I thought I might try break this vicious cycle and try another idea that could be equally as bad. I want to find someone who's a little more like me and indulge each other's worst habits - the clingy nature, potential abandonment issues, the desire to text/e-mail/talk to/be with/hold/have sex/wake up next to/you name it. I'm sane enough to know this is crazy, but caution be damned. Maybe I'll just blame it on the time of year.
Silly, inquisitive, adventurous, and just looking for a single, non-smoking guy. I have no children.
I like to check out new spots, especially lounges, live music, and stand-up. I love basketball (Go Lakers!).
I'd like to date and hopefully click with someone and start a potential LTR.
If you're looking for someone to have a good conversation with, and see if there's a spark, send me a message with a little about yourself (a must) and photo (a must) and let's go from there. :)
Oh man, it's painful to write this. I want to be clever, pull you in, stand out from the otherss, but it seems kinda impossible. Let me start by describing myself. I am working towards making something with my life, I am independent, own a condo, am employed, graduated college, have a license and a car, have a dog and a cat. I have traveled all over the world and hope to see so much more. I can't wait to drive cross county. I sometimes feel trapped with life, but am happy where I am. I get lonely from time to time, but am overall happy and emotionally stable (I know you guys look for that! haha). I've lived-- short term-- in other countries and speak multiple languages. I am laid back, easy going, easy to get along with. I watch too much tv but I like it. I try not to judge people, be kind, be fair, do the right thing. ...Now, with that all said, you should know that I am a BBW, extra curvy, call it what you will. I am 5"5' , light brown, shouler length hair. More important than that? I am comfortable in my own skin, have a great smile, and great eyes! (and yes, those other things you guys like too).
What am I looking for? I want to find a...wait for it.... relationship. And within that, even more. I want to find someone who will be my best friend, who will cuddle with me in the morning, and who will fall asleep holding me. Someone who I can just kick it with on the couch for a night in, or go out and have a great time in town. Someone I can have intense other relationships with ;-) I know, it's asking a lot. Physically, I like a taller man, dark hair, a few extra pounds, ascruffy beard is a big plus :-) Dog lover is an even bigger plus. Please send a picture and be 32 or younger. And I probably won't respond if you don't write in complete sentences-- Not to sound like a snob, it's just a turn off for me.
That being said i really am a nice, caring, fun person to be around as long as NO BS is going on. I like a reliable guy looks don't matter as much as the image you give off. I am NOT looking for my Prince Charming and all that fairy tale Bullshit. Just a cute, sweet person who has some time and energy to devote to someone other then himself. Do you exist?
And Don't tell me your hiding in a bar because that's even worse then meeting someone from craigslist!!!!!!!
PICS for PICS and No men over 32 please. Write something interesting and intelligent and you'll be surprised and maybe even delighted by the kind of person I am??
I am tired of pretending that I do not long for the real stuff: real intimacy and love. Who are we kidding anyway, and for how long we will keep ourselves asleep and busy with surface stuff, denying this deepest desire to be intimate with ourselves and with a significant other?
I have almost no hope finding it on CL, and am shooting for a miracle here. I think finding a man who is genuinely willing to go to the depths of intimacy would be a miracle, wherever it happens.
About me: I’m an attractive outgoing gal with a great personality and high moral values. I am sincere, honest, dedicated and I know how to treat a man the way he deserves to be treated. I am looking for a serious long term relationship.
What I am looking for – someone between the ages of 30 and 40, preferably taller than me, likes to go out and chat but also do fun stuff. If you have the same interests as me that is cool – but if not that is cool too since I love to learn new things. I want someone who I can hang out with and has the potential to turn into something more than friendship.
Even more important is what I am NOT looking for – a one night stand, an e-mail or IM buddy, someone who only wants to talk about sex, or just wants to hang out at home, or doesn’t have the time. If you don’t have the time don’t waste mine.
I'm almost 19 years young. I am an accounting major at NECC. I have a job.I don't have very many friends. I don't know why that is but that's the way that it is. I spend my free time reading or watching TV. I am very simple. All I ask out of of a guy is that he is honest with me.
Basically, I am looking for a great guy to get to know...to start of as friends with, and if the chemistry is there, then of course I would want to date him! I have had a habit of jumping feet first into relationships, and I swear I will not repeat that mistake! I am sure some of you can relate....
