Like most of us I’m a keen observer of human behaviour,
though that’s not to say that I actually understand it any better than anyone
else.
I understand men well enough but there’s two points to that…
Firstly I’m not actually interested in men…
Second, they’re not actually that hard to understand anyway.
It’s like saying that I completely know how to open a chip packet…yeah, brag
on!
I’m also extremely sceptical, so although I read them, I’ve
never actually answered one of those personal adverts in newspapers. No, not the ‘Beautiful woman looking for a
good time for a small cash reward’ type advert… the other kind…and it seems
that those women are all looking for the same bloke.
They're all into gardening, cooking and the arts, they all
like walks/drives in the country, cosy nights in front of the fire, going to
the theatre… and men.
Let me be a little more specific here, they like non
smoking, non drinking, employed, healthy professional men with their own hair, no
ties and lots of spare time.
Could it be that all these ads are placed by just one
deranged field dwelling, log burning, stage door groupie who entices desperate
men away from their mothers only to discard them like the little bits of left
over soap that you think you can collect and squidge together into a whole bar
again, but never can, and end up throwing away just before Christmas when your
folks come to visit?
Having read quite a lot of these ‘interesting’ ads I'm
beginning to understand the code in which they are written. Here then is a
guide to personal ads, a cheat sheet that you will no doubt print and keep in
your wallet.
