I'd like to meet:
I AM NOT INTERESTED IN YOUR SHITTY BAND, SHITTY WEB STORE, SHITTY EBAY AUCTIONS, SHITTY WEBSITE, OR WHATEVER OTHER SHITTY SERVICE OR PRODUCT YOU'RE PUSHING. ALL MESSAGES REGARDING THESE WILL BE THROWN OUT AND YOU WILL BE BLOCKED.DO NOT ASK ME FOR NUDE OR TOPLESS PHOTOS. DO NOT ASK ME TO HAVE SEX WITH YOU, WHETHER IN PERSON, ON THE PHONE, OR ONLINE. DO NOT ASK ME TO TALK DIRTY TO YOU. I AM NOT INTERESTED IN A CAREER IN PORN. I DO NOT HAVE A WEBCAM, I WILL NOT BE GETTING A WEBCAM ANYTIME IN THE FORSEEABLE FUTURE, AND EVEN IF I HAD ONE, I WOULD NOT SPEND MY TIME "CAMMING", "FOOLING AROUND" OR DOING ANYTHING ELSE OF A SEXUAL NATURE VIA WEBCAM WITH ANYONE. IF YOU MESSAGE ME SPOUTING ANY KIND OF OFFENSIVE SEXUAL CONTENT, YOU WILL BE BLOCKED. AND I AM NOT INTERESTED IN WOMEN!!!Also, DO NOT bother contacting me if you're shallow, ignorant, narrow-minded, interested in me only for casual sex, a drug addict, a whigger, a poser, determined to convert me to your point of view, want me to be "the other woman", or if you speak "Ebonics" unless you would like my help in ridding you of these traits. Frankly, I'm sick of attracting rabid horndogs and dirty old men whose primary concern is sticking their beef in my various orifices. If you can't talk to me like a human being, then leave me alone. I have no need for any more assholes in my life. Also, if your profile has basically no information in it, odds are I won't add you unless we have a common friend.
In romantic terms, I have the tasties for asian, latino, and white boys, the kind with dark hair, wild and soulful black-lined eyes, and piercings and/or tattoos. Every romance starts out as friends first. If something romantic blossoms from it, that would be a wish come true. The more affectionate the guy is, the better. Gentlemanly manners are always appreciated, and affection and favors reciprocated. He MUST know how to properly treat a lady. So many who say they do are sadly mistaken. I am very loyal, affectionate, and doting to those I love. If a man wishes to spend something on me, I'd be most impressed if he spent time. I need a man's time infinitely more than his money. A potential mate must like animals, and ideally is not allergic to cats.
If I request to add you as a friend, it's because I want to talk to you, not because I'm trying to "boost my numbers". And just because I add you doesn't mean I want to fuck you till you bleed from your ears. I may not write you right away, so take the initiative and write me first, you WILL get a response. I try to write everyone as often as I can, but I end up busy sometimes and it may take awhile before I am able to write even a short message to my friends, but believe me, I want to talk to you, and I wouldn't have you on my friends list if I didn't.
That said, I'm looking for people with similar interests, open minds, completely twisted sense of humor; people who are crazy, funky, fun-loving, intelligent, eccentric, wild, out-there, etc. I like meeting new people with new things to teach me, people who like to have fun and can carry on long conversations about nothing and everything. I like people with whom I can have an exchange of ideas and knowledge, or whose who would like to debate any conceivable topic with me. I definitely would like people of every gender, sexual orientation, heritage, profession, ideology, zodiac sign, religion, etc. to contact me.
In professional terms, I'm looking to work with people who want me as a singer or musician; photographers or artists who want me as a model of any kind; anyone who wants me as a tutor, writer, proofreader, or artist. Please see my networking section.
