How not to write a personal ad...

I know I'm not the only one perusing online dating sites and I come across so many awful profiles. I thought it could be funny to post some of the worst ones here! This is the one that gave me this idea:

Just looking around.And Please, no more Drama. Just want to see whats available. I will write if I can. Im not sure about this.They want me to write more, but Im not sure what to write. I dont even know if I can write enough to get a profile.I am newly divorced and just checking things out. I have been out of the buiness for quite some time. I see you.This whole dating thing sucks. I think Im going to become a hermit lol


Doesn't he sound like a fun guy?? I'm just dying to meet him!

The "newly divorced" would raise a red flag for me. Sorry Dee, but he doesn't sound so good.

Well, he obviously has no writing or language skills. That's for starters.

If a girl wrote that ad, would YOU date HER? Seriously???

I gathered that from the title of the thread, lol. I had thought about starting a thread like this after I saw a doozy....If I find it again, I'll post it.

ETA: Found it, it wasn't his profile, it was a msg he sent me. I've bolded the entertaining parts:

wow,,,u sound a lil bit different from others,,,honestly more serious and focused than most other ladies,,,,i do stopby here just read and laugh by wat a lot of ppl here both male n female writes but strangely u made a huge impression on me and dats i took a 2nd look and read ur profile again,,,,wow,i tink ur unique,,,be proud of it girl,,,,never think serious minded ppl can be here as i see here like fun place to see different ideas expressed in profiles,,,,think am impressed well,i will like to kno u more,,,u kno wat,,,just call me,basically after 8pm as i get off 730pm,,,i do a 12hr shit,,,so call me from 8pm-9pm and am available,,i dnt mind giving u my nos as i think u sound maturedly but u hv my mandate to call me ok,,,, till i hear from u back ok,,,,virginboy (***)***-****

All the other stuff aside, WHAT'S WITH ALL THE COMMAS?? If you can't tell between a period and a comma, the problem is much more serious than we thought.

No, way. There's no way anybody would type like that. Maybe he was trying to make you laugh or something. Is this for real?

Hilarious. When I hit that part of the message I started choking on my drink and laughing. I was not expecting that one.
