150. Speaking of the personal ads ...

and superficiality ..... way back when the big newspapers started carrying pages of them, I started reading through them every week. After awhile I realized, as I read the "women seeking men" category some words kept popping up in many of the ads. "Tall" was the number one popular descriptor, and "affluent" was the next most popular among those women seeking men. At one point more than half the ads had these words in them.

Superficiality can cut both ways, too.
