Hmm… I’m planning to go back for my LLM next year. I was planning on G’Town or GWU, but I hear U of Chicago has a pretty good program, and I have lot’s of friends in that town if things don’t work out between us …

Oh, you’re so cute when you deny the obvious! Of course you’re out of my league. You’re out of nearly everyone’s league really.

Well, no, not proof exactly. But I recognize an absolutely wonderful girl when I see her, and I can just tell that you’re out of my league.

Sure, I’d _like_ to be wrong about that, but I don’t want to get my hopes up.

Hi, Nymysys. My name is David. I’m a writer/director here in Los Angeles. Not an idiot, I swear. I have good shoes. I make a mean cheesecake. I like dogs, if you happen to have one. And it just so happens I already have a plane ticket to Chicago for New Years. Any plans? You know, if you don’t find anyone better as a result of this thread! 😛

If there are any single lady dopers around Austin - any of you interested a '65 vintage Englishman? I’m desperate and solvent. Just form an orderly queue. No muppets, please.

Here’s what I posted in a similar thread a while back, with a few modifications:

[Here](http://www.geocities.com/sdpeoplepages/porcupine.html)’s what I look like on a good day. [Here](http://www.geocities.com/barb_porcupine/porcupine.jpg)’s what I look like on normal day.  
Age: 35  
Sex: Yes, please.  
Orientation: Straight  
Marital Status: Single, never been married. No kids. Two cats, one dog.  
Occupation: Software Engineer Geek, but I don’t like to talk about geek-stuff when I’m not at work.  
Location: The exciting NW suburbs of Chicago, though born and raised a south-sider.  
Religion: None. Don’t care what his affiliation is and expect the same courtesy.  
Interests: Just hangin around and BSing with my friends - if it weren’t for recuperation time and potential brain damage due to excessive alcohol consumption, a ChiDope every weekend would be to my liking. I like going into the city for theater, to go to a good restaurant, have a few drinks, wander around, just enjoy the city. I love to travel and like to have one overseas trip a year, minimum. My dream vacation is an African safari. Used to be a voracious reader, but got out of the habit. And of course, spending too much time here at SDMB.

Looking for someone who’s honest, compassionate, knows what he wants, has a twisted sense of humor, knows how to use his tongue, and who isn’t intimidated by an intelligent, successful, assertive woman with big tits. A calming influence would be nice, as I tend to be rather manic at times. I am looking for serious fun leading to a LTR, and would like to lower my score on purity tests. And of course that elusive quality known as “chemistry.” I would consider marriage, but it is not a goal. I would consider having kids, but it is not a goal.

Men on the rebound, men who are separated but not actually divorced, men who are divorced but not over the ex, and men who aren’t ready for a relationship need not apply. So if the thought of going on a second date scares you, please don’t bother with a first date.

The last singles thread we didn’t have to put how much we weighed, or how tall we were, or if we were actually breathing without the help of foreign dictators. So much pressure to get the answers right.  
I am pat.  
I weigh about 180 pounds. All of it is fat, not an inch of muscle. No worries there.  
I heigh about six foot, or five eleven if you believe the bastard carnival guy who won’t give me money for him incorrectly guessing my height.

I like muppets. In fact, I openly welcome any and all muppets to respond. Especially that Prairie Dawn. Va Va Voom.  
(And if Grover is available, I am willing to go same sex/different species.)

I live in California. Which is in the United States, on the western coast. Near the Pacific Ocean. But not so near that it is actually in it.

I like stuff. But, not too much stuff, because that is just ridiculous. I mean, just enough is fine.

While watching this video(that I made to tell a bit about myself), please try to remember; the state makes me wear that outfit, I cannot help that flouresecent orange is not easy on the eyes.

That’s because I’m a big, fat f\*ck and don’t like it when people prejudge themselves, or others, by that.

AS FOR YOU FOLKS WHO THINK THAT OTHER DOPERS ARE “OUT OF YOUR LEAGUE,” this ain’t high school. I’ve found that “leagues” don’t exist when you get older. So if anybody is feeling bad about themselves and not willing to ask, say, **SilverFire** out because of imagined league issues, LISTEN TO WHAT SHE IS SAYING and ask her out.

\<serious cliche warning\>  
**Falcon** , all’s fair in love and war. Bowing out gracefully is sweet and gallant, but will leave you lonesome in the long run. You have to fight for what you want in this crazy world.
