Love & Loafing

I've discovered why the personal ads in one particular city are better than the ones 'round here - format. Atlanta's Creative Loafing format includes witty and sarcastic answers. It covers broader types of people and has a less uptight feel. It also has a fill-in-the-blank and "take sides" section, which definitely tells you more about a person.

I think there are some folks that still end up with pretty bad ads - they don't do well filling in the blanks. I'll post some interesting ones this week.