As far as the type of guy I am looking for, I am most attracted to someone who is whip-smart (that saying is left over from my Southern upbringing), who has a great sense of humor and who is honest. Also, I like a guy who can joke around and goof off but also knows when its time to be serious! Oh, and please don't be a smoker or drug-user. Those are my only deal-breakers!
Now, I am sure you are wondering about the person behind this post, right? Well, sure you are! Let's see...I am single, I grew up in the South but have lived on the East Coast for about six years. I have a ton of hobbies, but the ones that interest me the most are reading (the Alex Cross series is a big hit with me), listening to live music, going to movies and just having fun! I think that the person you are with is more important than the activity, except in a few rare cases! I also like to go hiking (believe it or not, NY has some amazing trails) and cooking...I make a mean Fettucine Alfredo!
I'm black, a student, very attractive, 5'1, 108 lbs.
I'm completely open as far as race goes, ranges in build from thin to muscular to average please, and please be attractive.
I also do like to converse, so please like to do so too.
I'm not looking for a quick quick let's hit it deal, and I'm chill on the relationship front. I'm really just looking to hang out, chit chat, and have some fun. My general approach to everything is generally just to cool out and let things develop. Not really into pushing things, or pushy people.
I guess I will add that I'm 420 friendly, and I love massages and cuddling. Or snuggling. I can't massage well, especially if your back is muscular (just being honest!), but I haven't met a single person, male or female, who doesn't love to have me walk on his or her back. I like just about anything and everything. Seriously. I loooooooooooooooooooooooooooove going to the movies, and movie marathons at home. I also do a lot of film analysis (academically). I party and find fun things to do around the city with my people and so on and so forth too.
Also, if you would have an issue with an antiracist feminist (in other words, social justice is a concern of mine, beyond racism and sexism... I'm not obnoxious about it, but I make my comments, and some people can't bring themselves to even attempt to understand and very adamantly would prefer not to), do nottttt contact me!
-I always check weather.com to see what the day is supposed to be like.
-I’m obsessive with having to know what time it is (even though I’m not always on time).
-I’m a perfectionist.
-I’m sarcastic and have a quick wit.
-I’m left-handed (and am convinced this makes me special).
-I’ve never been stung by a bee.
-I will forever prefer being busy over bored.
-I don’t need to sleep; I’m basically an insomniac.
-I love roller coasters, ice-skating and dancing.
-I enjoy the beatles, MGMT, jason mraz, red hot chili peppers, and dispatch (at the same time, the last concert I went to was lil wayne and drake…)
What I am looking for:
Above all else, you must be able to make me laugh. Please be well educated, adventurous, hard working and not shy. As for looks, I would prefer someone who is physically fit (definitely don’t have to be gym rat, but I go to the gym quite often so you should be somewhat health conscious) and on the taller side. Other than that, being a semi-normal human being between the ages of 20 and 25 would be a plus.
A brand-new year is almost here, perfect time for new adventures :)
If any of the following have crossed your mind, we might get along really well.
-Lambics are often disappointing and leave me thirsty. I hate to admit it, but Sam Adams' Cranberry Lambic is actually quite good.
-There's no such thing as too much hops.
-I may like one or two songs by MGMT, Animal Collective, etc, but Benjamin Taylor, Amos Lee, Bling Pilot, and Nina Simone really do it for me.
-"Shrink," "Broken Flowers," "Particles of Truth," "Brick," and "Happy Birthday Harris Malden" really rocked my world. That said, there is no such things as Christmas without Rocky and The Godfather, and no summer is complete without a Star Wars marathon.
-I really wanna learn glass blowing. Yeah. Blown glass blows my mind every time and I gotta make it before I die.
Things that make me cringe: racist people (up to and including "I only date ____ chicks because i'm not attracted to anyone else"), homophobia (calling your friend a f*g for wearing a pink tie would be one example), dependent personalities.
-age range of 28-40ish
-interested in marriage and a child in the future
-no kids yet, NEVER been married (no exceptions sorry)
-minimum 5' 8" (She's about 5'5" and enjoys wearing heels lol)
-well-read....and enjoys reading daily/ at least regularly
-a bit of a home-body, meaning enjoys a small circle of friends & keeps busy after work, but happy to stay home
-more rural than city & does not want to raise "city kids" oneday
- has your finances in order
-extremely respectful! I can't stress this enough! My sister is VERY turned off by men who are pushy or even mention anything sexual in public. I describe her as a really GOOD girl. She's going to make a great wife for somebody! This is not a girl you date; she's someone you marry lol :)
- close to your family
-rarely (if ever) drinks and never smokes- she hates smoking of all kind
Bonus points if you like Shalom TV :) Sis is an amazing cook, long brown hair, always well-manicured nails and could keep Einstein on his toes-seriously this girl knows everything & loves to debate world politics. I want to see her end up with someone classy & willing to put in the extra effort to crack her "dating shell." I might not be describing her as much fun, but she obviously also likes movies, celebrity gossip, and going shopping too.
