M1: Happy Thanksgiving, male in gville 23 want to chat for a few mins now

SwankiVY2: Umm, okay.

M1: you in gville now?

M1: age?

SwankiVY2: Yes, I'm in Gainesville now. I'm 24.

M1: boyfriend?

M1: HAPPY THANKSGIVING

SwankiVY2: Er, thanks.

M1: want to trade honest descriptions

SwankiVY2: No, I don't have a boyfriend. But if I did, does that have anything to do with anything?

SwankiVY2: Honest descriptions?

M1: i guess not

SwankiVY2: What sort of honest descriptions?

M1: 6 foot 1 200 workout short brown hair blue eyes all over tan, athletic sound appealing

M1: you?

SwankiVY2: er, I'm an intellectual girl who likes reading, writing novels, drawing, and making Web pages.

M1: cool

SwankiVY2: That's my description, I don't tend to think physical descriptions are something that usually go in an introduction.

M1: i am a financial planner who enjoys the stock market, traveling working out

SwankiVY2: It's a rather strange way to start a conversation if you know what I mean.

M1: i guess your right

SwankiVY2: But there are plenty of pictures of me online for the curious.

M1: so does your family live in gville

SwankiVY2: Nope.

SwankiVY2: I went to college here

SwankiVY2: and decided to stay

M1: cool

M1: what do you do now

SwankiVY2: I just work in a bookstore.

SwankiVY2: I decided not to use my degree, I got one in education

SwankiVY2: But I don't really want to teach brats for my life.

M1: lol

M1: did you at least like my description?

SwankiVY2: Ummm . . . I'm not sure what to say about it

SwankiVY2: It's your description, I really don't care how people look

SwankiVY2: especially not for purposes of a conversation

SwankiVY2: But since you asked my age, my looks, and whether I have a boyfriend, I'd assume this is moving in *that* sort of direction rather than "just" a conversation.

M1: do you not like that idea

SwankiVY2: Not particularly . . . I'm not one for starting any kind of conversation with some sort of expectation

SwankiVY2: I've always thought the mating dance was silly.

SwankiVY2: But as far as asking for descriptions goes, I know that people get curious about what the people look like that they're talking to

M1: is that a bad thing

SwankiVY2: Is *what* a bad thing?

M1: to be curious about what you look like

SwankiVY2: Not really

SwankiVY2: Do you want to see?

M1: sure

M1: you going to send a pic

SwankiVY2: [sent him this picture] <~~ see if that link works

M1: it worked you are very cute

SwankiVY2: Thanks.

M1: height? weight?

SwankiVY2: About 4'11", quite short . . . about 110 pounds

SwankiVY2: Not sure, haven't weighed myself lately

M1: best body feature?

M1: mine is chest and arms

SwankiVY2: Er

SwankiVY2: I never really thought about it.

SwankiVY2: I get a fair amount of compliments on my hair, I guess.

SwankiVY2: 'Cause it's long

M1: i mean out of legs, but, abs, and chest

M1: you have a cam at your house right

SwankiVY2: Are you filling out some kind of database about me or something? LOL! Come on, why would I be rating my body parts?

SwankiVY2: I don't have a "cam," no.

M1: who took all those pics

SwankiVY2: Different people

SwankiVY2: I've got over 600 pictures on my site

SwankiVY2: Most of them are vacation albums

SwankiVY2: A good portion of them were taken by my friend Fred because he is quite camera-happy

M1: do you have any that show off your body

SwankiVY2: Ummm . . . I guess.

M1: what are you wearing in it

SwankiVY2: I dunno

SwankiVY2: I have various pictures of me in dresses or bathing suits

SwankiVY2: Like when my friends and I went to the beach

SwankiVY2: Though I can't quite figure out what has you so curious about the body of some random chick you're talking to online

M1: will you send me a link of you in a bathing suit

M1: you want me to be honest

SwankiVY2: Why not

M1: are you looking?

