<link>http://chicago.craigslist.org/nch/w4m/984273825.html</link>
<description><![CDATA[Hey boys (and girls?), <p>

Usually, I'm a girl that has everything together.  I'm on a good 8 year plan to success.   My friends are just as busy as I am, and understand and lunch once a month is not cold, but practical.  I like wearing pencil skirts, silk shirts, and stilettos (all preferably black).  I read philosophy books to keep me sane, psychology books to keep me interested, and children's books to keep me human.  I speak with substance, and know exactly when to shut up and just get ****** up. <p>

I don't believe that "I am me" is an adequate perception of self, but instead, a lazy one.  I think games are fun (not the cheating ones, but the sadistic ones...).  Generally, I don't find people interesting outside of psychology; bar flies will always open up their legs, scholars tends to be rather empty behind their shell of knowledge, and suits are rather limited to the business ladder they are climbing.  I get along with all of them, they all have some use- entertainment, bouncing thoughts off each-other, and having a terribly good time blowing money, respectively.  So don't take me wrong, I'm quite the social butterfly =)<p>

Since I pointed out faults in others, I feel it is right to point out mine.  I can't entertain too well and talk about the weather, do not read new york times daily, and tend to be a bit too experimental, outgoing, and limitless (trust me, there is such a thing).  In movies, I relate most to the bitter, sarcastic character with the evil smile and alterior motive.  I do want to volunteer a lot when I finish school, but tend to get along better with the egotistical types.<p>

Today, I'm feel trapped by my books, uninspired drawing alone, and tripping dancing in front of a mirror.   This is a highly uncommon feeling, because I find text to be limitless, pastels to be terribly exciting, and the mirror to be a very gentle partner.  This will probably pass within the next 24 hours, but meanwhile, this seems like the right thing to do.<p>

I'm not Lauren Lee Smith or Lizzy Caplan, but I am tall, thin, have curly hair and a devilish smile.  You know, your pic gets mine. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[34swf, blonde, 5'4
I'm a very compassionate person with a big heart, down to earth, sweet, funny, goofy, honest, a great friend and sometimes flirty and sarcastic (but its all in good fun). I tend to be shy when I first meet someone, I think I would be best described as one of those girls you can take home to meet Mom. I'm also a big romantic and very old fashioned at times. I'm a very nurturing person when it comes to being in a relationship. 
As for the person I'm looking for: I definitely need to feel that initial attraction to someone, so looks are semi important. Laughter is also something that is important to me. If you can make me laugh, that is a bonus!!! Also, someone who is down to earth, honest, not a cheater, responsible, knows what they want, loyal, kind hearted, independent, confident (but not arrogant). We don't necessarily need to be interested in the same exact things, but having an open mind and trying things that your mate is interested in, is a good thing. I also like someone who wants their own personal space at times, I do not like to be smothered. 
<br>

<br>
Bye!

I am looking for someone who possesses self confidence, who is comfortable with themselves. Physically, I am hoping to find someone who is alittle more than relatively fit.

<description><![CDATA[It’s Tuesday night, and it cold outside.  I’m five-seven with chocolate brown and blonde highlights in my hair and blue eyes.  <br>
<br>
In my spare time and not working keeping inventory stocked at pharmacies across the country, you can find me on the pool deck.  I’m a coach and love every moment spent on the deck helping kids as young as 8, get better at a sport that I so very much love.  I'm a closet adrenaline junkie and a race fan.  I spent several years working in the auto industry and also have a love for fine German cars.  I love to travel and looking for my next adventure.  I'm just looking for a decent person with similar interests. <br>

