People don't read ads......a Question of Sport!

3 Aug 2005

Many of us that have placed ads, not only on SH but on other sites too, complain that people reply obviously without ever reading the criteria we have laid down.
Well here's proof, if any was needed, that people REALLY don't read ads.... confused

I have a profile and an ad on another (free) site :shock: wink

... That site has a nifty system whereby you can set a question that repliers have to answer... if they don't answer the question correctly the reply doesn't get through...
The other day I updated my ad, which normally brings in several new replies, but since I have set my question I have had NO replies..... NOT ONE! :shock:
Is it indeed the case that people have replied to my ad but have ALL got the question wrong? :shock: :shock: :shock:
Or maybe no-one likes me and they haven't replied anyway? :?
Maybe the question is too difficult? :? :?
I'm getting worried...... therefore, I'm posing the question to you guys..... smile

My question is.....
I am on this site to meet who????
They have to read the next to last line of my ad to get this answer, which is this:
NO straight guys please... in am not interested at all in straights, and male admirers, sorry... I'm on this site to meet the girls lol.
What answer should they be giving?
:? :? :? :?

I wonder how many of the following answers are being counted as "correct"?
Girls
girls
the girls
the girls lol
The Girls
Women
Females
girls only
women only
... etc.

I reckon you are looking for bi women but leaving the door open for true bi men rather than just admirers.
Could be wrong though!

Herein lies the problem.
My answer is girls (small case). It says the answer has to be exact, so I'm thinking that the system isn't clever enough to count answers like "the girls" or even "Girls" to be correct confused

. Not a nifty system at all, in fact a really stupid one.... especially as it means I've got no replies! evil

Also the site is aimed at TVs, T-girls and their admirers.... thus "girls" in that context is referring to TVs, not "real" girls. Any answer such as "TV", "tranny",T-girl" or any other variation thereof would be technically correct but not accurate. I didn't even think of that when I set the question rolleyes

:roll: :roll:
Off to re-phrase my question to a yes or no answer!
