Write yourself a dating ad.
1) It has to make you sound as unappealing as possible
2) It has to be honest - you can't lie at all
3) It can't sound as though you're deliberately making yourself sound unappealing. (adapted from initial draft in
jonquil's LJ:
"Buxom but no longer elastic, sarcastic but nurturing, fiftyish woman seeks distraction from home, family and dog. Romantic adventure a pleasant notion, but friendship is more likely to involve going to movies, paying for drinks, and muttering "there there." You must love: musical theatre, the smell of books, eating experimental cookery, textual analysis, spare adipose. Interest in Charlotte Bronte, Jane Austen, sword-fighting, and canning a plus. Financial stability not required, but don't ask
me for money."
