How you doin': the Doper romance thread.

I’m hardly looking, but Airman Doors and I met here on the SDMB about 9 years ago. We met IRL at one of Jonathan Chance’s Dope-A-Ween parties. We got married the following May, and eight years ago, we spawned the first Doper baby. We’re still happily married.

It can and does happen.

Hmmmm…I guess I’ll bite. 48 year old female Catholic. I live outside of Nashville, although I’m not a native Nashvillian. Relatively sane. Average looking, average weight. Too many animals, but not (yet) in the hoarding sense. Love cooking tools more than cooking. I like reading and puzzles. I don’t drink, smoke or do drugs. I’m looking for an intelligent guy who likes animals; preferably Catholic or at least religious. If they drink, that’s okay, as long as it’s not to excess. Someone who treats others well.

Looks at Kyla’s OP…

Well, before making any move…
How hard a vegetarian you are? :slight_smile:
I actually agree with all the rest.

Day-um. Does Dope membership come with a time machine? I mean, where were you guys back when I was single?? I mean I love my wife and all, but she isn’t a Doper.

I think I’ll play just to mix up the age brackets a bit :wink: I love meeting interesting people, and by virtue of being a Doper you automatically qualify!

I’m 26, male the last time I checked, and look like this or this (far right). I’m still a student, having worked a variety of fascinating jobs between scattered university years. Studying to become an environmental scientist-journalist.

I love frolicking out in nature and lazying around in the three or four days of sunshine we get here in the Humboldt forests, very much aware that someday this activity is going to turn me into a redwood widowmaker shiskabob. I’m what you might call a dabbler of physicality, currently indulging in a healthily haphazard mix of yoga, climbing, hiking, cycling, swimming, and martial arts.

To balance that out, here at home I spend a rather unhealthy amount of time on these boards. I also make websites and do photography as a hobby and I work with a couple of nonprofits whenever I can. One day, naturally, I’m going to turn everything I’ve learned into my own Great American Novel About a Very Ordinary American Life – printed on 100% post-consumer paper with soy ink, of course.

Love animals, no children, and don’t have a third nipple. I like short runs on the beach and so should you.

Aw, shucks, ummm, yeah. (Where is the thankful smiley when I need it?)

Seriously, wow–thanks, folks. Not sure what else to say, but your words of support mean a lot. So, even though words are not quite adequate, the best I can do is say … thank you.

Too bad that interstellar colony ships are still several hundred years away.

In a thread I can’t locate from before the late, unlamented pay-to-post era, we listed a couple dozen marriages of couples who’d met on the Dope. And that was several years ago, so the number’s only gone up since then.

Lots of smart, geeky, irreverent people here. If that’s what you’re looking for (and if you’re a Doper and single, that’s probably the case), this is a good place to be looking.

I don’t eat meat? I don’t really know what you’re asking here.

Well, AFAIK there are different levels of vegetarianism, for example: some vegetarians also avoid eggs and other dairy products. And there are some that do not avoid fish and still claim to be vegetarians. Had to ask because then I would know what I should ditch out of the menu. And for the right person I think it is a sacrifice that it is worth doing :slight_smile:

Get a room!

Smooo…

Rats! :smiley:

Still, your thoughts are much appreciated.

This place is still better than most dating sites, because there’s a community. And even I came close to meeting an SO here once.

I’m happily married, a Yankee fan and a Spartan, so looks like three strikes for me. Good luck, though.

Wait, that’s National League? Ooh, yeah. Thanks for playing. That’s inferior baseball, there.

HAHAHAHAHAHA.

Two words: designated. hitter.

You, sir, are a horrible person, then.

Exactly why it makes for better baseball.

Seek help, man. Seek help.

Just to prove that all dating sites are full of dudes.

I’m 27 male 6’6" and live in southern Colorado. I spend my working hours raping the Earth and my off time drinking or playing in the mountains. I enjoy big vacations and am using them to slowly explore the world.

I’m basically a big dumb jock who’s looking for someone to hangout with that I can also fool around with.

Most important I’m a Dodgers fan and all Giants’ fans can join the Yankees’ fans in hell.

I’m in the doper photo gallery but I can’t link to it at work.
