Davy, sweetie, honey...

The only thing you're trying is my patience.  Why don't you just shut your stinking trap, and quit your incessant, infantile, whining complaints?  It
appears that you quite enjoy playing netcop, but it's most definitely not your
right to tell other a.p readers what they may or may not post.  If you don't
like a topic header, then SKIP IT!  I mean, the topic "Sexy Clothes" is 
pretty obvious, isn't it?  Don't read it if it annoys you so much.

Now, I would understand your complaints if we all began posting sex related
articles under personal ad headers.  I know that would really cause you 
problems...  I picture our sweet Davy, sitting in front of his computer, his 
right hand on the keyboard, two fingers of his left squeezing his minute 
penis as he scans the personals, looking for Miss Right-Now.  Suddenly, he
sees the ad he's been waiting for:

SW Desperate Female, Looking for Man with Small, Gangrenous Penis (It's HER!)

Davy jumps down to that article, only to find that it's an article about
icky stuff like lingerie, and sex. (Ewwww...)

Puh-leeze, spare us your moaning and lamentations.  Most of us in a.p could
care less whether or not you want "Sexy Clothes" to be in a.p.  Save
yourself the time, and us the pain of enduring your whining.

Hugs,
Christine

The only kind of boxers I like are 100% cotton, and for some reason, 
they're scarcer than hen's teeth.  They're nice to sleep in.  Other than 
that, boxers are useless because they ball up when you put your pants on.

Imagine that you go to a university and find that there are no "crowds"
into which you fit. That's basically my story. I'm a hard worker, so I
don't party like the frat boys, but I would really like to have fun if I
could just find somone or a number of people to have fun with. I enjoy
sports--particularly basketball and I've just started to take a liking to
raquetball. Enjoy listening, and sometimes writing, music. Would love to
find the time to read--literature and poetry, mainly. My biggest hobby has
been to rebuild a 1968 Volkswagon convertible from the ground up, and I
would love to find a special someone with whom to go on long drives in the
autumn when all the leaves are changing. I'm roughly 6' and 180#, if that
matters. Blond hair, blue eyes. Glasses. Straight teeth. Shots. The whole
nine yards. (Sorry for the sarcasm here.)

As far as who that special someone is, I don't really have any preferences
as to what she looks like. Attractive, but uniquely attractive, not some
cosmetic model from the covers of all those fashion mags. I just want a
real, true-to-life person, who feels things and has ambitions. Someone who
could stand to go out to a party or a dance club all night long, or to just
sit around and be with each other. Not necessarily looking for an intimate
relationship, but if one grew out of a strong friendship I wouldn't object.
Interested in someone with a good sense of humor, and who can afford to be
a little crazy every once in a while. I'd just like to have someone there
all the time who's shoulder I can rest my head on when I'm down, and I'd
like to offer the same thing to them.

I also wouldn't mind finding email pen-pals around the world, especially in
Germany.

Thanks.
(This is a cool service, BTW.)

Well, not TOTALLY insane...  I've managed to stay sane enough to have a steady
job, friends, a house, a credit rating; you know, all that mundane normal sane 
stuff.  The trouble is...

	-- My job involves working with computers.  Yuck :-)!
	-- My friends are mostly SWM computer people.  Geeks :-)!
	-- My house is empty except for me and the cats.  Meow :-)!
	-- My credit rating?  Dang, gotta pay those bills.  Today! :-(

Hmmm.  Maybe I should get out more.  But where should I go?  Well, I enjoy
music (reggae, world beat, the_dead[tm], folk, bluegrass, etc.), scuba, wind-
surfing, hiking, camping, car-camping, tidepooling, most any activity that
gets me outside, etc.; in fact, I like most of what one can do out here. 

I don't particularly care for:  Lowriding, North_American_Big_Hair[tm],
redneck get-togethers, flag-waving-republican-fund-raisers[tm], poseurs,
fakes, slobs-n-buttheads in general.

Physical particulars?  Well, I'm 5'8", 135 lbs, longish blond hair, green eyes,
31 years old, and look basically like some sort of throwback though I'm not
sure to what.  

Random other qualifiers?  I'm also a vegetarian who'd like to eat vegan more 
often.  I look just as at home under a VW bus on the side of the road as I would
at a family dinner with your parents, or in YOUR bed [just checking to see if
you're still reading :-)].  I'm a spiritualy oriented person with a mixture of
leanings including Jungian and Buddhist.  I can even spell and speak in complete
sentences :-)!

Anything else you'ld like to know??  Well, type in the old e-mail and we'll 
continue our conversation out of the public's prying eye :-)...

Date: Thu, 15 Oct 1992 17:51:39 GMT

Hi.....

