Well, it sounds to me like you think I have no standards... :) I would hardly
use those words to describe my personality. I don't know, perhaps I just have
all the luck, but I have many good male friends and a number of men who I
consider "more" than a friend, although really nothing is done about those,
since I am attached.

If I was to write an ad detailing some of my preferences, I think it would
come out something like this: (***This is an EXAMPLE***) 

Looking for single male, 18-40, who is funny and has a good sense of humour,
must be reasonably intelligent, creative, computer literate, mature yet
spontanious, romantic, like various types/styles of music and/or be musical in
one way or another. I would like someone who is caring, and likes doing things
for others. I don't like guys with a serious ego problem (joking around is
fine with me). I do like to do some physical activity such as bicyling,
swimming, and walking, therefore I would like someone who is in shape well
enough to keep up with me.  

(***End of EXAMPLE***)


Now, while that sounds pretty open, I probably would narrow things down even
more when I actually got around to talking/meeting the people in question. Ie,
exactly what type of people I find attractive. For example, I usually find
caucasian or east indian men attractive, I find short men attractive, I don't
find fat men attractive, I find undercut chins attractive, I think people who
are not overly assertive attractive. I could go on and on, and while all these
things do not have to be perfect for me to love someone, they do cause things
to click a little better between the person and I.

Still, despite all my preferences, there are quite a number of men that I know
that I think I could enter into a meaningful relationship with, at least on my
end (I'm only speaking for myself).

Hi,

I didn't want to use the anonymous posting facility, because
what the heck difference does it make if anyone knows I posted
to this group? :-)

Anyway, I'm a 21 year-old student, studying a Degree in Business
Computing at at an English University. I am currently on a 
years placement at BNR (Europe), seconded to a Data Communications
project. I'm a pretty shy sort of guy, though when I get to know
people, I tend to come out of my shell a lot. 

I am 5'11", slim/athletic build (though not the "work-out" type),
play sport regularly (squash, badminton, swim, hockey - I was
in the hockey and swimming teams at school), short(ish) brown/blond
hair, green (sometimes gray - especially in the morning) and my
main interests are listening to music while relaxing with a milk-
shake (a small trait of mine!) - Classical, Modern (Depeche Mode, 
Bryan Adams, The Shamen, Queen, Genesis), Jazz (Bix): basically
whatever music suits the mood I am in. I am very much into classic
cars (I have two - a 66 MGB and a 64 Ford) - I believe that we
should try and retain what we have left of the past before it all
'crumbles away' and we have nothing left of our heritage.

I travel extensively, and I plan to visit the US on an extended
trip sometime in the next two or three months. I have backpacked
throughout Europe several times. I am very independent, strong-
willed, and I like to think I'm stubborn, but generally I'm not.

Any females over about 20, up to about 40(ish), please feel free
to drop me a line, every response is guaranteed a reply. Don't
feel restricted by your location - wherever you are, press that
'R' button now...

Date: Thu, 23 Jul 1992 03:11:43 GMT

	I'm trying this again, cause I didn't get much response last time.
Probably no one in this area on this net.

	I'm a single male, 21, 5'7 1/2", brown hair, brown eyed, romantic
and unique (call it crazy if you want) guy who is bored out of my skull with
sitting at home or going to the same places doing the same things over and over.
	I'm looking for a SWF around the same age to have fun and/or
romantic relationship.  Must like to be treated well, loved in many ways,
like to play, do mushy, romantic stuff (like candlelit dinners, good wines,
gazing into eyes, cuddling, etc.), or just have alot of fun with no strings
attached.  It would also be nice if you lived in the Lafayette, Louisiana
area (hence Univ. of SW LA!)

	I'm also looking for male friends (I'm talking about party-type
pool playing, beer drinking, thrill seeking, women chasing, crazy people
who don't do drugs (!!)) who just want to go and reek havoc on the world.
(I think you get the idea... I'm lonely all by myself down here.)

	I like industrial music, playing pool, swimming, outdoor stuff (even
though I don't get to do much of it), and just having fun during this summer
and beyond.  Hopefully, someone will respond to this before the end of the
summer, because I start my last year in Mechanical Engineering next
semester and I'm gonna have no time to look for friends then.  It would be
nice to have some around that I know well.
	Anyway, thanks for listening to my gibberish....

