************************************(ALL (WE) CAN TAKE WITH US WHEN WE (DIE) IS OUR ""WORKS"")**********************************IF YOU BELIEVE READING 5 LINES IS ENOUGH TO DISCERN OR HAVE ENOUGH INFORMATION TO DECIDE TO RESPOND TO A PERSONALS AD; PLEEEEZE...(STOP HERE) AND MOVE TO THE NEXT AD.


*********IT REALLY AMAZES ME READING ADS FROM BOTH GENDERS HOW SHALLOW AND NARROW THE FOCUS ON SUCH TRIVIAL ISSUES***********
***I understand that i don't leave much to desire as to my circumstances but believe me I DO HAVE POTENTIAL IN MANY AREAS THAT WOULD BE BENEFICIAL IN YOUR LIFE***
*I still receive judgmental responses, Lot's of people out there have a better than you attitude all i can say is there loss for not be open to understanding, compromise, and LOVE AGAIN.*
*******************************"JUDGE" (NOT) LESS YEE BE "JUDGED"***************************DO YOU KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DISCERNING AND JUDGING?? PLEASE DON'T JUDGE ME BEFORE GIVING (ME) THE OPPORTUNITY TO REVEAL WHAT I AM ALL ABOUT AND WHAT I CAN BE FOR A SPECIAL WOMAN.

*****************I have had offers, but just because they would consider me doesn't mean i will just come to you...YES; It is true. *****************

**JUST A BRIEF VISION FOR YOU, I HAD BEEN TAKING CARE OF MY (ONE) AND ONLY PARENT SINCE 1989, AND HE PASSED AWAY**IT HAS AFFECTED ME PROFOUNDLY**though i believe he's in a better place, This woman i seek has to be compassionate and willing to be there always (I PROMISE I WOULD BE THERE ALSO) REMEMBER THIS STATEMENT.
I understand (we) have others in our live's ..maybe I am searching for something I may not ever find, LONG TERM RELATIONSHIP, LIVI'N TOGETHER, MARRIAGE..BUSINESS TOGETHER...CAN YOU FILL IN THE BLANK?___________________________. (to build or add another child to family) NOT A DEAL BREAKER, ONLY GOD KNOWS IF IT WILL HAPPEN
ARE YOU WILLING TO LISTEN?
****MY DAUGHTERS MOTHER DIDN'T GIVE ME THE OPTION TO BE A PART OF MY DAUGHTERS LIFE (YES; NO OPTION)..Looong story and i won't get into that here****
I WANT TO FIND SOMEONE THAT I CAN TRAVEL, LOVE, HELP IN BUSINESS, DO THINGS WITH...COMPANIONSHIP AT HOME ANYTHING THAT INVOLVES.......... "LIVING".



YOU CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHAT I HAVE ENDURED UNLESS YOU ARE WILLING TO READ...

I am seeking a Looooooong term relationship...Yes, That's right: WHAT MANY WOMEN THINK MEN DON'T TAKE SERIOUSLY.



But I come not in the best circumstances...Just being honest here, Think there's many out here that you can say that about? You don't have to belive this next statement but it is true.......... I have had quite a few respondent's that could or would like to bring me into there life but many times let there fears and insecurrities OVERCOME WHAT COULD BE LONG TERM ""HAPPINESS"".

**** IF (WE) LET OUR PAST DICTATE (OUR) FUTURE (WE) CAN CONTINUE SCRATCHING OUR HEADS AT ALL THE SHALLOWNESS OUT IN THIS WORLD****

BUT WHAT DO YOU LOOOSE, 15 MINUTES OF YOUR TIME?



Let me reveal some of the good qualities first:



(NO) CRIMINAL RECORD, (NO) DUI'S..........FAITHFULL,ROMANTIC,THOUGHTFULL,COMPASIONATE,HONEST TO A FAULT..AND YES; SOMETIMES IT CAN BE PAINFULL....YES; MY OPENESS LEAVES A LOT OF ROOM FOR JUDGMENT....Soooooo, whos perfect out there????



(NO) ALCOHOL DEPENDENCY (EVER) IF YOU HAVE AN ALCOHOL DEPENDENCY LEAVE ME ALONE!....(DEPENDENCY) THE (KEY) WORD HERE.....(everything in moderation).



INTELLIGENT?..Well, I was self employed for many years...was and hope to be again.



Just a few of my good qualities.



My current circumstances don't lend to anyone wanting to consider me..But I have to state these to be open so you can decide if (you) can balance (me) into your life..and or your family, IF THAT APPLIES.

