Subject: SWM looking for female penpals
Organization: Wilfrid Laurier University

Hi All!

  I'm a 22 year old SWM university student (Wilfrid Laurier University, Canada).
I've been feeling kind of lonely lately, what with the holidays and all, so
I'm looking for women to talk to.  I recently met a Taiwanese woman and
we've been talking for awhile, and I've found I've become curious about other
cultures.  

  Basically, I'm looking for a SWF or SOF, about my age, to talk to and get
to know better.  I'm interested in all the standard things .... sports... tv
.... reading .... music ..... all that.  The more exotic things that I'm 
interested in are making armor (chainmail), and martial arts (not too odd, but 
it's one of my newest interests).  Don't get too scared, I'm one of the least 
dangerous people around.  I don't really know what to say about my personality 
except that I'm honest, nice, caring, and sometimes a little naive.  Anything 
else and you're going to have to write back and get to know me by talking to me.
;-)

  So, if you'd like someone to talk to, just send a reply and we can get to
know each other.

Hi,  I hope that speacial someone gets this.  I`m 26 and just out of college for
a year now.  I live in the Berkeley area.  I`m looking for someone to spend time
with and most of all someone I can cuddle and show affection to (some in return please).  I have two cats, but they just can't hug back.  Well, I could post all
that usuall stuff about how cute I am, and my weight (165lbs). Actually I really
do keep myself looking trim and squeezable.  I have gotten over my last love
( 6 months since ) and I'm ready to move on and live again.  I'm into a lot of 
different things.  I like going out hiking, movies, dancing, and cycling.  I 
would like so much to hear from women who are looking for a REAL relationship,
not just a quick fling.  I don't smoke or drink, so if you do, you`ll definately
find me BOARING.  Oh, I`m 5`11" and a mix of African/Irish/ and Native Crow
blood.  Yep, I really look remarkable......well in a nice pleasant way.  I`m
educated in physics and astronomy, but I never lost my humanity or humor.  I do
wish to hear from you.  So if you are looking and living in the San Fransisco
area, drop me a line.

That's funny...according to my dictionary, someone who bases another

Hi,

I'm a DWM, 29 years who just recently graduated and moved to the
Bay area.  I have blue eyes and sandy blond hair.  I weigh around 
175 and am 5'10 1/2".  I like all outdoor activities. Those I have
not done before, I'm willing to try.  I love animals and long walks
on the beach.  I enjoy people who have a good sense of humor.

I would like to meet a S/D*F who is 25-32 and lives in the SF 
Bay area.  Someone who cares about their body.  Not necessarily a 
health nut, but someone who stays physically fit and is conscious about 
the condition of their body. 
 
If you are interested in netting and possibly more, please send me some mail.

Hi,

I'm a SWM, 24, in Northern California, and I'm getting tired
of a couple of things.  I'm getting sick of personals I see 
like this:

"Hey babe.  I got a foot long shlong.  Can you swallow it?
Let's get together and do the nasty."

And I'm really getting sick of e-mail relationships that run
something like this:

"Hi.  How's the weather?  You sound cute."

"Hi.  The weather's fine.  You also sound cute."

"Hi.  How's the weather?  Thank you for saying I'm cute."

"Hi.  The weather's fine.  You're welcome."

I'm here to respond to the former by posting a personal that says 
I am not an animal!!  I am a human being!  (My apologies
to the elephant man.)  I'm 6'0", black hair, gray eyes.
In regard to my looks, I consider myself relatively good
looking;  I may not be Richard Gere, but
I'm certainly not Richard Nixon.  I enjoy cooking, eating, 
dancing, film, jogging and working out. I'm very taken with 
music of most kinds (Randy Travis and Erasure don't do it for 
me.) and listen about 25 hours a day. I don't believe in 
political correctness.  I'm very curious about society and 
this whole difference between the sexes thing. I like philosophy 
and contemplating some of the big questions every now and then.
I like going out either to dance, see bands, or just to talk.
I've been wanting to play more pool or darts lately.  I can
also deal with quiet dinners and nights at home.

Now, you ask, what am I looking for?  I'm looking to meet or
talk to a few SWF's about my age (20 - 26).  Meeting would
always be great, but if you're not in Northern CA, I love to
talk.  

