Subject: SWM SEEKS SWF IN PITT


    All you SWFs in Pittsburgh, 

    I am a 23-year-old Master's student @ CMU, graduating in May.  Being
from the South, where I graduated from Virginia Tech as an undergrad, I
have tended to bring my Southern manners up here, so those responding
could expect flowers, etc.  I have season tickets to the Opera and
Ballet @ the Benedum, tickets to a number of PENS games, and tickets to
two more Steelers games (the last of which, on Sunday against the Lions,
I froze my butt of).  I am sometimes found at Doc's, Silky's, the
Squirrel cage, the Upstage, the Metropol, or on top of Mt. Washigton.  I
am one of your "all-American apple pie" guys, with a good sense of
humor, a smile, and a tendency towards having tons of fun.  I also keep
my grades up, but do a good job of juggling my social life with academic
responsibilities.

    I am looking for someone around my own age in Pittsburgh.  She must
be intelligent, assetive, and self-confident.  I hope she also can party
hard as well as cuddle up and see a good movie.  I have gone out with
too many women who were otherwise, and I am ready to meet some people of
quality.  Good looks always add, but I want someone who is good-looking
inside and out.  I am also interested to see if women do read this
bboard, seeing as a lot of debate has been surrounding this topic lately.
 
   Additionally, I want to just meet new friends.  If something else
develops, it does.  If you want to see and give me a chance, just relpy
to my e-mail address.  I have been bold, for with the demise of
"anonymus," I want to here from you.

    PS...If you smoke, forget it...

     I have to agree that my favorite mail comes from long distance.  I think
it has to do with conducive atmosphere.  The distance automatically buffers you from having to worry about romantic considerations. You get to concentrate on getting to know someone w/ similiar interests with out worrying about where it will lead. (Isn't
that the point?)  Personally, when I answer ads, I almost prefer that it is from long distance because I'm looking more towards making new friends than new lovers.  Just a thought.

You missed one (or maybe it doesn't matter to you).   I don't respond to ads
which don't give a general location.   Not that I necessarily won't respond to
an ad from a far-away place, but where you're located will have a major impact
on how I respond and what I find interesting.   And, frankly, I am looking for
romance, and that's not something that's likely to happen in a long-distance
relationship, at least for me.

Subject: Men who DON'T want children
Date: Fri, 20 Nov 92 16:50:55 EST
Organization: The University of Michigan, Ann Arbor

I am a SWF, 20 something, who wishes to meet a man who 
does NOT want children.  This is a decision that I have made
for myself and don't intend on changing it. I do look 
forward to settling down and/or marriage some day and all of
the stuff that goes with it - except children.  

More about me:  I am a very attractive woman, with blue eyes
and blond hair; weight in in proportion to height.  
I am extremely honest, open-minded, independent, appreciate
my femininity and give 100% to a relationship.  I am neither
jealous nor possessive and appreciate the same in return.
I love animals and the great outdoors, especially warm climates
and prefer to spend more of my time outdoors as opposed to indoors.

Romance is very important to me; although I am very independent
and make my own decisions, the thought of someone sweeping me off
my feet is very appealing.  However, the man of my dreams
should have a enough self-respect/confidence to do this without
going overboard - too much can push a person away!

YOU:  Should be open/honest and able to COMMUNICATE and COMPROMISE!
I want a man who really knows how to treat/please a lady; someone 
willing to try new things (sexual included).  A sense of humor is
also appreciated; mature but able to goof around and get crazy!! :-)
Age: 24-34 (no 18 y/o's PLEASE!)  You should also be white, weight
in proportion to height (not looking for "perfect" bodies), 
attractive. I really like long hair but short is fine too.  I also
like mustaches but not to keen on full beards. 

Well, that is about it.  Please don't flame me for sounding
too picky, however this is what I am looking for. Interested???
If so, more detail to come with each response.

Yeah, so am I.  Actually, that's not quite true.  There are many nice people,
but very few ads I'd be inclined to answer.  Besides the fact that I'm a picky
person, in terms of interests, there are automatic hit "return" turn off lines.
 Of course I can only speak for my unique self, but I don't know if that topic
has been addressed here.  It might be enlightening to ask women here what five
five things they avoid.  Granted, some things may be trivial or individual
preferences, but it might shed some light on how things are perceived.  I'm not
even talking about ads of a sexual nature, cuz I won't even bother to read
those.  For example, I'm a social smoker.  If people are intolerant of a cigie
with coffee, or in crertain venues, I would feel restricted.  I personally
don't like sports, so if that is what is mentioned as an important interest, I
skip the ad.  No offense to anyone, but I'll skip an ad if the person is under
5'8" or over 200lb.  I wont answer an ad that's completely indiscriminant and
states any race etc.  That's like saying, as long as you're female.  On the
other hand, if a person specifies a specific age range or location and I don't
fit that, I'll skip the ad.  On perhaps a more positive note for women
considering posting ads, I'd say do it but be real specific and figure out a
ay of keeping track of people.  When I posted an ad several months ago, and I
thought I was specific, I was deluged with about 300 replies a day for two
weeks.  I only received one rude reply in the bunch and that says quite a bit.
On the subject of distances, I think it's intersting that the few people from
that ad that I'm still in contact with, are either out of CA, or not in the
U.S.  I don't mean any of this as a flame; it's my opinion.  Maybe tis will
open up some discussion or some people might gleen something from this.

Um, I think that is more indicative of the qualitity of the stimulus than the
respondee.  Not only is there a high coorelation between the lack of both, but
I'd venture to say a strong argument for causation.  Of course ( said in TV
commercial tone) results in your area, may vary.  

The focus on the background study of concentrationseems more like denial, "sour
grapes," and distraction from the source.  Seems to me, judging by the
responses this topic of interest and substance, that women here are eeeeven
capable of responding to posts, if they want to. If you get my drift.  The
statement of observation stated above, however frustrating, is the resulting
effect, and is quite the sarcastic commentary.

You're pretty digusting aren't you.  There's a dfference between having
dicriminating tastes for quality (as in having high standards) and being
discriminatory towards a group.  I'd reject you on the basis of stupidity and