If your in a better place than me today and think that by revealing this to me will shine a good light on you (you could be sorely mistaken) I want to "LOVE" & be "LOVED" Thats what i feel is most important!!

I am on welfare for the first time in my life....

I am working the stock market at a very small scale but I have learned much, Many lost money last year, but quite a few made a lot of money on this rebound (I could have benefited had i had capital to work with) Yeap! water under the bridge, I know!

I was placed on medical disability for 1 yr, But by no means I am incapacitated...Too much to discuss here and I won't since it's a public forum ( I can and will contribute) SMALL INCOME.

I am seeking a compasionate woman, that doesn't judge outright, with out having all the facts...Wishfull thinking??


If you read my profile you will understand what I mean...about judgments ( what i don't understand ) How do they get to my profile since there are so many dealbreakers here?

I have my resume that can give you an understanding about what I can bring to the table, I have good marketing skills.

I will send you (my profile) that I have written for just one purpose...MY RESUME IF YOU SO DESIRE LATER, I want you to have a good amount of information..So you can consider the posibilities of me being a part of your life.

TO FIND A SPECIAL WOMAN THAT WILL UNDERSTAND WHAT I HAVE ENDURED RECENTLY AND WHY I AM AT THIS POINT IN MY LIFE...



A WOMAN THAT WILL WORK WITH ME AS I ENHANCE (HER) LIFE...I AM NOT SEEKING PITY OR A FREE RIDE, CLEANLINESS, OPTIMISM, LOYAL, COMPASSIONATE ALL GOOD ABOUT YOU & CERTAINLY ABOUT ME.

ONLY REAL WAY YOU CAN CONSIDER THIS IS IF YOU ASK ME TO SEND IT TO YOU...AND JUST TO EASE YOUR COMMITMENT CONCERNS.

YOUR UNDER (NO) OBLIGATION TO RESPOND BACK AFTER YOU RECEIVE IT...( my profile).

I was born in Florida... I'm in Wisconsin now ( WILLING to relocate with the """""RIGHT"""" woman) I believe the distance will allow for a slower pace with out the pressures, I am easy to talk to and am all that i portray... hopefully you love boating and if you have children boating can be good family fun too (why Grand Rapids? I just revealed to you that I love boating! Not to far from the lake, right? I bet you would like to read about my vision on a houseboat on the lake.....


Again I am seeking a loooooong term relationship, But I understand that I may not be what you seek, I believe in marriage but understand that (our) circumstances may prevent that from being considered.



But I believe (we) can make our (own) vows..and it can be special..This is down the road of course.

I WOULD LIKE TO BE WITH SOMEONE IN A HAPPY, LOVING ENVIROMENT**(HOPEFULLY LIVING TOGETHER)** BEFORE SUMMER...( I HOPE YOU SHARE THIS GOAL) IF YOU ARE WILLING TO READ MORE THEN YOU CAN DECIDE IF I MAKE UP FOR ALL THIS COMPLICATIONS AND CAN ENHANCE YOUR LIFE AND LIVE HAPPILY EVER AFTER.....I know naive.

ALL I ASK IF YOUR DOWN TO THIS LINE IS PLEASE....GO BACK AND READ ALL OF THIS FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING AS WELL AS FOR THE SAKE OF FIRST IMPRESSIONS IF YOU DO DECIDE TO LEARN MORE ABOUT ME (every word,large or small in parenthesis has meaning behind it (think there's many you can believe in?).

THANKS FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION.

ROBERT.

Ps Yes; That's me in on the left, about 6 month's ago..Though my hair is longer as on the right, I am (47 yo) by the way..Guess that could be important for you to know.


Yes; I know the dog is cute'..er than me, But she won't be comming with me...Loong story.
( I REALLY HAVEN'T HAD MUCH TO SMILE ABOUT LATELY).

Yes; I am an animal lover..all.



If this ad were shorter, I'd have things to say about it. As is, it's just TOO MUCH. I can however, promise that the pictures that accompanied it were a complete delight.

Want to have a messy, crying, drooling mini-human together? - 30 (Chicago)

Your eggs aren't getting any fresher!!

Seeking a highly intelligent, liberal-minded sort of woman who is ready to be a responsible parent with me. Bonus points for earth friendly types.

You're ready to geek out over the healthiest stuff to feed the little thing and how to turn him/her into a baby brainiac surrounded by books. You're at a place in your life where you're down with trips to the tot lot, storytimes, and family trips to the zoo.

Obviously you're fairly healthy/active, employed, nonsmoker, hopefully cute and sweet/nurturing/bubbly.

