<![CDATA[So, I've never done this before so you will have to bare with me. I am white female and 18 years old. I am looking for girls to hang out with as friends, for the most part, because I do have a boyfriend, but if you're up for a 3 person deal, why not? LOL I am not particular about race but I would prefer you not be too, too much older than me. I'm not really looking for male responses, thank you though. In the subject box please put the name of the hurricane that is coming. Thanks a bunch : )]]>

<![CDATA[The moment I use the word 'we', we now exist. It is so very easy. Whoever you are, whoever I am, you and I are now a we. There is no knowing of each other. There is no seeing. There is no talking, no comprehension. Yet, we exist. You are reading the word we. Here we are. But, when you close this, this electronic page, will we still exist? will we still be there? you and I will still be there, somewhere. but, we is gone. and, sadly, once we are gone, there are only thoughts and memories. and one day, probably to-day, even those thoughts will be gone. And then, it would be as if we did not ever exist. I am unable to put blame on any human for what they need, what they must put down. This original sin isn't what makes humans culpable. Rather, it is our knowledge of our original sin.]]>

<![CDATA[Hello, I am a 46 year old male, and new to North Carolina. I moved here for a job, and left my wife and children back up north until next year. Looking for a female for friendship (not for anything else). Maybe you can show me around the area. Since I am very bored, with a lot of time, also looking for good conversation. Not into drugs, drinking and I am a non-smoker. Friendship only wanted. E-mail me, and lets talk.]]>

<![CDATA[Hi there, I"m recently out of a long term relationship and while I'm not looking for a relationship, I do miss having the company. So I thought I would see if there were any ladies out there in a similar situation and might be interested in curling up on the couch and watching a movie or two. Drinks, no drinks, popcorn, whatever... I'm easy :) Really just interested in having a relaxing evening with some good company. I have a 56" HD widescreen TV and good home theatre system; I finally added a Blu-Ray player to my home theater and just picked up Dark Knight and Monsters Inc. Dark Knight is supposed to be one of the top rated Blu-Ray movies as far as visual and audio quality goes... so would like to watch that. As for myself, I'm a swm, 6'2, 210lbs, attractive, fit, sane and just finding myself bored way more than I should be... If you're a single, attractive, hwp female who might be interested, shoot me an email and let's see what happens. ]]>

<![CDATA[I can't beleive I have a holiday off. What's out there to do here on Labor day? Anyone got ideas that I can join in on? Looking for ages of 30's - 40's. I don't drink, don't mind if you do, but prefer somewhere where it's not all about getting drunk. Looking for something to do during the day. And send a pic if you will, as there are two things about a person that I prefer not to hang with...I won't list them, as it may generate hate mail! :) OH NO, NOT HATE MAIL...on Craigs list? No way. Yes, my very first email, 20 seconds after I posted this: was rude, sarcastic, name calling and just plain mean. There are some really mean people here. so, any NICE people have any ideas what's happening on Labor Day and maybe I can join a group of you, or maybe you need someone to hang with you...??? ]]>

<![CDATA[I'm just looking for a extra boost in my workout routine, love to go jogging around the lake, I incorporate stretching and strengthening techniques afterward. I'm actually trying to increase my overall size (not overly big..but a masculine tone). In order for this to work...I have to implement cardiovascular (jogging), weights (free, machine), calisthenics (push-up,crushes,lunge) along with a healthy diet and plenty of fluids to stay hydrated. If your interested in getting into shape and toning up but need motivation, join me in a run and calisthenic workout. I would also love to learn from experience individuals as well (if there are other areas/parks that are conducive to jogging/exercising let me know and I'll join you if its not to far away). I know the training can be tough but the payoff is worth it....you get what you put in. Looking to improve my overall life through preparation (making a vow to myself), action (performing the workout), maintenance (continuing to exercise/meditate to cope with stress and avoid bad habits) and termination (making it apart of your lifestyle). Live your life to the fullest and thanks you for any feedback and participation. All that is required is yourself and a willingness to improve your health. ]]>

<![CDATA[Hey- I never really thought of craigslist as a place to make friends, but I thought I'd give it a shot. I'm a fairly recent graduate from UNC, and I've always had a tight group of friends...not TONS of friends, but close friends near me. Now a majority of them have gone off to other states for grad school, jobs, etc. And I'm single for the first time in years. I just plain don't know what to do with myself. I don't really party but I like to have fun every once in a while. I love going to concerts and museums, that kind of thing. Even if it's just someone to talk online with, it'd be good. I don't have many girl friends that I can talk to about things. Bottom line: I'm lonely, and it's hard to make friends after college. Let me know if you're interested!]]>

