How to Write a Great Personal Ad or Profile that Will Draw in the Guys

Sometimes it's not just being lonely and bored that can make you seek an internet romance. It is the anonymity of it all. You know that you never have to meet each other and this makes you really open up and spices up your days. But is there a magic formula for writing a personal ad or a profile that will get the guys desperate? And forget about posting sexy photos of yourself. You'll only bring in the rotten fish.

Anjana, a very attractive woman has no intentions of getting into another romance (having got almost rid of a bad marriage). But she would love to build traffic for her website and break some more heart. So she decided to have a little bit of fun and posted this personal ad at a Singles Club on the internet:

"I long for an internet romance. I am separated, have a seven year old son and I have been a model for many years. I have spent a long time in advertising and am a published writer. I'm gorgeous, and regularly do yoga (no one can say I'm 40). I'd love a man - any age really (not beyond 55 though) who's blonde with blue eyes and has a nice flat stomach and a kissable mouth I may never ever get to kiss. That's part of the fun. "

Anjana added that guys could check out her pictures on her website.

Anjana gets a couple of guys writing to her every week and traffic to her site has grown considerably and so has her self esteem. She believes it's her honesty that has impressed her admirers most.

Alas, most of them are bald and not good looking at all. Some of them bemoan the fact that they are not blonde. One says he has dirty blonde hair and another confesses to have a kissable mouth but also a paunch. Here's a sample of the kind of letters she gets:

A paunchy businessman from Italy:

She: I'd love to check out Italy.
He: Good! Check in at the airport!
She: And I'd love a picture of you.
He: Bad! Check up your brain! Or send me a disclaimer for any eyes or nervous injury you might be suffering after sight! Signed by a notary public of course...
She: You might have seen my picture on my homepage.
He: I have! Yesterday afternoon. And last night I had a nightmare! You flew down with your personal jet, landing in the corn field in front of my house!

Then there's an American who says he lives in a seaside home and has another deep in the forests and threatens to fly over to see her or send her a ticket and they only know each other for four letters!

Although she fantasises about accepting a ticket to 'Sunny California', giving him the slip, having a great time and coming back safely home, she doesn't think she can pull off a scam like that. What if he finds her on the plane? Maybe she'll disguise herself. But she can't change her name. You see, he's got a receding hairline and looks like Ikobod Crane of 'The Legend of Sleepy Hollow'.

See what I mean? An internet romance is going to be great fun. Just don't get all emotionally entangled or yield your address or phone number... or credit card details.