SwankiVY2: Yeah, just trying to see if there's one around here

M1: will you show me the one that shows the most of your body

SwankiVY2: Umm, there isn't really a good one of that.

SwankiVY2: You can see my sundress picture.

SwankiVY2: [sent him this picture]

M1: does it show off your body

SwankiVY2: If you don't curb your obsession with my body pretty soon, I may get too bored to appease you.

M1: what else do you want to talk about

M1: you have a good body

SwankiVY2: Well, you started the conversation, what did you hope to talk about when you started it?

M1: im sorry you think i am obsessing with it

SwankiVY2: Heh, well what else am I supposed to think when you just keep asking me for pictures that show it off? Heh

M1: your body, and sex, and possibly meeting

SwankiVY2: I don't like sex.

M1: do you masterbate?

SwankiVY2: "Hi. How old are you. Do you have a boyfriend. What do you look like. Let's talk about sex. Do you masturbate." This is a fine conversation.

M1: do you want me to let you go?

SwankiVY2: Talks that start like this just seriously are not my bag.

M1: why dont you like sex

SwankiVY2: Because I just never had an interest in it.

M1: have you ever had it

SwankiVY2: Nah. I've had more offers than I wish to count, but I've never taken anyone up on it. I had a boyfriend once with whom I tried some minor things for the sake of argument, but I didn't like them.

M1: sorry to hear that

SwankiVY2: Well, I'm perfectly happy, but the guys who keep offering aren't.

M1: i love having sex like everyday

SwankiVY2: They're convinced trying to talk me into sex will save me or open my eyes, or they think I just don't like it 'cause I haven't had THEM, like they're some god . . . I just don't care for it all.

SwankiVY2: It's like some silly game that I never had enough hormones to be interested in.

M1: wow

M1: are you planning on having sex with your husband

SwankiVY2: I'm not interested in getting married.

M1: oh

M1: you ever had anyone give you oral sex

SwankiVY2: I'm not interested in having anyone get that close to my privates, thanks.

M1: ok

M1: do you ever get that close to your privates

SwankiVY2: I'm not interested in sex, see. It's not like I'm abstaining from sex even though I want it.

M1: i guess you would not want too

M1: do you think it is gross when people do

SwankiVY2: No, I don't have anything against sex, as long as they leave me out of it.

M1: so you would not help me jack off?

SwankiVY2: In fact I think that it's shitty for people to insist you have to be married to have sex, and I hate it when people get pissed off when people want to have weird sex or gay sex or whatever

SwankiVY2: But I think that you can jack off by yourself without any help from me.

M1: would you help if I asked yu too

SwankiVY2: No, I wouldn't.

SwankiVY2: I also fail to see how I could possibly help you if I'm not interested in the game.

M1: ok

M1: you could talk to me on the phone while I do it

SwankiVY2: I really don't think so.

SwankiVY2: You didn't notice it up there where I said I'm fine with what people want to do as long as they leave me out of it?

M1: that turns me on when someone listens

M1: ok im sorry for asking i guess

M1: im sorry

M1: bye i guess

SwankiVY2: Have fun.

[And then, I came up in the guy's search again. I didn't happen to remember his name, until something about his approach struck me as familiar. . . .]

M1: Male 23 in gville with pics, do you have a few mins to chat? are you there?

SwankiVY2: I have a few minutes to chat, but you probably won't like talking to me.

M1: why do you say that

M1: age?

SwankiVY2: Because I'm not particularly nice to people who open conversations with me by announcing that they have pictures

M1: thats cool I will try you

M1: age?

SwankiVY2: It insinuates to me that what a person looks like is important before talking even starts.

M1: boyfriend

M1: well you should not think about it like that

SwankiVY2: I also am not very nice to people who open conversations with me by asking questions about my age and marital status.

M1: you should just think that a pic is a good starting point to a conversation

SwankiVY2: I don't think it is.

