Tall, insecure, painfully shy 26 yo guy who will talk your ear off. Unable to go more than ten minutes without reading, quoting random movies or spouting football facts. Prefer painfully beautiful people who are cooler than I. Must know what to do when I say “I’m restless…NOW!” and have the ability to look interested at football games and at art museums. I will stare into space for long periods of time, occasionally respond to statements you made yesterday and mumble about rubber piggies at socially awkward moments.
5’9", 123 lb WASP brunette female. Drinker, smoker, seeking comfortable, convenient relationship with guy of same upbringing, ethnicity and religion. Must be tall, fit, dark-haired, good-looking, and able to entertain yourself without me about a third of the time. Occasional separate vacations okay. No PDA. No weird regional accents. Sailing skills, hiking interest a plus.
33 year old (soon to be 34) male dork, seeks female who’s willing to put up with his half-mad schemes and mood swings. Promises not to become the next Unibomber or Ed Gein if she’s willing to put up with him. Will overlook any flaws she might have if she’s able over look my smoking and habitual slovenly nature. Tend to have biting humor and can really be an asshole when I get my dander up (note: No one I’ve ever dated has gotten my dander up.) Don’t care what kind of social activities you’re interested in, just tell me if you want to go out and where you want to go, as I’d probably just want to stay in and snuggle, but I’m willing to go someplace if you’ve got any ideas.
aenea, I tried to convince a friend of mine that a “Geek Dating Service” would be a great business to start, but he wouldn’t listen to me.
Finally, I’ve got to say that I’d be pretty damn happy to settle down with any of the females that have posted to this thread. (Exceptions being Ginger, [Sorry, I’ve sworn off married women. Not that you’re disappointed by this news.] and monica [Sorry, but there’s laws against such things. However, feel free to look me up when you turn 18, assuming you don’t mind hanging around an old fart.] All of you sound fantastic. (Seriously, I mean that.)
TVGuy, I think I’d be your guy if I wasn’t so hopelessly straight.
Not really looking but what the hell…
6’, 180lb male, 35, brown hair, blue/green/grey eyes depending on lighting and mood, remarkably trim (but not fit) even though I don’t exercise, smoker, occasional drinker than can’t hold his liquor anymore but hysterically funny until passing out, likes short walks on the beach but midnight skinny-dipping even better, painfully UNshy, will try anything once and most things twice. Does not like mind games or beating around the bush. Computer, audio, video and gadget freak/geek. Likes sci-fi and fantasy books (but not a ST or SW geek), Monty Python (geek), movies of all genres and time periods and will quote said movies for no reason. Not really fond of watching sports but will watch tennis and pro-wrestling. Fair to middling at darts and raquetball. Ex-military. Likes women who are able to care and fend for themselves, intelligent, spontaneous, funny, likes fine dining and wine but able to cook when needed, well-read, well-traveled, able to hold up their end of a conversation and MUST adore cats. Looks are optional but ideal is Far Eastern build and features with shoulder length straight, dark hair; Winona Ryder look-alikes also welcome. Slight European accent a plus. Some emotional baggage acceptable. Silence during movie time a must. Must be able to tolerate dragon collectibles and show interest from time to time. Obsessing over what other people think about you, your looks or weight a turnoff. No fundies, no bigots, no shriekers, no exceptions.
Addendum to my ad: Make that thinning brown hair. Wife gets final approval on all applicants.
Hmmmm…
18 year old female. Have a job. 5 foot, with ringlets. Toned, yet I have an arse, but small boobs. I look younger than I am, I don’t particularly like my face. Loves sport (especially adventure sport), except golf, motor racing and cricket. Can do flips, and 2 way splits. Love socialising, love being by self. Hate animosity, love an argument. Love the bush, love the sea, love the city. Love camping, love a night all dressed up to go out on the town. Down to earth. 1st year uni. I have friends but I wish I had more. I wish I was more outgoing. Sometimes I have a lack of things to say to people, so I feel boring. (But get me going and you won’t stop me.)
I think I am the personification of contradiction. shrugs
SWF, 47. Way too smart for my own good, but interesting to talk to, with a wide variety of interests. Read a lot, mostly nonfiction(currently on theories of the mind and evolution of language). Extremely funny, in a very dry way – lots of ironic commentary and word play. Reasonably attractive: dark brown hair, dark brown eyes. Tallish (5’8’), and I gained a bunch of weight when I quit smoking three years ago. Recovering alcoholic/addict (clean 16-1/2 years, so it’s not a big deal – I don’t even mind if you have an occasional drink around me – but I can’t be around heavy drinkers). People generally like me – I’m very nice and, as I said, very funny – but I’m hard to get to know. 47 and never married? Think about it. On the other hand, once you win my trust, I’m extremely loyal – and I’m still friendly with most of my exes. Tap dancer who loves old movie musicals. Avid gardener. Cat owner (but only one!). Sucker for reality TV.
Wow.
I’m impressed! You folks all actually sound like neat, wonderful, wierd people.
Hey Tucker, an honest geek place on the web sounds like a good idea. Wanna start a web site? 
Gingy, well I know you like getting caught in the rain, but I’m sure you’re not into yoga and you have half a brain.
Mine:
33yo married female, recovering from wanderlust. Very goofy, very self-conscious, totally uncoordinated, used to be fashion-conscious, sometimes funny, sometimes annoying seeks someone worse off than me for friendship and to have someone to laugh with. If you don’t like kids, tough noogies.
Must not want sex, intimacy or money.
