I am 27. I was told good looking and I am a very fit person(into a lot of 
outdoor sports). I like classic and soft rock. From my name you can probably
figure that I am an Indian, but I have been living here in the US for too
many years.

I travelled widely and I am very openminded. 

If you are kinda romatic female just reply to 'prasad@infonode.ingr.com' 
Race doesn't matter to me. 

There is so much to talk once I hear from you.

Waiting...

 I am a 34 year old ex-biker, that is to say that at one time I rode
with a motorcycle club. I am 6'0", 220 lbs., brown hair and a full
beard. I am currently a student at North Carolina State University here
in Raleigh, N.C. I am majoring in English (writing/editing option) and
Technical Graphics.
 I am looking for a penpal and maybe it will grow into something more in
the future. I enjoy walking through the country and along the beach
where I can listen to nature whispering her song.
 I am including a poem I wrote as an english assignment.

                         Uncle, What Is Love ?

                One day on me was placed a task
                  such questions only children ask
                "Uncle, if love is as great as they say
                  how will I know when it comes my way?"

                Nephew, love is in it's meanings
                  as a chameleon in it's changing 
                Feelings of love vary to all
                  as shades of a chameleon on a wall

                Like the mournful song of a whippoorwill
                  cutting through a fall evening's chill
                Love bares you to the core
                  knowing one's voice you'll hear no more

                Like a blazing touch searing your soul
                  engulfing your oneness to make you unwhole
                Love shall imbed in you a need
                  whose fire only she can feed

                As hot chocolate on a winter's day
                  spreads to keep the chill at bay
                Love will saturate with peace
                  thoughts that once would cause unease

                Like the rays of a summer dawn spreading forth
                  awakening God's creations on earth
                Love will make of you a new man
                  as you reach to enclose your newborn's hand

                As the earth is reborn by the spring rain
                  man can be reborn by Jesus' pain
                For this is another type of love
                  capable only of the one above

                Remember that from love we both were born
                  as soil encased seeds erupt to greet the morn
                Like a seed; love will nurture, grow, and die
                  leaving memories to help us survive.

                                               William B. Morris

Subject: Female wishes to exchange email...
Date: 14 Dec 92 17:51:05 -0600
Organization: University of Wisconsin Eau Claire

Hello...

I am a SWF in Wisconsin and I will say that after reading most of these
ads, I am surprised at how many people complain about other people's
self-descriptions.

I myself find it hard to picture any of these people...it is hard to 
conjure up an image from a physical desc.  To me, height and hair color
and all that doesn't really matter...it's the personality.  Most people
I know say it may be fun to have Barbie (or Ken for that matter) on your
arm for a few weeks, but after a while it gets dull.  You can talk with
someone for a lifetime, but most people get tired of looking at someone
in a short while.  Just an observation.

I am interested in exchanging email with any single guys out there.  I
have found that email is a good way to get to know someone.  I do respond
pretty quickly, usually within a day.  I just like meeting people and getting
to know them better.

I suppose I will be flamed by any number of people, but what the hell.  I
am not enclosing a physical desc here because unless we ever meet it really
doesn't matter...to me looks are not important.  (And to avoid flames, no I
am not uglier than sin, I have been told I am attractive.)  I am not a 
computer geekette...I just enjoy using a computer.  However, I am more
interested in International Business than programming.

You can email me at:

You really should switch to decaf, Connie.  No offense intended, but
not everyone has access to a threaded news reader all the time.  On a
normal day, I'm lucky enough to have a more sophisticated news reader
at my disposal, and I can choose which messages I want to read.  Not so
today.  And I'm sure there are others who ONLY have the simple readers
where every message must be read - no subject preview/select.

My point?  Don't assume that every male who happens to read the first
line of your post has had a chance to screen out inappropriate
messages.  If you save your insults for the END of your posting, you
can be pretty sure that the guys who are still reading know full well
that they shouldn't be responding to your ad anyway, and us poor,
sleep-deprived, cranky programmers will just pass right on by and
never know the difference...

(For the benefit of anyone out there who might get the wrong idea here,
I'm not preaching censorship - just pointing out that insults aimed at
people who go around answering inappropriate ads sometimes hit more
people than intended if they are placed at the beginning of a post
where they can't be missed by someone who has to look at the first
screen of every message - that's all.)

pleasure of discussing why life in the dating scene sucks so bad, with  me 
all you have to do is turn on your computer and I will be more than glad to

Having seen the posts mentioned, I'm actually surprised that so many men(?)
took them seriously!  Serious enough to bother replying, that is.

Even if you defend yourself with the pathetic excuse of replying in jest,
the posts were an obvious case of "terminal fraud".

Gentlemen, perhaps a little bit of discernment and discretion on your
behalf would allow you to spot the "fakes".  Please, your actions
almost make me believe that our sex of the species actually deserves
the miserable reputation that women think we have.

And no whining about there not being enough women posting ads, either.
If you can't muster the courage to write your own personal, don't
bother posting.  (I did and it brought a delightful response!).  Besides,
as the old saying goes, "Those who talk the most, know the least."

However, considering the predicament of the fellow who posted the
public apology, perhaps the lady would enjoy some mail.  Obviously,
she is going to be without an SO in the very near future.  :)

Howdy. 

I am a GWM, 29, 6'3", 265, hairy/bearded (and balding) man looking 
for another special man in Arizona (or Southwest).

I have a great (sometimes wicked) sense of humor and try not to take life
too seriously.  I enjoy hiking a great deal in this beautiful state.  I also
enjoy camping, but have found that the thin line between solitude and 
loneliness can be broken when camping alone.  Thus I stick to day hikes.

I also enjoy eating, travelling, singing, flannel, and new experiences.  

I'm rather impulsive, often hopping in my car on Saturday mornings for an
unplanned weekend excursion.

I wish I was a forest ranger, but am a computer type.

I've been content as a single person, but am now ready to consider the 
advantages of having a relationship.

I generally pass for straight, though I no longer consider that of 
great importance.

I'm looking for someone with similar or compatible interests,
with an average to stocky build.  An interest and ability to hike would be
very nice.  

I don't care if you're in or out of the closet, but please be comfortable with
being gay.

I'm versatile.

I do prefer healthy, non-drug users.  


Questions?  

Thanks
