sin-savoring, creatively inclined, admirably HONEST,
openly affectionate, slightly strange stylized hotties who
would like to raise bilingual rugrats one day

don't harbor f*cked up caveman era superiority complexes

NICE/compliment & gift giving variety nor
those who possess wig collections...are also welcome
i.e. sincerely sick of non-commital flings and the completely
unwarranted but all too common post-date"i find you
intimidating" line which usually precedes a wake of rolling,
mouth sadly agape, boy-go-bye-bye dust...hence a bit
worn out by most things testosterone and dating in general,
but if you blow the dam sky high, this milkmaid will
make the time. though not likely any time soon, seeing
as my heart has just been broken.

friends, goobers whose profiles read like homogenously daft
match.com personal ads, self-proclaimed highbrows who feel compelled
to literally spell out just how "witty", "intellectual", "smart
as a whip" or otherwise falsely superior they presume themselves
to be, anyone "looking for a partner in crime", culture snobs,
the habitually dishonest, those lacking "common" courtesy skills, over
emoters who take their pages and their poetry readings and life
tenets and goals and dreams and poseur lists and general gay spaces
waaaaaaaaaaay too seriously, those who send add requests
w'out notes or impersonal cut n' paste mass mailings, morons
who will sadly never read thus far in opting to navigate with their
photo mesmerized dicks ...nor the great white texan halfwit!!!!!!
and little boys: if you write me notes using acronyms like "LOL your hot"
or "U R 2 sexy", preemptively ask for my IM handle, offer
cash for my used panties or ask me to pose for porn, know that your
