OPERATION

CUPID

In TVia #12 it was indicated that we had something to pro- pose to you on the matter of finding understanding women. We think we have, and here is the whole proposition and how it works.

We receive all kinds of letters from readers. Many of them are heartwarming ones telling of the good our efforts have accom- plished in helping save marriages or bringing families closer to- gether, of bringing people out of isolation and loneliness after years, and of providing understanding and warmth.

But we also get the constant cry of loneliness from those unmarried FPs who would like to find an understanding woman for a mate. It is difficult to find this type of woman under ordin- ary circumstances. Most of us are too secretive to just admit our desires to the girls that we date. Writing to strangers who have no knowledge at all of the pattern by way of correspondence clubs etc. presents the problem of revealing identity to a stranger. There are women who are not only able to understand and accept the idea of FP but who even appreciate it and want it in a man. We know several of such. The results of the questionaire pub- lished in #9 showed that 1/3 of the wives were accepting, and an- other 1/3 were tolerant, so the situation is not as hopeless as it may sometimes appear. Every woman does not want or like the aggressive, wolf whistle type of male. These women are in a pos- ition to appreciate the gentleness and understanding that an FP could give them. Such types of women would also want to have some knowledge of a man by mail before being willing to meet him in per-

With an eye toward finding these women, we have planned an ad to be placed in several newspapers and lonely heart magazines. We also have worked out a form letter to be sent to the women who reply. This letter can also be sent to the women who themeselves advertize in lonely heart papers, and to just likely single women that we hear about ourselves or from you. We can, moreover, buy lists of names in occupations like secretaries etc. All likely
