Dating on Facebook Questions

Hey guys, I'm new to STM, as well as to marketing on Facebook. Just finished going through zillion posts here.

I want to run Be2 offers in non-english countries, as well as canada. Got a couple questions. I know I shouldn't bother with broad targeting, and that I need to narrow my demo down and go with an angle. It's the angle part that kind of has me confused.

I think what most people do is target interests like "golf/golfers", and then make an ad like "Find a Girlfriend that Golfs", is this correct?

Is a LP pretty much mandatory with this method?

And doesn't Facebook have rules against this?:
Ads must clearly represent the company, product, service, or brand that is being advertised and must not contain false, misleading, fraudulent, or deceptive claims or suggest false relevancy to generic offers.

Also I'm trying to come up with some angles, but I'm kinda stuck in the "sports" mindset. Hoping some of you can offer some different angles (that you no longer use of course) to get some creative juices running ^^ And any general tips for FB dating would be awesome!

Thanks

You should definitely test out landing pages when marketing a specific angle. It helps bridge the gap between the ad and the offer (which won't have the same angle as the ad)

suggest false relevancy to generic offers.
Completely up to interpretation by you and the facebook reviewer.

Also I'm trying to come up with some angles
Girls who like punk rock/go to raves/like country music etc.
Girls who are in a similar career field
Girls who go to your university
Girls who share your political views/religion
Meet "classy women"

I think what most people do is target interests
Don't forget about targeting locations, states/cities etc.

I'm by no means an expert, I'm new at this too. These are just some things I've learned so far. Good luck!

If your ads are getting denied with the LP and the reasoning is "false relevancy" just go more subtle.

Sure you might not be able to say "Meet Single Giant Fans in NY"... but targeting NY as location, and putting up pictures of girls in giants hats/jerseys is basically saying the same thing.

Landing pages are great to presell, but you'd be surprised at the effect "subtly" has in your ads.

I prefer to actually go this method for the reason that people love to buy but hate to be sold. So subtly is kind of the user convincing themselves of this instead of you trying to convince them. Key is always to find the limit to push of subtle and selling.

Selling: "Meet single girls in NY who love the gmen! Join XXX free today!"
Subtle: Image of girl repping Gmen jersey "Announcing XXX. Meet beautiful women with similar interests. 2-minute profile setup. Join Free today!"

Thanks for the answers guys. New question:

With PPV I used CPVLab to double meta refresh to protect landers from being stolen by the network.

Do I need to do this with Facebook ads too? If they can't see my ads anyway, I'd much rather just not use any tracking software and just go with subids to keep load times as low as possible.

Thanks