Oh! Why you should want to date me! Nothing particularly relevant and Craigslisty is really coming to me. So I'll just go with the most immediate things that came to my mind right now: I cut open all toiletry bottles - and pretty much any other plastic bottle - to scrape out the rest of the lotion/toothpaste/shampoo/salad dressing and make sure I use every last little bit. It's not an environmental thing or a cheapskate thing, I just really don't like the idea of some big company getting me to give them more of my money sooner than I need to because they designed some tricky packaging so I can only get 87% of their product to come out.
I'm just going to start letting lose with whatever pops into my head. Hmm... I never do laundry. Like, ever. I am a neat freak (not a germ freak, just an "everything in its place" freak), but for some reason this has not extended to my clothes. I don't do anything gross like wear the same thing a billion times (yes I actually have at least 2 months' worth of underpants), but I basically wear every single thing in my closet, and when I am absolutely out of all clothing - including fancy stuff and non-seasonal items - then I roll all my crap to the laundromat. And it takes me all day, rolling my laundry cart back and forth five blocks each way. Sometimes two days. Once, it was a series of days. And I always think to myself, "this is why I never do laundry - it takes forever." NEVER do I think, "Hey, if I did my laundry more frequently, it wouldn't take forever." Right now my room is Martha Stewart-level clean, without a spot of dust or a single picture frame out of place. Everything is nicely decorated and color-coordinated. Except that there is an enormous pile of laundry overflowing from the hamper and actually impeding the door from opening all the way. That's probably the most disgusting thing about me, so I'm glad I put it out there from the get-go.
I'm an information junkie and a voracious reader! In the last five years I've spent over a grand shipping my books from place to place. I collect Venetian Carnival masks. Especially men’s, with the huge frightening beak noses reminiscent of plague doctor masks. When I was in my early teens I used to make my own, which involved an exhaustive process of cajoling my mom and dad into sitting still for a few hours while I slathered Vaseline all over their faces, then carefully placed wet plaster bandages on their skin. I'm not sure how I never got either of my parents permanently stuck in a face cast. Luckily I had to improvise on the beak - they both have frustratingly proportional noses. My favorite flower is the foxglove. I collect vintage Hanes hosiery boxes. I always thought the distinction between a mitten and a glove was whether it was made of a knit material. I didn’t realize my error until like, last year. I dislike people who pronounce it “vhaz.” My current food goal is to widen my egg experience. So far I’ve done quail, duck, emu, goose, turkey, Guinea, and eggs pickled with rosemary and thyme. If you can expand my egg universe further, we should talk.
Craigslist Required Technical Specs: Size 9 feet. Sock size on par with foot size. I refuse to wear thong underwear. And uncomfortable shoes. That's all I need to report here right? Oh wait: blonde hair, blue eyes, college-educated SWF, no kids. Told I'm pretty, but really, your friends and family are always going to say that, and a stranger is unlikely to chat you up just to inform you that you have a face like a can of tuna fish molded into the shape of a head. So I figure we're all told we're pretty (or handsome, as the case may be); I'll let you judge for yourself. Speaking of which, I have pictures. You should too! In fact if you send me yours, I will send you mine. Even if I think you do have a face like an angry can of tuna fish and we have no shot, I will still send a photo, because I'm big on fairness. You should be smart, funny, and fundamentally good. Most everything else is negotiable.
Together we're the couple that people want to be. We laugh, enjoy each others company, plan weekends away, drink coffee on a Saturday afternoon, email for no good reason other than to say, "hello," do little things for each other, have an undeniable attraction, and when we look in a mirror - we make a good-looking couple.
If you’re married, over 40 or under 25, under 5’ 10”, live more than 30 minutes away, or don’t take care of your body – don’t waste your time writing to me. It’s not my intent to be mean – just realistic. I'm am not looking just to hook up or for a one night stand either.
