   How could you weigh in on this?  You have contributed to the name calling
   and gossip-mongering on this thread - twice.  You even flamed the wrong

Hiya.

I'm a senior Physics major at Harvey Mudd College in Claremont, California.
And next year I'll be off to grad school.  Where?  I have no idea.  Probably
on the other side of the country.  At least that's where I'd like to be.
At any rate, I'll most likely not know anyone wherever I go, and this seems
like a reasonable place to meet people from all parts of the US.  So...
Here goes.

I'm current 20, though I'll be 21 in October.  I have lots 'o hobbies.  I
love the outdoors (I just got back from the Grand Canyon).  I like camping
and hiking.  As far as sports are concerned, I fence, play soccer and study
tae kwon do.  Two of the more interesting things I do are unicycle and juggle.
Lot's of fun, let me tell you.  I also play the violin.  We have a chamber
orchestra here that I play with during the school year.

As far as music is concerned, I like just about anything, except rap and
country western.  Never was able to get into those.  Don't know why.

Lesse.  What else?

Well, I'll tell you what, if I sound like an interesting person, you can
write me back, and I can tell you more...

I'm not looking for anyone in specific.  Just anyone who feels like talking.

See ya.

Hello,

I'll try to make this faily short so it's easier to just skim through
quickly.  But I've been known to write long e-mails on personal level.

Like the subject says, I'm looking for the companionship of a single
female in Washington, DC area.  As for the geographical location, I
don't mind driving a couple of hundred miles, so, you don't really
have to be from Washington, DC.

Confirming to the norm of this news group, I will give a little description
of myself.  I am a 27 year-old single man.  If I tell my ethnicity here,
(cultural background, whatever the PC term these days) my anonymity
will be no more.  So, if you are curious enough, just drop me a line
and I'll tell you.  As you may have already guessed, I work with them
darn computers.  I've lived in the United States for over eight year
now and I like to think that I've traveled quite a bit.  Physical 
attributes seem to be in abundant on other posts, so here are mine:
5'7", 130#, two (eyes), medium/short (hair), etc., etc.

I like to go to movies, listen to music (gee, whiz, wow, how original, eh?)
drive on scenic routes, outdoor sports (Ultimate is my favorite) and 
photography. (still trying to learn the mechanics of the art.  huh? 
mechanics of the art??)

I would like to correspond with someone with whom I can go to a movie,
go out dancing/dinner, just hang out and have a cup of coffee on a rainy
evening and just be friends.  I'm not asking much, am I?  I do ask for
honesty and you will get that in return.

If this rather bland sort of post (believe me, I do write more amusing
e-mails all the time, but hey, this is a personal ad :-)) interests 
you, please do drop me a note.  Thanks.

Ciao,

k.

Hey, you can't say I'm not direct. :) 

I thought I would try this type of approach. So here it is. I'm looking for a 
Single Female 18-28. Who is intelligent and beautiful and who wants to be 
married and have a family in the near future. I want sincere replies I don't
want to waste my time or yours. I don't want to sound like a snob. I know some
bozo out there will think that I do (oh well). As many of you who read this 
alt.personals already know I've posted here before and have gotten many replies
but non have been sincere, just curiousity seekers. This is what I DO NOT WANT.
So to tell you a little about me I'm 5'11 with brown hair and hazel eyes,
handsome and at 205lbs built well. I'm an educated guy with and great job and
have a fun life but am just missing this one piece of the puzzel. So Females,
take the time, read the post and if you have the same sincere intentions as I
do I will be happy to respond to you. :)

	I'm looking for a female acquaintance and/or friend and/or companion
and/or lover, so I'm going to describe myself as accurately as possible. I'm
going to be brutally honest, because that's the way I am; and because I'd like
any prospective repliers to know what they're potentially getting into, AND I
really would like to limit the responses (if any) to people who REALLY relate
to my STUFF, ok? 

	Also, to all you possible flamers: Flame away at my post, to the net 
or to me, all you want. I won't respond to you.

	I am an single white male, 27 years old, 6'2", 190 lbs. I'm blond and
blue eyed. I enjoy riding my bicycle and I work out at a gym regularly. Soooo,
I'm in good shape, and look that way. 

	Along the subject of health, I don't eat the flesh of mammals. The
reason isn't so much because if the rest of the world stopped eating mammals
as well, the whole world could be fed; it's because of the way farmers pump them
full of chemicals to make them grow faster, AND because it makes me fat. BTW, 
I don't care if you do. I still eat chicken (free range) and fish.

	Politically, I don't like the classifications of liberal and
conservative, because few people really fit just one of those classifications;
but if you had to pin one on me, you'd have to call me call me liberal (as if
you hadn't already guessed). I'm going to vote for Clinton, although I
preferred Tsongas. I support gay rights, racial equality and sexual equality.
I also feel as though this country has a LONG way to go accepting other human 
beings' rights as human beings.