<description><![CDATA[It's sad when people you know, become people you knew. <br>
It is one of life's tragedies when you meet someone that you know is meant to be, but due to unexpected circumstances and misunderstandings becomes someone you knew. <br>
Or when you can walk right past someone that at one part of your life was a big part of your life. <br>
How you used to be able to talk to them for hours about the little nothings in life... and now you can barely look at them and they at you. <br>
And all you have left is that aching feeling in your soul. <br>
It's funny how many people have posted this. Guess we are all in the same boat, missing someone. <br>
Be honest. If you really miss someone, a friend, a love, or family member right now & can't get them off your mind... then re-post this titled as "I Miss You". Within one minute whoever you are missing will surprise you. If you break this, you will have the worst love life in one hour. Tonight at midnight, your true love will realize they love you. Something good will happen to you between 1-4:30 tomorrow. It could be anywhere so get ready for the shock of your life. If you break the chain you will be cursed with relationship problems. Karma: if there is someone you loved or still do and can't get them out of your mind, re-post this in another city. Tonight between 1-4 they will remember how they love you as well. You will get the shock of your life tomorrow ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Please be classy, a gentleman, and prove to me that good men are stil out there. I know exactly what I want this time around and will not settle for less. If that comes off too strong for you - then I am probably not a woman for you. I do know how to be feminine, sexy and gentle, but also know what is not acceptable to me. I am funny, independent, passionate, caring, loooove adventure, fine dining, good wine, a great vodka martini, the beach, the water and warm weather! :) AND I have an accent - I mean I speak with one but I don't think with one :)<br>
I am tall 5'11 and am generally not attracted to men shorter than me. Blond hair, blue eyes.<br>
Please include your picture.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>First time posting on here but I have tried out Internet dating before. I've had some mixed results so far and haven't meet Mr. Right even though I did have a couple of serious relationships. Hoping I can find that right guy and start a new relationship.<br><br>I should tell you that I am a 30 year old and have been divorced for three years. I have no baggage from the divorce so there is nothing about that to cause problems. I am drama free and just enjoy spending time at my job and spending time with my cat and dog. I own my own place in the city so I'm financially stable and hope to find a guy that is as well.<br><br>I'd like to hear from you and hear about some things that you enjoy doing. Where are you from? Where type of job do you have? Any kids etc?<br><br>I do have a picture that I can send once I get a reply from you. Please send a picture with your reply and we can start talking. I usually check my email three of four times a day so I should be able to get back to you today.<br><br>Hope to hear from you soon.</p>]]></description>

I am easy going, independent, and looking for a guy  I can get to know and see where things go. <br>

<link>http://chicago.craigslist.org/nch/w4m/980299989.html</link>
<description><![CDATA[I want to adore you. I want you to be proud to have me by your side. I want to support what you love and what makes you happy. I want passion. I want you to make me laugh. I know I'll make you laugh. Do you have secrets? They are safe with me. I don't judge. I love the company of a good man. I promise you will never want to stop doing chivalrous things for me when each time you get a "thank you", a smile, a kiss on the cheek, a kiss on the lips, or just a sincere look of appreciation. You take care of me, I will take care of you. <br>
<br>
I am extremely happy with my life. I am not bitter about past relationships. I am actually thankful for them. I know what I want. I am in no hurry to find a "date". I am looking for something that takes a long time to build. Let's take the time to get to know everything about each other and never stop discovering ways we can satisfy.  <br>
<br>
I love talent. What's yours? I will be your biggest fan. I have a huge interest in every type of music. I am always willing to see a live show. I am not "Hot", nor do I care to be. However I am far from unattractive. I have my own style. I can stand out or I can blend. I can be extremely feminine or I can release my inner tom-boy. I am professional during the day, and totally chill at night. <br>
<br>
Send me a pic and a little about yourself. I promise to reveal myself in return. I know it's not fair, but I am the girl. :)]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Hey, <p>

I don't care if you have dreads or slick your hair back, <br>
If you have a full sleeve or wear a tailored suit to work every day, <br>
What I do care about is that you are self-confident and have a sense of purpose, <br>
That you take care of your body and soul, <br>
under 27 years old, and, here goes... "weight and height proportionate"<p>

