Oh!  Pardon *us*!  (genuflecting)  *We* did not realize that this
group existed for solely *YOUR* entertainment. 
We will try to measure up to your superior sense of amusement.

Not at all!!!  Actually I'd be REALLY disappointed if she ever left (no 
sarcasm).  She is one of the few people that make this group worth reading.
It sure doesn't have much to do with personals anymore, but I don't mind.

She knows how stale these newsgroups can get.  So, she livens it up
herself.  More power to her!  I enjoy a good arguement.

Jessica, no matter what I say, or anyone else, keep posting.  You're one
of the few people  here that make a.p and a.p.a worth reading.

Hi!  My name's John.  I'm 6'5", brown hair, green eyes, thin, not
exactly muscular.  I live in Central Florida and I'm looking for
a female to just go out to eat with, watch movies, go to the beach.
Nothing serious.  Prefer women under 30 years old (I'm 23).

Hi out there in netland !

Do you still remember the following ad ?

I am looking for a girl to start an erotic email / mail relationship.
I would prefer this to be a conversation with few or no taboos. I think
about exchanging fantasies and experiences and about exchanging photos.
I want to keep this a secret of you and me only. So - if you are interested,
just drop me a line.

Well some kind people answered to this, but due to a problem with a new
mail-system I cannot reply to you. I have now changed to another system
and would like to ask you just to reply to me again. No message has been
lost, the only problem so far is that no message had a valid address I
could reply to.

Thank you and have fun.

Greetings !

I will be in California (near LA, but have convertible and can travel) January
16, 1993 thru January 24, 1993 -- ON VACATION !!

Actually I'm going to Hollywood for some auditions (should only take a couple of
days) and am also visiting NCSE Headquarters (National Council for Self-Esteem)
..should only take a day... for the rest of the time -- I HAVE *NO PLANS* other
than to drive around, bum around, beach around, etc. (not into site-seeing).


Me:

I'm an award winning humorous speaker (Toastmasters International),
professionally employed with degrees in computer science and mathematics, 5'10"
130 lbs., 28 yrs old, NBM (no children, though I love 'em), non-smoker, 
don't drink (though I don't mind that others do), learning how to play the 
piano (you should hear my 'Ode To Joy' :)), blue eyes, compassionate, honest, and
enjoy living.


ISO:

A healthy/happy S*F buddy, with or without children (though young children are 
especially welcome as zoo-buddies, beach-buddies, disney-buddies, etc.), I like 
you -- I don't have to meet you to know that... I'm sure you can be a buddy.


For:

Breakfast, lunch, dinner, the beach, a drive, a zoo, a hug, or whatever else we
may agree to.


Drop me a note (quickly, not much time left).  If you give me your phone number,
I promise to use it only once, unless, after we talk, you agree to let me use it
again.

HOPE I SEE YOU THERE !

Hi everyone,

I'm a man in my mid-thirties looking to start an e-mail interaction
with a woman that could lead to meeting and more.

I'm real, I'm alive, I'm professional, I'm decent-looking and adventurous.  
I love outdoors, music, technicalia.  I don't like professional sports,
smoking, or drugs.  I offer real friendship to a kindred spirit.

To the unattached net women of the MA/RI/CT areas especially, I'd like to hear
from you.  

All puerile replies will be dispatched to /dev/null.

some time to kill the monotony.
	I'm 5' 11'' and weight 160lb, pretty light eh. And young, just 20

Well, people could just be applying these criteria in order to meet
someone.... emphasis on MEET, I can't imagine anyone deciding to spend
their life with someone based on their first post.

People need time for relationships to develop. I see a.p.a as a way of
*meeting* people.

There are some things that might rule out a relationship.

e.g. Me: hates-smokers-with-a-vengeance
     You: a non-smoker

If "you" were a smoker, am I likely to even CONSIDER you? Uh-uh.

I think the metricated, quantitative data might be a bit superficial,
but I guess that is up to the individual.

If you post saying...

Me: 6'4" dark hair stunningly handsome
You: 5'10" blonde large-breasted IQ=240

... you have your sights quite 'focussed'.

So I think the electronic forum is a way to meet a different 'sampling'
of people, if you like. If you see somone that interests you, due to
hobbies or religion or who-knows-what, you can converse and see how
things go.

I doubt I could make one post which would 'sum-up' all there was to
me... isn't the discovery an ongoing thing? I know what you mean, a hint
of what the person is really like would be nice, but I guess people just
focus on other things initially.
