Hi fellas'n'girlies, I am not totally dull whatsoever, and indeed enjoy

Anyway, send me some mail if you fancy, or send me some fancy if you mail.

I am an interesting geezer - honest!

Ciao ...

c'e' chi ha voglia di chiacchierare ogni tanto in italiano ?

hi there,

My name is Swee( female, oriental ). I am currently studying at the University
of Waterloo, Canada. My majors are Computer Science and Combinatorics & 
Optimization. I will be graduating this May( hopefully ) and I want to go on 
my grad study. 

I posted a news weeks ago, but I didn't get any ( if I remember correctly )
email from female. I would like to have some female penpals. I have a few
nice male penpals, but I think it would be nicer if I have a few female
penpals too. 

I don't like parties and I don't really like to write to women who _only_
like to go partying and get drunk ( Hmmm...I have seen quite a few on this  
newsgroup...). Don't write to me if you are one of them - save the network
traffic. ;-) As I said in my previous post, I could be pretty mean.... 

I like languages, problem solving, reading+writing email ( I have lost my
patience with snail mail ) and reading news. ;-) As you might have guessed,
I spend most of my time on the computer. 

Oh well, that's all for now. Write to me please. 

Thanks.

Swee

 A high school student I met while in Cheliabinsk (Russia) last summer
is very interested in becoming penpals with young American students.  If anyone is interested in corresponding with her, let me know (rwl2@midway.uchicago.edu) and I will give you her address (unless you know russian I will mail you a label that you can copy and put on envelopes).  
    She is studying English in school, so you don't need to write in Russian (though if you are studying Russian, and want a little practice, this is also a good opportunity).  She seems to be especially interested in American culture, music etc.  
    Let me know if you are interested in corresponding.  She is looking forward to meeting more Americans (me being the first she has met).

I am a female, 27, who is attending college at Iowa State University.  This
is my second year here.  My major is Educational Services in the college of
Family and Consumer Sciences.  I have one degree in Fashion Merchandising
from a junior college.  I hope to work with an Extension office somewhere or
in a government position.  My hobbies are anything with crafts, outdoor
life, bowling, darts, and whatever else that is fun and interesting.

Whoever wishes to inquirer feel free too.  Yes, I am single and enjoy every 
minute of it.  In my free time, when not studying, you'll find me with
friends or family doing whatever excitement that can be found.  Summers are
spent on the Mississippi River, boating or skiing.  

I am the oldest of 4 children.  I have a baby brother who is only 11 years
old.  The rest are all girls, ranging in age from (me)27 - 15 years of age. 
My mother comes from a large family, she is the oldest of 11 children.  And
believe it or not we were all together for the past holidies.  All except
one cousin was at my grandparents house.  (about 45 all together)  My father
is the youngest of 3 children.  Not much to tell about that side.

Whoever, please write, my file is empty at the present time.

Hope to meet some interesting people and soon.  KIM

One shouldn't open one's big mouth if they don't know what they are talking about.

Why don't you leave them alone, they are only using the group for what it was
meant for. (ie. to get penpals)

Hi!
This is my first time so please be gentle.
My name is Peter and I'm interested in becoming acquainted with one or more 
lonely females on the net. 
I'm 32, blond, a little over 6ft and quite well built. I play a variety of 
sports particularly water ones. 
I want to talk about many things, but mainly to talk about sex.
I used to partake as often as possible, but now all possibilities have been 
squandered by my over exuberance. What am I doing wrong? I am desperate for 
someone to give me suitable advice on the subject particularly from a woman's 
point of view. 

Please help - All replies treated in the strictest confidence. ( Who knows, it 
could be the start of a beautiful relationship - ha ha ha !!)

love Peter