As for me, you should be ok with me <br>
being tall, <br>
staying up all night, <br>
eating meat, wearing fur, <br>
speaking my mind, <br>
being outgoing, <br>
being foreign, <br>
wearing stilettos. <p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I know what I don't want. I know that sounds negative, but it really leaves the door wide open once we get past the deal-breakers so here they are.
<br>

<br>
You must NOT:
<br>
Mind that I have a kid;
<br>
Be overly religious;
<br>
Be married, separated, in a relationship;
<br>
Be more than 10 years older or younger than I am;
<br>
Be in a hurry;
<br>
Be looking only for sex, especially only for one specific type of sex (BDSM, "I love your toes" etc.);
<br>
Be addicted to anything stronger than coffee and the corollary, use/abuse drugs of any kind;
<br>
Be unemployed or about to move far away;
<br>
Be intolerant or bigoted.
<br>

<br>
OK, that's not so unreasonable, is it?
<br>

<br>
I'm 43, 5'6", slim, brown hair, blue eyes.
<br>

<br>
I'm happy to tell you more if you're interested.

<description><![CDATA[I'm 5'4, 135 lbs (but fit), tomboy-ish, smoke cigarettes, enjoy 420, drinking friendly, and currently a college student.<br>
<br>
Have you seen Juno? All of my friends tell me that Juno is like me. Not me being similar to Juno, but Juno being similar to me.<br>
<br>
If you like the band who wrote the song in the posting title, then you're five points ahead of the others. Haha.<br>
<br>
I play guitar. I love music. I love movies. I love writing. I love a lot of things. I'm Christian, but I don't practice. I'm more spiritual I guess.<br>
<br>
I'd prefer any replies to this ad are men between the ages of 19-23 years old. Please be physically fit and taller than me. I prefer no Asians, because I am one and more than one Asian in a relationship drives me nuts. I like diversity. Haha.<br>
<br>
Hit me up if you're interested. I have no car and I live with my parents. I don't work, I help my parents out instead. So if you're a man who will take care of me and remind me how much he cares-- you're my kind of guy. I like sweet guys who enjoy cuddling and are open slash very accepting of my personality.<br>
<br>
I'm hoping for something long-term. But it all starts off as friends so we'll make do with what we have.<br>
<br>
If and when you reply, please tell me what town you reside in, your age, physical stats, etcetera. The rudimentary goodies. Oh, and please, please, please, attach a picture of yourself and describe your likes and dislikes. I want to make sure you aren't a spambot or whatever they're called these days. Upon your reply, I'll send my picture and we can hopefully move forward from there.<br>
<br>
Thanks for your time and reading this lame post.<br>
<br>
I don't do this often, but hey, I figured I should try it out again. Oh, and one last thing: if you do reply, please, I beg of you, write in complete sentences and use correct grammar. I enjoy down-to-earth, educated guys, who know what they're talking about and know what they want. :)<br>

