Granted you want a girl who isn't high maintenance, but asking for someone who "doesn't like expensive food, vacations or entertainment" makes it sound like you want someone willing to live horribly. Everyone enjoys fine dining, vacations and entertainment - its a matter of keeping the costs within a budget. Why on earth would any girl go with a guy who doesn't want them to like these things?? Your "ad" just reeks of warning signs. Basically it tells someone that "I don't have a lot of money, I don't think I will ever have a lot of money, I live cheap and want a girl who lives cheap and doesn't like any pleasures that cost money."

I always tell all my single friends, "Be picky, you're worth it". :) Cheap, nice try – no way I’m sharing my sexy handyman! ;)

Best of luck, Mr. Cheap! Guinness: Your sister is a genius! If she could just live more frugally and buy her own house, they could fix that up instead. There's got to be a book in there somewhere...Dating for Fun and Profit? [googles frantically] Damn. Already taken. Ah, this was excellent. Best of luck, Mr. Cheap!

(Re relationships and money: My younger sister, the big beauty in the family and about the least frugal person in the western world, has a big thing for tradesmen. Self sufficient, work with their hands, dirty, all that. Every time there's a new fella, he falls over himself to update my parents' and siblings' flooring/landscaping/lighting/plumbing/etc just to impress. My folks claim they've increased their home value and saved more money through my sister's taste in men than they have through any amount of investing ...)
