Cloudy day outside today, one of those days one just wants to stay in bed and enjoy another. If you alone and bored reach out, perhaps we have more in common than shows on the surface.

Just a question why is it so many guys start with crude comments on IM? I guess in my mind when your start a conversation it is a bit better to be a bit respectful to the the person your talking to than a get to the point right now sort of comment, or just a crude comment. Really, I wonder ladies, does that work?, if so I guess I am doing it wrong....

Women, a few minutes of your time please.
Of course, when I say "a few minutes", I am not talking as in "I'll be ready in a few minutes", but the actual quantifiable unit of time. I am a man, well a 27 year old single man to be specific. On occasion, I happen to read the personals here on Craigslist, and I think that some of you "women seeking men" don't subscribe to general reality. Let's look at a few examples...
Height - This appears to be a common trait that women here seek out, though actual preferred height seems to vary. However, when you say something like this, "i like tall guys, they have to be 6 feet tall, i can't respect a guy who's shorter than me" it's a bit boggling. Congratulations lady, you just knocked out about 85% of the male populous from your preferred demographic, and that is just on a single stated preference!. If you are attracted to taller men, that is fine but just understand that the more exclusive you are, the less there is to choose from. According to NHCS statistics, about 50% of men are between 5'7 and 5'11. 25% of men are 5'11 or taller, 15% are 6'0 or taller, and 5% are 6'2 or taller. You see the trend? Like most men out there, I reside in that 5'7-5'11 range, since I happen to be 5'10.
Da Smarts - Let's be frank here, what do you actually want? Are you talking intelligence, educational status, or money. The three are not mutually exclusive or inclusive. There are many well educated people who are broke as fuck, such as teachers. They have the status of being a professional, but can't pay the rent. Then there are many people who never went to college, but are raking in the dough. Successful entrepreneurship does not require education, just hard work and a bit of luck. Intelligence of course cuts across all these examples as a third factor, and can break either way. You will often find stupidity among the successful and educated, just as you will find intelligence among the failures and uneducated. Please specify! It's not hard really to find men, such as myself, who currently possess decent portions of these characteristics. However, those men who possess a large degree all three are usually no longer single. If they are, you should probably ask yourself why.
Looks Department - "Yah I want a hot, sexy, athletic, built, blah blah blah blah ..." Okay, great. We know this. There are quite a few good looking guys out there, so you're in luck! However, if you are holding out for the perfect male specimen, you are going to be disappointed. Not only will he probably not be interested in you when you do happen to find him, but he also probably won't fit into the rest of your desired categories. Basically, what I am saying is that if you find someone attractive, but not perfect, give him a shot anyway if he seems to fit the rest of your profile. If you're really looking for a LTR and not NSA, then you owe it to yourself. Be realistic.
I want, I want, I want... - Yah that's nice, you want all of those things but what do you bring to the freaking table? From the male perspective, I think the most annoying personal is the one that stipulates a number of conditions/demands, without revealing anything about themselves. Basically, in doing so you have just declared that you have a selfish personality and are only interested in your needs. Thanks, but no thanks.
Negativity - So you have had some bad relationships, but why do you have to take it out on the rest of us? "Looking for a Man not a Boy", "All guys want nowadays...", insert random gender overgeneralization and/or male bashing comment. Hell yah, that's the best way to attract some good guys! More bitterness please! Come on now, do you really want to advertise your emotional baggage? Also, you have got to love the "I know there is no chance of me ever finding someone here, but..." posts. Have you ever heard of a self fulfilling prophecy?
Inflexibility - Let me introduce you to a basic principle of probability. Let's say you are in the San Jose area, and are looking for a single (31 white (48 man, 25-34 (about 18 who is 6'0 or taller (15, doesn't smoke cigarettes (82, and possess a Bachelor's degree or higher (32. Assuming we are dealing with independent events here (which of course they are not, but this is just a rough example), all of those factors are multiplied together, and therefore we are only talking about 1/1000 men in the San Jose area. We haven't even delved into the intangibles yet such as looks, personality, wit, etc. Now granted, you are probably going to get a higher caliber of clientele from Craigslist, nonetheless the point here should be clearly illustrated. The more restrictions you adhere to, the less of a selection you will have.
Women's FAQ
Where are all the good guys? Why are men all pigs? Why can't I find someone? Where's my soulmate? Where is he?!!
Chill... Let me introduce you to something I like to call the Archonian paradox. When it comes to the casual dating scene, Women clearly have an advantage, as men are far more interested in casual dating than women are. However, when it comes to the search for LTRs, men hold all the cards. Women on the whole are far more interested in meaningful relationships, especially as both groups age. See the problem lies in the fact that while all you single women were dating the "bad boys" back in your late teens and early 20s, all the good men were being snatched up. So now as you approach your late 20s and early 30s, guess what? The creep/gentlemen ratio among men has increased sharply, and you find yourselves having to weed through those same bad boys you were dating earlier just to find that diamond in the rough. Yah, from the perspective of a good man truly looking for a LTR, the pick of the litter is not too shabby anymore.
Do you believe there is that one person out there for everyone, that perfect match?
Uhh, no. If that was the case, with over 6 billion people in the world, what if he/she lives in somewhere like Latvia? You're going to be shit out of luck. I believe that each of us has a connection threshold and that there are many people out there who are qualified to fill it. The objective of life is to find a person among them, and commit to them, so that you can both live out your lives happily together. I realize that this is still a somewhat idealistic view, but I am a positive person, and you should be too.
Hey, you said you're still single, so what the hell is your problem?
A fair question. Actually I was in a long term relationship for quite some time, and only recently I realized it just wasn't in the cards. The breakup was amiable, but now I find myself back on the market. Some lucky woman out there is going to score herself a good man. It's not arrogance, but self confidence. When I find said women, I will undoubtedly be fortunate to be with her as well.
Why can't I meet a single doctor, lawyer, Ivy League MBA, ie. single rich professional?
To be honest, because these guys are all married before they finish medical/law/graduate school. Sorry, if you didn't snatch them up before they became rich, you have already been beaten to the punch.
Do you subscribe to ladder theory?
Only marginally. There are some tenets I agree with, and some I don't.
OMG, I completely disagree with x, y, and z. Why are you so full of shit?
I believe you have made an incorrect analysis of the available facts at hand. I suggest you reexamine your decision making process, and check for errors which have undoubtedly occurred.
Are you some sort of psychologist, sociologist, or therapist?
No, but I did stay in a Holiday Inn express last night. I also just saved a ton of money on my car insurance by switching to Geico.

