your ad stand out
Most personal ads look and sound the same. Why not make
your ad stand out from others. Write your ad in the
form of a poem. Add some humor. Use song lyrics. There
are many ways in which you can make your ad stand out
you just have to ad a bit of imagination.
Honesty is the best policy
The most important thing when describing yourself is
honesty. You are who you are and you will only
attract a woman/man who wants the person you have described.
Which means you could lose out if you are not honest
from the start.
