I think you are two of the people who did not even bother to read it carefully

A relationship is something that you WANT, that you are prepared to WORK at, that should be a BALANCE between 2 people's interests, hobbies and hardships. Your advert seems a little like you want someone to sell you a sofa?

My idea of the responsibilities of a relationship are:
1.You try your damdest to satisfy your partner.
2.You make things as easy as you can for your partner to do #1.
What do you think this quote above means, if not that relationships are a balance between 2 people's interests?
I can't tell the person what I'm willing to do for #1 because I don't know who is going to read the ad. I can only do #2. I sort of try to do #1 in the below paragraph.

I am kind of like a puppy in that I am either taking care of bodily functions like eating and sleeping, or I am trying to entertain myself. I do not care much about how the entertainment is accomplished. So if you are interested in meeting me, then probably the easiest way for you to do it would be to introduce one of your interests to me. I will gladly participate in any physical activity apart from dancing, and any discussion about philosophy, religion, politics, or whatever, and I would be estatic if you are a nerdy math/physics girl and you could talk nerdy to me. Feeding me is also a good way to make me very happy.
I thought my Ad was sort of a long way of saying that so long as you aren't a b***h, then I'll dissolve my personality to suit your needs. I thought it was actually quite conciliatory. Maybe people don't see this because women are used to doing whatever they want and men bending over backwards to please them, so when you see one who sets some standards for the people whose asses he's willing to kiss, it sounds like he's expecting a lot.

You are making it too much about you and what you want. The point isn't for her to submit to you. Even if you don't mean to, that's how it comes across. If she answers your ad and submits to you like what you are asking, she will act like a pampered child, which is what you are explicitly not asking for. This needs some major touching up, consistency-wise.
I don't even understand how expecting a lot from them can lead to them acting pampered. I thought it was the other way around. I don't even think I was expecting so much. Basically these are the bare minimum requirements for a relationship. I don't think I could manage a relationship where a girl didn't do these things. And this list is a lot less demanding than the lists that girls make for their ideal boyfriend. Maybe I could make my ad shorter by saying this:
Tell me what you f*****g want so that I can do it
Share your interests with me
Don't be an idiot
Be female
Don't be ugly
Actually, I'm thinking that list might be superior to the Ad I just posted. I really don't see how this is demanding at all.