I'm a smart, healthy, clean cut, nice guy type SWM ready to move into dad mode with the right match.

I will reply to all who write a serious, thoughtful reply about possibly starting a family.




Points for knowing the difference between 'you're' and 'your.' Negative points for the whiff of desperation in this ad.

In need for a Side Girlfriend soon. - 36 (Cedar Park)

Title pretty much tells you what I'm looking for. I would treat you so good in so many ways, you'll love me forever. I'm not a player by all means but I'm tired on the same old stuff at home, so I thought I would give this a try. Is there any woman who's in the same shoes I'm in???/ Please reply back if so so we can chat and see what happens. I'm a good looking 36 y/o white male and I have pics, please have pics so we can exchange. Hope to hear from you soon....

Way to plan ahead, wishes-he-were-cheating white male.

A Clean Limerick - 57

There once was a man with a thought
To find a good woman he has sought
On a site he put up a posting
That was to include little boasting
To see what responses it brought.

Attractive, SM with good values and many interests

Oh no! More noetry! Many interests? Perhaps the poster should have included them in his post. Instead, he wrote the world's blandest limerick. Whoops!

Gorgeous REAL Artist searching for IMAGINARY 'Model type Female' (Art Studio)

REMEMBER, You are IMAGINARY, not real. So, I'm going ALL OUT on this post for my 'Model type Female' who happens to love painters. Yes, I am a painter/artist...I haven't 'milked' that one for all it's worth...yet. I digress...

My IMAGINARY 'Model Type Female':You are between 5ft. 3 and 5ft. 10. Slender, Petite, Average, with a sense of flare. You have healthy beautiful long or short stylish/chic/hip hair. You have beautiful/penetrating eyes. Pouty French lips. High cheek bones (of course). Dress HIP and CLASSY (a cross between Audrey Hepburn, Sade, Hip skater chick, Heroin chic model, and this chick I never 'met' from CL). You know who you are? You can look great in classy 1960's dress, hot in a hoodie, beautiful with or without makeup. Keep this in mind however, you're not real. Just trying to get you back into reality.

You must like Art Art Art and Art. And not the following type of art (you know), like someone who paints Unicorns or Sunsets. And, when you say you're into the Velvet Underground or Generation X, you actually listen to these bands at home or in your car. Oh yes, you can love Death Cab, and all of those new glorious bands with lyrics that inspire (I like the new lyricists).

I LOVE YOU IMAGINARY FEMALE:)

Sincerely,

Moi

Hot nice guy is a monster in the sack - 31 (Manhattan)

Okay, so, I'm not actually a guy, but I'm playing matchmaker and posting this ad for my friend. He's SWM, 5'9", 200 lbs, a total sweetie-head and an absolutely fantastic lover. (It was a friends-with-benefits kinda thing awhile back.) But he has no skill when actually talking to girls and it breaks my heart--he could make some lucky girl really happy. Email me if you'd like to chat, come out and grab a beer and 'accidentally' meet up with him!

I would put money down that this "poster" does not exist, just a 5'9" SWM, 200 lbs.

Looking For My Black Queen To Complete Me - 37 (Pensacola/Mobile)

Well my perfect match would have to be someone whom I felt a connection with mentally emotionally and physically. She would be a lady in the streets and a freak in the sheets so to speak someone who would not be afraid to tell me her true feelings no matter how the outcome may seem honesty is always the best route. My perfect match would not mind doors opened for her getting flowers and little gifts she would not take it as a sign of me trying to buy her but yet merely me trying to spoil her and treat her like a queen. It would not be the amount of money i spent but the quality of time she would know that a true diva commands attention and never asks for it. My match would be someone I could express myself fully and not feel i ever needed to switch things up because of the way things sounded or may ultimately come out. She would understand that a relationship is built on 99% communication and the rest will fall in place she would understand that I am human and make mistakes she would help me learn from them and pick me up when ever I fell down. My soul mate would understand that god comes first her second and me last she would know that the foundation of our happiness would be built on a structure of love and trust a mere branch from the tree of eternal fulfillment. My Queen would know just from the look in my eyes how much I loved and appreciated her without one touch one word one sound. My Queen would have a mutual respect and trust that i would return. I know I am wishing on a star craigslist is a different method than I am used to it certainly is new to me I am new to this whole internet dating seen I have tried other mediums and well this seemed more professional and ethical than those sites. I really have no limitations for my Queen or qualifications the things I stated earlier are just ideas and traits I would certainly like those attributes but they are not required I just want someone who wants to be loved as much as I want to love them.
