Repeats

I posted a fourth ad today.  I know I haven't completely closed out Ad #3 (and I'm going out of town for a week, so the timing is probably really terrible), but can I help that I'm a little bored with it?  I really need to rewrite the rules so that I can move forward in a way that feels right to me but doesn't make me feel guilty for not following them.

I am a rule follower.

I can't help it.  I've always been a rule follower.  It doesn't matter who writes the rules - even if I write them for myself, I have a compulsion to follow them.  So I know that I need to rewrite them, but I'd like for them to be good.  I'd like for them to not have to be revisited again.  So I'm mulling them over in my head. 

For now, I am feeling guilty for not following the rules perfectly.  (Guilt.  That's what years and years of Catholic school will get you.)

Anyway, I posted the fourth ad and have already had several responses.  Of course.  These men are quick.

One of the responses seemed awfully familiar.  Despite the fact that Ad #3 and Ad #4 are dramatically different from one another, the response seemed similar.  You know why?

Response from "Daddy" (which, by the way, is reason enough to say no thanks) to Ad #3:

..........Actually m looking for a woman just like you  to spend time with, laugh, go to dinner, watch a movie, go dancing, go to a bar and just have a good time  , while getting to know each other. I am a normal, down to earth, humble guy. I love to read books, go out, love to try new things. I am a social drinker no smoker , and just a normal white guy hazel eyes 5\11.

(Yes, he used that bold, italic font.) Response from Daddy to Ad #4:

Notice anything? 

Yeah, I saw that too.
