HILARIOUS ad in the personal ads in a newspaper I read

Soleil_lune

Wasn't sure where to put this, but I figured as this guy is trying to find a woman, it kind of fitted onto the relationships board.

I laughed out loud at this. And then I thought: no wonder he's still single!

Hope this works.

Can't help thinking he should have put it in the 'situations vacant' section and put it as an advertisement for a skivvy! :rotfl:

Has anyone else ever seen any hilarious personal ads, where people are looking for a partner?

Not so hilarious really, I wouldn't want a woman cooking for me, but I wouldn't rate them if they do not posses the simple essential ability to prepare fresh food, , and complete thise tasks listed above, he may not necessarily be looking for a homemaker, on the converse there are ladies on the sites seeking a bloke to help out with raising their children and to put money on the table, and not even in that age bracket :eek:

Seriously? You're kidding right? Maybe you're from the older generation? Because I howled with laughter at this, and so did my husband (we're in our mid 40s.) Seriously? You think this is OK to put an ad up like this, asking for a woman who will be a skivvy for you?

Well I guess people don't have to apply if they don't want to be this man's skivvy!

I reckon this ad has to be a wind-up though! :P

Just wondered if anyone else has found an advertisement in the personal ads that they found as hilarious as I find this one.

I'm in my 40s too, as you have a hubby, there is little need to be viewing dating sites, trust me I am on a couple of them and you get dross from both genders (not that I look at male ones but the feedback from some of the ladies I chat to reveal that). I have friends my age that have asked me how to shell a boiled egg and other what we may deem simple and obvious tasks, perhaps the advertiser has worded his advert in a way to keep away gold diggers , as we all get older we become less tolerant to next partners based on previous ones

I will find you some, I have to pop out shortly.

So many personals ads fall into the 'same old' category. I think this ad is tongue-in-cheek (or at least I hope so!) and I find it amusing. If I was looking for a 60-something man I would be tempted to find out more about the advertiser, which is the whole point of such ads.

Oh FGS, I am not viewing dating sites: quit making up stuff that isn't there to suit your own agenda! This ad was in the personal ads in the paper, as I said in my original post. I noticed it when I was scouring through for a mechanic. I SHOWED it my husband, I mentioned this too. Funny how you're not acknowledging stuff to suit yourself.

I knew someone would start trying to wind me up, but I didn't think it would be this soon!

Thanks Robinette. Not just me then. It is rather amusing isn't it? As I said earlier, me and my husband chuckled when we saw it.

I wonder if any woman will apply? :rotfl:

No need to get wound up, :eek: I'm not on about stuff just to suit myself, as said I will find you some adverts out of the paper, the one you have posted is little out of the ordinary by a long shot, there are worse ones than that from males and similar ones from females, as you are in a bonified relationship naturally they are probably going to come as a shock to you, I will let some others reply.
Besides you only have to look at some of the threads to gain some of what characters maybe like.

I thought it was quite a funny ad and he's kind (well says he is) I like kind men.
What do GSOH and WLTM mean?

That is funny, I have seen some disaster out ones in our local paper, my hubby and I look at them together for a laugh, I'm sure a lot if them are joke ones!!
