Internet Personal ads, you be the judge

Has anyone out there ever placed a personal advertisement for themself on the internet? was it worthwhile? what kind of people replied? D you think that it is a decent way of meeting people?

I've only been on one once, when a friend of mine put my name a profile up without my knowledge. It was dissappointing and simultaneously embarrassing

Hamish, you'd be our resident expert on internet relationships wouldn't you? I guess you are all just too scared ...

sorry mene, i've never had an internet relationship and i've never placed a personal advertisement for myself nor replied to one. i've led a sheltered life. will you post a link to your ad?

I never saw the ad, I never knew until it was too late. I just got barraged with replies from people who thought I was feisty because I am a red head.

fantastic, how I wish I could compete, maybe my ad should have been racier? or perhaps my friend screened out the really juicy ones?

I did, and I got laid and everything. She was ginger, but one has to make sacrifices from time to time.

red headed women look ok - this is not self aggrandisement, i have semi red, semi blonde hair so it was charitable for my friend to call me a red head. Red headed men however, most of them are not great looking.

My friend went on a date after she posted an ad on the net. Or did she respond to one? I can't remember. But it didn't turn out to be her Romeo. I don't know if they became friends. Actually I am off to ask her.

One of my friends has switched to internet dating and speaks very highly of it. She says she's up to number 8.

Not personal ads per se, but I met my ex in an internet chat room, and have met a lot of other people, had dates, and gotten laid that way as well. So I say "ace".
