This is a question Question of the Week suggestions

Each week we ask a question. The idea is to generate material that's:

* interesting to read, i.e. we won't get bored of reading the answers after about 10 of them
* not been asked on this site before
* fun to answer

What would you like to ask? (We've left this question open - so feel free to drop in ideas anytime.)

Your Brutally Honest Lonely Hearts Advert
Having read a lonely hearts page in the local paper, I wonder how YOUR honest profile would appear? I'm not asking to take the mickey out of the people putting adverts in the rag. That would be too easy.

If you were given a limit of 40(ish) words and were BRUTALLY honest about yourself, what would you write? I'll start you off with with my go at this fun little game:

"SCREAMING SELF TO SLEEP AGAIN: Problem-drinking self-obsessed sociopath with honesty issues wltm (but not for long) morally barren human to act as emotional crutch and commitment-free sex object. Believes entitled to everything, unwilling to work for anything. Uninterested in emotion or closeness."

Go on. I dare you!

Good one.
Interestingly I was going to post a suggestion very similar. Like, which is the funniest lonely heart ad you have seen?

One that can extend to the likes of hot or not profiles, something said on those sky dating channels etc.

oooh
can we write them for our exes?

"Abusive, clingy, dependent, overweight, bipolar ball of unfocused rage seeks doormat to bully into marriage. I enjoy heaping harsh, un-called-for abuse on those that love me, throwing epic tantrums whenever I am in any way criticised or disagreed with, and smoking my way out of roughly one job every three months."

That was actually quite theraputic.

CVs
Perhaps the scope of this question could be expanded to include CVs too.

This I like...it's ME I don't like - see below:
Tired, bookish, introverted 40-something with mountainous debt and CSOH (crap sense of humour), WLTM independant, sexy young woman willing to bump off current wife for the insurance and take all the wrap if things go pear-shaped. Must be a shy stunner who enjoys oral sex.

I actually replied to one
that said "complete misanthrope seeks similar for crap nights in and really dull nights out. Romance guarenteed not to happen."

He turned out to be an absolute scream and we had a really good date.

That, I'm sure you'll agree, was a great story.

This one has to be picked!
It's what QOTW is all about.

PS. Screw the 40-word limit. Let us pour our hearts out.

Meh
I am a spacker.
I can't fit in forty words.
Length? It's a long one.

Oh, you mean in the real adverts, never knew that.