<title><![CDATA[A Totally Honest Post (North Burbs) 36yr]]></title>
<link>http://chicago.craigslist.org/nch/w4m/978481137.html</link>
<description><![CDATA[All this may make me sound like a hard-nosed bitch (which in rare times I can be); I am in reality a very nice, caring, respectful and interesting person. I just wanted to lay out all the bad stuff in the beginning. <br>
<br>
I’m overweight, size 18 for those cryptologists who have figured out the female sizing system. For those not in the know, a BBW on the smaller side. Yes I have hips, yes I have boobs. I also have thighs and a bit of a belly. Dove might consider me for an ad campaign, but there’s no way I’m having pictures taken for national publication in a sports bra. I am woman, hear me roar. <br>
<br>
I’m a smoker. Yeah, yeah I know- disgusting habit and I will probably die connected to a respirator. I won’t blow smoke in your face if you don’t show me pictures of a diseased lung. I do not smoke in non-smoking areas and can hold off for several hours or cut way back if I'm around those whom it really bothers.<br>
<br>
I’m 36. That ticking you hear is my biological clock. I would like to have kids someday (not tomorrow) and so would my mother. Actually, she’s more desperate for grandkids than I am and never lets an opportunity pass to let me know. <br>
<br>
I’m Caucasian, mostly German heritage with some Norwegian and French Canadian thrown in to mix things up. I am not Asian, exotic, an “English rose” or a “cute redhead”. I am on the taller side of average, 5’6’’ with shoulder length brown hair and blue eyes. Some freckles, some moles. I have two tattoos. I had my nose pierced for a few months once but got grossed out by the “booger factor” no one warned me about. I do dress to the occasion and you would not be afraid to introduce me to your family or boss.<br>
<br>
I was raised Catholic, but consider myself agnostic bordering on atheist.  I respect everyone else’s beliefs and expect the same.<br>
<br>
I spend a lot of time with my dogs; walking, training, agility, dog parks, dog-friendly bars/restaurants and rescue/charity functions. One is a Border collie mix, with more energy than a nuclear power plant. If I don’t find on outlet for all that energy, I come home to a train wreck. The other is a Boxer/American Bulldog who is on the older side, but has been trained for personal protection work.  He’s a big couch potato of a boy but when push comes to shove, he’ll take down the “bad guys”.<br>
<br>
I’m a bit of a beer/wine/coffee/food snob. Guinness is my beer of choice. Sauvignon Blanc for wine, Merlots make me gag. I do know how to pair wine with a meal and haven’t consumed the “juice box” variety since college.  I also have a high tolerance for alcohol, I don’t get drunk easily. Needless to say I’m not a “cheap date”. I studied to be a chef for several years and while I don’t need or want a four star restaurant every night, the food has to be *good*. I haven’t stepped in a fast food joint in over 10 years; Mom & Pop places are just fine. If you know what a roux is, kudos. If you can make a roux, you’re good with me.  Anthony Bourdain is one of my heroes.<br>
<br>
I’ve moved a lot in my life, inside and out of the US. I’ve also traveled extensively. I kind of pity those who were born in the same place and never left or haven’t traveled more than 200 miles from their hometown. <br>
<br>
I don’t put up with bullshit and will call you out on it.  However, I don’t believe in fighting in public and would much rather work out problems maturely and respectfully without stooping to insults and low-blows.<br>
<br>
I read a lot. If all you read are Grisham novels or Sports Illustrated we will probably not get along. <br>
<br>
I hate dance clubs. Don’t ever suggest going to one. Neighborhood bars where you can actually carry on a conversation are more my thing. Pool halls and jazz or blues clubs are also good. I refuse to pay a cover for a DJ.<br>
<br>
My two biggest pet-peeves are people who are always late and bad tippers.<br>
<br>
My sense of humor can be a bit sarcastic at times, if you haven't noticed already. <br>
<br>
So after all this, anyone interested?<br>

<link>http://chicago.craigslist.org/nch/w4m/978271004.html</link>
<description><![CDATA[So I have played the craigslist game before and I have met a lot of mistakes, but I never really said what I wanted.  First let me start by describing myself.  I am plump, I am going to be upfront with that, so if you don't want that then don't ask.  Also I kind of emotional, but thats good a thing, I'm there when you need me.  People say my best feature is my eyes and my ass.  I am also intelligent and appreciate intelligent conversations.<br>
<br>
Let me just say what I want.  Like I have said, I have played these games before and so I am looking for something serious.  But I am not looking for a first date right yet, I would like to talk to you through email and phone first, and then if we have chemistry we can go for there.  But I am NOT looking for a hookup.  So if you are like me and are looking for a serious relationship, or at least more serious than a one night stand, then contact me. and lets get to know each other!<br>
<br>
Also I don't care about body size, age, or race.  I just wanna meet someone I am compatible with, so contact me if you are also looking for something serious!]]></description>

