Then there's "Looking For a Husband." Gee, did you have to spell it out? I think the word "husband" should be added to my list of banned words, whaddaya think? Most guys probably realize this is your final destination, but let's have a few pit stops in between, alrighty?

Be cute, be original, and stay away from the no-no words.

One of the main conclusions that I have come to is the more adjectives that are used, the more insecure one is. "Successful, Rich, Handsome, Built, Romantic, Studly, Intelligent Brain Surgeon Seeks Female." A little deep, wouldn't you say? He's probably 4'9" weighs in at 234 pounds and has a Michael Jordan hairstyle. And, I'll bet he drives a Ferrari.

These insecure folks are usually the ones who also have the vanity plates that say, "1 Actor," "SF 49ERS," or "GR8 DOC." Translation: "I wanna be an actor," "I'm a big fan," and "My urologist is the best."

TIPS

Leave out words like lonely, commitment, abnormal and mother from your headline.

Remember, the more adjectives you use to describe yourself, the more insecure you come across.

Be funny; humor is always a safe bet.

Put a hobby in your headline like, "Snow Skier Seeks Chair Lift Companion" or "Bowler Looking for a Guy With Balls."

Think like the other half and put in things that they may enjoy like, "Channel Surfer Seeks Same" or "Seventies Rocker Looking For Seventies Roller."

Use positive words and phrases. "Desperate Loner Looking For Any Breathing Soul" will not get the same responses as "Happy Energetic Engineer Wants Brainy Beauty."
