Hi. I'm a 24yr old grad student. I'm looking for a female for close 
friendship, leading (with luck) to romance.

I enjoy reading (eclectic tastes) and watching movies (old classics, 
foreign, documentaries, blockbusters, most everything). However I'm not 
into parties, and I tend to feel uncomfortable at concerts. 
I'm not at all musical. I do enjoy making pictures and movies on my 
computer, but I think it would be wishful thinking to call myself artistic.
I tend to be interested in pretty much everything: language, history, 
science, computers, politics, whatever. (But not sports.)

I'm looking for someone who does not smoke or use any drugs. I would 
prefer someon who didn't drink at all. I'm not at all religious or into 
any sort of mysticism and I must admit I don't really understand or 
relate to people who are that way.

I'm mostly a Democrat supporter because I am opposed to treating anyone, 
women, non-whites, gays, whatever, badly just because of the way they 
were born or want to live their lives.

When talking to people I tend to delve very deeply into their (and my) 
personalities. I like to hear about people's childhoods, about their 
dreams, about their worst fears and best experiences. I find spending a 
dinner chatting about sports scores a singular waste of time. If a 
conversation begins about a movie, I'll generally try to use that to get 
a handle on the person to whom I'm talking---why that particular movie? 
what do your favorite movies have in common? where do you think movies 
are headed? etc. Likewise I tend to write long letters (both e-mail and 
paper) describing what's running through my head in detail, and I like to 
receive the same. While the "Griffin and Sabine" books are quite 
gorgeous, their oh-so short little interactions are far from what I would 
write in such a situation.

At this stage in my life I'm not particularly after sex. I'm more looking 
for someone with whom I can hold hands at the movies, or with whom I can 
snuggle under the blanket while chatting or reading or watching TV. I've 
satisfied my initial curiosity and now I want a full, deep relationship.

Most of the posts I read in this group seem to say, explicitly or 
implicitly, "I really have my act together and have no time for those who 
don't." Maybe this is really true of them. However I don't kid myself or 
others. I usually feel rather insecure in relationships with women. The 
good side of this, for you, the woman, is that I will never take you for 
granted. You will continually be receiving cards, letters, presents, 
phone-calls etc from me. You'll never have you birthday forgotten, or 
have plans abruptly broken off or whatever. The bad part is that some 
women I guess don't want a relationship like that. They don't want to be 
reminded every day that they are wonderful, and they don't want to remind 
their partners likewise. However if you, the woman reading this, do feel 
you'd like to be treated well, and would like someone on whom to lavish 
affection, we might get on well.

I would prefer interacting with someone in NY state, simply because I'd 
like more than just an e-mail relationship. However if you think you'd 
really like me, write to me anyway and we can decide what to do.

Sometimes people can't put together any sort of idea of a person until 
they know what the person looks like, so if you want, I can send GIFs. 
Please, I don't have time, or interest, to send GIFs to everyone on 
UseNet. I am a very standard looking 24yr old white male. 5'7" tall, 
short brown hair, about 120 pounds, no tattoos, birthmarks or suchlike. 
I'd rather save my energy and send my picture only to serious inquiries 
who tell me a little about themselves and why they think we might be 
compatible.

One final point. I know that sometimes you think someone is really 
appropriate for you, or maybe you fix up an ideal blind date for someone 
else and something just doesn't work. The chemistry isn't there. What I'm 
trying to say is if you do mail me, then on interaction decide you don't 
really think we're compatible, I'll understand. I won't hate you, or send 
you threatening e-mail, or tell UseNet what a lousy person you are. I'm 
sayin this just because we seem to have had a few too many cases of that 
sort of thing happening recently.
