Subject: Some thoughts about college life
Date: 15 Aug 1992 04:29:19 -0500
Organization: CS Dept, University of Texas at Austin
NNTP-Posting-Host: cs.utexas.edu


I'm just up here in Austin looking for a place to live.  I read through these
personal listings and really didn't find anything that interesting.  I'm a 
senior here at the University of Texas at Austin.  I went out with a few of 
mu friends tonight and some meaningful thoughts of what life is about came 
into my head.  Just things about reallity of life and how much blowing things
off can be a life saver.  My friends here are looking at life and what they
are going to do with it.  We are all kind of scared.  I wish I had my youth
back so I could enjoy the careless times all over again.  Well, that's enought
about the troubles I have right now.  I am looking for someone that I can 
talk to about these things and more.  I'd like to look in my mailbox and find
a few meaningful letters.  Looking at what is written here I guess I'm going
a little deep, but that is what I want back.  Do you ever get the feeling 
that your going to graduate, be a success in live and hate what makes you 
such a success?  I guess I should get off the subject of these tiresome 
thoughts. Just think about it.  Anyway, looking at this letter you are 
thinking that I'm down about life.  That's not it at all.  My life is i
incredible.  It's just that I don't want it to change.  I'm having so much
fun here at school that I'd like to keep this life forever.  I'd like to know
if you are having similar thoughts.  I'
d also like to know what you are thinking.  Let me know that I'm not the only
one with these thoughts.  Sharing them with someone else will make me feel so
much better.  I would love to hear other thoughts on what life in college is 
all about.  I will respond as soon as I get a chance.  I'm going back home 
after I find a place to live I will be back before the end of the month.  I
will respond to you then.  I look forward to the letters.

John

thank you to those who supported me....thanks to those of you
who didn't...makes me that much happier that I have my SO for an
SO and not you...anyway....for those of you who are in a 
long distance relationship or find yourself in one....I used to
think that it would not work....but I think you have to find the
right person to be long-distanced with....Andy lived two blocks
from me and then when he found out he could not afford to go
to school he had to make the decision to go back home to save money
and get a good job....but the two of us are making it work with
him being gone...he is moving back...we don't know when yet...
could be October, could be Christmas, or it could be next year....
depends on a lot of things...but I am going to San Jose for
Octoberbreak to see him and hopefully he will come back with
me, if not then fine...

In as far as this group goes and the sarcastic, rude remarks that
are made here these days...I dunno...I have said before that this
group should be what we make it....yes, it is alt.personals; for 
singles looking for other singles or even married couples looking...
whatever the case may be, I think that people, such as myself, should
have a right to post what they want as long as it does not harm
anyone else...I have been involved with this group for at least
6 months...sometimes lurking, sometimes posting...the group changed
when we got this new ACS thingie or whatever...people are
slamming me that I do not even know or have never even seen their 
posts before....I just think letting others do as they wish would
be a nice idea....it is not like I am looking for a Satyr or
sheesh...get a grip people and quit taking out your anger, frustration
or whatever on innocent people....if you don't like your life the
way it is...CHANGE IT!!!!

Subject: an alt.personals sucess story! (it works!)
Organization: University of Saskatchewan
Date: Fri, 21 Aug 1992 00:25:25 GMT


I just wanted to relay to the other gentlemen that use this net the following
success story:

Several months ago I made a posting to this net looking for people (M/F)
who had similar interests to me.  I described myself briefly, but honestly,
and opened myself to all responders.  I recieved 4 responses, all female,
from four very pleasant and friendly women from all over the world (US,
Canada, and Australia).  I remain in touch with all of them and we are
all benifiting from the companionship.  One of these four became unusually
close and recently flew several thousand miles so that we could meet in person!
the meeting went very well, and we intend to see each other again, as well as
continuing our E-mail conversations.
        I must admit, I was shocked.  I have been reading this bulletin net for some time and was skeptical that one could EVER start a productive relationship
through posting on this net.  I guess I was proved wrong!  (And I'm glad I was)
So, this is a message to all the guys out there that are reluctant to make a
posting to this net:  Take a chance!!!  Don't presume that you will meet
'Mrs. Right' the first time, but be honest about yourself - if she is out there
she will find you eventually.  There are a lot of very pleasant women reading
these postings, and I'm sure that if one of them finds you intreguing she WILL
reply.

