Online or in real life?


Online obviously, I doubt one could find someone meeting those standards so quickly otherwise. The internet is so amazing for that ability, apparently. :P

Damn, 7 for 8...

guess which one I don't make the cut on...


I am gonna take a shot in the dark here is it both 7 and 8?

I was going to post that if the OP didn't say non-online thing; she might be interested in you Toad. I think you understand people with disabilities & issues Toad or would if you had more experiences with people like that. As for #8; I think you might could get into it if you were together after a while & felt comfortable withe her


Nope it's #6. I dont drink, smoke, or do any other kind of drug outside of caffeine (so check off 1 and 2). I can do at the very least 2d computer graphics (and did an art show of such in 2010 selling $800 worth of art) and have some experience in game programming (though not much). I'm generally nice and clean (I feel icky myself if I don't shower every day. I do swear on occasion, but I make a point to never be mean to other people (if anything i swear at myself most of the time). I don't share as many hobbies, but I do make computer graphics and some music on the computer as well. I definitely understand people with disabilities and other issues, being someone who has issues myself and a brother who's decidedly LFA. And I don't mind being flirty once i'm comfortable with the girl in question either.

The only place I fail on that list is that I'm a total fatass...

Wow, 3 or 4 (more or less) people here share common likes and dislikes with me. I didn't know my topic was going to be so popular. Zinnel and Hero seem to be the closest matching people on my likes and dislikes list, but Zinnel and I have been chatting for a while, trying to get to know each other, and he is the only one right now that seems like "the perfect guy" for me, since he and I PM together so much. He seems like he actually can relate to me most. Sadly, it's online only, so even though I wish to meet him someday, I don't think that will happen. We live too far apart, but I see him as a very respecting and nice person. He sounds so poetic sometimes, and I wonder where he gets the poetic phrases he says to me. Maybe he is a poet and he didn't even know it.

I'd give one of my limbs to have the luxury of having standards that are that specific

Okay, maybe my list was actually too detailed, so I'll try to make it shorter:

Likes:
1. a non-smoker guy.

2. a guy who doesn't abuse drugs and/or alcohol.

3. a guy who can do computer
graphics (2d and/or 3d) and/or
game programming.

4. a guy who is nice, and clean
(both physically, and verbally).

Dislikes:
1. a guy who has dogs. (I have cats and prefer them over messy dogs that you must walk with every day).

2. a mean guy (swearing badly, hurting others/me, abusing in any other ways, having more than one relationship at once).

Note - I hope this puts any guy at a more relaxed state of mind, with my list being about half of what it was originally. Maybe my standards were too high for a guy that could somday be my boyfriend. I tried to narrow down my list to things I like most about guys, and I those list items I put together are also mostly things that I do to. For example, I do 3d and 2d computer graphics, and I don't smoke and I don't do bad drugs/drink alcohol. I am also trying to learn extremely basic programming (I like Dark Basic Pro, and it's from The Game Creators website). I don't have dogs, because they require more care than cats in my opinion, so I have cats, which I love. If I had the money, I would buy a scottish fold cat, or a mixed breed of some sort, with some scottish fold genes. I love how they look, and those cats are the true "puss in boots" kind of cat. The two cats I have are both very nice to me and my family. They are both mixed breeds. One of them cuddles with me on my bed when I sleep, and on my lap when I use my computer.

Well, I can't stand it when people smoke around me, even if it's outside. Then, if someone were to come into my family's house, smelling badly of smoke, I would not want to go anywhere near the person who smokes, and I most definately wouldn't want to kiss them then. As I saw once on a street billboard sign, "Kissing a smoker is like licking an ash tray."

I guess I'll have a go at this:

1. I am a non-smoker.

2. I don't drink alcohol nor do drugs.

3. Do not know how to do both but do have an interest in them.

4. Very clean on the physical side (I know how to dress) and most of the time I am clean when I talk although I do talk dirty/swear sometimes in a funny matter.

5. I don't have dogs at all although I do love dogs but I don't think I could ever have one, just don't have an interest in looking after one.

6. Never mean to people.

You mean computer graphics, right?
Try reading articles, books, and even searching YouTube for any tutorials for basics on the software of choice (2d or 3d or both). I used all those methods in the past, and I still do, in order to self-teach myself 3d and 2d computer graphics. Some 2d and some 3d software too are free, but some are really expensive. You may want to search for free 3d software, and/or free 2d software. Two favorite sources for tutorials/answers/information on almost anything which I find usefull are the following websites:
ehow
and
Yahoo Answers

For programming, I still am learning basic level basic programming using Dark Basic Pro, since most of the commands are so straight forward. I would think you could grasp a basic programming language like Dark Basic Pro, if you tried to learn about it. I am almost positive that I couldn't start with Object Oriented Programming (OOP) languages, like C++, or even Visual Basic, because those seem way over the top, and way over my head to me.

I hope I helped you.

Thanks but its kinda odd that your addressing one part of my post, is someone who does not have the skills to do computer/game programming that huge of a deal to you? :S

Just curious since out of all the positives I have give out, you choose a negative.

Haha XD Sorry for a minute there I thought you was being a dickhead to me for no apparent reason anyway so I got to meet the 100%? Sheesh that's quite a lot to ask from a guy to be 100% :S