        Here's where I get even more weird...I'll be the first to admit that
I'm a snob concerning musical taste. I can't help it. I love my music
passionately, which results in loathing music that's not my STUFF. Jazz and
classical are ok, meaning I CAN enjoy it, but top 40 makes me feel like Alex
did in A Clockwork Orange when he was locked in the room and forced to listen
to Ludwig Van...need I say more? (probably) This paragraph is getting much too
long, so I'll end it by saying that my favorite music is along the lines of
progressive/alternative STUFF, like R.E.M. and The Pixies, The Godfathers,
XTC, Adrian Belew, The Smiths, New Order, The Hoodoo Gurus (sp?), etc. 

       Oh, and if you like motorcycles, I have a very large comfortable fast
one. Sorry, it's not a Harley. I strictly ride rice-burners, because I enjoy a
quality product (that should set off a few people). 

       And something else that should really piss alot of people off...I think 
that people with sub-average intelligence should not be allowed to breed. 
Right.....like me.

Rumor has it you're looking for Mr. Right. Someone with whom to share
your free time, get to know on a deeper level than your close friends,
and care for and be cared for.

You want someone with whom you can laugh and exchange those secret glances
that only the two of you understand. Someone to pull you up when you're
down and hold you down when you go too far.

Someone with whom to mix healthy doses of stoicism and silliness, blend
humor with seriousness, and dissolve intelligence into learning.

And, then there's chemistry. That chemical reaction where the stars
shine during the day and the clouds disappear behind the sun. That
feeling of excitement that the two of you were meant for each other
knowing full well that the novelty will wear off in a few months and
you'll STILL be together, loving every minute with each other.

I know it well. I've never been married and have no kids. I'm looking for 
that special someone. Sure, I have a dating life. I meet women
at various social events, at work, through friends, etc. I'm outgoing
and friendly. I prefer to be with people but am comfortable alone. New
experiences challenge me and traveling is something I never can get enough
of. Despite all this and being 28, gainfully employed making a salary
high enough to live alone in a 1-BR apartment, non-smoking, well-adjusted,
perceptive, bright, incredibly spontaneous, curious enough to read the 
newspapers on an almost daily basis, loving most outdoor activities (indoor 
ones, too), and having lots of energy, I'm still single.

How about you? Are you perceptive? How's your intuition? We all love long walks 
on the beach and cuddling by the fireplace but can you discuss your inner 
thoughts, fears, dreams? When something bothered you in your last relationship,
were you able to tell him and resolve it or did you keep it inside hoping
he'd figure it out for himself? In a group of people, can you keep up with 
the conversation and be an equal contributor? Do you know when to "just
let them talk" and when to correct them in their misguided, possibly
obnoxious drivel? Are you spontaneous or do you plan weeks in advance? How
inhibited are you? Will you try almost anything once?

If this strikes a chord with you or reminds you of someone you know,
please let me know. As I said, I'm 28. I'm not a hunk but am of average
build and don't frighten little kids. I look great in a suit and tie
and look good in jeans and t-shirt. I'm 5'5" and 150, clean shaven, have 
short brown hair and blue/green eyes. I'm 35 miles south of San Francisco. 


There's so much more...

	Hi <your name here>!
	I'm not sure if true romance can be found through the wonderful,
	electronic world of Usenet. But you never know! Anyway, I believe
	in developing a relationship based on being "best friends" with
	the qualities of open communication, trust, support, and sensitivity.
        Of course a great sense of humor, affection, and a heart of gold
	are important too!
	
	I enjoy laughing at Mystery Science Theatre 3000 or crying with
	Cinema Paradiso (one of my favorite movies). I like to travel when
	I can, downhill and x-country ski, being creative (I am a graphic
	artist). I like a variety of music from new age to rock (Genesis,
	Gabriel, Enya, Yanni are some of my favorite artists). I enjoy the
	sand and snow, and the colors of Fall are most delightful! Geez, this
	is getting corny... I'm also don't smoke unless my pants are on fire
	and drink lightly. I even like to dance on occasion!

	I'm 38 yrs. old, 180lbs., 5'11", blue eyes, trimmed beard. I've been
	told I look like Ryker on Star Trek and Eric Clapton, but no one
	has asked me for an autograph so I have my doubts. I live in New
	Hampshire and work in Mass. I'm looking for a woman between 30-40
	in the New England area who has a good sense of humor, likes to be
	creative and imaginative, has a positive attitude, and would like
	a relationship based on being best friends. Sounds corny but I believe
	those are the relationships that last.

        If this sounds interesting enough for you to reply then I hope to
	hear from you soon!
