Did I hear him yawn over the internet?

I don’t know what struck me about this ad, but it’s the only one I’ve actually answered so far. After his well-thought out post, and his request for a well-thought out reply, I either failed miserably or I caught him at a bad time.

Do you read personal ads and laugh? – 34

Well I do! I don’t need my daily joke page anymore. “I’m an out of work, out of shape, vagrant with unattractive privates looking for a rich person to support me and buy me crap, BTW I am saving myself for marriage” COME ON- ROFLMAO

Me on the other hand…..
I am well beyond the NSA stage in life and am looking for a woman of enough intelligence not to tell the world that she just wants to get laid. I would like to meet women who wants to develop friendships and monogamous relationships based on attraction and similarity. If I want a disease I can go to the CDC and hang out by the dumpster.

I am the 34 year old, divorced, male. Educated, successful business owner, full head of blonde hair, average build, …blah blah blah (I could tell you anything here and it really wont make a difference, like I’m going to claim to be fat, unemployed and stoned?? – Truth is I am none of those.) Hobbies include basic 34 year old guy crap: sports, local bars, reading stupid [personal] ads, fine dining (which has nothing to do with Applbee’s), whole bunch of other junk that makes me sound good to you. Basically I am single guy…you get the picture, I hope.

What I’m hoping to find: A single or divorced or otherwise not attached woman within 10 years of my age (34). My desires are that you are intelligent (yes that means you have education beyond 11th grade), employed (or otherwise self sufficient – while I make decent living I am not looking for a woman who cannot stand on her own 2 feet), attractive (I am fit, clean and good looking- I hope for the same; I understand that there are a lot of BBW’s in this world, but honestly I am not interested in dating someone whom is substantially overweight), goal oriented (have something in your life that you are hoping to achieve and be driven toward it), willing to try new things and share her interests (I have a ton of things I like to do and would love to share my fun times with you) – I could go on and on, but I think the right woman will get the picture.

I don’t use illegal drugs and will not tolerate them. I do drink socially. Yes- I have pictures of myself and am willing to email them. I would love to see your’s but that is not a prerequisite for my response- a well thought out reply is.

I feel like I know you already! LOL

Where’s your favorite place for fine dining?

Do you have children?

I’m 34, I don’t know about calling myself WELL-educated (graduated from a state univeristy) but I’m making my way through the business of life in a successful manner. I’m a bit of a smartass, but that’s my defense mechanism for all this intelligence that was supposedly instilled by the system of higher education.

Which would totally, like, you know, be the opposite of someone who is, like, perusing personal ads.

Hmmmm. Well-thought responses, out the window. And his custody arrangement is a little lacking.

I have two children, a girl and a boy. My favorite restaurant was a pizza place in Fort Lauderdale that has since closed. DAMMIT.

I have a pic, however, I’m about to go to bed and I am quite drowsy. Not to mention cold. I’m not happy about this weather.

You seem a little angry in your ad… are you just having bad dating luck or what? It was a funny ad nonetheless….

yeah usually, how about you? got a pic?

Funny posting, laced with exasperation, not a lot of interest in interacting other than to find out if I’m a hot babe. So much for his looking for a little intelligence. I think I’ll end this one here. I have obviously not floated this guy’s boat.
