Oh please!!! Let's NOT go through this again. If you don't like the
service he's providing just don't use it. He's not sticking his morals
down anyone's throat, he's not censoring or judging anyone he's simply
limiting the extent of the service he's willing to provide. If you
don't like it you can use another service or set one up yourself or
post here non-anonymously and there's absolutely NOTHING he can do
about it.

I wonder if fat is a state of mind as well as a state of body. As in,
if you are fat but jolly and acceptive of it it's much better than someone
who's fat and down about it but won't do anything about it.

I'm tall, single, attractive, professional, male, British---I'm
even a good conversationalist.  I value romance, and even occasionally
think longingly about permanent relationships.  I have an intensely
sensual sexuality: washing the hair of a woman I care about or
shaving her legs for her seems sometimes more satisfying even than sex.
If all this seems attractive to you, perhaps you'd care to send
me a message.  By the way: your age doesn't matter to me, but
perhaps I should point out that I'm 43 years old.

Life must be tough!  I'd love to be deluged... or for that matter,
just get a response from people when I post.

Anyway, if anyone wants to deluge me with mail, I'm a CS student,
male, blond hair, blue eyes, etc., etc. and I'd love to hear from
others, though I must say, I do prefer writing to and from women who
enjoy athletics and who keep in shape.

(was ap.4040)

I'm a student at the University of Illinois in Urbana, stuck in a fairly
isolated work environment by day and, well, in Urbana by night...and so I'm
bored, and I would love to chat/discuss life/meet/? with anyone out there still
young enough at heart to look at this whole personals thing with a sense of
humor.

I am a scientist, but intellectual in a broader sense, and can and will discuss
most anything...I like music, I read a lot more than I should.	I am a very
playful person, and I do best with people who are not too literal, or easily
hurt.

If you're interested in meeting me:  I have no problem with blind dates, I
find them kind of fun...I would not want to travel a great distance to meet
anyone (can't afford it).  I hold no great hopes of falling in love via the
net, but if that's what you're interested in...I guess I'm open minded.  It
would then be better if you were secure and happy about yourself (!!) somewhat
liberal and willing to tolerate a heathen if you're religious, non-smoking,
fairly tall, and in good enough shape to go on a long walk in the woods (at
least!)

If not:  Anyone with a mind and something to talk about is encouraged to reply.

To offer the view of another woman (although I now understand that I am
an annoying, opinionated twit <grin>) I would like to say how much I 
enjoyed the flood of email I received.  I think I got most of it answered
and have even gained a few new penpals.

I was never offended by the men who expressed an interest in knowing more
about me.  In fact, I would rather talk to a man who was impressed by my
postings than a man who answered an isolated ad that only gives him part
of the picture of who I am.

At no time did I feel that any of my email was from desperate people.  It 
all seemed to come from people who wanted to contribute their ideas to me
and who had interesting things to say.

People are endlessly fascinating and diverse in the stories they make up
about what happens.

Hello all,

	I am a handsome SWM, 22 seeking a SWF in the Austin, Tx area for a fun 
	friendship/relationship. I would like her to be intellegent and witty. I am 
	an avid	biker so I would also like someone athletic. I am very independant,
	so I don't want someone I must "take care of." 

	Now about me. I am 6' 1'', 165 lbs, and fairly muscular. I have brown eyes
	and a great personality. I love movies, computers, biking, philosophising,
	listining to all kinds of music, long walks, beaches, romance, cooking,
	learning, writing, electronic gadgets, fixing things, giving massages, 
	people watching, and just plain having fun! I am a senior seaking an
	Electrical Engineering degree. I am a very idealistic person. I like doing
	things for others. I am not rich (just good looking :)). I consider myself
	intellegent and witty with a sence of humor. 


	If I sound like someone you would be intrested in meeting or if you have

Hi:

I am damn sure there are women in Montreal who would interrest me
but I don't know how to find them. Unfortunately, this is an
unlikely medium but...what the hell, I thought I would give it
ago.

I am just about 30, an academic, into fitness (mostly vegaterian,
rabid non-smoker, lots of sports etc). Despite being a scientist
I am interrested in literature, movies, classical music, and
would like to develop a bigger interrest in the theater. I am also
a keen traveler (often alone) but find it hard to reconcile
myself to being a tourist. I'm afraid I don't enjoy much modern music  
and *never* dance (my English reserve). I am a very independent 

person and need space for myself ( I enjoy my own company immensely )  
but I know that I am missing out on some part of the life-experiance 

by being single.

This is not meant to be a critisism, but I have to be honest
when I say that I dislike fat. I am attracted by slim women
and I am looking for somebody who is independent and who
will respect my independence. I wish only to enter into an
equal relationship: I think that two people can support each 

other and together the whole can become more than the sum of 

the parts, but I will not sacrifice my individuality, nor enjoy
a relationship where I have to take any responsibility for my
partner. I have met too many women who stagger from one 

relationship to the next because they *need* somebody.
The most sucessfull relationship I have has was based purely
on interlectual compatibility with almost no physical 

attraction; I would somehow like to combine those aspects.

Anyway, enough blood.   I.
