Hello girls.

Gender Politics Isn't this lonely hearts advert mysterious? Any female Manchester readers interested in this offer?
"Hi. I am a London based successful businessman visiting Manchester on business from Tuesday 7th November to Thursday 9th November.

I am keen to unwind in the afternoons and evenings with a lively, sexy and uninhibited female companion, aged between 18 - 40, who displays elegance, poise, charm and sensuality. Are you intelligent and articulate, free during those 2 days for good conversation, companionship, dinner, perhaps a late bar, even some dancing if the mood takes us... And then some relaxation and no strings fun late into the night. If so please email me with your thoughts how we might share some laughter.

[...]

I would hope you are a good conversationalist and educated, professional, fun, adventurous, exciting and intelligent, sexy, wicked, spontaneous, decadent, patient, willing, sensual, insane, delightful, but above all delicious to be with."
Also in there he generally lists his CV, what car he drives and what he likes to do at weekends. Really is the dating scene that specific now? Reader survey -- isn't this too much information? Is he trying too hard?

More to the point, why are you reading Lonely Hearts columns to pick up men?

I was waiting for that. Actually I was searching through the jobs section of GumTree and clicked over out of curiosity when I saw the headline. Also, this has been misposted in 'Liverpool girls seeking guys' ...
