> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by dropzone \* > \*\*Get lost, **Tristan** , or I’ll tell your wife. \*\* Yeah… heck, last time I tried hooking up, all she wanted to know is if the woman in question was into chicks, or willing to babysit.

I’m a 22-year-old Caucasian female living in beautiful Rochester, MN. I’m a medical secretary. I enjoy reading, horror mostly, or whatever strikes my fancy. I sing, play the flute, and I’m attempting to learn the guitar and piano. I have also been known to write the occasional bit of fiction. I once had a friend say to me, “gee, Mishell, you’re the meanest friend I have.” She meant it in complimentary way, however, in that I’m sarcastic and bitchy, but in a really good way. Yeah. However, the sarcastic, bitchy side doesn’t become evident until you get to know me, I’m usually very shy around people I don’t know well, this either manifests itself in extreme weirdness, or an inability to say much of anything, weird or otherwise. I have a twisted sense of humor, I once broke the ice on a first date by telling the lucky guy the story of Susan DaLucci and the Miracle of Life. If he didn’t laugh his ass off with me, I probably wouldn’t have gone out with him again. Unfortunately, he turned out to be a total ass anyway. Anyway, I suppose I should go into what I look for in a man…as long as you’re taller than me (I’m 5’6") and have good hygiene, looks don’t matter too much to me. Hell, you don’t even have to be taller than me if you’re really terrific personality-wise. You do, however, have to have a good sense of humor, be intelligent, and enjoy music, and just generally be a decent human being. Anyway, picture available upon request, use the email address in my profile, and please specify your preference, scary Halloween picture from this year, or 5-year-old graduation picture. ---

Alright all you dopers, this is my profile. Come on in and let me give you the tour. Right here is me. I am currently living in Las Vegas Nevada. I am 28. I’m kind of short and fat but still handsome. No really! (WELL… check the people pages and judge for yourself.) I have dark soulfull eyes, a great smile and thick brown hair (I will never go bald). I am a nice guy, I like to think that I have a good heart. I am VERY giving and loving and I like to dote (is that the right word?) over women, but I DO NOT smother so don’t worry. I have a good sense of humor if just a little bit quirky, people seem to love that about me however. Right over here is my job. I am a “Computer Helpdesk Tech”. You know when your having trouble with your computer so you call that technical support number and sit on hold for 3 hours before someone comes on and tries to help you with your problem but usually doesn’t? Thats me! A little farther down we have my hobbies, they’re kind of vacant right now but in the past have included all variaties of big boy toys. Radio controlled cars, planes and boats mostly. For about 12 years I kept and bred dozens of varieties of reptiles. I love animals, I am a big animal guy (no jokes now!). I have always considered myself a dog person but have recently decided I like cats too, and not just because they taste like chicken! Lets continue the tour. Over here is the door to my heart, for right now i’m just going to open that a crack and let you look in. As you can see its very spacious and very inviting. It looks a little empty though doesn’t it? Yup, lately its been just me in there, but i’m hoping to find that special someone to share that with too. They say there is a special someone out there for everyone right? What am I looking for in a woman? I am looking for a good hearted woman who is not afraid to give emotionally. I am a “touchy feely” kind of person and I want that in a woman too. I want a cuddler and a hugger. Is that so bad? I am looking for a woman who has a mindset more towards a long term relationship rather then someone looking for a fling or two. I am looking for a woman to share special moments with, to wonder at the stars with, to talk to and share with, for someone to feel whole with. I am looking for someone who is, like me, looking for that special someone. Then again… I wouldn’t mind just corresponding with people. It would be nice just to be able to talk with people, even through email. 🙂 ---

Whammo- you crack me up… and thank you for not showing us the spacious bathrooms in the tour… dropzone- there’s nothing wrong with single folks in my (as yet still fictional) thread… heck, I sometimes think that if it weren’t for booze and single chicks, I would only have sex with my wife… hold on, let me play that one back… Hmmmmmmm… ---

Hi I’m Emanuel from NJ. I’m 26 black hair, brown eyes, glasses. I work in networking tech support for a mail order compay. I enjoy all types of music, concerts, movies, driving, talking, and living. I’ve been known to decide at 1am on a Saturday morning to drive up to Boston for the weekend. I like to travel. I’m looking for someoone who can handle my poor singing, bad sense of humor, and who will accept me for being me. Someone to cuddle with, watch the stars with and spend lots of time with. I’m not a smotherer and also am looking for someone who will not force me to give up my friends. I’m not against a Long Distance Relationship as long as we both are willing to make it work. My email address is [emanuel@levy.net](mailto:emanuel@levy.net) ---

Hi. I’m me. 19 yrs old, tall (six foot) long blond hair (soon to be given two streaks) blue grey eyes, pic on people pages and/or via email. Female/girl/chica. People say I can be intellegent, I wonder because I manage to be so silly most of the time. I’ve read a lot, I’m interested in just about everything with the exception of what I’m neutral on. (I don’t care how machines work as long as I can make them do what I want them to do.) I love music, art, theatre, chemistry, literature, philosophy, math, people, animals, fairies… I’ll stop, I think you get the idea. I’m currently a student at the University of Pittsburgh majoring in Chemical Engineering and Philosophy with a minor in Screwing Off. I can’t spell. Well, this post lightened boredom until now, so I’ll finish it off. Ah…the fun in my life. ---

Medea, ``` Intelligence does not preclude being a little silly. Maybe it even demands it at times (didn't the MIT kids take apart a police car and reassemble it on a dome? With a dummy in uniform, complete with cofee and donut?). ``` And you’ll get your tinkertoys - don’t they use the models in P.Chem anymore? Been there, done that. And with you and Topaz, we have some tall young lovelies, don’t we? ---
