An understandable waste of breath, George.  You should have just
checked the name - Arabic.  Says it all.

Racist?  Nope, realistic.  Arab men generally have a bad attitude
towards women, and any (Arab men) who care to flame me, come on.

Excuse me?! Natural reasons? JEE-ZUS, there are certainly a lot of people 
on this newsgroup lately that seem to not be thinking too clearly. Personally, 
I think it's a result of oxygen deprivation owing to the fact that they 
seem to have their heads lodged firmly in their respective rectums.

Next thing you know, someone's going to come out and say women are 
genetically inferior....

This is potentially flaming so if you are sick of it, don't read it please.






















I'm just curious.  How many examples do you know where people met over the
net and decided to date in real life?  I've been on the net for over two
years now and I know only one example.  They met on a mud I was playing on
and dated for a brief period.

Am I alone in this or majority of the people experienced the same as I did.
I got scared off when some females "chase" after me on the net.  I mean,
we're very likely to be very far apart, etc.  There are also a lot of nice
girls in real life.  Personally I prefer making an effort in real life
before going on the net.  I don't mind interesting conversations but if it
goes over that...oh well.

Reply to me via e-mail if you can since most of the people on this newsgroup
probably won't be interested in this topic.  I'm just curious.

A rave is an 'underground' dance party if you will.  Typically its in a
warehouse or similar location.  The focus is techno music, which is high
bpm electronic dance music (140 bpms or more often times), peace, and
happiness.  Its different from above ground clubs in that no one cares who
you are, what you're wearing, or what you look like, alcohol is generally
frowned upon at such events.

I suggest you try alt.rave if you're interested in more information or
want to know when there might be a rave near you.

I can't figure out how to send e-mail directly to you.  So I'll risk
embarasment and just post this back to netland.  I'm a graduate
student in Vermont, scientist/inellectual type.  Not looking for
romance via e-mail, but often stuck in front of my terminal waiting
for jobs to run.  Interested in just chatting about any sort of
intellectual stuff while I'm waiting.

I'm especially interested in evolution, genetics, information, and how
humans use information.  What is the computer revolution going to do
for humankind?  Has the human race become a meta-organism that is
analogous in some way to ant-hills or beehives?

Subject: Might there be an interested lady?
Organization: Anonymous contact service
Date: Sat, 7 Nov 1992 19:58:12 GMT


Hello!

I am a single white male in my mid-twenties, and I would like an
opportunity to exchange correspondence with a lady interested in
friendship and possible romance at some point in the future should
things happen to 'click' between us.

I'm not too sure as to what sort of information to put in this ad - as
for myself, I'm sort of an easygoing guy who enjoys just about
everything in life, and I hope to one day meet someone with whom I can
share my life, my hopes and dreams - and at the same time share her
hopes and dreams as well.

I reside in Michigan at the present, and while my chosen profession
keeps me glued to a screen during the weekdays, I enjoy a variety of
activities and hobbies, both indoor and outdoor.  I would like to find
someone who shares some interests with me, but it is far more
important to me that we be able to do simple things, like talk to one
another about anything, important or silly.  If you don't like smiles,
you won't like me, probably.  I like to laugh and enjoy life - it's my
way.

I have an adventurous and fun-loving spirit, and as such I'll try most
things once, anyway.  If you are wondering why I'm posting an ad here,
the answer is simple - I happen to be rather shy around single women -
I always have been.  I've never asked anyone out before, and I've
turned down those offers I've received in the past (no joke).  I just
thought that perhaps I might luck out and meet a wonderful lady via the
network, where we can get to know one another in a non-threatening way.

If you are interested, please drop me a note and tell me a bit about
yourself - I'd enjoy hearing from you.

The reason I do it despite the misunderstandings is that it is 
challenging to get one's message across. Another reason is the
sheer bulk of people that you can communicate with easily.
Another is that this is sort of an alternative society, with
different advantages and disadvantages from the "real" one..