Typical uneducated black male with women issues. I posted early as a funny attempt to start a convo but ladies you know how silly some men are. It was funny because he is the main one talking about black power and stay up sister but dates white women so sad. Jay flattery is the name and bullshit is the game. Who responds to an ad like that? You make all blacks look bad. ]]></description>

<link>http://chicago.craigslist.org/nch/w4m/976413733.html</link>
<description><![CDATA[Am meeting a girlfriend at Cadillac Ranch but also wanted to find someone nice to dance with!  <br>
<br>
Here's the kind of man I'm looking for:  You're a gentleman and enjoy taking care of the women you date. Am looking for an UNATTACHED man who is interested in developing a relationship. Neither one of us is looking for a one-night stand. Would like to meet someone who likes to dance (obviously !) and someone who is NOT married, and tall. You're white, successful, care about others, have a great sense of humor, and don't talk exclusively about yourself when you meet someone new. You enjoy meeting new people and discovering what makes them special:  their gems of uniqueness. You adore women in general and want to be with someone as smart as you ! You appreciate good conversation and avoid being with superficial people as much as possible. You don't need to brag about how successful you are because people can sense this without being told. Your self-esteem is healthy and your body is fit. You're not a couch potato; rather, you like to make plans and being with people invigorates you. You relish being with a woman who can focus solely on you while you're speaking, and she looks you straight in the eye while doing so. Oh, and by the way, standing a woman up would NEVER EVEN OCCUR to you !!<br>
<br>
Some quick details about me: I'm smart and spunky, well-traveled, speak French fluently,  love to bike and dance, sail and snow ski, am attracted to younger men generally, have an MBA, used to have a job that paid me the big bucks. Now I'm a MOM to my kids (2 teenagers) when they're with me, which is half the time. Separated 2 years and divorce underway.  I'm 5'4", slender, attractive.  Don't look or act my age, believe me.  Am spontaneous, have a good sense of humor, can dish it out and take it, life of the party, am tolerant and respectful. Anxious to have some fun! <br>
<br>
No anger management issues with my "ex" ---he's a good guy, a good Dad, and I want him to be happy. <br>
<br>
I'm a classy woman, wholesome, attractive, spirited, spontaneous, open to new activities, fun-loving, down to earth, vivacious. A real people person! My lights are on and somebody's home, if you get my drift ! <br>
<br>
Send me a note about yourself and I'll respond.........then I'd like to see your pictures. I'll reciprocate. Thanks for reading!]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Looking to go out.
I am a professional woman who is very much a kid at heart. Looking for someone who likes to have fun and occasional be a little goofy when the mood strikes or doesnt mind hanging out at the movies. I love to laugh and I love to make people laugh, so having a great sense of humor is a must. 
<br>

<br>
If you would like a picture i can send you one if you send me one first. I make no apologies I know what I like and I know what attracts me. Having all your original teeth (I fawn over a beautiful smile) and hair is a plus. Although sometimes a man who shaves his head and/or other parts is priceless, lol. 
<br>

<br>
I dont have any tattoos or piercings but if you do its kewl. Anything you want to inquire of me. I will answer serious inquires only. Not looking for BS. I want to go out and have fun. That's all, I am open to more than that if it happens.<br>

<description><![CDATA[So yup, I got the flu and it is not so much fun hanging out at home on New Years, but I have to say I am glad 2008 is almost over. I am looking to chat with a guy and see where things end up.. I am 6'0, so I prefer a guy to be my height or taller. I played basketball in college and I am a preschool teacher. Love sports and I enjoy good conversation and the outdoors. I am pretty laid back and easy going. I am close to my family and friends. I am independent, kind, caring and compassionate. I am looking for a guy to be respectful of me and I will so the same. Have a good night and I hope to hear from you!<br>
Happy new year!]]></description>
