Are all the single women who use personals desperate, unattractive, psychotic, or nerds ?
From personal
experience, I can give you a definite "no" to this
one.
There are many reasons for a woman to use personal ads. It may be
that she can't meet guys any other way. But it may also be that
she's really gorgeous and wants a chance to meet a guy who'll get to
know her before finding out what she looks like. It may be that
she's just shy. It may be that she has a busy career and has no
other good way of meeting people. It may be that she's got kids and
doesn't have much chance to get out. It may be that she is highly
intelligent and has a hard time finding intelligent men in her
everyday life. It may be that she's stuck in the middle of nowhere
with few men around. Maybe she's just trying this for the fun of it.
Or maybe she just likes computers.
There are many good reasons to use personals ads. There's nothing
at all weird about a woman doing something like this.
Are all the men who use online personals desperate, unattractive,
psychotic, or nerds?
I've personally known two other guys who've done this and they're
okay guys. And I don't think I'm all that bad myself. For example,
how many "nerds" or "losers" do you know who practice karate,
skydive, ride horses, and own their own businesses?
As for "desperate," well there have been times when I've been
desperate for company, but I've had a number of lovers in my
lifetime. I've even turned down women who wanted to be with me. I'm
a little shy but I've usually done okay.

much chance to get out. It may be that he has a hard time finding
intelligent women in his everyday life. Or it may be that he's just
trying something like this for the hell of it, just to see what
happens.
Basically, there are many good reasons to use personal ads.
There's nothing at all weird about a man using something like this.
It's just one more way of meeting people, and a pretty good one if
you do things right!
Okay, You say there are lots more men than women. That's great if
you're a woman, but what if you're a man? Are you screwed or what?
Absolutely not. You do have a challenge here, but it's not hard
to overcome if you're intelligent and put a little effort into it.
The real secret for you is to make sure to post your ad, but there
are other things you can do. Don't worry, man, you can do it. The
world expects us to do the pursuing most of the time, and that's
true for ads as it is anywhere else, but we can manage.
