Is there any point in posting a Man for Woman ad?

31 May 2004

I see there are about a billion new man for woman adverts a day, which seems to fit in with the abundance of spare single males round here.
Would I be wasting my time by posting one there myself, or do women actually reply to them?

31 May 2004

I personally dont think there is much point. rolleyes

If you're a single guy looking for a single woman, wouldn't you be better off looking on dating sites? dunno

31 May 2004

well - I never said I was single!
I think I'll stick with my man for couples advert and see if I get any interest (apart from the TV guy that responded all in caps the very second I posted it of course)

31 May 2004

Mmmm so you're a married/attached guy looking for couples? rolleyes

31 May 2004

indeed - and why not?

31 May 2004

Why not indeed? lol

My fave person on here is a TV, and she would never dream of replying in caps lock rolleyes

31 May 2004

of course, have nothing against TVs, all the ones I know are lovely, it's just funny that the only reply I got was from the least appropriate person possible if you compare it to what I was actually asking for :-)

Go on? Give us a clue? rolleyes

Wot's your ad number? :shock: :shock:

Yes, they do. Maybe not a lot, but when I used to have a man-seeking-women ad I used to get the odd reply to it... probably about 1 reply about every 6 weeks. Which isn't bad, I think! (Beat the pants off what I achieved from replying to other people's ads at any rate, but that's Another Story and I am quite determined to Not Go There Again.)

Nice answer Roger lol

I actually sent my first reply to an ad a couple of days ago, no response so far! :cry: :cry:
But hey! He might be a bit shy too? dunno

31 May 2004

well, once in a long while is definitely betterr than nothing at all... will come up with a m4w ad when I'm a bit more awake ;-)

Don't know what all the fuss is about... The number of people who have answered my ad is equal to the number of people who have read it. rotflmao

Seriously though, the ladies are spoilt for choice so you have to stand out (take that as literally as you like, it's a varied audience ;) ), give them a reason to answer YOUR ad before the others. smile

Haven't placed an ad yet, I'm quite happy getting to know people through PMs, and of course the munches biggrin

but I daresay I'll get around to it eventually.
And what have you got to lose? Your ad is hosted FOC so you get to be famous for nothing! How cool is that? biggrin

K'plaH!

You've hit the nail right on the head Ice.
Dont cost a bean to be here, so why all the whingers? dunno

31 May 2004

I hope no-one thought I was whinging, just a genuine newbie question.

31 May 2004

I didn't think you were whinging mister, I just thought Roger's and Ice's replies were good one's! redface

dating sites you have to pay to send emails usually...

yes - I got caught out by one of those called edoggers before I found this place. Someone replied to my ad, but it would cost me a tenner to read it!
Oh, and since novice1 asked, my ad is number 97364 :-)