M1: then you can find out about someone after that

SwankiVY2: A conversation should stand on its own without a "pic."

M1: your right

SwankiVY2: But most guys don't understand that

M1: im not disagreeing

SwankiVY2: They wanna know a) are you cute, b) are you available, c) do you want to have a date. Before they even know who you are.

M1: but you have to agree that it is nice to see what the person looks like that you are talking too

SwankiVY2: I've never cared much about appearances. Mostly because I don't talk to people hoping to date them.

SwankiVY2: Usually when people who want to talk to me find that out, they assume I'm just a nerd, or ugly, or a host of other lame things

M1: your right that said would you like to see my pic

SwankiVY2: Er, no I wouldn't.

M1: I bet you are quite attractive, and definently smart, and most of all I believe you are witty and self reliant

M1: thats all good

SwankiVY2: Thanks.

SwankiVY2: I just don't think myself too interesting to certain types--and those certain types usually start conversations just like you did.

M1: what are you majoring in

SwankiVY2: I try not to assume, but it is hard when most times I'm proved right.

M1: that is how I start a conversation on here

M1: in person I would start it 100 different ways

SwankiVY2: Yeah.

SwankiVY2: It's easier to start a conversation in person.

M1: I am a financial planner who is attractive, and has money so I have a couple different angles, I also love sports, love church, love to just chat, and vacations, roadtrips, and having fun

SwankiVY2: Oh, that's a problem, I hate having fun.

SwankiVY2: Hahah

M1: lol
see you do have a sense of humor?

SwankiVY2: Of course

M1: so do you have a pic?

M1: do you go to school

M1: age?

SwankiVY2: I figured it was pointless to keep going to school once I graduated. :)

M1: lol

M1: do you live in gville now

M1: I graduated in may 01

SwankiVY2: And I'd appreciate it if the conversation led AWAY from the "pic" question, since I kind of told you my opinion on it.

SwankiVY2: I graduated in summer 2000. I'm 25.

SwankiVY2: And yes, I live in Gainesville still.

M1: cool

M1: what do you do?

M1: boyfriend?

M1: i wont ask about the pic anymore, but I would like to at least know if you have a boyfriend

SwankiVY2: I don't have a boyfriend. But I hate being asked that. Because people who care usually have a certain kind of relationship already in mind before I've even opened my mouth.

SwankiVY2: I work at a bookstore and I'm an editor.

M1: cool

SwankiVY2: And a writer, but I haven't ever been paid for that.

M1: the industry with the big bucks huh

M1: what hs did you go too

SwankiVY2: oh baby.

M1: i went to buchholz

SwankiVY2: I didn't go to high school in this town.

SwankiVY2: I went to high school in Tampa.

M1: cool

M1: roomates?

SwankiVY2: What, now? No, I live by myself, like it that way.

M1: cool

M1: what part of gville

SwankiVY2: near Florida Bookstore Vol 2

M1: cool

M1: where is that at

M1: im not real familiar with the bookdstores

M1: is that on 34th

SwankiVY2: yep

M1: cool i used to live right by there in museum walk

M1: so do you work everyday

SwankiVY2: Five days a week.

M1: cool me too

SwankiVY2: It's not a great job but it pays the bills.

M1: so what do you do for fun

SwankiVY2: Lots of things

M1: since you have no pic will you trade honest descriptions with me

M1: do you like to go out ?

M1: do you drink? do you smoke?

SwankiVY2: One of my favorite things to do is writ

SwankiVY2: write*

M1: nice

M1: I hate doing that

SwankiVY2: I don't drink or smoke and I don't usually "go out" except occasionally I will go to a bar if it is a karaoke bar.

SwankiVY2: I also love to sing.

M1: cool

SwankiVY2: I like to read and write and draw

M1: nice

SwankiVY2: And make websites

M1: cool

M1: you should get a job making web pages they get paid decent

SwankiVY2: I wasn't willing to learn extra programming languages like JavaScript or Perl

SwankiVY2: I only know HTML and don't really think I could be a programmer

SwankiVY2: I have a degree in education but decided not to be a teacher.