I am seeking someone:
- single and available (I would like to be able to make this a frequent thing at least a few nights a week maybe occasionally during the day)
- highly intelligent (in addition to being extremely horny, I am very cerebral)
- self confident and dominant in nature (I would expect you to lead the conversation)
- open-minded (the kinkier the better)
I would like to call someone right now. If you are interested please send me your photograph, your age, why you think you would the best for me, and your phone number.
Sigh.... oh well... I guess I hope you can deal with a fun, feisty, and fluffy chick that enjoys curling under the blankets with 5 books, my dog, and watching movies on my Laptop...who is also a sucker for bar games (trivia, rockband, it goes on..).. and now officially obsessed with making Chicken Mole (national dish of Mexico). Into things like Karaoke... and after a nice pint of a Leviathan Double IPA... I can sing the shit out of Janis Joplin.
Here are the facts:
- I'm a perfectly adorably cute 5'2 (yup i'm short), brown eyes/brown haired girl.
- Yes.. i'm Hispanic.. which means I was built nice and sturdy to withstand harsh New England Winters, be as cuddly as your favorite sweater... call it fluffy/chubby/curvy..whatever .. i'm not a waif (think more Jordin Sparks ...NOT rosie O'donnell)
-Here is the shocker... I hope you're prepared...ready? ?! I'm not damaged goods! While its pretty tough for me to admit I'm a bit lonely, it has to do much more with my busy school/work schedule than some psychotic deep flaw in my character.... which also means, i'm not getting over anybody (been single...by choice), never married, no children (unless you count my pet), and a fuck buddy or bed hopping IS NOT MY THING!!!
What i'm looking for is pretty straight-forward and simple. Unlike alot of chicks, i'm not chasing after some goal of "boyfriend" "Relationship" "marriage"... rather.. I care more about opening the door to meet a cool, laid back, awesome guy and seeing where is should go naturally... no pressure.
I'm a pretty creative person, a little introverted but friendly, told that I'm pretty (prettier than my pics), in good shape (like to workout), loyal and trustworthy, trusting of others, compassionate, driven to help others, into health and nutrition, intelligent and well-educated. I like the outdoors; hiking, sailing, skiing, kayaking, camping and would love to learn rock-climbing. In some ways I'm a very simple woman. I don't need much in terms of material possessions. In other ways, I have a complexity that, to the right person, would be very intriguing. I'm an artist and a dreamer.
I know you're curious about what I look like and for the right person, I will respond with pictures. I'm 5'2", fit, dark blonde/blue with a great smile.
I am five six and weigh 170 I am thick and curvy. Light brown long hair with blonde highlights. Beautiful as well! I am of mixed heritage.
Candidates should posses the following
qualities:
The cool, calm, and collected mannerism Sidney Poitier portrays in Guess Who's Coming to Dinner?
The dignity and class Denzel Washington brings to all roles he plays.
The quiet brooding intensity of Terrence Howard in Crash.
The old School humor of Sinbad.
The leadership that Obama brings to our country. .
Not so much looking for a famous guy, athlete or actor
but just someone who knows how to act.
What I am attracted to is a big husky black man, not fat, but built like a football player and who is strong
I am looking for a gentleman, someone who is old school and knows how to properly treat a woman. I am looking to be in a relationship, eventually but would like to start off just talking and see where it leads.
So sick of wanna be gentlemen stepping to me, with some b.s. I am too grown and fed up with men who blew hot and cold, and kiss me one day and diss me the next in search of greener pastures. The buck stops here, I am not cocky but rather confident that I am the ultimate true prize at the end of one's search. So if you are HONEST, SINCERE, and GENUINE please respond. IF you are a sociopath, or have some untrue, clandestine life, keep yourself.
If you send me a pic, and seem like a hard working educated man, who is looking to be in an adult relationship, please do contact me. I will not tolerate any disrespect or bullshit. Also a word to the wise...you must be a man of your word, and reliable. And obviously these are my thoughts I am a woman who is not promiscuous and am used to being courted in an appropriate manner...translation...I am not going to just be with anyone, one must get to know me and I to know them...
Please be well over 6 feet and professional. I want to also put out there that I am looking to start off with dating and see where it leads us, but if you are old fashioned and believe in the court ship process...then we very well could be a match. I need a man's man, someone who know how to hold it down and take care of that ONE woman.
Send me a pic, although looks don't matter, attraction DOES. Ages include (28-35 that is it!)
