- Subject: Ferret iso SF for hopping good times...
-
- First, the important stuff.
-
- Good. It's nice to see a poster who doesn't beat about the bush.
-
- I am a SWM college grad
- with plans to move to the Colo. Springs area of
- Colorado. I enjoy horseback riding, hiking, camping,
- and other outdoor activities. My interests are wide
- and varied, but include Fantasy/SF books, Star Trek,
- D&D, Shotokan Karate, Classical Music, SCA (although
- I am not an official member...yet :) ), ferrets, and
- much more. I am willing to try just about anything
- once before deciding whether I like it.
-
- OK, I get the picture. So what's the "important stuff"?
-
- I am a Pagan by choice, but I maintain an open mind
- about other people's chosen religions. I have a
- very punny sense of humor. <Grin> I believe very firmly
- in honesty. I also believe in emotional maturity; head
- games just piss me off. However, don't think of me as a
- stuffed shirt. I am very fun-loving.
-
- Fine. Now what's your point?
-
- Now the more superficial stuff. I am 5 foot 6, 120 lbs,
- brown hair and eyes, 23 years old. I am an occasional
- drinker and non-smoker, although I don't mind others
- smoking around me if they aren't blowing smoke in my face.
- I am fairly attractive (at least, that's what I've been
- told. I try to avoid judging my own appearance.) I try
- to stay reasonably healthy. I am very turned off by
- SM and domination games but am rather experimental
- other than that.
-
- Do we really need to know all this? What do you want to say?
-
- As far as what I am looking for, I would like to meet
- a S*F within driving distance of CoSpgs for a close
- friendship and, hopefully, LTR. I am hoping to meet
- someone with a sense of adventure and romance.
-
- Well, aren't we all. Now hurry up and get to the point please!
-
- Looks aren't all that important, although height and weight should
- be proportional (i.e. healthy). Must have interests we can
- share. Openmindedness in all areas is a very definite plus.
-
- Terrific. Now maybe we can get down to the nitty-gritty at last.
-
- If I have held your interest this long,
-
- Not really...
-
- drop me a line and we'll see what happens. :)
-
- Is that it? Have you nothing more to say than that? "Drop me a line
- and we'll see what happens." You can't really argue with that, can
- you? What do you want me to say -- "oh no we won't!"? Or will you
- suddenly post a profound discourse on the nature of singleness if I
- drop you a line? I can't in all honesty say you've added a great deal
- to the debate, but thank you for your contribution. Good night.
