Trouble is those kind of girls you want have already played their own copy of Obsidian and they don't do parties. Maybe the internet forums are the place to find her?

Oh and I also like men with a hairy chest (and hairy legs too), but not hair on the back. Something about a hairy chest really turns me on.
I think it's a shame that more male models aren't hairy but I guess by the time they get them all oiled up for a photo layout the hair would look pretty bad . . . .

Michelle,
I like Alan's poetry. It reminds me of Anne.

There's nothing that turns me off quite as much as someone who's unbearably arrogant and full of themselves. It just makes me want to vomit kittens.
Vomit kittens? Wtf? Well, anyway, I'd second that! People who are like that are just annoying as hell, aren't they? I can't stand their presence for long. Gosh, I hope no one looks at me that way. : I try to avoid it the best I can anyway.

I think that what turns me off the most is women that think they are Goddesses or Queens and that sort of stuff.
Thank you Caroline, for allowing me to vote.

Vomit kittens? Wtf?
Everything sounds nicer when you include kittens
And I've put my final vote in now. I voted for...
body odour and/or horrible scent (because my ex used to smell a bit funny, so nowadays I'm rather fussy about hygene),
drug use (specifically, smoking and drinking a bit's less of a problem. Start shooting up heroin while I'm in the room and I'm gone),
and their laugh / voice volume (one high-pitched, nasal machine-gun laugh is enough to make me want to bury my head in kittens)

True enough. Just as well I'm an unparty kind of guy myself! Can't stand crowds, noise, and I don't drink except for the occasional glass of wine.

Well, they've got match making sites for every other sub group. I might as well start one for "Puzzler adventure gaming logophile Tolkienites"!

No, actually, a logophile is someone who loves words.

Do you put on women's clothing and hang around in bars? That might be the reason for your dating problem...

I assembled all the volumes of HoME awhile back, but I have to admit I never got further than the Book of Lost Tales, Volume 1. I should pick that up again. As for other Tolkien works: Loved the Silmarillion, found Unfinished Tales a mixed bag, but the collected Poems and Stories were very good.

However, in Sauron Defeated (Vol 9) The Notion Club Papers is a fascinating glimpse of Tolkien's more contemporary writing of a man who retains an innate memory of the drowning of Numenor. Sort of a time travel meets middle-earth.

......hmmmmm...... [drums fingers]........ well yes, you will hear from me Bill..... I've sent half a dozen burly toga-clad overly-muscled guards around to your place to beat some respect into you.....
...so after they've dragged your sorry ass through the streets of my Utopia we'll see what you have to say about goddesses then, eh?
And if I wasn't so delighted to hear from you again after all this time, your punishment would be A LOT worse! :-*

Surely you two can't expect us to believe you would find every woman in a party sexy enough to want to date? Even one with bad breath and dirty hair, shoulders white with dandruff, yesterday's dinner down her chest, barefoot and grossly overweight?

Status : Offline | Over to you, Speck, if you please.
I can't seem to get my point across which is:
"I don't discriminate at social functions!".
Strike One: I'm now fifty years of age.
Strike Two: I ain't as pretty as I used to be. Just better looking, actually. :
Strike Three and "You're Out!": I have different responsibilities, interests, mores, and a little more financial freedom than those that are perhaps thirty years younger or more than I.
I had my "fun" when I was younger (although most of the time I wasn't attending parties, I was working (playing in the band) for them).
Then, when the party was over, I was stuck loading in semi-trucks tons of band gear and driving hundreds of miles to the next job. It was work, my friends.
I guess my life hasn't really been very much fun - so now? I'm ready, and I wanna go - although I have been many times to all these places - I'd fly in and fly immediately out - to Europe, Hungary, Holland, Finland, Denmark, Germany, France, Australia, Africa, Switzerland, etc. - and Walt Disney World. Hee.
I'm interested in everyone - no matter where they are from. I want to learn some of their language, try to understand their customs, eat their food, see their sites - I want to engage myself with them.
"Girls Just Wanna Have Fun"
Attributed to Cyndi Lauper, Circa 1980-something)
But it's the same for boys.
P.S. You're pushing it a leetle too far with that last scenerio, Caroline.

Status : Offline | And you Grumbly-Mark, are persistently, stubbornly (just like a middle aged man) mis-interpreting the entire motive behind what this was..... please read the girls' responses - they knew what I meant..... actually so did a couple of other men - younger men)
As both you and Speck are NOT single, and are both past your prime, I would imagine you would NOT go to a party looking for a date. Cor blimey.....
As it happens I never was on the dating scene - picking and choosing men - that was something someone else got to do but I sure know what I find sexually attractive and what repulses me in a man. I don't like spitting either, or slurping noises when drinking, or eating with the mouth open, or vulgar jokes.)
Attending a social gathering and simply talking to people - that's fun but NOT what I was asking and you damn well know it. Stop trying to make out I'm some sort of beauty nazi. >

...but I AM single, Dear Abby, I mean, Caroline.
Sonja is a girl I've known since I was two years old (with an interruption of about 35 years, I have not seen her or talked with her - at all). She lives over 150 miles away. She married and divorced twice; had a son. She's had a lifetime of experiences I have not.
I am not interested in getting too close with her, physically or emotionally (and probably vice-versa). She didn't like me when "dating age" came 'round, and there I was as a young man of dating age thinking I would always marry her - but alas - she wasn't interested. I was spurned. So I (literally) moved (on).
We are now - what I guess the only word for would be: reacquaintances. And I think we are both only interested in only keeping our relationship - well, in a word: light.
So, I am single - until things change. In which they may or may not.

Wanna bet? Wanna know what I actually did last night?
I changed a light bulb - outside, in the dark and snow, twenty feet above the ground, on a rickety ladder. Now, if I can do that, I can do anything.

No, you're trying to pry into what people are "attracted to" on a visceral level and it is very limiting - for everyone. The "She's my type, but she's not." - thing.

Well, at least I have you. But you're not single, so the point is moot.

Never. I'm too cheap for self-promotion.
