Somewhere I read that in China, as a result of political pressures
and regulations, that the ratio of females:males: was 1:15. After
reading numerous posts in this group, I'm just not sure whether
the alt.personals female:male ratio is 1:10, 1:100, or 1:1000 
(i.e. the ratio appears uncertain to over an order of magnitude -
not many things in the physical universe are this uncertain!).
What gives? 

As for, "friendship and fun" - I think it's the politically correct
phrase for "if I can win your trust, will you sleep with me?". Hey,
we maybe guys, but we're not stupid!

SC (candy is dandy, but liquor is quicker)

p.s. oh, Heather, just pick the one which lives closest and 'mv' the
rest to '/dev/null' - er, just a suggestion....

Look at this!  This isn't even a flame, at least not a good one.  It's all
just babble.  If you're going to flame, make an attempt for quality rather
than quanity.  Everything up there is just simple ramblings.  It reads
like you're thinking faster than you can type.  Even the sentence
structure is wrong (ie 2 spaces after a period).  Come on, at least put
some effort into it.

Personally, they don't do much for me... actually, they tend to be something
of a turnoff in most cases.

This may be my preferences in women, though... I tend to prefer someone very
traditional and feminine while I tend to associate tattoos with a different
sort of person.

The one or two women I've knwo with tattoos who didn't turn me off usually
associated them with a "wild and crazy" period in their life.

        Okay ladies, here's a new twist on the dating game.  I'll tell you a bit
about me and you write back telling me what you think a perfect first date
would be.  Be honest, outragous, sexy, or romantic, I don't really care
just make it interesting.  Send your replys via e-mail and I'll be sure to 
write back.

        So, about me...
        I'm a nineteen year old student, six-five with blue eyes and dark hair.
I love to go to concerts (no hard rock and definately no country), play
racquetball, and quiet cuddling evenings watching Letterman (or any favorite
after dinner entertainment). As for hobbies, I enjoy camping, hiking in the
woods, and messing around on the internet, along with any other activities that
might catch my attention.

        So send me a line if you find this to be an interesting post...  And be
sure to make your response just as interesting. :-)

	What sickens me is not fags, lesbos, etc. It's the need for people 
such as Todd posting the above quoted message.  Kudos to you sir, and 
shame on those who were targeted by him.  Homosexual, bisexual, 
heterosexual, black, white, green we are ALL human beings, let us live
and let live.  Why should any one be bothered by any one else's sexual
preferences?  If A and B are homosexual men, what business is it C's?
Oh, sure, if A and B engage in certain acts, like rape, child molestation, 
then it DOES become society's business, but other wise, leave people to
themeselves.  

	I hope this subject dies and neve needs to be restated.

Well, Greg-o,

replied.  BooHooHoo.

Grow up.  Why must there always be a backlash for something (and this is one
too) when that person is only looking for a particular thing rather than
a general catagory, i.e. _romantics_, as opposed to jerks who've got nothing
better to do than read news all day waiting for a female personal to
pop up to respond to with sexual innuendos and hate mail?

btw, if you do decide to respond (oh please, greg, you're making me so _wet_

Well, If you have a seat on my couch, I'll explain it...  How bout going
for an audition to be a net-boss.  I have just issued myself a degree which
allows me to appoint additional net-bosses.  Care to try out for the job? ;-)
Don't worry, even if you blow the audition, the job might not be lost. (eww,
bad puns...)