Thanks for reading!  Although I have little faith that this method of meeting 
people will actually be successful, I guess it is worth a try!

Anyway, like the subject says, I am a 19 year old male.  I am in my second 
year of a BSc. at Dalhousie University in Halifax, NS.  I am 6'3" tall, 190lbs & have brown hair.  (Oh 
BTW I don't smoke and rarely ever drink)

I guess I shold let you know what i am looking for in my "perfect guy!" 

	He will first of all be a nice person.  I know it sounds corny but 
I've met some people who are real jerks. (who pretend to be nice for a while)  
You must also be interested in a "real" relationship, which will be monogamous 
of course.  Please no one week things.....  I also think it is impossible to 
have a successful relationship unless the two people are good friends first.  
Hopefully things will work out, but they won't if we can't be friends to begin 
with.  

I am usually concidered to be a relatively quiet person, not the "party 
animal" type at all, although I do enjoy going out once in a while.  I would 
be only to happy to spend all my spare time just doing things together with 
that "special someone."  Just being close to someone I love really appeals to 
me.  

If you can relate to any of what I have said I would be interested in talking 
to you.  As you have probably guessed I'm not out for a one night (or 
week...etc) stand.  If you want to have a meaningful realtionship please 
write, you just never know until you try.......  maybe we were ment for each 
other??

This is my reason why October (it starts with September!) is the
"breakup month".  Why?  Because a lot of people starts feeling a
change in the atmosphere and at the same time it affects their
body.  Some people get sick because of the weather change.  Some
can't accept the fact that they will have to put more clothes
on in the next few months.  Some just can't accept the change
and they just go NUTS!  Some people are somehow sad to say
goodbye to summer and they tend to go through a little depression
stage.  I guess you could call it the "PMS month" for everyone :-)

Okay, look, my original flame on Dave was pretty harsh, I admit it.  I
sincerely apologize to Dave for insulting him.

However, I stand by my claim that this group moved beyond its charter
a long time a a.  Therefore I think bitching-and-moaning about how
this is not a chat group is pointless.  Cornell University's newspaper
is filled with ads in the "Personals" section that are NOT of the form
"SWF ISO SWM" etc.  Many are "chatty" type posts.  I dont' have a
problem with such stuff in a newspaper so I don't have a problem with
it here.  

In fact, I think this little chat that goes on around here is a one
good way of finding interesting people.  If you like what they have to
say, mail them.  I have done that a few times myself.  In fact you
often get a lot more insight from the chatter than from the canned 
text you see in "real" personal ads.

I think this group has worked pretty well as a self-governing body, so
when I see people telling others what to post I get annoyed.

And another thing, I never told Dave not to post his opinions.  I told
him to piss off.  That's different.  And Dave, your tone in
reprimanding Rai was very condescending so you shouldn't be surprused
that it rubbed someone (and probably a few people) the wrong way.

By most people's standards, I'm unusual --
I like philosophy and meditation.
I want to see beneath the surface of things.

To myself, I'm nothing special.
I enjoy feeling ordinary --
ordinary life is interesting,
if you just pay attention.

I want a friend to share my patient search
to feel the meaning of our ordinary life.
After we're friends, if we become lovers,
that's okay.

Some details:  I'm 23, I'm in grad school,
I have an ordinary, decent body.
My greater qualities are of mind and heart.
I'm looking for a friend nearby --
I live in Stony Brook.

There is general answer. It all depends on you and the man, what kind of
persons you are, in what way you are friends, in what way you like him (are
you just infatuated with him?), for what reason he doesn't like you (is he
just too uptight, or are you simply unattractive?), and on many other things.

However, what I can definitely advise is don't pretend not to feel for him.
It may be good to try to get over it in the sense of tempering your feelings,
especially if you are just infatuated, but you don't have to stop liking him.
You may even reach your goal just by staying friends with him.

You can try to change his mind without talking about it. The risk is that he
will realize what you are up to and not like it. If he's like me, he may not
like to be hustled. My advice is not to be pushy. Just be nice to him.

It may be really good to tell him how you feel. It may not work, you may feel
like a fool, but it's the right thing to do. That's what should happen in an
ideal world. If he reacts badly, it's his problem. You don't have anything to
be ashamed of and don't avoid him afterwards. Don't worry about what other
people may think about it. If you stay calm, and don't withdraw into a shell
after that, as if you think yourself that you made a fool of yourself, most
people will actually admire you and try to be friends with you. Some other man
may actually fall for you for doing this. And then, you can be assured that
actually not many people will find out about it. Men don't talk much about such
things, so probably neither will he. I advise you to try. It should be at least
a great experience for you and you may learn a lot from it.
