There's a meme going around my friends list:
Several of my friends have posted theirs. And my reaction keeps being some variation of "I'd answer that, if I had any room for another relationship." "Some variation" because, for example, the delightful![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
livredor specified a willingness to relocate. Even some of the ones that haven't prompted that reaction have left me wondering why this counts as unappealing. But that's because I don't think in terms of dating or personal ads: with one friend, my reaction was that it was probably fair warning about relationships, but if I didn't already know her, I'd want to.
So while I'm not going to try to sweep all you delightful women off your feet, singly or collectively, I am glad to have you as my friends.
The rules: Write yourself a dating ad.
1) It has to make you sound as unappealing as possible
2) It has to be honest - you can't lie at all
3) It can't sound as though you're deliberately making yourself sound unappealing.