Wow, all these women responding to my ad!
Wow, I placed my first personals ad on CL yesterday and MAN the response is fabulous! And heck, I figured I would NEVER get any replies, being middle-aged and looking basically for NSA sex. But I'm fussy, and most of the respondents...well, they don't measure up.
To Cassie, it was really charming the way you said, "I very much enjoy" and then you pasted my own text from my ad back to me, even though the grammar didn't fit "I enjoy". Sorry you didn't understand my ad, I did say "one time meeting only, no chit-chat", so I politely decline your request to go to your web page to text with you. Yes, I know, free is good, by the way, it's not spelled "completly".
To Camelia, that was just plain weird, you said not to respond to any ad that directs me to a dating site, then you said to find you on a dating site. If you can't figure out that logic, I don't think you're NSA material...you'd get the wrong idea.
Melissa, thanks for the note, but just like I said to Cassie, I don't want chit-chat. I also note that you said you're new to Portland, in exactly the same words Cassie said and you both are "alex21" on the respective dating sites you refer to. Do you know each other?
Annie, funny how you wrote just like Camelia, to not go to other dating sites, but then to go to yours. Also, it's not "completly".
Kourtney, it's just plain weird that you wrote exactly what Camelia said, "maybe you would like to speak with a young girl so that we will know more about each other because i'm new in portland and looking for a relationship/roommate" and the thing about chit-chat. As I said in my ad, no chit-chat and no, I don't want a "young girl", that would be just icky. Do you and Camelia know each other?
Sherrie, you just didn't even READ my ad, did you? If you had, you would not have said you were new to Portland and interested in hanging out and developing an LTR. Oh and what is it with having to sign up somewhere to "chit chat" with you? When in the heck did the phrase "chit chat" come back?
Katie, congrats, you're the first one who seemed to identify what I wanted "not looking for anything serious, just a fun buddy if you catch my
drift  ", however you also identify yourself as half my age (what I specifically said I did NOT want) and the link you gave me to your "pic"...well, it's a pic of a pretty, young girl, but it also says on the side that it's the photo being used by a spammer on CL...and the text on the page is EXACTLY what you wrote to me so I think you're not "real".
Jenny, again you're saying you "want to hang out" which is not what I want, and amazingly, while you suggested a different dating site than Sherrie did, you BOTH chose the user name "lovinlife444". Weird how women just randomly all pick the same user ID on different sites, isn't it! Are you twins separated at birth?
Uh, Evileena, you signed your email Stacy...and you also sent me to a spam site. If you can't remember where you put your own pics, I admit I won't be able to be interested in a hookup.
Sherry (different spelling than Sherrie), what is going on? Your email addy says Sherry, your first line says "hi I'm Sarah" and you sign your email Elizabeth. If you can't remember your name, I doubt you'd remember the date, time and location of our tryst. Sorry, I'm just not going to explain it further.
Kaitlyn, ah...I knew a woman by that name, and she was married, but if she weren't - what a body! 20 pounds underweight but busty as all hell with big nips that could not hide under thick brassieres and layers of sweatshirt and sweater. But you didn't even offer to meet, you just directed me to a "free dating site". I'm sorry, but I'm already on one, called Craigslist.
Marcell, you've got Sherry's problem! Your email says you're Marcell, you said you're Britney, then signed Erica. And what is this with so many women being 23 years old and just moved to Portland? Can't a 23 year old just go to any bar and get a date?
Nanci, something electronic screwed up. Your email text was EXACTLY the same as Marcell's and they were sent with the same timestamp. Right down to directing me to the same singles site, and the fact that you signed yourself Erica but called yourself Britney. Try sending again, since your message clearly got garbled. Or was it Marcell's that was garbled? Marcell, if you're still reading, try again.
Kaitlin, that was just weird...you sent me a nice email that said you'd like to get together on my terms. I replied and said when are you available and the MOMENT I sent my reply, there was another from you that said, "I tried to upload a pic but couldn't, go here to my friend's website, I'm on there"...now why would you be on your friend's website and how could you have known to reply to me so fast? That's just weird. Tell you what, I sent you a newsy email, reply to that at some length and we'll see, OK? I know I'm just in this for a quickie, but I don't want a quickie with a woman who only knows one-liners. I mean, let's say we get together and it looks like you're ready to have me in you, are you going to say, "go three houses down to find real pussy"....
Danica, you wrote exactly what Kaitlin did...hey, I'm starting to smell a rat!
Nellie, look, if you'd read my ad, you'd know I'm not "looking for friends to chill with", so I'm sorry to simply say no thanks.
Octavia, you sounded real - but when I replied to your email address, I got a bot response. Try sending from a different email address.
Weird - some women just can't read and others seem to have trouble with their email, and so many don't even know their own names.
No WONDER they have to turn to the 'net for dating...no way they'd make it in the real world.
Meanwhile, any woman interested in a one-time-only NSA meeting with a middle-aged man...ah, never mind.