SwankiVY2: What did you get a degree in?

M1: finance

SwankiVY2: Stunning.

M1: so will you tell me what you look like

SwankiVY2: I'm 4'11" with blonde hair down to my butt.

SwankiVY2: I weigh about 110.

M1: trade honest descriptions

M1: are you really only 4 foot 11

SwankiVY2: Yes.

SwankiVY2: Pretty tiny.

SwankiVY2: At work they call me the pixy.

M1: I am 6 foot 1 190

SwankiVY2: Shorter than my last boyfriend. :)

M1: workout have short brown hair blue eyes all over tan, athletic sound appealing

SwankiVY2: My last boyfriend was about seven years ago. Thank God.

SwankiVY2: Your description sounds like your description. I don't really have a way to say if that is "appealing."

SwankiVY2: And . . . I *do* have pictures. Lots in fact. But I don't often share them with people who ask for them first thing.

M1: are you bisexual?

SwankiVY2: No.

M1: what type of guys do you like

SwankiVY2: I don't.

M1: do you have a digital camera?

SwankiVY2: I'm not interested in dating.

M1: you don't like guys ta all

SwankiVY2: I just don't like anyone.

SwankiVY2: The whole concept of dating, sex, and relationships just aren't interesting to me

SwankiVY2: I don't have a digital cam, nope

SwankiVY2: I do, however, have a camera-happy friend.

M1: will you trade pics with me

SwankiVY2: I have a link if you'd like.

M1: do you have a good body I know you are petite, but are you curvy too

M1: sure that would be great

M1: im very curious

SwankiVY2: You can judge for yourself if I have a good body, I suppose

M1: ok

M1: thank you

M1: do you have any pics that show off your body

SwankiVY2: Hmmm. . . .

SwankiVY2: that line just reminded me of something

SwankiVY2: and then I realized . . . holy crap, I've talked to you before.

M1: what

M1: when

SwankiVY2: Ummmm. . . .

M1: are you going to show me your link?

SwankiVY2: Thanksgiving, around.

M1: does that mean you are not going to talk to me this time

SwankiVY2: Heh . . . if the last conversation we had is any indication, I'm not sure if we should continue. That last one was abysmal. I wonder if you were drunk at the time or something?

M1: prob

M1: what did I say to you

M1: are you not going to show me your link

SwankiVY2: Hmm . . . you said the honest descriptions thing.

M1: does that mean this one is going to be bad?

SwankiVY2: Oh, it's already pretty goofy

SwankiVY2: Here. Here's a picture of me: [sent him this picture]

M1: oh yeah I remember you now

SwankiVY2: hehe.

M1: you do have a good body

M1: can I see one of the other ones that shows it off better

SwankiVY2: Er, I don't think so.

M1: ok I will let you go since you have these predisposed feelings

SwankiVY2: Predisposed?

SwankiVY2: Can you please tell me what I'm supposed to think if some guy IMs me and the ENTIRE conversation is nothing but "send me a pic. what do you look like. do you have a boyfriend."

SwankiVY2: I mean, I made it pretty clear up front that conversations that start that way aren't my bag. You kept going, and so I can't say it surprises me that you fulfilled some of my expectations.

M1: ok I won't wate anymore of your time

SwankiVY2: Maybe until the next time I show up in your search. ;)

SwankiVY2: Uhm, have fun. . . .

SwankiVY2: Nice meeting you.

M1: yo too

D.: Hey. Not so much a comment or reply as a if you want to talk to a guy who doesn't care about sex or physical descriptions or things like that, and just wants to talk about writing or normal stuff in general. Since it seems we are hard to find. :P If you do, email me, and you can have my IM. I won't bother you otherwise. Peace! And hope too many more guys don't proposition you. (which they probably will). Cuase there's more to life than sex! :)
