It seems that all the Single Female Persons I know have dropped offline
from fear of committment, fear of lack of committment, marriage, or
moves to a faraway place. SO,

You are a cat person or a (well-behaved) dog person, you like acoustic
or folk music, like to ride your bike halfway up Page Mill Road, have a
Private Pilot's license, are physically fit, not necessarily into
"getting buffed", and live on the Peninsula or nearby, or all, or one
or more of the above. If you're a Lyle Lovett fan, that's big plus...

What about me? I'm MS in engineering, work at a Big Silicon Valley
Computer Company. My interests include music, movies, bicycling,
cooking, and Bush-Quayle bashing. I play acoustic guitar, ride a road
bike, have a pilot's license, and read two or three novels a week.  I'm
35, never married, brown hair, 6 feet even, 180 lbs, fit but not
"buffed", not eagerly looking for "that special person", but
nevertheless not relationship-impaired.

Looking forward to meeting you soon...

I saw Elton John/Eric Clapton at Shea Stadium last Friday.  I was
expecting Elton to play all of his most recent songs, but he suprised
the hell out of me by playing maybe 3 recent songs at most, and the
majority of the rest from the early 70's.  A lot of Yellow Brick Road
stuff, etc.  If you have the opportunity to see this show then DO!

	I am a 6' 2" tall SWM, I have light brown hair, hazel green eyes, and I
have an athletic body type.  I am in my twenties. I have had women tell me I am
attractive, good-looking, cute, gorgeous, sweet, and all kinds of things.  But
yet I am loveless.  Wheever I meet someone I am interested in she always seems
to be taken whether through marriage, engagement, or seriously dating someone.
So I gave up looking.  I've been busy earning my degree so i have not had much
time meet new people. I figured I would place an Ad and so I could talk with
some of you ladies out there, if there is any?  It seems everyone places
standards in thier Ads.  You know, what they like in a person what turns them
on.  Well if you must know mine here they are. You have to be a female thats a  
must  A good sense of humor helps.  Age 18-25, older maybe, younger NOT!  I am  
attracted to athletic body types.  Color does not matter I've been out with
Oriental and Afro-America, but mostly I've dated Caucasian females.  Women who
are sensitive, romantic, and erotic are a real turn on to me.  Well anyway what
I am trying to accoplish is to talk with different types of women. It does not
matter where you live East, West coast or in Europe somewhere.  I'm not looking
for a wife, a date, a relationship, or some sort of sex.  But who knows where 
thing can lead. Email me and tell me what on your mind.

        I have a few random thoughts on these newsgroups and on their general
effectiveness...  First being that males outnumber females by about 25 to 1    
or so.  Second being that there are far too many followup articles to alt.     
personals.  I just checked and there were no ads but there were 16 followups   
to old ads.  Come on people, take it to e-mail...                              

        These groups do work (sort of).  I met a very interesting person a     
couple of months ago and we hit it off really well.  Unforturnately things     
accelerated too quickly (use your imagination) and we no longer speak.         
Basically what happened was that she wasn't really ready for a relationship    
in spite of her posting an ad but that is besides the point...                 

        I am a 21 year old single male.  I'm hyper, "down to earth", a good    
conversationalist, probably a bit too physical (I love giving and getting      
backrubs, snuggling and all that nonsense :-)  ), and I get attached very      
quickly.  I'm looking for someone special for friendship at the minimum and    
a passionate relationship at the other extreme.  If you wish to know more      
about me, send me mail and I promise that I'll mail you back.  And you can     
always "finger" me at jbgoldsm@cats.ucsc.edu but please make sure that your 
hands aren't too cold.

Single father.  Successful systems manager  and professional, classically
trained jazz musician.  Vegetarian.  Honest, open and sincere.          

I'm 5'5", mid 30s, somewhat overweight, enjoy many topics.  Enjoys most sports
including tennis, ping pong, bicycling and swimming.   Nature lover,
non-conformist, serious, play and work hard.  Published writer.   Not one for
bars and pickups.  

Your only requirements are honesty and sincerity. Would prefer someone under
5'6", vegetarian, musical, sensual, has the patience of a saint, reasonably
attractive, non-conformist, Jewish,  well read, enjoys sports, playful, non
smoker, etc, but... the reality is, each person is an individual and as long as
you're honest and sincere, we can communicate.

