Actually, I hate to say this, but at one time i tried putting up a fake ad on lavalife using a photo of a male model cropped from some website. (Sorry buddy.)

I made the guy fairly shallow, his grammar terrible (not that mine is any hell.) I also made him a smoker, and talk quite a bit about "clubbing" in the ad. I used tems like "ladies" which i think is derogatory, etc, etc. He was not a "nice" guy" to say the least.

I never worked the ad, that is to say, i didn't send out any smiles or messages, just sat around to see what would happen.

And guess what, he got mail, and hits. Quite a few actually. When i set his income level to $75,000 plus, the hits soared.

I would respond to the letters and even took it a step further saying that he was married. Guess what.

Him being married only threw off maybe 25% or 30% of the women. The rest still wanted to meet this guy, or confessed that they already had a boyfriend and were "seeing what's out there", didn't think that their current boyfriends were "the one", or their "soulmates" Blah blah blah.

That experience left quite an impression with me.