<![CDATA[I need a guy who is between 22 and 28 over 5'5' I don't like them too skinny but it would be a real issue. I'm 5'2" 112 lbs chocolate complexion. I love having my toes sucked and my feet rubbed. I like to drink I do smoke cigs but not the herbal stuff. I'm a very honest person which usually hurts me because I will tell you whats wrong with me before I tell you whats right so there are no surprises later. I have been told that I am aggressive because I speak my mind but I don't think so. So if you kept reading and you want to respond put " I'll try" in the subject line. O if your just looking for sex keep it moving.]]>

<![CDATA[Hello to the people of the craigslist world. I am looking to make some new friends. I enjoy hiking, camping, swimming, going to the beach, going to the movies, going out to dinner, getting lost in a book store. I love all types of music, I like to make art (even though Im not that good at it lol), Im 420 friendly. I like to think that I am some what of a hippie, but then again I am just me and cant really be anyone else. Well hope to hear back from some people that are just looking to make some new friends. Me - I am 23 years old, I have blond dreads, hazel eyes, 5'8. ]]>

<![CDATA[Seems all my friends are married now, or in serious relationships. I would love to meet a few sweet girls to hang out with. And if you play golf too, that would be even better. Hope to hear from you soon.]]>

<![CDATA[Just thought I would try this CL thing out. I'm very bored and stuck in the country. I am a 31 year old WM with lots of tattoos and a obsession with music. Most nights I'm up till 4 or 5a.m. and have no one to talk to. So if you cant sleep please send me message and give me something entertaining to do. I hope to hear from someone soon.]]>

<![CDATA[(EDIT: Just as a heads-up, I'm just now seeing that the images that uploaded WERE high-res, and for some reason, CL has slaughtered them and they look HORRIBLE, so I know it's really hard to see them, but I assure you, I have tons of pictures, so if you read this and are generally intrigued, write to me! And I promise, I'll send some much better quality pictures so you have a much better image of the person on the other end of the computer screen ;) ) So, I get it. The economy, we're in a bit of a depression at the moment, spending deficits and whatnot. Do you feel like the same deflation is bleeding into your social life? Perhaps this is what happens to everyone... We have tons of friends throughout school, and once it's over, the very close few stay with us, while we drift apart in the sea of adult life, until everyone we used to know is now just a faint acquaintance. I'm not sure what I'm looking for... Just a connection, another chance to correlate with someone, another shot at possibly founding a deep friendship that lasts, and not just until summer. The kind of friendship we dream of having, that special bond between two people that stay up all night and with one another, laying on the floor of a bedroom, or perhaps in a park beneath the stars, or just cruising down 40 (or whatever highway you prefer ;) ) confiding in one another. Taking solace in one another when times are bad, and rejoicing with one another when times are good. Sharing secrets, laughter, aggravations, passions, envies, fears, dreams. That person who will always be there for you when you need them, and even just when you want them. Someone who will defend you, even when you're wrong. That person you always have a good time with, whether you're just lying around listening to music, having a movie marathon on the couch, getting your co-op on in your video game of choice, wandering around downtown and seeing what new restaurants you'll find that day while exploring the science and art museums, dancing the night (perhaps very drunkenly) at the club, or whatever else you can imagine doing. Whew, I feel like I'm going on a tangent. Let me try and clarify, and perhaps give you a little bit more information about myself, specifically. The names Joshua. I'm a 21 year old male, and I'll spare the cut-and-paste physical description, and instead just include a few photos here. As corny and cliche' as it is, I'm going to have to use the hallmark phrase of these CL ads and say that I really am a down-to-earth, happy-go-lucky guy! Ugh... That was rough. But, nonetheless, true. I'm just a guy that loves to have fun. I'm quirky, collected, somewhat reserved, but very charismatic and compassionate. I'm not a boring person whatsoever, and pretty much one of the only few prerequisites that I'm looking for in the target group of this ad is someone that loves (and actively seeks) to have a great time! I know, I know, who doesn't love to have a great time? Are there people out there that hate to have a good time? It's a stupid phrase, but I feel it's the best that fits. I was a very normal kid growing up, went through school probably the same way most of you did. Lots of friends, a small circle of very close ones. However, once school was over, we began the drift. Most of my friends went to colleges and whatnot, while I shipped off for the army the day after I graduated. So, while I traveled all over the country as a young enlisted soldier, all my friends moved away, went to college or trade school, or went to start jobs, and we all just kind of... Went separate ways, I suppose. It's sad, but... We just aren't a part of one another's lives anymore. I still have a handful of very close friends, and through everything, we have stayed close, but... I think I'm just looking for something more. Just looking to connect with someone in an otherwise hard-to-meet-new-people kind of world. I'm very successful, I'm a nurse working at a local hospital, and yes, I know... I'm a male nurse. But, I love what I do, and wouldn't trade it for anything in the world. The whole story about how I got to be where I am is a long story, and one for another time, hopefully I can tell you the whole thing sometime! But, that being said, I feel like my life is very static right now. I sleep, I work, and I repeat. I make very good money (without trying to sound egotistical at all), but I feel like I don't really do much with it. On the weekends, I go out with my friends, and we have a good time, but I feel like I'm living my life from weekend to weekend. I don't do much during the week, and sometimes my friends aren't available on the weekends and whatnot, and... It's lonely. So, I know this was a HELL of a lot to read, so I'll wrap it up, but that's pretty much my abbreviated biography. I'm looking for a female friend, because I don't have too many of them, and have always just really wanted to have that one 'female best friend'. Lame? Maybe... But, if I don't reach out there and try, I'll never know if maybe, she was seeking too, and hoping to find the same thing I am... So, here goes nothing! If you're out there, and you're reading this, and you're thinking... Hey, why not? Please, take a chance! I promise, I'm perfectly sane, fun, chill, and might I add without sounding like a complete tool, graciously handsome! ; ] Haha, so, there it is. If any of this sounds interesting, please, say hello! I have a lot more to tell about myself, as I'm sure, even though the length of this ad could fill a small novel, there is still a lot needed to fill in the "Who am I?" blanks. For authenticity's sake (and to make sure you cared to read all of this!), if you email me, make the subject line 'Deepest Blue', so I can weed through the bots and whatnot ; ] Also, please include pics! I'd love to have a face with a name, as I am taking the initiative and adding some of myself here! Ok, this is REALLY the end. Thanks for reading, and I really hope to hear from you! (Remember: Deepest Blue ; ] ) - J]]>

