I don't want to trash anyone in particular, but why is it that when guys
make a point about wanting women who have a certain type of appearance,
this is considered acting like a dork, but when women go for a guy who
posts silliness, this is considered the way of the world? I hope for Grog's
sake that he gets plenty of messages, and congrats to him, but I find it
sad that he had to write in such a silly way to get attention. At the end
of the day, what do we know about Grog- absolutely nothing. Yet this post
is now supposed to be a model, rather than two page posts that actually the
describe the person and what 
(s)he is looking for.

I'm about to become truly single again.  And frankly, I'm scared.
I like being in a relationship and I don't like being alone.  But
this one hasn't worked out and it's time to end it.

Anyone have suggestions on how to best deal with the raw feelings
inside?  The anger, sadness, etc....

Although there are a  few reasons that led to us finally breaking up,
teh main reason is because we have no future together.  I want children
and he does not ever want children. (mine, his or anyone elses.)

I am breaking up not for the present, but for the future.  And I'm
nervous.  Where do you meet people?

Can I require that the person I start to date get tested for aids?
Would you guys be insulted if I said before we have sex- we both have to
have an aids test?  We will both show our results to one another.

Any help you might offer on dealing with loneliness would be
appreciated!

Cathy

the quest - ISO laughing, passionate female anarchist. you believe that
the world is perfect, can see that it is not, and get pissed off enough
about it 
to spend time trying to figure out why. you work hard to balance your
technical, creative, and physical drives. you are open to talking, teaching,
and learning. you liked walgren, still have not figured out ulysses, and 
found bob roberts scary because it was too, too real. your friends wonder
if you are just a little too close to the edge sometimes.

the details - an ex-hacker (at 34, old enough to remember cmu littered
with perqs) i manage a money fund to pay the rent; run, ski and make 
photographs to maintain my sanity. i admit that i am shallow and
a woman's brains, ambition, and looks matter. i hope that i am
reformed enough to know that age, race, and religon do not. i think that 
things of value, including relationships, are built slowly. i have never 
answered *yes* to the MMPI question "i often hear voices that tell me
what to do." i wish that scott fahlman would invent something to replace
smiley faces. i think that the person who figures out what this ad
means would enjoy hanging out with my friends.

the keywords - cowboy junkies, NIN, parker, ATCQ. eliot, stevens, rich. 
carver, pynchon, blue cliff record. rothko, siskind, diebenkorn. dangerous 
romantic, single, white, athletic. biking, skiing, running, rave.

	I know this is a personal listing and I guess this is sort

	Sunday Nov 15th is my birthday.  This is my first b-day I have
	had on the net....If anyone would like to wish me a happy B-Day
	that would be great.  For those that would be looking for a 
	personal add here goes:

	GWM 32(as of 11/15) blond/brown hair,  5'11" 190lbs.
	green eyes..straight looking and acting, seeks GM's who are
	much the same.  Very sensitive and caring. Would rather set
	in front of a fire with a glass of wine then dance to the beat of 
	rock in a club, or make dinner at home for a friend than go out
	to eat. Has the maturity to appreciate the time it takes to form
	friendships.

	So what about it don't I deserve a b-day wish.

						joe

greetings i am a glow rat

a glow rat posted here several weeks ago - i am not that glow rat
another glow rat posted after the first one - i am not that glow rat

both of those glow rats were attempting to aid our friend and rooomate
oops please excuse my mistakes a swm who is 28 years old and lives with us
in the san francisco area by finding him a female friend with whom he could
enjoy life since glow rats are not always the best of company

a glow rat is a small plastic toy rat that glows in the dark and most
importantly squeaks when squeezed.  the best glow rats squeak the loudest
my squeak is medium loud

the head glow rat sent me in this third attempt.  the previous two glow rats
have been demoted for their lack of results so i am concerned those glow rats
said there just are not enough single women who will read something written
by glow rats but the head glow rat will accept no excuses so i was sent

the head glow rat can be tough

if you think you would like to talk to our friend using email please
respond to this writing  if you are not sure please remember that the career
of a glow rat is at stake

I majored in both Computer Science and an 'art' subject (linguistics),

taught linguistics.

In CS, the majority (2/3 - 3/4) of the students in my classes were male, and
about 80% of the students in linguistics were female.  (This was in
the early-mid-80s).

A few of the students were exceptionally good-looking, a few were ugly
as all get out, but most were comfortably in-between.  A few of the
students were exceptionally bright, a few were dense as concrete, but
most were again comfortably in-between.  This wasn't a male-female
thing.  This wasn't a CS-arts thing.  It's just the way people are.
The raw numbers may differ if the male/female ratios differ, but the
proportions will be about the same.

And if you doubt that, take more electives outside of your major
(which you should be doing anyway :-) ).

Yes, I'm here.  Unfortunately, I was shot in the head in 1963, 
so that tends to put a damper on things.
