UPDATES ON "THE SEARCH"...
When things are slow and prospects are slim, I try to make some
ripples in the cosmic flow... Over the weekend I wrote some letters...
Wanna know how I'm making out?
---
Had a nice lady write me a letter in response to my profile on
aol... in the profile it expresses the H/W preference... it even
has my together page address...
I wrote her back with a link to my page in the email... I usually
put my phone number in responses to let them know I'm real...
Without going to the web page, she called me this evening... I
gently referred her to the web page saying, "You do want to know all
about me, don't you?"
I wrote the page to allow a lady to avoid having to make a personal
rejection and to make her aware of my personal attitudes to save her
from hard feelings if she's not in decent condition...
From the deep timbre of this lady's voice, I believe she ignored
parts of my profile...
Tomorrow should tell if I: (a) Never hear from her again, (b) I
have a new cyber-friend, or (c) Get pleasantly surprised.
Wanna take a guess?

Another lady...
Mark, sorry it took me so long to answer you , yes i did finally make it to
your web page. I printed it so i wouldn't be on so long. How much education
have you had? Or is it all self taught???????? No matter. It was
beautiful. ******
I figure this for a rejection... She didn't respond with a picture or
contact information... But, you know me... I can't resist playing with
them, so I replied...
Flattery will get you everywhere! Keep talking! :o)
Would you believe that it was not my intention to write a
beautiful web page... Merely to find a lady who has similar
feelings and attitudes?

Sometimes I see a profile and I just can't resist playing...

You might think my Prince to Frog
ratio isn't very good... right off
I'll tell you I am not in the
income brackets you want...
I'm writing to ask you to
consider how difficult it's gonna
be to find your soulmate... this
implies that there is only ONE
other person on the planet that
might qualify...
How about one of your possible
soulmates from a field of those
who have a sufficiently well
developed sense of ethics combined
with some of the other nice
qualities you might want... sanity
might be nice... loving behaviors
flowing as a natural part of their
personality might add considerable
pleasantness...
Make soulmstes plural and you've
got a better shot...
If you have read thus far, thank
you for letting me play with you :)
Wanting someone who speaks his
mind is even harder...
First, it's very difficult to
find another who is so accepting
that you don't feel the need for
some self-censorship in order to
avoid their disapproval.
Second, I have found that, even
when I tell the complete truth,
very few ladies are willing to
believe me... has something to do
with them being lied to so much
that they can't tell when they've
actually met a man who IS telling
them the truth.
When I found myself single again
through no fault of my own, I
wrote a web page which I invited
ladies from dating sights to read.
I directed ladies to view my page
at http://eiw.com/together/
Typical responses were "You're
too good to be true!"
Admittedly, there aren't a lot
of sane decent men out there from
the stories I've heard from ladies.
Just to keep it balanced... I
go to a local mall and sometimes
do a bit of respectful flirting
(hey I'm single) and sometimes I
deliver this "line" that I thought
of... Sure you're georgous, but
are you pure of heart?
What's disturbing is that more
than seven out of ten ladies ask
me what pure of heart is.
In this world filled with folks
who have contrived more deceptions,
held on to past hurts rather than
forgiving them, fail to practice
good stewardship of their persons
and their lives, and those who are
just plain nuts...
I wish you every success in
finding the happiness I believe
that you deserve with one of your
possible soulmates. :)

Who realizes that a woman should be treated as a woman at all times:
with love and respect
About herself: Last night I dreamed about you, my love! You were
holding my hands, looking into my eyes, kissing my face, and I was
feeling the warmth of your body, bitting of yout heart and tenderness of
your soul! When I awoke in the morning I was so happy, because I
realised that at that moment you came into my life... I know that putting
personals and answering them is not the best way to meet the right
person, but how else can I meet you again?... I have so many things to
tell you, so many feelings and emotions to share with you... where are
you?... Your name is still unknown to me, and I haven't felt the smell of
your skin or taste of your kiss yet, but I am missing you... One more
day has passed, one more day without you. LIFE IS PASSING WITHOUT LOVE!
What is good about it?...
What she's looking for: If you think that "children of the same age play
better together", please answer me at: ********@******.net
Anything else: I know that you are reading these lines now, that your
heart is openning to my heart, and I want to be honest with you! I am
sure you will understand and appreciate my honesty!... I am not a very
young girl anymore, I realise it too well (although the mirror says I am a
little bit over 30!). But my pass reminds me that I am over 40 (here you
can stop reading and go to another ad, but then you will never know what
your future might hold for you!). There are a lot of other women whose
ONLY advantage over myself is their younger age! I feel like a girl of 20, I
am well-built, very slender, have an attractive appearance, lovely legs,
nice hair and (they say!) real feminine charm!...

Whattaprofile... whattaprofile... it inspired this letter...
All of my life I have felt cheated because I have not been lucky
enough to find a woman who truly loved me.
I have never lied to nor have I ever hurt any lady.
I am single now through no fault of my own.
I have said that each day of my life during which I am not
helping a lady to feel truly loved (and she not helping me to feel
loved) is a wasted day that can never be reclaimed.
You said life is passing without love. It is the same thing.
I want you to read my web page which will tell you a lot of
information about me. It will tell you what I believe love is, and
how I believe a man and woman should treat each other. And, it will
tell you who I am... the good and the bad things.
You worry about your age... I would not have you one year younger...
Whatever you have experienced has brought you to where you are now. There
is nothing a younger woman could offer me than you, if you are a truly
loving woman.
Please read my web page very carefully... I took the time to write
it because I want good communication with you... I want a truly close and
intimate loving relationship.
I tell you truly that the good things and my capability to love
you with the passion of the young and the sensitivity and the ability
of the mature are much greater than anything you might worry about.
If I had a woman like you who loved me, she would indeed be the most
beautiful girl in the world!

CRAZY LADIES...
Ladies are not all crazy and they're not all dumb either... My personal
impression is that many impressions men have come from ladies who choose
not to use their intelligence to think clearly... This might be laziness...
It might be a desire to live in fantasyland... Whatever it is, it seems
to know no international borders, at least according to Lee Chow...
Lee sat down near me at a table where I was having coffee in front of
a coffee shop at the mall... Being the friendly guy I am I said, "Nee How?"
(How are you? in Chinese)... We spoke for a while...
I asked Lee if Chinese women are as crazy as I think some American
women are and Lee replied, "Women!... All over the world!... Crazy!"
So... Don't take MY word for it! :)
-------------------------------------------------------------
COULD MARK LIKE A CHUBBY LADY?
There's a lady who works at the mall... She's chubby... But a small
lady with a figure like Astarte (a love Goddess of ancient times)...
Boy, would I!!! (If she wasn't so tied up with how she'd been hurt by
her ex.)
-------------------------------------------------------------
SPANISH ASSERTIVENESS...
I said, "Hola Corozon Dulce!" (Hello Sweetheart) to a Latino lady...
"Mi nombre es (her name)!" (My name is *****!) with an emphatic and
disapproving tone... I'm only telling you this because I want you to
know that I can get told off in more than one language! :)
