"Who Wants to Marry a Young Millionaire Widow?" The bold headline at the top of my newly published advertisement read.
The rest of the advertisement read, "Young Lonely Wealthy Widow Seeking Husband! Only apply if you are between ages 29-49. Please refer to my website for contest details. I look forward to hearing from many of you."
I had written and rewritten the advertisement many times, and decided short and succinct was best.
Would a man send an application and video to a stranger hoping for her attentions? And why would he do it? I didn't know the answer to these questions at first but I knew from all the reality shows on television that this brainstorm of mine could be the way to get the attentions I was lacking.
I had no idea how many would respond to my ad but as I watched the website each day, I saw that I had piqued some men's curiosity, and the number on my counter increased each day.
There was a form to fill out with basic questions about age and history. The long answer portion came next. It would be of some interest to read the responses to the question, "How would you please me?" But the part that I was most looking forward to was the video section.
