Lighten Up With the Funniest Personal Ads

Here is how this post is going to help you: It's going to help you not take yourself so seriously and lighten up! Online dating is such a stressful business; you have to devote so much time to it. Let these ads teach you to have a sense of humor about the whole thing.

(And by the way, "a sense of humor" is one of the highest traits for both men and women when they're asked "What do you seek out in a partner?" So you might call on these for inspiration. You know. Just in case you had a sense of humor and wanted to sell that as an asset.)

Here's a gallery of The Twenty Funniest Personal Ads Of All Time (some of them Not-Safe-For-Work), with gratuitous title-caps. What can we learn from these jesters of the classifieds?

• Ask for what you want. Even if it's outrageous.


• Ask for help (the Donald Duck voice - it's just like Cyrano!)


• Go ahead and let your crazy hang out. It helps other crazies find you.


• Capture the imagination. Don't tell us when you saw the time-travel ad, you weren't tempted to at least inquire further. Especially with that boring desk job of yours.


• Share your geeky interests. You may laugh at the anime-fan, but you know they didn't go home alone!
