I like good stuff - 22

I enjoy thinking. A lot of people pursue things that are meaningless below the surface and I do not want that.

I would like to meet a woman that is attractive. It would be nice if you like good stuff (basketball, table tennis, many kinds of games, trampolines, documentaries, clever movies, silly jokes). Indpendently-minded is a good trait. I have some amazing, close friends, but I like meeting new people and intimacy is nice.

I am a good-looking guy. 5'11". I like how Craigslist encourages listings without pictures (in contrast to MySpace where people post all kinds of crazy, self-indulgent things).

I am willing to trade pictures.

hm... gosh, don't think I'm all that interested in leaving a long thang here.

Yeah, I suppose I'm looking for someone... someone that isn't a toy, but what the hell? I figure I'll just see if something lands in my lap all natural like. I suppose that means I still believe in fairy tales, but it's my dream so don't be looking for the baloon.

um.. What kind of person am I looking for? Well, she should be Uber conservative, Look at home in a tweed power skirt, believe that Geo Busch is God and willing to follow him blindly into his *nukular* armageddon.......

Alternatively, she should wear Doc Martins, Vans, or Converse shoes that contrast with her tattoos and the black beret she wears to left-wing pep rallys where everyone......

Come on! Let's get real here okay? If I knew what kind of girl was the girl of my dreams, do you think I would be firing randomly into the craigslist? (Don't answer that, there might actually be a correct answer and I don't wanna know)

Okay here's what I think, I clean up real nice for corporate America - doin' the Computer systems engineer sysadmin thang now for about 25+yrs. I can't wait to get out of those dry-cleaned, culligan man uniforms and into some ultra comfortable, cotton rags that are so faded and tattered, you almost can't even tell their Levi's. My second fav color is fuschia, and my fav is Black and Blue.

I have a 10yr old daughter who might be wiser than you, I'm old enough to sleep alone and dumb enough to do it, I love sailing, beating audience members with chairs, SCUBA diving, petting dogs and other small furry *aminals*, and just diggin' a BBQ during a sunset at the beach with my daughter and a bunch of my friends here in Super Sunny Southern San Clemente, California ;)

My name is Bradley, and if you wanna know more about me then you should visit one of the profiles below. Pls send a pic for a response okay? Hey, really, just a friend to talk to or someone to cook dinner with once in a while is okay. Someone with a mind, a cause, an opinion, or that can recommend a good book that isn't based on computer programming languages :)

TakingFire (dawtcalm)

and you can also visit my mysapce page which is /Amra

You can hear some of my tunes there too, and read a bit more about me.


Take care,

Bradley

Looking for an older "...Woman, who would kindly take care of a young[er] Man, form his manners by her good Councils, and prevent his ruining his Health and Fortune among mercenary Prostitutes."
...
why?
...
Because they have more Knowledge of the world, and their Minds are better stored with Observations; their conversation is more improving, and more lastingly agreeable."

Already spent too much of my life day dreaming, and still haven't woken from my repose. I've got a lotta learning to do. Wake me up before you go go.

Single, Successful, Powerful Homeless Man Seeking Woman of His Dreams - 37
Reply to: pers-181416364@craigslist.org

Hello Ladies,

I am a single, successful and powerful homeless man seeking his ideal mate. I am a free spirit, and socially conscious (I only cover myself at night with the Post and old copies of Mother Jones).

My suite of boxes is located in and around Georgetown, a very swanky neighborhood. The food one finds in garbage cans in this area is top notch, and the people are fairly clean, so we will dine well. In the libation department, one can usually find a few good swallows left in the odd bottles of fine wines. And the cigar butts are usually Cuban. Being homeless around those who have mastered the art of fine living can have its rewards, ladies.

As it is now summertime, automatic sprinklers mean that I am clean most of the time. Many of my neighbors grow rosemary and mint in their gardens. When ground into a poultice, and applied with Oak twigs, these herbs do a dynamite job of keeping my teeth and breath in tip top shape. So, when we kiss by the moonlight, you may be assured that it will be a pleasant experience.

I prefer women who do not smoke. I have trouble enough scrounging up enough recyclables to cover my own smoking habit, let alone yours. If you do smoke, well, you will be responsible for your own habit.

You should be fit, and agile. You should love the outdoors, and be appreciative of the small things in life. Please, no stuck up women who will nag me to find more boxes to add on to my pad. I like my life, and I like who I am - don't need anyone to try to change me.

Finally, the ability to communicate with animals would be nice. I fought with a raccoon last night over a half eaten chicken leg, and didn't get the best of it. If you could smooth the way for us with the various dogs, feral cats and the occassional opposum, that would be very cool.

Hope to hear from you soon!

Hank the Hobo
