  A quick way to screen ads is to mark the things that are important to you. First mark those with the preferred age; no sense wasting time on those who aren’t in the age category you prefer. Then scan for other important details such as; ethnic preferences, cultural or social interests, hobbies, and physical traits. Mark ads that seem compatible with your wants and desires.

  Be sure to respond to ads that are congruous to your lifestyle. For example, if an ad reads : seeking someone who’s wealthy and likes to travel. Don’t respond unless those 2 qualifications truly apply to you.

  Rejection will only frustrate you, and you’ll have wasted your time and theirs
