Placing Personals Ads
Personals ads and in particular Internet personals ads are
becoming the wave of the future in the dating scene. Many people
are meeting online and through personals ads and these services
are becoming a thriving business. Gone are the singles ads of
yesterday with phrases such as SWF seeks SWM. Today's personals
ads are witty, informative and hopefully effective. If you want
to keep up on the current dating scene, you will have to learn
all about the world of personals ads. Remember, the more
information you give about yourself, the more likely someone
will realize they have something in common with you. Most
personal ad sites have a lot of information sections for you to
fill out. However, some ask quite a lot of questions and ask for
a lot of "in your own words..." type answers. Don't be
overwhelmed with these, just fill in the required sections to
start with. You can always make changes later.
You can spice up your next personals ad with the phrase, "Active
and adventurous". This phrase is beneficial for a couple of
reasons. Active has the connotation of someone who is in shape
because the reader of the ad equates active with physically fit.
The word adventurous leads the reader to believe that you are
romantic and daring which can be very intriguing.
One key phrase to incorporate into your next personals ad is,
"long term relationship". This phrase is perfect because it
conveys a sense of committment. This phrase lets people know
that you are committed to finding an enduring relationship and
that you are not just looking for a quick fling. Sure there may
be those reading your ad that are turned off by this phrase but
as long as you maintain your honesty you won't include phrases
that don't express what you really desire in a relationship.
"No baggage," is another effective phrase to use in placing your
next personals ad. This phrase lets readers know that you are
completely free of attachments such as a spouse or children.
Again, there may be those that are looking for a relationship
with someone who already has children but the majority of people
who use personals ads to meet people are looking for someone who
is free of other commitments.
"Honest" is another word that should be included in all
personals ads. It is very unlikely that there are people out
there who are looking for dishonest partners so letting people
know that you are honest is very beneficial. It's important to
not only incorporate the word honest into your ad but to also
make sure that the rest of your ad is extremely honest so that
the person responding to the ad doesn't get a sense of a lack of
honesty in your ad.
Another action phrase to include in your next personals ad is,
"Great personality". These words let the reader know that
meeting you will be well worthwhile because you have a truly
magnificent personality. It is also a great phrase to use
because it indicates that you understand the value of
personality in a relationship.
"Enjoys travel," is another action phrase to include in your
next personals ad. Reading this phrase creates the image that
the person placing the ad is well traveled and sophisticated and
this is appealing to many. It also invokes a sense of adventure
which many find appealing as well.
Additionally if you are seeking responses to your ad from a
certain demographic group you may want to incorporate a phrase
that illustrates this. For example if you are looking to meet
single women of Australian descent, you may include a phrase
such as, "Seeks single, Australian women". This may seem overly
simplistic but because it is so clear, it will most likely
produce the desired effect of receiving the majority of
responses from single, Australian women.
If you have a love of food and enjoy exploring new restaurants,
you may want to include a phrase such as, "Enjoys fine dining,"
to let reader of your ad know that dining out is an activity you
enjoy. This phrase can be advantageous for a couple of reasons.
First, dining out is first date activity that many people enjoy
so knowing that a dinner date is likely if they go out with you
may result in a greater number of responses to your ad. Second,
the use of the word fine in the description leads people to
believe that you enjoy expensive restaurants and this can be
very appealing to many readers of your ad.
Those who enjoy physical activity and keeping in shape, may
include a phrase such as, "Fit and active," to convey this
message. This phrase can affectively lead to you receiving
responses from those who have a similar interest in fitness.
While the term fit clearly means you are in good shape and may
result in a large volume of responses from those interested in
meeting someone in shape, the addition of the term active may
greatly diminish the volume of responses and affectively weed
out those that are not interested in an active lifestyle.
An extremely effective action phrase that you can use in your
next personals ad is, "Ask me anything." This simple phrase can
lead to a multitude of responses to your ad. This simple phrase
lets others know that you are honest, adventurous and open to
sharing details about yourself.
The personals ads may be a great place to meet a potential
partner. An ad that is written honestly and incorporates a few
eye catching action phrases is likely to attract a lot of
attention and responses. Try to use phrases that are not only
attention grabbing but also an accurate representation of your
personality. Incorporating phrases just because you think they
will elicit a large response can result in many responses from
people who are not suitable companions.
