"Lonely Hearts" has a very sarcastic tone to it. It isn't really making fun of people, but more pointing out how ridiculous the people sounds. The fact that people specify the body shapes of the people they want, but not anything about personalities show the subtle shot at society. The speaker seems to feel that the people don't really want love when they send out these ads. The sarcastic suggestions that the people are looking for love imply that sex is actually the craving of those writing the ads. I agree with the speaker. People focus way too much on the physical aspect of relationships, and too little on the actual substance of it.
On another note, I think that putting an ad in the newspaper is a ridiculous idea. If a person is desperate enough to look in the newspaper for love, then they probably aren't the best person to have a relationship with. No offense to those who use them, but I just think they are rather crazy. I doubt they ever work. Please find a new way of finding dates. That is all.