<![CDATA[ Marriage 911 Repairing a Ruined Marriage | Blog Home She Yells, He Withdraws �I am so angry with him,� Sarah said, glowering at Kyle, her husband of 12 years. Visibly shaking, Sarah continued. �He won�t listen, so I scream and raise my voice. I can�t help it.� �Any then she expects me to listen?� Kyle said hotly. �I knew I was going to get beat up on, and that�s why I was really reluctant to come to one of your Marriage Intensives.� Sarah was crying now, holding her face in her hands. Lifting her head, Sarah continued. �I don�t want him to be afraid of me. I just want to make sure he hears how important this is to me. Things have got to change. I need to make him understand.� �Listen to her now, Doc,� Kyle said, leaning back in his chair. �Even sitting here, with you as a referee, she�s coming at me. Do you really expect me not to be afraid?� Kyle and Sarah had flown in the night before to the The Marriage Recovery Center as a �last ditch effort� to save their marriage. Both were understandably raw and wounded. Both harbored mounds of resentment, spewing venom at one another without restraint. �I don�t blame either one of you for your feelings,� I said. �But clearly this pattern of relating isn�t working, and like most couples, the process is the problem. Since that is what is wreaking havoc in your marriage, we�ve got to change the process. And we can!� �I don�t know how to do that,� Sarah said, still notably angry. �I�m still really upset and I know I push him away when I�m this mad. But, I can�t change it. I try to talk to him about anything, and he pushes away. He just won�t listen.� Sarah spent the next few minutes complaining about her husband�s lack of understanding about how she wanted him to treat their 7-year-old son. She felt that he was too harsh and wanted to make sure he understood and changed. �Sarah,� I said slowly, �do you think his detachment may have something to do with your approach?� �I know it does,� she said firmly. �I can be horrible at times. I�m ashamed of myself. But, I�m telling you, I can�t help it. He won�t listen to me, and I�ve got to make him hear me.� �Great way to make me hear you,� Kyle said sarcastically. �Folks,� I said. �We�ve got to agree on something. All three of us have to agree on something before we can go any further.� �What�s that?� Kyle said. �Well, you�ve got four options as far as I can see. Let�s consider what you want to do. But, I encourage you both to think through these four options extremely carefully.� �One, you work with me individually for a while to drain off some of your angry venom. This is a very reasonably approach, and once you�ve drained off some of your anger and hurt, you may be better able to sit with your mate and engage in therapy.� Both nodded and felt like this might be a good idea. Kyle noted that he thought Sarah needed individual work, and not surprisingly, Sarah felt like Kyle needed individual work. I saw this as simply more blaming of each other. �Two,� I continued, �we can create a time where you simply vent your anger and hurt at the other, while your mate develops a layer of Teflon so they don�t take everything you�re saying personally.� This is their chance to �therapeutically vent,� prior to moving into a more therapeutic level of communication. �He�s already got on five layers of Teflon,� Sarah said sarcastically. �I don�t want you spraying any more on him.� Kyle rolled his eyes as I called her on her sarcastic and biting words. She apologized. �Our third option,� I said, �is to try to continue with couple�s work, while you work very hard to put everything you say through Ephesians 4:29; Letting no unwholesome word proceed out of your mouth, except that which is fitting for building up others according to their need.� Both echoed the scripture with me, obviously having learned it before. �Finally,� I said, �you can continue to do things the way you�ve always done them. But, I doubt you�ve flown across the country to simply keep practicing techniques that destroy each other and your marriage.� �As you decide what you want to do,� I continued, pausing while looking at both of them overwhelmed with feelings of hurt, �let me remind you that you�re both hurting and want relief. You�re both stepping on each other�s air hose, and you�re both grabbing at each other, seeking relief. Consider seeing your mate as someone who wants relief, and consider seeing yourself as someone who can give that relief.� Sarah looked at Kyle for a few moments while dabbing at her tears, and then looked down. Kyle stroked his beard and continued looking at Sarah. �One more thing,� I added. �You can�t make the other person understand you. That kind of manipulation is easily seen by the other, and they will resent you for it. You can ask them to engage in a dialogue about issues, but you can�t push them to see things your way.� Looking at his wife, Kyle responded. �I guess we both have patterns that need changing,� Kyle said. �This isn�t easy, but I�m willing to �lean in� as Doc says. Will you go easy on me?� �Yes,� Sarah said softly. �I already see you trying, and that�s all I ask.� �So?� I asked. �What option are you taking? I�d like you to spend a couple of minutes deciding how you want to handle our time. Options one, two, and three are constructive. Option four is very destructive. I�d like you to talk about it.� I watched as they carried on a constructive conversation, discussing the pros and cons of each option. After about five minutes, they looked at me and announced their choice. �We both want some individual time with you while we vent our frustration. Then we want try to come back together and talk to each other with respect, not trying to manipulate the other into seeing things our way, or doing things the way we want them to do them.� Coercive communication�where we try to force our mate to subscribe to our view of the world�is a very destructive force in many marriages. Many have trouble understanding we can invite our mate to see our point of view, encouraging them to share with us, but we cannot force them to do so. We can share our feelings, but cannot push our opinions onto others. To opinionate our mate is to actually engage in a form of violence. Consider how you share with your mate. Reflect on how you approach hot topics�and every couple has them�and ask yourself whether you are approaching them with �an Ephesians 4:49 attitude�. Back off, invite conversation, and see if they don�t begin to feel safer, being more willing to engage in discussion about issues. Stop seeking to be right, and rather seek relationship. Many relationships can be saved if the warning signals are heeded. I�d love to hear about your success stories or areas of struggle. ]]>

