"like i mean"?  -- definitely not a midwestern accent.  Maybe you're
looking in the wrong places.  Beaches are empty this time of year...

Sorry, I should have been more clear.  When I said "meet" I actually
meant "get to know."  That's get to know, as in make friends with, as
in get together with, as in use your telephone for something and hear
it ring a lot.

Since you can only get to know so many people in a short period of
time, there's a good chance people-hopping won't work.

To add to Stef's annoyance (with which I agree), my graduate class
had a get-together with the rest of the graduate classes at NCE and
I went with two fellow students; one female and one male.  We sat as
a little group drinking our punch for awhile and he got up and said
"Well, I won't be talking to you ladies much because I'm going to mingle
with some other people, so please just ignore me until it's time to
leave."  We were both a little amused as we watched him go stand by
groups of people who didn't know him.  He'd just stand there, watch
everybody for awhile, and them move on.  Within ten minutes he was
back over by us.

Ever meet someone who has an obvious problem exiting a conversation?
Or who wants to talk about the fact that you're having a conversation?
You hear stuff out of them like:

"Well, I don't know what else to say.  Do you want to keep talking to me?"

"I know you and I are having a conversation but I want to go back over
 and be with my friend so I'm going now.  Will you be OK?"

"Thank you for talking to me.  This is an interesting conversation.  Let's
have a conversation again real soon."

[When there is a pause in verbiage] "Well!  So much for small talk.  What
does everyone want to talk about now?"

"I am a better listener than talker.  You talk, and I'll just stand
here and listen to you."

And so on.

I don't see the hypocrisy.  Where is the contradiction in having men
"up to her armpits, including two marriage proposals" and not being able
to find anyone she likes?  All that means is that she doesn't like any
of the zillions of men that are swarming around her.  If she had said
that men don't like her, then there'd be some contradiction.

I would agree that, probably, the "fault" or whatever is with her, but
even there it just might be that all the swarming men are jerks.  Just
because someone proposes to you doesn't mean that he is necessarily a
desirable husband.

How come she has to answer them all?  Seems to me that she could have you
answer them all, in exchange for not taking action against you for
slander, libel, sexual harrassment, abuse of the computer facilities, you
name it.  I mean, what did you *think* would happen as a result of posting

Hey, maybe religion is archaic and silly...then again, so is sex,

I agree.  Some people may need to make an attitude adjustment or other
changes in order to become more appealing (!= attractive).  However,
IMHO, "lack of dating material" in most cases means the individual
does not know anyone who is compatible with them and vice versa.  This
would not necessitate any change on the individual's part.  Instead,
they should just be patient.

net.girl (read: "net dot girl")
===============================

I stayed at home one sunday and hung around and hacked
I met a chyck on MUD, boy her ASCII was sure stacked
net.girl!
she typed so sweet
net.girl!
will you finger me?
we'll ftp around the world,
yeah, you and me, net.girl!

We went down to the bar on the MUD
and asked to have some mead,
but the barkeep said "we don't have that,"
"We only have beer,"
So we both got really flustered
and SHOUTED "where the heck's the mead!"
then we hacked into the LPC code
and created some LSD 
which made you hallucinate randomly.

We traded email flirts that even embarassed me,
she said her favorite rn group was ASB
net.girl!
she does her math in hex
net.girl!
can we have e-sex?
we'll disagree with Searle
yeah, you and me, net.girl!

We met in person at a convention
and laughed at all gamers
and ran away from the smoking goths
into the computer room
then we asked "do you guys have net access?"
and they said "we're not configured"
and we said "if your not configured,
 then your system is disfigured!"

We logged in to her computer with a cellular phone
I asked "who pays the bill for this"
She said "some jerk, who I don't know"
net.girl!
transfers at megabaud
net.girl!
while committing wire fraud
we'll div and grad and curl,
yes, you and me,
we'll read Penrose and hurl,
yes, you and me,
we'll telnet round the world
yeah, you and me, net.girl!

There are other options...you could always raise them Baha'i :)

No, face it, the real reason is FAMILY.  "Oy, why couldn't you
marry a nice Jewish boy like your cousin?!!?"

The thing that bothers me about this is replacing Jewish with say,
"Black," suddenly makes it sound much worse.  But then again,
I dunno what would happen to the Jewish race as an identifiable

2. Excuse me, do you happen to know where they're holding the Sexual Olympics
   this year?  I'm a finalist in the 9-hour freestyle multi-orgasm event.

3. President and Mrs. Reagan [this was written in 1983] would like the

4. I'm Robert Redford and I'm wearing a disguise so I won't be recognized.

5. Pardon me, but I think I might have once been married to you.

6. I have evidence that we were lover in a previous life.

7. I have a .357 Smith & Wesson pointed at your pancreas.  Would you like to
   come have coffee with me?
