Personal Ads

I was surfing around on MSN.com today and saw their little link about 9 Amazing Celebrity Couples Who Beat the Odds just to see who they listed. I was thinking they were going to have some really lame shallow list with more recent married couples such as Brad Pitt/Jennifer Aniston and Michael Douglas/Catherine Zeta-Zones... but thankfully, they were smart and listed some older couples.

Anyway... that wasn't very interesting, so I looked to see what other interesting stuff they had on the page and I saw a little ad thing for match.com where you put in your sex, and the age/sex of the person you want to look for and your zip code and browse through personal ads.

I'm not really into looking for men since I have one I'm perfectly happy with right now, so I put in Woman seeking Woman and my zip... and clicked Search. I'm not GAY or BI... just not very interested in men in general. And plus, women are a hell of a lot more interesting than men are... so I don't mind reading ads by women.

There were plenty of everyday women in there that were bisexual/lesbian, or just bicurious... I can't believe how many good looking people are online looking for Mr. or Mrs. Right or Last Night. Some of these girls look like they'd have no problem finding someone in real life... so it just makes me wonder.

As I was scanning through the different ads, I mainly read the titles of their ads, and one really caught my eye...

WELCOME TO MY SWAMP

Okay, first of all... one could only misunderstand such an odd personal ad title. What could someone think it means? That you stink like a swamp? live in a swamp? own your own swamp? have a strange sexual fetish for swamps?

Nothing against the girl, but I thought to myself... "That has to be the grossest sounding personal ad title I've ever seen without having vulgar words in it." First of all she lived in Texas, where there aren't that many swamps... if she were from Louisiana or Mississippi or something... I'd SORT of understand. But anyway, think about it. Doesn't it sound really nasty? It's like saying..."I smell like a dead crab, but don't you wanna date me anyway?" or "This is one rathole you don't want to miss!" I hope she changes that title someday.. unless it's really getting her the attention she desires. I am SURE she meant something else by it anyway.