<![CDATA[I looked over your way and you stared straight into my eyes for days, well actually only for a split second until you fixed your gaze elsewhere. Your eyes reached into me and made my heart scream for more and more. I begged and pleaded inside for you to look back as maybe you could pick up on my vibes in some esp way and notice me again, but you never did so I kept walking. I thought about you the rest of that day and here it is a week later that I'm still thinking of you. I ache for that split second of a moment back. It left me powerless and if you would have looked back at me when I begged you to I would have been under your control for life. In some weird way you already are since you never leave my mind. The only thing I ever have a regret in my life about is that I never walked over to you. So I'm hoping that fate will give me a second chance and I will get a response from you. ]]>

<![CDATA[Well, where do I start. How about with hello :) I have been married for sometime now and have been very unhappy with the way things have been going. I feel rejected, unappreciated and lonely. Somehow we are not right for each other and have been very incompatible as of late. We are currently separated but still in the same house till we can figure out what to do. I have two little girls that I love dearly and will always be a part of my life. I am looking for a good friend right now to share emails with and get to know. Between ages 25 - 38. Eventually I want more but not till my current situation is resolved. I want to love and be loved, I want someone who will appreciate me and not looking for perfection, as no one is perfect. I am attracted to Asian and White, like curves and thin to medium build. Must like kids and enjoy the same things do. I have a good job, a car and am currently trying to get my life back in order. I don't smoke, don't drink or do drugs. I am not after sex or one night stands, but I am looking for someone that will enjoy it when the time is right eventually and if we find that we have attraction to each other. I love the outdoors, fishing, sports, movies, art festivals, music, dancing, the beach. I also like spending time at home. I can cook some and love BBQ's. I am of average looks, not fat, but a little bulge in the midsection - working on it... Hispanic and tall. Like I said, I need a friend as I don't know many people here. ]]>

<![CDATA[Hey how's it going, just wanted to come on here to see if I could find someone that is interested in photography and hanging out. I�m fairly new to it, I do it as a hobby but I�m still learning. I'm taking a couple of photography classes but it would be nice to meet someone around my age to go out and shoot.

