SWM 29. Intelligent, mature, and yet somehow still fun. Very active. Trustworthy. Ravishingly handsome. Slight hick. Mildly shallow. Only smokes when on fire. Likes everything, but especially the outdoors. Firmly rooted in Minnesota (an imaginary state located near the North Pole).

Material benefits of selecting me include a quaint but nice place to live, convertible rides up the shore of Lake Superior during the summer, really tasty lasagna, and free undergraduate tuition.

Says me, Silvy; you’re smack dab in the middle of _my_ league, though…

“Single male law student, 27, has neither the cash nor the time for the kind of relationship a gal deserves, so he probably shouldn’t be posting this anyway.” Any takers? hehe

_Hmmm…should I go metaphorical?_

Classic car in need of tuning. Often changes the oil but needs a good mechanic with skilled hands. Very low milage, sleek looking, and fun to drive. Shifts up to fifth and really gets to purring when the clutch is handled just right. Are you able to control its stick?  
_um…nah. How about cliche’ ridden?_

SM ISO 3 foot tall F with a detachable jaw and a flat head to rest beers on. Must be deaf, mute, and blind, but still able to enjoy sports on the weekends. Nymphomaniacs a plus.

- you know, what about the truth? By God, that just might work!\*

SM in search of caring intelligent F. Must be able to understand 50% of the jokes that spew out of my mouth and laugh at 75% of them. Must be able to actually carry on a conversation about more than one topic. Must not be afraid to make the first move or take the initiative in certain sexual situations because lord knows I will be. Someone who can be independent, but, when with me isn’t looking at her watch every two seconds as if there is someplace better to be. Must be honest and able to give your real opinion about things because I’ll be more hurt when you’re deceptive than when you’re trying to spare my feelings. In other words, someone who reads my posts without saying “what a fucking prick.”

Yer screwed there, man! 😉

As my announced goal is to get all Dopers paired successfully with somebody, anybody, so I don’t have to listen to you whine about how miserable you are being single, I’m just checking the thread.

**Falcon** and **dpr** , a mere planetary diameter shouldn’t stand in your way. Nor half its circumference, if you mean it.

And, to demonstrate that I don’t show favorites,

**Nymysys** and **dpr** , a mere planetary diameter shouldn’t stand in your way. Nor half its circumference, if you mean it.

**Cyndar** , have I told you lately that, if I met any of your criteria, and if I were not married… Hmmmm, guess I didn’t tell you THIS time, either.

_laughs_ **dropzone** , your single mindedness is to be envied. 🙂

And alas, since **Nym** is after dpr as well, I should probably bow out gracefully, since I _know_ I can’t compete.

So **Tripler** , how YOU doin? 😃

Answer 1:  
“Hey, I just got the hang of quoting, d’ja expect me to be able to preview also??”

Answer 2:  
"Maybe 😉 "

Answer 3:  
“Hi Opal!”

Answer 4:  
…  
…  
…Still thinking of answer 4, let’s just leave it at answer 2.  
[sub]Brain was thinking “…(and I do mean gentleman)…”.  
Wait a minnit, I don’t do mean gentlemen.  
Um, I mean, um, what I want to say is…I want a “nice” gentleman.

Aaaaarrrrghh.  
I’m just going to shut up now, before I get into more verbal trouble!

And I was going to add in a new sig - “I have a choral fixation”. Guess this wouldn’t be the right time.

Well, **Michi** , I’ve always thought that if you weren’t so damn geographically undesirable, I’d be all over you like white on rice. But I’ve done the long-distance thing about three too many times. Too bad I wasn’t on the boards during my year in S. Florida… :sigh:

Alrighty then, my turn …  
SWM, 31, 5’10", 190 lbs. (all muscle, well, some muscle, well, you won’t be completely embarrased to introduce me to your friends) blonde/blue, getting a little thin on top, Wall Street lawyer, interests include biking, snorkling, and pointless political/social/religious debates, atheist but respectful of religious belief  
ISO  
SF, any race/color, anywhere from Philly to Hartford (will consider D.C.) Must be: intelligent, funny, curious, susceptible to goofy romantic gestures. Preferred if: petite, artistic, feels unconditional love for Joel and Maggie of “Northern Exposure”, non-smoker (I need a reason to quit ;). Religion not an issue, if respectful of my lack of belief.

Lordy, I can’t believe I’m doing this. Here we go…

SWF, 27, short, curvy. Actress/model/psychologist/hedonist. Pierced/tattooed yuppie. Gregarious, ex-Mensa non-joiner. Against organized religion and all other forms of inanity. Will not bide, nor bed, idiots. ISO M with amazing taste in all things. Class and style more important than looks. Well, maybe equally important. Willing to travel long distances, but must give good phone. \<evil grin\>