What can we talk about:  we can exchange stories or poetry, 
views of life, views on the universe, the twisted nature of the 
bar scene, vegetarianism, why people color their hair blue, 
history, philosophy, sex, drugs, rock and roll, or anything you 
want to talk about, just as long as it's not just the weather.

I've tried to present myself as a thinking, breathing human
being with who does something other than think with his genitalia.
So, to all you ladies out there, HERE'S A LIVE ONE AND HE'S
SINGLE.  And if I don't get any answers out of this, I don't
want to hear any more complaining about how decent men don't 
post.  I may not be perfect, but I think I'm at least 'decent'.

I love outdoors, music, technicalia.  I don't like professional sports,

Yes. It's about the fact that you're out of college at least a few years,
you're in your late twenties, you're not meeting any girls 'cause you don't
have one of those select jobs where most of your co-workers are single
females and you're just not in college anymore.  You don't play softball,
at least not in the right league.  

Everything you're interested in or do is male-dominated, you find.

And somehow it just doesn't seem right, because you appreciate life
and the mystery of the universe, and God's creatures right here on earth, 
and the Cycles of all things, and you want to be part of the Cycles you
belong to, and as a human you are the most social of all mammals, 
and something makes you think that maybe something's missing, 
that maybe you're not participating in forming and maintaining certain
social units like you ought.  And yet it't not as if you haven't tried -
you _have_ given yourself to another, but something just wasn't right,
and nobody knew what it was.

It's also about the fact that you're depressed.  I recommend you immediately
begin getting at least thirty minutes of aerobic exersize every day, and 
if you already getting that, then double it.  After that, begin
concentrating on developing a more positive attitude toward everything
you can think of.  Don't fret, it's not easy.

Or, on the other hand, you may be

Hi,

I would like to get acquainted through e-mail, and to meet if we become
friends.  I'm open to the possibility of a long-term relationship.

I like experiences, books, and people that draw me in to thinking and
learning.  An occasional dose of no-brainer entertainment is OK with me,
but not a steady diet of it.  So, with my best friends, we challenge and
strengthen each other as well as finding rest and security with each other;
and we work to balance these qualities.

I'm over thirty, a working professional, and live in the Rocky Mountain
region.  My hobbies are music and mountaineering.  I'm tall,
medium-large build, have brown hair and blue eyes, and am in fairly good
shape.  I don't smoke, drink, or use drugs.

I hope you're a single woman who's smart, mature, has an easy-going
personality, and would like to share good conversation and mutual
support.  If (yes I know it's a long shot) we get to dating or beyond,
it would be nice to share enjoyment of concerts, hiking and camping,
fine dining, travel, and romance.  It doesn't bother me if you drink in
moderation, if my abstaining doesn't bother you.  I think having strong
common ground in our philosophies or religious beliefs is important, but
I'm not looking for total agreement or conformity to any dogma.
Ideally, we should find inner beauty in each other, and enjoy that;
support each other where we need it; and tolerate our shortcomings.
Hey, I can hope can't I ;-)

Hoping to talk with you soon,

Snow Leopard

Who am I? Why am I here? Two simple questions but not so easy answers. The 
latter seems more easier to answer. Need a woman for dating,to love and be 
loved. New to this country  and very new to New Jersey. Last but not the least 
I will not be in school till August.
	I am an Asian Indian. Quite young, 23. Proud of my physical 
attributes (  5' 10" , muscular and atheletic). I would like a physically
fit woman.I don't care a lot about beauty.   Character   wise
a honest, sincere and  grateful person. Strong will and perseverance are 
some characterstics you may find in my Resume. Not your typical cool Indiana
Jones. I do panic when I drive on the wrong side of the road on a  four lane
highway(but I am good at taking U turns). A lazy bag of bones when told 
to do things I don't like. A 60's & 70's rock 'n' roll fan. Love to see 
a Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin , Deep Purple, Jethro Tull concert( Too old for
that I guess).Educationally well qualified.
	If you are still reading this , you better be a woman, someone not 
uncomfortable about my nationality, someone who wants to give love and 
be loved, adventurous(Adventurous, why?!! Will explain when need arises),
and lives for today and tomorrow and not for the year 2010.