I'm also still fairly new in town...I guess. I moved here to the Raleigh area in January from Hawaii. I don't know too many people here and it would be nice to meet people that have similar interests as I. I am by no means some crazy guy. I'm a very chill guy just trying to meet new people. If you're interested then definitely hit me up. Hope you all are doing great. Take care. M]]>

<![CDATA[Hello Ladies, I am posting this ad in the "Strictly Platonic" section because I'm not looking for sex even though my request isn't exactly platonic either. But sex is just not something I'm looking for right now. But what I am looking for is a connection. I'm not really looking for anything long term I'm not ready for that. But I would like to have a nice evening with a beautiful and interesting young lady. We could start with dinner & drinks at nice social bar, talk and get to know each other a bit, have a few drinks then go home and snuggle all night and when we wake up I'll cook you pancakes before you go! haha Maybe I'm sick but I'm missing this girl who is no longer in my life and I miss what we shared. And I'm just looking for someone to basically fill those shoes for a night. I mean yeah, if your interesting enough and you feel the same about me, it could turn into more, but I'm just looking for a nice night out followed by snuggling & pancakes. It's what her and I use to do. And it was great... I can pretty easily go out and bring a girl home any Friday or Saturday night, but I'm not really looking for a girl who would go home with a random guy from a bar. Perhaps this is tmi but I recently took a girl home after meeting her in a bar and she got mad when I wouldn't sleep with her, and I'm not looking to repeat that scene. So my details: I'm smart, I'm tall, I'm funny, I'm (at least) decently good looking, I'm random and spontaneous, I like to cook but I'd rather eat, I LOVE movies and like pretty much any genre, I like to cuddle, I'm very protective of the things I value, I'm have character, charisma or swag (depending what you want to call it). My pool closes this weekend so if you want to chill by the pool before you go home, I'm cool with that just bring your suit.]]>

<![CDATA[GOOD DAY! I AM PLANNING FOR THE UPCOMING FRIDAY EVENING THRU SUNDAY. IT LOOKS LIKE THE HURRICANE MAY SPOIL THE BEACH TRIP LOCALLY, BUT THAT DOESN'T RULE OUT CHARLESTON, SC OR JUST CHILLING LOCALLY. HERE GOES.. FIRST, AT ANY RATE, I WOULD LOVE TO MEET A COOL, PROFESSIONAL GAL.... WHOM WE CAN TALK ABOUT ANYTHING, WITH NO ISSUES, DRAMA ATTACHED. SIMILAR TO BEING MY AROUND THE WAY GAL. SECONDLY ... YOU MUST ENJOY WATER, SNOW, BIKING, AND THE GOOD OUTDOORS. I AM IN/AROUND WATER YEAR ROUND... YES INCLUDING THE FALL/WINTER AS WELL, AND YES.. I AM A BLACK PROFESSIONAL MALE, SINGLE, CLEAN CUT, A LEADER VERSES BEING A FOLLOWER, NO ISSUES, NEVER/NO CRIMINAL-DRUG, ETC. I ENJOY SKI-N (WATER &SNOW) AND JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING IMAGINABLE. WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME... (I LOVE THE OUTDOORS. GOING TO THE MOIVES ALL THE TIME IS AS OLD AS MOSES COMING TO THE MAINLAND.) I DON'T FOLLOW THE EXCITEMENT OF CELLPHONES, AND ALWAYS CHECKING EMAIL... LIFE IS TOO SHORT. I LIKE TO RELAX IN GOOD COMPANY.. I DO HAVE A VERY VERY LARGE TV, BUT MAY ONLY WATCH IT WHEN THE FIREPLACE IS GOING STRONG 3-4 MONTHS OUT OF THE YEAR. SO YOU CAN SAY MY REMOTE - BATTERIES GO DEAD FROM NO USE. OKAY.. HERE'S THE CATCH... I LOVE PETITE GALS... NO SO MUCH INTO THE "THICK", BUT PETITE HAS IT HANDS DOWN. IF YOU CAN LAUGH AND NOT ALWAYS WORRING ABOUT THAT DAM SMART PHONE, BLACK BERRY, CHECKING EMAIL, TEXTING ALL THE TIME... THAT A PLUS. IF YOU HAVEN'T BEEN TO THE BEACH THIS YEAR MORE THAT 2-3 TIMES, CHANCES ARE WE WOULD CLASH. IF YOUR BATHING SUIT HAS EXPIRED, THEN WE WOULD CLASH. IF YOU ARE SQUEEZING INTO YOUR CLOTHES, TIRED ALL THE TIME, TATOO-LISIOUS, OR HAVE THE PERSONALITY OF A GOLDFISH... WE WILL CLASH. THIS IS NOT SPAM, NOR DO I WANT INBOX FULL OF IT. A HURRICANE IS OFF-SHORE. PLEASE RESPOND WITH A PHOTO (RECENT), AND 2 PARAGRAPHS OF YOUR LOCATION, LIKES, DISLIKES, AND WHAT YOU THINK IS WRONG WITH YOU, ALONG WITH A PHONE NUMBER STATING THE BEST TIME TO CALL. I WILL ATTEMPT TO CALL EVERYONE AS THE WEEKEND IS ALMOST HERE. I WOULD LOVE TO EXCHANGE GOOD CONVERSATION PRIOR TO THE END OF THE WEEK. PLEASE NOTE I AM OPEN TO ALL RACES..I HAVE AND CAN FEEL COMFORTABLE AROUND ANYONE AS LONG AS YOU ARE LADY-LIKE. I REALLY STRESS THE FACT OF LIKING TO GET WET. IF YOU WORRIED ABOUT GETTING YOUR HAIR WET, THEN LET'S NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MINE. THANKS FOR READING... AND THESE ARE JUST MY PREFERENCES. NO HARM INTENDED. IF YOU ARE MARRIED/ENGAGED.. YOU MAY HAVE A PROBLEM ]]>

