> If it were me, and I'm far from an expert on any of this, I would try to keep your ad as positive as possible. That's the kind I would respond to anyway. I don't think there's any reason to mention anything about not focusing on appearance, bank accounts, or looking for something cheap, ect., (although people do it all the time) because no one's going to know if you're actually telling the truth or not. In fact, when I see statements like that it makes me think the guy has something to hide. So you may as well keep those qualities to show when you actually meet up with someone. You're trying to get someone interested enough to respond and give you a chance, so don't list what you consider your failings. All the stuff about what you have to give is great though. Just try to avoid saying anything negative about yourself, and I think you will come across more as you hope to.

> -THi TexasChic...well thank you for your encouragement. I'd have to say off the top, you should really check this stuff out especially if you are trying to wean away from social phobia or anxiety.(As I am) Some of it can get you down...but there are some nice people too. Just watch out for the 'players', though.
Ya, as far as the personal info about finances and such..I think I edited them out of my new profile, which I will post. You make very valid points.
Thanx,
Jay
