A brand new blog!

I've been contemplating doing this for some time now. I remember spending a few lazy weekend afternoons with friends at the bar thumbing through the local weekly paper. This paper has a personal ads section. Actually, it has two sections. One contained your standard, run of the mill personal ads. But the section we always enjoyed was the “spicy personals” section. We would read the spicy ones and always have a good laugh. It was a damn good time.

I recently found myself perusing the spicy personals and thought it might be fun to dedicate a blog to personal ads. Not just the spicy ones, mind you, because even the tame ones can be pretty damn funny.

I present my new blog. I will be going through the local rags and some popular Internet sites (Yahoo, for example) for my material. I will try my best to give all groups attention (women seeking men, men seeking women, women seeking women, men seeking men, plus the other varieties), but I imagine the majority of my entries will be women seeking men, since I’m a man and I have a better perspective in that area.

Before you get your undies in a bunch, let me say that I am well aware that these people are lonely and are out on a limb by advertising in a newspaper or on the Internet for a relationship. It’s downright gutsy. Believe me, I’m thankful I’m not in the position to have to do so myself. I don’t think less of anyone that uses personal ads to try to find love. Hey, to each his own. I’m only having fun with the text of the ads. So leave me alone.
