Hello, visitor!
The only one you really need to know is WLTM, which means the person in question likes a rare kind of country music that is found only on that particular American radio station.<,/p>, How to write a personal ad. Abbreviations are very common in personal ads.

Getting N/S (non-smoking) confused with S/M (sado-masochist) may make your first date difficult if you want to light up after being thrashed to within an inch of your life. Be very careful if you decide to meet someone who claims to have a GSOH (great sense of humour). Really, this should be followed by IYTREMPSIF (If You Think Regurgitating Entire Monty Python Sketches Is Funny). Generally, you should steer clear of all abbreviations, as they give the impression that you're a cheapskate trying to cut down on the word count, or that you've been in the dating game so long that you use a desperate kind of shorthand. Besides, if your ad is just a string of letters, it looks like you have the personality of a nappy bag. (If you do, then fair enough.) Most people are quite coy about personal ads, so try not to identify yourself unwittingly: heir to throne seeks like-minded plant, etc. When describing yourself, try to steer clear of clichés: 'attractive' only means that your face is vaguely symmetrical, 'lively' that you have a pulse, 'fun' that you're not in tears all the time. On the other hand, don't go overboard with the descriptive stuff, 'Picaresque Shavian Sybarite' translates for most people as 'Tosser Of Epic Proportions'. Look carefully at what people say they want: 'friendship, maybe more' means sex if I fancy you, 'country walks' means sex in haystack, 'romance' means sex after dinner, 'conversation' means sex on the sofa, 'travel' means sex on a ferry, 'laughter' means sex after a joke, 'long evenings in' means sex after sex, 'long-term relationship' means sex after you've met my parents and established a rapport with my four children. Be very, very careful if someone just comes out with it and says that they're after a strenuous physical relationship, as there is a very real danger that they might be a closet rambler. Once you've sifted through the one reply to your ad, you might want to meet that person in the flesh. Follow these rules: meet in a public place (ie, not your bedroom), tell a friend what you're doing (and they'll tell everyone else), wear something recognisable (not your purple tweed jacket). And finally, if you've advertised in the Guardian, don't say you'll be carrying a rolled-up copy of the Telegraph.
