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. <@> -------
