Best personal ads ever
Esquire magazine has a feature called 'Brutally Honest Personals' "in which single people described themselves without euphemisms or exaggerations or any truth-hedging." See the ugly truth here. Most are pretty horrific but I like this guy. I too sleep with my feet outside the covers and like Thai food and beer and poker nights. And, of couse, it's a plus that he likes redheads.
Via Allah.

I totally disagree with the concept of Brutally Honest Personals. You should always hid your negative qualities even if you are married. Not to say you should lie about them, just don't reveal them.
Karol:
Now that you have revealed that you sleep with your feet outside the covers, your chance for romance has dropped by 40%.

If you're lucky, maybe rigor mortis will set in and he'll have a permanent rod!

Posted by: Yehudit at December 3, 2005 03:17 AMThis cracks me up. I AM that guy :) I did do this as a publicity stunt, but was single at the time. I DID get 1000's of responses from people. Believe it or not, 90% were from married women in the midwest.
I am now engaged, and have my first kid on the way.