I live in a nice area near the beach and like most Floridians, an EX New
Yorker.

Hi.  I am the person you may know as "ap.4499@cupid.sai.com" sort of.
That's because I did not write the personals ad that was sent
across this network.  I know, I know... don't flame.  I shouldn't
have left my computer alone.

However, I read the ad and most of it was accurate, and I've looked
through the responses the ad received and some of you are pretty
interesting people.  So if you were going to respond to my ad, go
ahead and do so.  Just don't get your hopes up -- I don't really have
a bunch of salsa and lambada albums lying around.  :-)

(By the way, the salsa/lambada line was one of the few things in "my"
ad that wasn't at all true.  I think it was placed in there as a hint
for me as to the true origin of the ad.  And I'm gonna kill her...)

So far, all of the replies have been male -- good to know there are so
many open-minded men out there.

Any open-minded women?

Hello there,
  I have been reading this group for a little while now
and have just had the inclination to try advertising myself.
I'm not too sure, but I think this is the place for it, so
here goes...

  I am a single, Filipino/American male student at Moravian
College. My degree is in Computer Science and this is my
junior year. I enjoy almost any music I can sing to, and even
though I can't sing very well, it makes me happy. I also have
an active interest in role-playing. I helped out to found
our College's first ever Role-Player's Guild, which will
be in full-swing this semester. I also enjoy chess and other
games of strategy. I play MU*s. For those unfamiliar, they
are like the Net version of role-playing, but, as almost
everything on the Net, is much preferable. I also enjoy 
physical activity: tennis, swimming, and the occasional
football/softball game.
  This is about all I can think of right now, but I'm sure
I left out things you would want to know... Just email me
with any questions and I'll get back to you via email or,
if there is enough interest, through posting.
  The reason I am seeking email is that I have an inordinately
heavy load of classes this semester and spend most of my time
at the computer. Consequently, less and less of my time is
spent seeing/talking to people. I would like email from anyone
interested in correspondence with me...

Thank you and I hope that wasn't too bad,

Hi!  I have met a few female PHD's, no MBA's, and a few MSc's from my post
after getting my PhD.  One friend flew in to Dallas on her way from Oklahoma
City to San Antonio from a conference and I took her to 6 Flags amusement park
Friday night and then showed her the town Saturday.

ANYWAY, 

1. I have another pass to 6 Flags for Monday September 6...anyone interested?
2. I need a gambling partner.  Lost a LOT when in Atlantic City last weekend.
	Lost the $8K I won last year, and more.  (I said a lot!)
	Therefore, I need someone to haul me to the boardwalk, my room, what-
	ever when I bet > $500.  Of course, I get comped meals, rooms, shows,
	etc., which I will share.

I still, of course, am interested in general companionship, finding a drummer,
conquering a small country etc.  All applicants considered.

Me: 
I am a 28 year old PhD in Artificial Intelligence, am a
semi-professional musician, poet and author (read: I can't live on $8,000
a year).  I play and attend music, classic films (the Kimball Art museum
shows films every weekend), theatre.  I also travel a LOT; last year I went
to Australia, New Zealand, Hawaii, Denver, LA, Philadelphia, 
NY, etc.

Personality-wise, I like to believe I am the only Jew to have skinhead
friends, pacifist to have friends with colors, and the only person in the
US with a "hierarchical planning song"

moonlight.  I like to water skiing, swim, and do a lot of photography.  I
enjoy being outdoors, and like the wilderness.  Some of my hobies are to
help people when I can, and to talk to people who just need someone to talk
to.  I am 6'4" and I weigh 155, and I have short blond hair and the biggest

	I can stand & watch the teardrops fall
	Stiff cold silence, pain most of all
	That silence is the barrier to my cries
	I hear no words, you tell no lies
	Remembering back to trust long gone
	The forest held love, I run as a fawn
	Scared to return to the pain I once felt
	Sly as fox your cards were well dealt
	I can't forget when near the scent
	The sharp thorns tear into all the time we spent
	His chase among animals, a wolf to the deer
	The betrayal of another is what I fear
	A place where it's peaceful and happiness froze
	When captured by the beauty of the "Sweet Rose"
