How does one find that "special someone" with whom
to have a meaningful relationship? If one is a super-hero, as The Mighty MitchMan, EVERYONE is attracted to you......living
or dead, two or legs or four, eight to eighty, gay, straight or crazy. However, if one is an ordinary mortal,
it may be a bit challenging to find that "perfect mate". One way, among many, is to place a personal ad.
As a public service to my legions of fans, the MMM has included, on this page, a translation of what some of those tricky
buzz words, found in most ads, really mean.