True. But the "older folx" would have recognized this as a punchline
from an OLD joke.

If other people want to try it for "something else", more power
to them. I've heard of worse.  :)

If they're so concerned about the usage of vaseline, buy them

There was a question about reposting with addresses intact. You run into
electronic copyrights. Personal e-mail probably should not be posted on
a regular basis because people will quit being themselves for fear of 
public ridicule, and that would kind of go away from the idea of
alt.personals, to meet people and find out more about them. I agree with
Rai's approach, and I was guilty of this myself in a different group
(yes, Peter, THE other group). But I think the first approach is to 
ignore the individual and trash the article. 

I kinda went all over didn't I? Well, I personally don't see a problem 
with reposting private e-mail, but make sure the individual deserves it.
And never post the name. That could get very sticky. The person that
wrote that to Rai KNOWS that he was one line from puplic humiliation, and
I am pretty sure it would not be repeated by the same person. And don't
post every e-mail letter you get that isn't quite up to your standards, 
because then people might stop writing you all together.

Conclusion:

Rai's letter: thumbs up
All letters below standards: Thumbs down

Anyone else want to comment?

Hello.  I am new to this.  I'm a 20 year old SM student in mechanical engineering
at MIT.  I'm Vietnamese, but I grew up in the states in North Dakota.  I'm 
working at MIT for the summer as well as being a student during the school year.
I'm 5'8", have sorta of a long flat-top haircut, nice dark brown eyes, and have a
small build.  My interests include tennis, bike-riding, movies, computer relays, 
and music.  I am a big gothic rock fan.  The Sisters of Mercy are my favorite 
band.  I like to wear black, but I don't all the time.  I also like industrial, 
techno, and other alternative music. I recently started going to clubs for
concerts and love it a lot, but I always go alone, so I don't have as much fun as
I could.  I'm above average in looks, but it's very hard for me to meet people
because I'm very shy.  I'm looking to meet a nice college age woman in the
Boston/Cambridge area to spend time with.  Nothing fancy.  I am, after all, a
college student, so money is tight.  What I'd really like is someone to talk to,
dine with, walk along the Charles with, and possibly dance with once I get the
courage.  It may sound simplistic, but I guess life is complicated enough for me
that I don't need any more complexities right now.  Ethnicity doesn't really
matter as long as she's compatible with me.  I do want someone relatively
attractive and not overweight.  I'm not a very large person, and I want someone
of similar size.  I'm not exactly sure how this system works, but I hope that I
will get some response.  Thank you.

Er, Puter, I think they were talking about people posting GIFs of themselves
as part of the alt.personals "process", and were thinking about whether to
start a new group or just post them here.  With all the gripes about wasted
bandwidth, a separate group probably is not a bad idea.  In any case, I don't
think comp.binaries.pictures is appropriate for these particular pictures and
the intent behind them.

I, too, have my own story of guilt, but it has been much more recent than
this.  :(

Monday evening, I went out to grab a burger at the local Wendy's.  It was
almost 10:00 pm, it was dark and cloudy out, and there were no street
lights on this main drag.  I was going about 40 (in a 45 zone) when, all of
a sudden, these people show up in my headlights.  I slam on my brakes, but
too late.  I hit three people standing in the middle of the road.

The police arrived and did their accident investigation thing.  They told
me that it wasn't my fault, that these three guys had been smoking pot all
evening long, and were just wandering out in the middle of the road.  They
found a baggie of pot at the scene.

Their ages were 24, 18 and 7.  The 24 year old and the 7 year old are still
in the hospital, one of them is critical.  The 18 year old was dead at the
scene.  The 18 year old was the 7 year old's step-father.

I read his obit in the paper yesterday.  This guy had family, friends, a
fiancee, and a son.

I can't get the accident out of my mind, nor can I get the idea that I was
somehow responsible out of my head, even though the police assured me that
there wasn't anything I could've done to avoid the accident.  I guess I'm
pretty bummed out about the whole thing -- after all, someone died because
I was in the wrong place at the wrong time. :(

That's true.  Even though I'm coming to grips with the pain and guilt, it's

to stare death in the face, up close and personal.