        I hope that this story has given people faith in the alt.personals
net.  Good luck to all searchers!  My only advice (and, yes, I'm going to
say it again...) BE HONEST about yourself -> BE YOURSELF!  It is the best
advertisement.

	what is your problem, anyway (i've been meaning to ask!)?  you don't
seem to get along with *anyone*  (at least, not in public, anyway.... and if
your last e-mail response to me is indicative of your private responses, i
would not think you get along in e-mail, either!)  why are you so nasty and
caustic.  i might have written it off to a problem between you and *one* or
*two* other people, but you never seem to get along with *anyone*!  you are
always attacking, and viciously, and publically!  and you seem to be the 1st
attacker in most situations!
	someone posted (to catherine) that a gif would make her more popular.
in your case, (and in most cases) looks only go so far!  "...handsome is as
handsome does...."  and you may wish to try not being so nasty or rude or
caustic.  why don't you confuse *everyone* and post something without attacking
anyone, or being rude to anyone, or caustic and abrasive content?!  it *would*
be a nice (and surprising) change!
	another opinion, worth what you paid for it!

Well, The analogy would possibly be more appropriate if you compared the
ITERNET to a highway.  In this sense everyone has access to the highway,
but not the car, just as everyone should have access to the Internet,
but not a "right" to own a computer.  The roads/highways facilitate
commerce, and exchange, just as the internet facilitates the commerce/
exchange of ideas.

I'm a fairly young guy. I'm good looking, have a great body and personality.
The older I get, the greater the age difference between myself and my partners
seems to become. Unfortunately, They are all younger then I. I want to meet
an older woman.

Why?

I think a woman is at her most attractive in many ways when she is between
her late thirties and late forties. I've always thought that. I just rarely
have the opportunity to meet older women, for some reason.

     I dream of quiet, candlelit dining
     With you, my dearest love
     And leisure strolls through the park
     Beneath blue skies above
     Of conversations and laughter
     Near the fireplace
     And intimate hours in secret
     That make our hearts race
     We spend time with our children
     Teaching and nuturing their way
     And entertain friends
     To spend the night away
     I love you with chivalry
     And you don't mind that I do
     You love me with a love
     That can only come from you
     This dream shall begin
     From the days of our prime
     And continue as we grow
     Until the end of time

Is there a woman out there, who can fulfill this dream?

Date: 13 Aug 92 16:23:29 EST
Organization: University of Toledo, Computer Services

Hello out there.... 

Even though I've seen quite a lot of negative responses to Ohio, I still
live here in Toledo and it's nice.  It's certainly not a Boston or Chicago,
but that can be good though.  

I'm seeking correspondence with SWF's primarily between the ages of 18-25

A little bit about myself:

I'm 23, 6'3", short brown hair, hazel eyes, 180lbs, non-smoker, light drinker.
SWM, and interested in ONLY non-smokers, as it's a MAJOR turn off, and just
plain don't like it.

My interests include but are not limited to: Most sports (*LOVE ICE HOCKEY*),
hiking, tent camping, dating, romance, travel, video games, talking on the
phone, SHOPPING (know any good malls???), comedy, movies (love drive in's,
if you can find one), and meeting/knowing new people.

Don't be shy, please respond and we'll start emailing each other!  

Sincerely,

Rob
aka Slapshot on Relay

How does one view the GIF files?  I am running VMS and I don't know of any

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

Howdy y'all!

Been reading this BB for a while now, must say i am a bit disappointed
by some of what i have seen, but that is not the reason i am posting
now.  This is the first time i've posted to this BB so i'm not sure what 
kind of response i'll recieve.

Anyways,  I was wondering how many people out there know the meaning of
the acronym SB.  It has been my experience that few outside of A&M use
the reference or even know of it.  Just curious, nothing more.

Incidently, you kids who haven't started college need not bother to reply.
And if you attend A&M I know you know, all you have to do is read Stacie's
articles in the Bat.

Thanks in advance.
