No matter how clear we try to make our ads we seem to get mainly cut and paste replies that have obviously not even read our ad, and are not into what we are asking for.
Or replies with no picture, or 1 liners without even a "Hi" or a name given!
Is it just us and our (Slightly kinky) likes, or does everyone have this problem?
Any advice please?

Advice? Read some other threads and you might notice that it's a common problem and you have to live with it. You might also notice that it's not a good idea to come into the forum moaning about the ads.

No offence intended to the majority of genuine people, sorry!

The good news is you're doing nothing wrong. Your ad is very specific in a relaxed, friendly sort of way. It's not accompanied by the kind of pussy pics that virtually invite cock pics in return.
The bad news is, as freckledbird says, you will have to live with the dross that comes back. There are a lot of x-rated Homer Simpsons out there, whose thought processes begin and end with, 'mmmm, pussy'. rolleyes You can delete their pm's without a second thought.
Can I, though, encourage you to reward 'near-misses'? These are the people who actually read and tried to give a civilised response to your ad, but you decided not to pick them. A simple, polite 'thanks, but no thanks' goes a long way to encourage people who do try to make an effort.
I don't think you deserved the tetchy tone of freckledbird's response, IMHO. People should not be discouraged from seeking advice about specific problems they are having. A problem shared... biggrin
Hope you find a suitable playmate or two soon! wink Keep smiling...
sorry.... ho 'Hi!'... sorry it happens some people just hit the blanket bomb button and hope to get one reply that says's 'come and get me'.
There are a lot that don't read the ads, I still get mail on here and my ad is very specific lol

It's likely that a lot of the people contacting you with PMs saying they saw your ad haven't seen it at all......it's just become a very commonly used line. Personally, I wouldn't encourage you to "reward" the near misses when your ad is asking for a such a specific interest!

Just as angel said.... they don't read!!!!
If you have pics on your ad.. they have no interest in reading the writing... They look... and yes... copy and paste... I no longer have any ads on because i was sick of getting people mailing me and not reading what i was looking for....
Its just 1 of those problems that will always be around im afraid

For the reason I stated, their ad is asking for something very specific so a near miss isn't possible........you either share that interest or you don't. That's a very personal choice so close enough isn't always an option.
Here's an example:
I wrote an ad on SH looking for dogging couples.......I got inundated with PMs from men who either wanted me to watch them masturbate or to take me dogging. You could view that as a near miss as they want to go to a dogging location and wanted some kind of sexual activity - but the fact remains that I was looking for a couple to watch not a man and my ad stated clearly that I was looking for a voyeuristic experience and not participation so nobody sending PMs misunderstood my meaning, they simply chose to ignore it! wink

Ah.. different definitions of a 'near miss'.
What I meant by the term was someone who fulfilled Adam & Becky's specifications to a T (or almost to a T - for example, might not be into watersports), but Becky took one look at his photo and said, 'nah, don't fancy him'.
Your definition of a 'near miss' is what I'd call a 'country mile'! lol :lol:
Adam/Becky - sorry to be talking about you as though you're not there - but look on the bright side... there's no such thing as bad publicity.. biggrin rolleyes

sure Charles Kennedy would argue with you on that
Sorry Hotrod, I stick by opinion that near misses don't need a "reward" (and tbh, my definition of a near miss is closer to the mark based on the content of my inbox if not theirs lol ). If someone fits the bil to a T but you simply aren't attracted to them, that's a different matter and a thanks but no thanks should be sent.
