Hello, everyone ,
I'd like to share some ideas, with You about concepts and power of internet 
personal ads.  As I am running Romance Site for Singles, I'll share with 
you  some interesting tips.

The bottom line is that you can't beat electronic personal services for 
expanding possibilities real fast.

Many people frown or laugh or show disgust at the idea of meeting someone 
through a personal ad, either in newsprint or in cyberspace. There are 
those who have tried it and tell miserable sniveling tales of 
disappointment or rejection . . . or worse. And then there are some who 
have gone through a conscious sorting process and have come up with great 
experiences.

What are hundreds of thousands of relatively safe, well-fed, resourceful 
single people intimidated by? Advertising . . . just advertising for what 
they want. Many people frown or laugh or show disgust at the idea of 
meeting someone through a personal ad, either in newsprint or in 
cyberspace. There are those who have tried it and tell miserable sniveling 
tales of disappointment or rejection . . . or worse. And then there are 
some who have gone through a conscious sorting process and have come up 
with great experiences.

The Concept of More . . . is invaluable in understanding the experience of 
the single person trying to make intimate connections today. And the same 
concept also helps explain how electronic personals services work for 
people who know how to use them and who understand the basic demographic 
facts of single life. 

There are more unmarried adults in the U.S. than any time before. This 
large pool of potential partners has more physical mobility, resources, and 
social and intellectual freedom than any group of people have had in the 
history of the world. 

And . . . more of us have a sharpened awareness of something missing in our 
lives. We are hungrier for whatever we feel deprived of. And we are 
figuring out ways to get it. No matter how the copy reads in print or on 
your computer screens, the people who placed their desire in front of you 
all have have something in common. 

They are openly avowing the fact that they want more . . . of something. 
And they are willing to try to identify what they want with some 
specificity, and make themselves accessible to others who also want 
moooore!

At my site "Romance Connection Club" , we are discussing these topics, at 
live chat, and discussion forum as long, as we are arranging dates. Come on

See you there,
Nick
