IMglish lessons: the personal ad
Cats: Uncategorized|Everyone knows that SWF* is a standard lingo in the world of personal ads IMglish, but personal ads are swimming in IMglishisms, some of which you may know, others you may not.
It’s important to understand this special IMglish dialect lest you don’t find what you’re looking for, or worse, you end up with something you weren’t looking for.
Look below and see what I mean
BBW - Big Beautiful Woman plus-size and happy with herself
Bi - Bisexual
C - Christian, as in SWCM (Single White Christian Male)
D&S - Dominance and Submission
DDF - Drug and Disease Free
Fet - Fetish
FtM - Female-to-Male Transgendered
FWB - “Friends With Benefits” (friends who have sex without romantic involvement or the expectation thereof)
*Single White Female

This is a very useful service you are offering here. For instance, I am not so certain I would want to get romantically involved with anyone who feels the need to specify that they are drug and disease free. I would rather take that as a given.

Barbara, I know what you mean. It’s one of those “I used to beat my wife but now I’m clean” assurances.
Beth, maybe that’s because those guys don’t need to personal ads. They are all scooped up.
Deepti, and I third them
BeckEye or SMJs - seeking Michael John
Tonardo, only you could dream up something like that.
Dick, mmmmmm, those will draw them in
