Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

As a single 38-year-old chartered surveyor, kind, considerate, happy and good-looking, I seem to have had mixed experiences with both agencies and adverts in newspapers. I started to reply to ads about six years ago, trying to match up with girls who were most like me. However, when we met, the girls were either fat or neurotic.

When I reply to adverts, I am still not sure which approach is best. Do you write a boring CV, or a short, punchy account working on the 30-second attention span concept? What do women want?

Recently I have met some girls through local papers. One meeting ended with a straightforward request for a kiss and cuddle, which shocked me as I was dragged into the passenger seat, kicking and screaming]

I am still writing, both adverts and replies, but I hope you can come up with some statistics on how to capture the interest of that special girl]
