Ok, last weeks topic was spelling. Tonight, I'd simply like to ask a question. What is the point of using this nearly medieval script in posting an ad? Below is an example of what I'm talking about:

Y©UR S€@R¢H €NDS H€R€* -» U KN©W ** U W@NT M€ - HOT ==SEDUCTIVE = **•-:¦:-•** KNOCKOUT === **•-:¦:-•** SEXY **•-:¦:-•-•**  *SÕ MÅNY CHÕIC€S*•-:¦:-•** NÕN€ LIK€ M€ ▃ ▅ ▆ █ ♡2 GIrls Special ♡█ ▆ ▅ ▃ **"ToUcH M€" T€Å§€ M€ (F€€L M€) **•-:¦:

Not only does it seems time consuming, but it's also hard to read.  Any thoughts? Hope you are all having a great evening!

Holdn C

The girls (or their pimps) who disguise their Back Page ads like this are posting several times a day.  They resort to this foolishness in order to make it harder for you to Google their ads and figure out that they are blowing up BP with dozens of ads a week.  They aren't very bright but they HAVE figured out that guys with half a brain will avoid low-rent BP girls.

Thanks Bostonguy, makes sense. Still seems like a lot of hooey. Seems like it would take a lot of time to do one of those ads, since you'd have to cut and paste each symbol. Sounds like there's some folks out there with a little too much free time on their hands.

Holdn C

They are sitting in a cheap motel/hotel waiting for the phone to ring.  Plenty of time on their hands!

I don't even bother looking at those ads anymore. I would think they would get better results with 1 or 2 "normal" posts vs tons of these bogus ones?

Any time I see symbols, obvious attempts to disguise the phone #, or 2 girl specials , I move on.

Legitimate providers want you to find their reviews and sites.

Very well put MsMocha, very well put!

The blocks getting bigger to smaller first of all where the heck are the keys that do this? I" d say they know way to much about a key board and it would just freak me straightout. What is that odd shaped e n where the heck did she find it and how? Some one knows the darn key board way to well. Those extra large dots what n where r they? wow.      I would say as an intuitive its actually a highly creative person with perhaps poor social skills. Whos maybe into it for a social outlet. For some one to sit down and study a keyboard and every possible design n shape available on the options area. They must enjoy art n design. There s a definite well thought out pattern too. Look at the pattern and sequense of symbols after the word sexy. That wasnt just random hitting keys its in sequencial order there and a pattern. Doing that takes time and thought. I d say its an outcast type loner girl , Maybe messed up on drugs at this time? n hence her odd morse codish series of symbols n things. I d say is a smart loner artist type whos often misunderstood and possibly suffering from depression.
                              But then again I am  reading into her typing, . shes definetly wanting attention here, mlike ms mocha said attemptign to stand out here with the weird symbols.  and I d say to analyze a key board n know all the possiboe shapes it can produce there some serious underlying issues, I definetly wouldnt care to sit n analyze a key board n all its possible symbols it can produce, then to have these thought out orderly series of the symbols is just kinda sad. but hey, whatever. Thats my intuitive emapathic vision I pick up on n would take from seeing this. Since your asking.

look for a font that is called wingdings.