<![CDATA[Hey all, Looking for a climbing partner to go regularly (2-3 times a week, evenings) to the UNC gym or maybe Vertical Edge. I'm flexible. I guess the UNC gym only has tr. If you lead, I'd make the trip to Vertical Edge or elsewhere if there's a better venue. I just moved here, so I'm not really familiar with the facilities. I'm 6', 165-170lbs. Been climbing about 5 years. I generally lead in the mid 5.11s in the gym. I'd also be interested in weekend trips to nearby outdoors. I have a moderate amount of experience leading trad outdoors in RRG and Yosemite. Hope to hear from someone soon! Even if you don't need a partner, I'd be happy for any tips on getting in touch with climbers around here.]]>

<![CDATA[High price of life got you down? Looking for extra money without any strings attached? Are you a woman with sexy feet? I'm looking for women in the Raleigh area who don't mind having their feet pampered. I have a foot fetish, and I love to get close to women's sexy feet. I love taking off a woman's shoes and getting close to her feet in either socks or hose. I enjoy kissing, smelling, and massaging those sexy female feet. I'm a generous guy who is looking to reward a woman handsomely for allowing me to get close to her feet. I'll be available evenings, and I'm not asking for sex. I just want to get close to those sexy feet of yours. Hope to hear from you. Once again, I am very generous. ]]>

<![CDATA[Coming to town on business for a week and hoping to see much more than the inside of my hotel room!

<![CDATA[So, long story short, I want to meet some cool gay guys. I'm not in a relationship, but wouldn't mind one. I guess what I'm after is not "strictly platonic" but nowhere close to the postings in "m4m" so I hope this doesn't get flagged. I'm new here, don't really know many people and trying to start a new life. Not really into the gay scene, clubs, etc. I'd consider myself pretty masc, not "out" at my new work, really just a regular joe. I just finished my Masters and moved into the Brier Creek area which I like because it's near Raleigh and Durham which is where I work. I know it's cliche but I really am into things outdoors like hiking, camping, being in the water, etc. I'm 26, white, 5'9", 155, in pretty good shape b/c I try to stay active. Are you looking for a new friend or looking to bring one into your "circle of friends"? Better yet looking to go on a date with a fun, no drama guy? If so, drop me a line, I need some fun back in my life. Have a nice day!!!]]>

