Suppose you are running a personals ad, trying to find a match. What three words would you put in for X Y and Z.

For instance, I would say:

"Vegetarians, Pet owners and Church-goers need not apply"

(Try to be more imaginative than the obvious "Drug addicts, alcoholics and wife-beaters need not apply".)

Narcissists, anti-motherhood and unorganized women need not apply.

Yeah tattoos make a woman appear cheap. I mean its nice to see arose on an ankle but a huge tramp stamp on her back and down her ass is rather cheap.

While I have enjoyed jtur's inputs in "History" and "Great Debates", this is a ridiculous thread.

I have hated prejudice in such ads, growing up as a little boy, religiously reading newspapers.

Personal ads are where racism and prejudices are exercised to their fullest extent.

Personally, I would leave off the "need not apply stuff". Describe what you WANT and then filter through the responses. I can tell you from experience that most men and many women do not thoroughly read the information anyway.

For example, I'm a widower and got such questions on my first dates as....
"So, how often do you have your kids?"

and

"How long have you been divorced?"

lol.

Men who hate animals, who are religious fanatics, or are not open to trying new things need not apply.
