About me

Introduction I admit it. My guilty pleasure for the last, oh, lifetime, has been reading personal ads. It started innocently with newspaper personals and escalated to a closet hobby once the Internet sprang to life. I discovered I could combine my love of typos, non-sequiturs and irony with my passion for reading these unique little windows into the souls of perfect strangers. For a brief period I even thought I could find 'the one' by sifting through thousands of these mini-manuscripts and manifestos, but all I found were even funnier situations and emails to collect. And so it goes that I've become a bit of an online dating profile swat team in recent years. This blog is about a huge and ever growing collection of truly bad personal ads. The good news: There's no shortage. On any given day I can find an endless supply of unbelievable writings, pleadings and boastings. If I had a dime for every bad personal ad I've read, well, I'd be on a beach in Hawaii reading them off a fancy cell phone. Until then, I'll be here bringing you all the best of the worst from my PC. And who knows, if you've written something truly stupid, you may find yourself featured here. NEXT!
