[mod.human-nets] Want ad relationships

CC.Wilkes@R20.UTEXAS.EDU (Clifford A. Wilkes) (01/28/86)

Recently I met a woman through a personal ad (hers) in the newspaper.
We naturally discussed the concept of meeting people this way and the
number of responses she got.  While it is generally acknowledged that
women receive a far-greater number of responses than men do we want to
know what would be considered a large number.  To that end I'd like to
ask a few questions of the readers of this bboard.

  1) Has anyone met someone through such ads or know of someone who
     has?

  2) How many responses did the advertiser get?  (Please indicate
      whether the advertiser was male or female.)

  3)  Did a lasting relationship of any type develop?

Any strange or unique responses would also be of interest.

Please send to cc.Wilkes@R20.UTEXAS.EDU and if it turns out to be of
general interest I will summarize and post to the net.

Thanks.

                                        <@>
