Wendy Cope creates different people within a newspaper through her poem, "Lonely Hearts". While looking for love, she formulates a parody of people's desire to find love. Each person composes his or her advertisement for a newspaper. Every single person tries to find his soul mate. However, he makes crucial specifications that a person must have to be happy. For example, an executive is looking for a new person "perhaps bisexual woman, arty, young (973)." He searches for someone who he may not get. He enumerates the qualities that he deems worthy of "something new". This person may not be the best for his soul mate because a reader may see him as trying to get a good time. He will always be alone because he cannot be happy with the woman he might get.
