- by KissMeGoodnight.com
Personals ads and in particular Internet personals
ads are becoming the wave of the future in dating. More and
more people are meeting online and through personals ads and
these services are becoming a booming business. Gone are the
singles ads of yesterday with phrases such as SWF seeks SWM.
Today’s personals ads are witty, informative and hopefully
effective. If you want to keep up on the current dating
scene, you will have to learn all about the world of personals
ads. There are a few key points to placing a personals ads which
include being honest, being witty and including action phrases
that will attract attention to your ad and make it stand out
from the rest.
One
key phrase to incorporate into your next personals ad is,
“long term relationship”. This phrase is perfect because
it conveys a sense of commitment. This phrase lets people know
that you are committed to finding an enduring relationship
and that you are not just looking for a fling. Sure there may
be those reading your ad that are turned off by this phrase
but as long as you maintain your honesty you won’t include
phrases that don’t express what you really desire in a relationship.
“No
baggage,” is another effective phrase to use in placing
your next personals ad. This phrase lets readers know that
you are completely free of attachments such as a spouse or
children. Again, there may be those that are looking for a
relationship with someone who already has children but the
majority of people who use personals ads to meet people are
looking for someone who is free of other commitments.
You
can spice up your next personals ad with the phrase, “Active
and adventurous”. This phrase is beneficial for a couple of
reasons. Active has the connotation of someone who is in shape
because the reader of the ad equates active with physically
fit. The word adventurous leads the reader to believe that
you are romantic and daring which can be very intriguing.
“Honest”
is another word that should be included in all personals
ads. It is very unlikely that there are people out there who
are looking for dishonest partners so letting people know that
you are honest is very beneficial. It’s important to not only
incorporate the word honest into your ad but to also make sure
that the rest of your ad is extremely honest so that the person
responding to the ad doesn’t get a sense of a lack of honesty
in your ad.
Another
action phrase to include in your next personals ad is,
“Great personality”. These words let the reader know that
meeting you will be well worthwhile because you have a truly
magnificent personality. It is also a great phrase to use because
it indicates that you understand the value of personality in
a relationship.
“Enjoys
travel,” is another action phrase to include in your
next personals ad. Reading this phrase creates the image that
the person placing the ad is well traveled and sophisticated
and this is appealing to many. It also invokes a sense of adventure
which many find appealing as well.
Additionally if
you are seeking responses to your ad from a certain demographic
group you may want to incorporate a phrase
that illustrates this. For example if you are looking to meet
single women of Russian descent, you may include a phrase such
as, “Seeks single, Russian women”. This may seem overly simplistic
but because it is so clear, it will most likely produce the
desired effect of receiving the majority of responses from
single, Russian women.
If
you have a love of food and enjoy exploring new restaurants,
you may want to include a phrase such as, “Enjoys fine dining,”
to let reader of your ad know that dining out is an activity
you enjoy. This phrase can be advantageous for a couple of
reasons. First, dining out is first date activity that many
people enjoy so knowing that a dinner date is likely if they
go out with you may result in a greater number of responses
to your ad. Second, the use of the word fine in the description
leads people to believe that you enjoy expensive restaurants
and this can be very appealing to many readers of your ad.
Those
who enjoy physical activity and keeping in shape, may
include a phrase such as, “Fit and active,” to convey this
message. This phrase can affectively lead to you receiving
responses from those who have a similar interest in fitness.
While the term fit clearly means you are in good shape and
may result in a large volume of responses from those interested
in meeting someone in shape, the addition of the term active
may greatly diminish the volume of responses and affectively
weed out those that are not interested in an active lifestyle.
An extremely effective action phrase that you can use in your
next personals ad is, “Ask me anything.” This simple phrase
can lead to a multitude of responses to your ad. This simple
phrase lets others know that you are honest, adventurous and
open to sharing details about yourself.
The personals ads may be a great place to meet a potential
partner. An ad that is written honestly and incorporates a
few eye catching action phrases is likely to attract a lot
of attention and responses. Try to use phrases that are not
only attention grabbing but also an accurate representation
of your personality. Incorporating phrases just because you
think they will elicit a large response can result in many
responses from people who are not suitable companions.
