Hi.

I'm a 31 year-old SWM living in the San Francisco area, seeking female
friendship/correspondence with the possibility of a long term relationship.

I would describe myself as down-to-earth, affectionate, honest, intimate,
direct.  I think I have a pretty balanced mix of humility and self-
confidence.  Others tell me that I listen well.  I travel out of the
US once a year or so for vacation and/or work and I have lived in Europe.
My political views are liberal to moderate.  I get along well with animals,
and enjoy their company very much.  Some day I'd like to start a family.

I like out-of-doors/mountain activities like backpacking, hiking, biking,
rafting, and exploring in general: but I'm not a maniac at any one of these
things.  My style can be eclectic or maybe just a little scattered, but it
seems to serve me well.  I'm not a big partier, I would rather spend time
with a small group of friends.  Different types of music interest me,
including jazz/fusion, progressive rock, and classical.  I also enjoy
photography, reading, movies, drives down the coast...  when I'm driving,
the top is off and the windows down.

I'd like to find a woman who is down-to-earth and playful by nature;
someone who likes to do some of the things I do, but who is also willing to
trade experiences and interests.  A relationship where we take turns
"leading," or make the decisions together, would be great.  A personality
on the quiet side would be fine.

Looks are somewhat important to me, but I don't have a check list.  I am
6'4", 195#, fair of hair and skin, green/hazel eyes, medium build,
generally attractive.

If any of this seems to click, write... I'd like to talk with you.

Thanks.

  She's got a lot more guts posting that then a lot of you guys do.
All you do is flame others. Say something worth reading for once for

Would you rather approach someone who's sitting there smiling and looking
basically friendly, or someone who's staring at the floor and not smiling?



I was joking around with a guy a few months back, not being rude or crude, and
somehow he ended up saying something like "I should slap you, you're a
cock-teaser" when I was only chatting to him and gently hassling him (not in a
lewd manner either) - I was in fact talking to him to be polite because my
female friend had taken off to play pool with his mate (the guy I *was* 
flirting with!)  :-)


That's what you get for being polite.

Next time someone like that tries to talk to me I might just tell them to 
sod off.

as a past bike-rider and someone who had a friend killed on a bike I think one
must way up this option against those that you mentioned before deciding whether
it's worth the risk.

please note that I'm not against bike-riders but just enlightening the dangers.

G'day.
Its Saturday night, and here I am in the lab working. So I see this personals
system. Yeah, I thought, that seems to be a good idea.

So, a little about myself. height 164cm, slim build. Hobbies.. dancing, as in
ballroom/rock'n'roll/nightclubbing, playing guitar, listening to music, 
favourite band: Billy Vera & The Beaters (eg At This Moment). Don't smoke,
at least not now. I live alone, and spend most of my time working. I'm a
PhD student working with DNA and all that stuff, half way through.

I'm 23 and looking for someone 19-24 y.o. who knows how to have a good
time. I'm reasonably easy going, easy to get along with, and a good cook !
The girl I'm looking for is somewhere out there, I know, the only problem 
is that I don't get out enough to meet her. So here it goes. I'm about
to press CTRL-Z.

Bye for now, hear from you soon.

I am afraid I can't understand why you posted this.  You stated in your article that 
you don't want to "cleanse the network", yet this article is clearly intended to 
discourage Rai from writing.  Why else would you go so far out of your way to portray
her in such an unfavorable light?  If you disagree what she posts, that's fine.
There was no reason to be that vicious, and there was no reason to attack her
directly like you did.
