The discussion revolves around a matchmaking initiative within a community of physics enthusiasts, where participants express their relationship status and preferences. A poll is created to gauge the availability of singles, with categories for various age groups and relationship types, including those open to long-distance relationships. Participants share humorous anecdotes and personal stories about their dating experiences, highlighting the challenges of finding compatible partners within the community. There are discussions about the nuances of relationship statuses, including those who are taken but not in committed relationships, and the complexities of modern dating dynamics. The conversation takes a lighthearted turn with playful banter and flirtation, as members joke about their preferences and the matchmaking process, while also addressing the realities of dating in a niche community. Overall, the thread combines humor with genuine attempts to connect members based on shared interests and relationship goals.

:redface: It wasn't actually a matter of me coming to my senses. (I'm not all that sure that I have any.) Fact is, I wasted 6 1/2 years on her, and in the end she elected to remain with her current husband. Six months later, she got rid of him and rejoined the dating pool. We're friends again, but I still won't let her play with matches.

It's odd that. The best firestarter I ever met was a Welsh girl (and I don't mean arsonist).

Well, Jane could definitely generate sparks, just not in the pyrotechnic sense.
I'm sure you're familiar with the saying that gentlemen prefer blondes because where there's light, there's heat.

Hmmmm...in retrospect, instead of age categories, I should have used my limited number of poll choices to determine who was male and female. This is presenting some problems in my match-making. Should I just assume everyone is bisexual? :biggrin:

<--- Single 22 y.o. M. ISO of BBW, NS, Villanova PA.

LOL I have no idea what those terms mean, I just always wanted to write them and make up my own personals ad.

LOL! Should I tell you what they mean? Okay, this is probably an important lesson for anyone who feels the need to use personal ads. :biggrin:

Single, 22 year-old male, in search of bisexual black woman, nonsmoker. :wink:

Gravenewworld: BBW means big, beautiful woman. I'm sure there are a lot of guys into that kind of thing :wink: :smile:

:rolleyes: Hmmm...better check those codes in the paper again. No wonder personal ads don't work out very well...how many other ways can we interpret BBW?

Yeah, and some of these ads are just one typo away from being a car ad! SWF ISO BMW! Hmm...that might be a fun one to run, just to see what replies I get...only look for men with BMWs...oh, wait, nevermind, I'd just get a lot of arrogant jerks calling. :rolleyes:

Hey, don't go straight now! That will completely wreck my whole match-making plan here! I thought you and polyb would hit it off well, but that won't work if you're straight! :smile:

So Moonbear, what kind of car..I mean, guy are you looking for?

Undoubtedly something fast and out of control. :biggrin:

Well, that's not really my scene... but when there are no walruses around, I'll take whatever I can get.

Something dependable, gets good mileage, but plenty of power under the hood and good handling of curves. :biggrin:

Dang Moonbear, the "Single, available, over 30; will consider long-distance dating " category looks really pathetic, we all know who that 5 are and we're no gems. :wink:

I personally have lowered my criteria to "single sane man". The only men I meet are borderline insane. :frown: Except I think a couple may have crossed that line at one point.

And I thought I was the only one doomed. People ask me if I'm married and then I have to confess that no man will have me 'cuz I'm so ornery. My Dad's made a tidy sum--the guys keep paying him to take me back. :cry:

Well, if you'd just stop being so picky, you might be able to find yourself a man already! :-p :smile:

Actually, the over 30 category isn't as bad as it looks. There's a halfway decent male/female ratio in that one! But, even when I count in the two I don't think voted yet, there's still one odd one out.

I think SOS and tribdog would do well together. They're already doing that playful melon squeezing flirting stuff. And, Evo, since you've already turned down polyb once, how do you feel about living a little Danger-ously?

But that leaves me and MIH to fight over polyb. :frown: Do we have another male candidate? (No, polyb, no matter how much you're begging right now, you can't have both of us. :biggrin:)

Hang on here! I thought after last night that Evo, Moonbear and MIH were my harem. Is there no end to the disappointment around here? :-p

Flirt? Can anyone top Danger? I think tribdog is mad at me now that he knows it's been me that keeps moving his shopping cart...and maybe a little embarrassed that I know about the melons...and he can't guess my underwear--Commando--hah! (just kiddin') :smile:

This can only end badly. I have a sinking feeling this is going to result in the Moonbear-MIH mud wrestling thread.

You look hungry, Moonbear. Come on out - I'll feed you some escargot. :devil:
