Whats the deal with all the ASCII symbols in the ad titles? I thought it was just a Backpage thing but it's starting to be more commonplace here.

Ladies, do you get more responses?

Guys, do you find it annoying or does it make you click on them?

Some recent examples from the Houston and Dallas provider ads and specials:

To me it's kind of like that one house in the neighborhood a couple streets over with the uncut grass and a bunch of cars parked in the front yard.

I look at it as the girls just being girly and doing what they can to make to their ads stand out.

I really don't read anymore into it than that. It doesn't bother me at all.

I think it's tacky! Ghettofied!
I won't even look at ads that have wingdings and shit in the title.

You tards need to learn Ancient Mayan. She is listing her menu and rates in Hooktardese. Pretty clever if you ask me.
Maybe they can tell us what the end of Mayan Calendar really means.

I think it is extremely tacky and very immature and should be left on Backpage.

It makes reading the ad annoying. But, it doesn't bother me. I put smiles symbols almost everywhere.

If something makes me smile as I type, I will most likely include a smile symbol. But, I don't do that in every ad.
