Super, super creepy.
I actually used personal ads before to find a mate. Had a very good relationship for a few years, and parted as friends.
I also have known men who are attracted to lesbians.
Creepy, creepy, creepy. Dorky too! 
I thought the deaf thing was a bit odd (but hey, whatever floats your boat, etc)… but if the OP has a habit of loud gas expulsion, it actually makes perfect sense!
Actually, Superhal, what you want is someone who is deaf *and *anosmic. Make sure to specify that.
If they were anosmic, they wouldn’t be able to like it.
Nah, he just needs to get a dog. Then when he blows the big ones and she looks over at him he can just point at the dog.
It may be an ultra-creepy ad, but I see nothing there to suggest that he’s into blowing large dogs.
(If this guy isn’t puling our collective leg,) I often wonder how people like him can function in society. Do they just find equally socially inept partners, and they both lean on each other?
As for pulling our legs:
If I hadn’t seen it in a L&O Criminal Intent episode (Vacancy, Season 5) I would be more likely to take the OP at face value.
The ad seems oddly specific, and my impression of the dating scene is that there are lots more men looking for women than vice versa. Would such an ad get any responses at all?
Assuming I have not been badly whooshed.
It sort of reminds me of a probably apocryphal dating ad

As someone who punched well above his weight (heh!) back in my online dating days, the point is to make the profile about them and what you want to do with them, not about what you don’t want to see in a woman. It’s all about perception, and the last thing you want to do is come off picky or judgmental, even if you are. Better to get 100 winks/emails and cull them down to 5 real dates than to only get 5 winks/emails and never get a real date, right?
For example, saying that you’re looking for someone to have fun with and visit museums, wine tastings and local theaters with is good, for a certain subset of women.
Saying that you don’t like women who don’t like museums, wine or local theater is bad, even if you’re getting at the same thing. Saying what you don’t like comes across as judgmental and critical, while the other way implies that you’re fun and have interests of your own that you want to include the woman in.
Well, he only ruled out long distance exercising. Maybe he is looking for a short track sprinter, that way he can let her get a lead and false hope only to poop out after 100 meters, while he methodically tracks her down. :eek:
Creepy. Exponentially.
I thought you were quoting someone else and looking for input. Reading through the posts I now understand that this is for you. If you honestly want input, then you should take the suggestions to frame your likes (CSI and True Crime, no overweight women, no long hikes, straight women only).
Really, right now, it’s straight up creepy.