<![CDATA[n a society contaminated with isolation and emotional detachment, there's a chance you might be one of them, getting ugly with a desire for basic contact and sincere conversation. Hear ye I?m pimpin myself for minimal physical contact with femmes, we can hold hands, lay in each other?s arms ---but, I?m the "here" guy, -a good listener, offer any advice if it?s requested, support your crazier aspirations, cook dinner with you or anything that you like doing, to recognize you. I do not care at all what you look like, all women are beautiful if they?re nice people. People shouldn?t go unnappreciated for too long regardless of the reason --humans (vs. zoo creatures) have the potential to develop a lot of doubt about themselves, maybe you?re here because you feel this doubt, or maybe you know someone who is too lonely for their own good, you might want to send them ze Fat Cat.. I?m an acceptable figure of a male -see photo, that's me- enlarged to show texture though I'm only 5?5?, an athletic smoker, 28 yrs old, educated, lived in Buddhist monasteries for the first 6 years of my 20?s so i have a hint of insight, drug free, rad guitar player, prescribe humor for oppression, bearded, vegetarian, and have way too many stories. Good deal on pauper's roll-back here you pay $30 an hour depending on what we do of course. Email me with either Betsy or Iris in the headline :) and I?ll reply with my number. Despite this post, I?m really not a narcissist, I'm just broke. ]]>

<![CDATA[This is stictly for friendship. I am happily married for 22 years. I just need some women friends. I am 60 lbs overweight and really depressed about it. I need a non judgemental friend to encourage me and get me to the gym. My life is falling apart and I have to do something for me. My husband just lost his father and his job and is very overwhelmed and depressed. My daughter just left for college, and my son has demanding special needs. I cannot take care of everyone until I take care of myself. I have never posted anything like this in my life, but I am lonely. Church friends have been too judgemental and tell me I could handle all this better if I had more Faith. And my son keeps us from attending regularly so we aren't considered real members. I don't know where else to turn. I just need a friend to be active with. I cannot stand this lazy sad house anymore. My husband and I bought a gym membership at clubworx in Fuquay and he has promised me we will go for 5 months now. I can't wait any longer. If you are over weight (or not - if you are understanding) and also need a friend to work out with, or walk, bike... I would like to meet you. It would be great if you had a membership at clubworx already or able to buy one. A group would be fun. Hopefully there are some women out there who understand. We have no family, and friends have pushed us aside with all our problems lately. I am very lonely and I do not want to add to my husbands worries. I want to be stronger for him as he deals with a lot of losses right now. My husband and family need me and I know exercise will make me stronger. Is there anyone interested? If exercise is not your thing, but you also need a friend, let's talk.]]>

<![CDATA[I am married and I have gotten to the point where I just really need someone. Obviously things at home are not great. I do not know exactly what I want or what I am looking for, but someone to talk to and someone in a similar situation would be a great start... I live and work in brier creek. I am attractive, 5'11, good body, fun, outgoing. Hope to talk to someone who understands...age does not really matter to me. Discression is important. A pic would be nice to make sure you are real. I have pics I am willing to send as well. Thanks. ]]>

<![CDATA[I have been in a long and committed relationship and not going to change that and looking for someone that feels the same. I am looking to add romance to your life as you to mine. I'm a very passionate and told that I am handsome however you will have to be the judge of that. I am willing to have all std and hiv test if we connect and are on the same page. I do not have tattoo's or body piercings and non smoker as well. I am not into drama and don't have time for it either. I am a professional, mature, own my business,house,cars so I'm not looking for someone to take care of me. I am looking for a mature lady hwp that is looking for the same. I'm not looking to jump into the sack right away. I like taking things slow and getting to know each other and let things happen when they happen. I love kissing and hope you do also. Lets be each others best kept secret and enjoy wonderful times together. Discret assured. If interested email and we will go from there.]]>

<![CDATA[ i am a 20 something year old black man (my own car, decent job, my own apartment ,etc) who is having a hard time getting a woman. Thats as honest as i can get in one sentence. i have had several women tell me "youre a cool guy, i love to be around you, but there is no spark" So now that im in the friends zone (again), i might as well ask them about their ex-boyfriends, and all of those women that told me "there's no spark" all have one thing in common, they've all had shi**y ex-boyfriends AND a couple of them still talk to them. i'm really convinced that young women (20s and 30s) will choose guys based off of a few things, well really about three things 1. his status (money, power, can he beat up other guys etc.,) 2. do other girls want him? 3. is he the type of man that i need to change in order to treat me better? i have NEVER seen a man struggle to get a girl if he has attribute numbers 2 and 3 lol there are a sh*t load of good men out here who feel my pain lol there are two questions that will never really be answered though: 1. why are so many (not all but a lot!) young women attracted to assholes? 2. and why do those women deny it? (as if him turning out to be a jerk was pure coincidence) i've never been married, i have no kids (so my only preference is a woman with no kids), i've never cheated on any girl i was with, i'm good looking (i can send a pic lol), i'm not a pushover, i'm not rich, i'm very affectionate and i'm a good listener. if there's no spark, i can understand that, i've dated women who i've had no spark with, but what i don't understand is that how come these assholes who don't know how to treat women never have to worry about the spark not being there? this is what i'm about and what i have to offer so take it or leave it 1. love 2. respect 3. trustworthiness 4. good treatment 5. ambitious (i'm trying to be a millionaire someday lol) i'm really hurting here, because it sucks when you do everything right and you're treated like "ok, you're the type of man i can definitely do without" any response would be cool! i hope to get a least one lol ]]>