SWM, 26, black hair and goatee, green eyes. Right handed bourbon-drinking neo-Hamiltonian liberal who thinks American politics are how the unpopular kids get revenge on those who tormented them in high school. Enjoys cooking for people, discussing literature and theory. Home winemaker, way too into Irvine Welsh and Derrida. Smoker (but only American Spirits). Interests include fencing, tactical and bullseye pistol and having a good craic over decent beer. US Foreign Service Officer scheduled for Sri Lanka in March, presently trying to learn Tamil.
SWF, 22. A drama queen who’ll make you laugh your ass off, who is equally comfortably in eyeliner and heels as lazing around in PJs. Good with children and animals, moderate with adults. A huge music geek, tastes run from Buzzcocks to Johnny Cash, from Abba to Bikini Kill. Owner of two cats, sorry, will not give sympathy to allergics. Heart slightly broken in several places, experimenting with a new “no meaningless sex” rule. Hates doing dishes, loves cooking. Hates having to sit in a resturant or bar waiting for someone (ie: punctuality a plus), bitter fruit, mosquitos and intolerance. Enjoys fireflies, Northern Lights, the innocent sound of a baby laughing and the giddy high of love. Requires a good backrub and an understanding nod at the end of a long day, willing to reciprocate.
SWM, 16, blond hair, blue eyes, about 5’9, around 200 lbs. Interests include but limited to computers, science, history, math (even though I’m not very good at it) I’m looking for a funny, intelligent, sweet, affectionate female (race,religion not important) Cannot be more than 10 years older or 2 years younger.Is not forceful about religion. My pic can be found here me
Can I be the Truth Enforcer for you guys’ website?
“What? A computer geek without facial hair! This is fake!”
SWF, almost 29, seeks single male, 25-45.
Me: reddish-brown hair with a Carrie Bradshaw cut, blue eyes (think Jakob Dylan), not a skinny girl. Into music, non-music lovers need not apply. Silly sense of humor (think Eddie Izzard, Jimmy Fallon), very sympathetic, seem to attract basket-cases. I like to walk around cities I’ve never been to and pretend I know what I’m doing. I love to travel, especially to see bands. Daddy’s girl, but only because I’m his favorite. Independant, financially stable at the moment. Social drinker, smoker who’s trying to quit.
You: I’m not picky about body types, you shouldn’t be either. I like the idea of tall, big guys but I’ve dated every type. You should be funny, whether it be dry humor or laugh-out-loud silly. I like to listen, you like to talk. IT profession a bonus (I’m a geek-in-training). You should like animals, especially cats/dogs/lizards. Race not important, but would like someone with similar religious interests. (Lutheran, but a little more open to believing a little from everything.) Must be family-oriented (even if it’s dysfunctional), but not a momma’s boy. Stoners need not apply.
Do I get first crack at, er am I going to be checking the ads of women before they’re posted?
18-year-old unskinny, blonde haired & blued eyed female with a southern drawl that has the knack to giggle and squeal in delight at almost anything. Has a very childlike state of mind but can be very intelligent with forced to think. Loves learning new things and prefers a guy who can teach her something new every day. Is terrible with spelling and grammar but really doesn’t care and she can’t do math to save her life. Loves English and History and has dreams of traveling around the world one day so applicants must be willing to keep up with her on her travels. Has an insatiable libido and needs a partner with the same sexual hunger and ferocity. Also enjoys cuddling and watching cartoons and can do a mean Bubbles (from the Powerpuff Girls) impression. Boys with long hair definitely need apply.
Male, 24. Moody, reclusive, no ambition, no job, no social skills. Extremely creative, talented, and intelligent but crippled by stifling inferiority complex and intense fear of rejection. Has rationalized this with deeply existential perspective on human life and Zen-like acceptance of fate. Experienced bachelor with excellent cooking, cleaning, and laundry skills. Unsure about wanting kids. Seeks beautiful young female to massage ego and live up to ridiculously high standards.
24 year old female history and biology geek (and geek in general), 5’7", 125-ish pounds. Brown hair, hazel eyes, slightly largish nose. Non-smoker, social drinker, other-drug-free. I love flash floods, lightning, classical music, live theater (dance as well), hockey, football, and bookstores. The best part of sex to me is the contact of skin. Bleeding heart liberal (with a few exceptions), but not terribly politically correct. I do not want children; I do not plan on getting married*. Caustic and dry sense of humor. Ideal mate’s looks not an issue (though I tend towards tallish and thinnish), but must not be easily offended and MUST be able to keep up with my conversation.
*[sub]I plan on buying a duplex. I will live on one side, the man of the hour on the other. I expect the average “hour” to last between 3 and 7 years, but I am flexible on this point. The beauty of the Duplex Plan (patent pending) is that we get to spend time apart, but can always just bang on the wall if we’d like the other’s company. If you do not like the Duplex Plan, please see another ad.[/sub]
Aenea: “The reason I’m asking - I’d like to start a website somewhere, with only honest ads on it. I betchya that there are plenty o’ people out there that are sick of bullshit, bars, and chatrooms…”
Hey, Aenea, I would be more than happy to help you run that thing…just so long as I get first dibs on all the teen guys.
Me: SWF 26 (next month) Unskinny but not obese (think hourglass) naturally wavy brownish red hair just past shoulders, dark brown/almost black eyes, 3 tattoos, reasonably attractive.

Intelligent with a good heart and well rounded sense of humor, not easily offended.
You: SM 25-35, non smoker, non druggie, employed, intelligent, finances in order, no kids, good heart, sense of humor, taller than me (5’4") preferably 6’ or taller, Medium build. You need to live where I am or move here, no LD relationship. Dark hair a plus but not a must. If you do not like the movie Shawshank Redemption and American Beauty, you need not apply.
