| | Partner Solicitation Language As A Reflection Of Male Sexual Orientation |
 | | While the Washingtonian ISOs have long been accepted in libraries and schools (despite somewhat racy recent ISO ads) in winter 1992 The Advocate, seeking to reach libraries and schools, removed their Classified ISOs (roughly 80 pages) into a separate The Advocate Classifieds{6}.bi-weekly periodical. |
 | | The Washingtonian ad would be coded as follows:: the ISO advertiser is a white man over 20, who seeks a female ("single") with characteristics ("attractive"), race ("white"), age (20+), health ("nonsmoke"), nonsexual characteristics ("great smile/fun, laughs" coded as good humor "funny"), to share time-bound nonsex fun ("committed relationship"). |
 | | Washingtonians are largely single, white, thirtyish, mainstream secular, affluent/upscale seeking a time-bound relationship with an adult female partner in her twenties or thirties, with specific nonsexual characteristics, with whom to share nonsexual interests and even a possible marriage and family. |