<![CDATA[Hello and thanks for reading my post. As the ad says, I am a MWM, but I am currently separated. I am just looking for someone to chat with, email, maybe even meet for lunch etc. It would just be nice to look forward to opening up my email and answering my phone or even looking forward to meeting someone for lunch or a movie. It would be nice just to have someone to vent with or dream with also. I would definitely appreciate the excitement of someting new. Once again, thanks for reading and I hope to hear from you. ]]>

<![CDATA[I did it! I registered for a half marathon in Ocean Isle in January and now I need to start training. Looking for someone to run outdoors with (tobacco trail, umstead - I'm open). Beginners are okay. I used to run but have been out of it for almost 2 years so I'm basically starting from scratch myself. I work full-time so it would either be early evenings or mornings during the week but weekends are pretty open. I am married with 2 kids and have an easy going personality. Drop me an email and let's start running!]]>

<![CDATA[It's Monday again, let's keep each other entertained this week! Hit me up! I have pics if you do]]>

<![CDATA[Hi potential girlfriends(hang out buddies), I'm an African-American Straight single female(no children); I desire single friends from all races as long as we have interests in common. I've lived in Raleigh for approx 4 years and I don't have any single(prefer with no small children) good buddies to hang out with(I know it will be rare to find a friend in their 30's with no children so I'm flexible for the age range to include friends in the mid-late 20's; I don't mean for wild parties/clubbing, heavy drinking or the like but good fun in balance. I like to eat out, shop at Goodwill, Recreation(parks). I'm willing to go to a club to if it's very decent and for ages 25 & up or 30 something & up. I don't drink because of medication but don't mind if you drink some. I like to go to malls to for fun(mainly when stores I like are having good sells-like 50% off or more, you know exactly what I mean). I'm a very youthful 37yr old. I like to read also books on self-improvement, etc. I like to do brisk walking/jogging; I like to eat mostly healthy, a good amount of the time, but I'm flexible with it and of course I like to laugh at a good decent joke or anything funny in general but preferably not at anyone's expense. If you're looking for a friend who's a professional(extensive formal education) that's not me but I am intelligent but also can be dingy alot of times,Lol. FYI, there's an African-American Cultural Festival going on this coming weekend Downtown on the 4th & 5th(Saturday& Sunday); will be nice to have someone to go with. Currently I take the bus just about everywhere I go; I'm sincerely not looking for a friend just to drive me around. Most of the time, I don't mind taking the bus depending on what kind of passengers are riding; I don't think it's always good just to drive everywhere; you get lots more exercise when you bus it to different locations(It can be fun if you make it fun). If you have much similar interests please email me; hopefully talk to you soon!!! When you respond, please include some details about yourself or I may not respond; I want to know what or who I'm responding to! Also put Kind & Fun Hang Out Buddy in the Subject Line!!! ]]>

<![CDATA[�Sometimes you put walls up not to keep people out, but to see who cares enough to break them down.� I'm going through a lot of changes in life at the moment and just need a good friend around I guess. Not interested in anything more please... ONLY friends, really.]]>

<![CDATA[So, I'm posting an ad here because I'm running real short on friends these days. I'm not feeling so great, fighting depression, feeling alone, kinda sitting in a dark hole somewhere without any idea how to get out, but knowing I've been here so long it's starting to drive me out of my mind. I would really love to have someone to talk to. I'm not picky at all, if you'll take the time to write then I'll write back pretty much guaranteed. I would prefer a friend who had a lot of time on their hands, maybe a student with a light class load or someone who's unemployed, or works on their computer all day long and has time to write emails at all different hours. Someone else who has issues with depression or is in a place of heightened distress would be another plus, since it might be easier for us to relate. But anyway, if there's anybody out there who'll listen and feels like talking, let me know.]]>

<![CDATA[I know all men eatin at cheatin say that they are separated, but are really just looking for a quick, hot piece of ass. Not me. No way. Since I had to wait an entire year for my divorce in nearly abstinence, I decided to save myself for for my next wife. You got it! I'm a born again virgin. If you can't respect my beliefs in this area move on! I am looking for that special woman to carry over the threshold and make pancakes with little happy faces in them. If this sounds like something your interested in please reply. I'm waiting for you.]]>
