So, um, how old is Chris? Is he willing to relocate? Does he like dogs? What about Buffy? Does he like Buffy? Does he like blondes? Because, you know, I can change that. I can do a redhead. Or a brunette. Everyone loved me as a brunette.

i hope he likes tall girls, 'cause i just forwarded his little resume to a very cool, very single girlfriend of mine (my only remaining friend, if anyone's keeping track).

too bad there was no chris photo.

So this little yummy dumplin' face is single? I'm not believin' it. It's too...it's too late-ninties, teeny-bopper, "So Kiss Me" playin' in the background, silly film-ish. He's too boyish. Too sweet, understanding and cuddly. Can I have him for a weekend? I write really long, complicated sentences and have all my original teeth. I don't like pina coladas, but I do like getting caught in the rain. Makin' love at midnight's pretty fab, and lemme tell you - the taste of champagne? Woo-ee. Oh, and I have horrible '70s songs flashbacks.

Don't tell my boyfriend.

Nummy yummy Delish.

This Chris guy sounds soooo like my best boy friend. Here's a tip for ya Chris! If you know her and she's your 'friend' and you like her... TELL HER! Before she gets married and realizes she's been in love with you all this time! Nice guys need to spell it out for some of us not-too-swift nice gals. As for those girls in "the running", SPRINT, I tell you! This one sounds too great to pass up!

Chris made me laugh out loud at work. I like that in a man's writing. And hey, I live in Austin.

I'm really enjoying this Cute Single Boy of the Week feature, even if they all fall for other women. It gives me hope that Austin still has single men out there... somewhere... and single men who can write well, too. Although I wouldn't mind a Single Older Man one week, either. Sometimes your readers make me feel very old, Pamie.

-- Anonymous, April 04, 2000

Oh, man, where was this regular feature when I was single and needed to meet eligible women in Austin!?! Pamie, if I end up single any time soon, I'm coming at you with a crisp $50 bill to get in on this thing. Oh, and if that does happen, none of you lovely ladies read that last sentence.

i don't get this. i carry on scribbling in my not-very-popular journal for months and still get nothing. this guy gets in pamie for one day and he's got offers from all over the place. it's SO who ya know and not what you know :(

I only get to see the SO on weekends so it'd work out perfectly! And I'm not married.. soo...

All I have to say is "GO CHRIS" Heck, that's me in a nutshell as well. I thought I was the only guy out there like this. Hey, if Chris is getting this much run here, I have some hope. As for whoever said go after the girl "friend" before she gets hitched.... some of us don't do that well. You can't destroy some friendships because you love that lady so much. But that's just me I guess. Tata!

So Pamie, are you taking applications for this coveted "Cute Single Boy of the Week" thing or what? I think you might crash the entire Internet with everyone flocking to be included.

[And Happy Birthday Week, while I'm at it. Happy Anniversary too.]

[Note: the aforementioned good wishes should be interpreted solely as sincere hopes that Pamie has a Happy Birthday Week and a Happy Anniversary, and should not be read as a blatant kiss-up should any future "Cute Single Boy of the Week" slots become available.]

Where were all these cool single guys when I was single?? You know - I *had* a really cool single actress roommate all ready to meet Trejo buuuuut - he didn't show up to my birthday party - what's up with that?

Hi Chris.

I live in San Antonio, and I was wondering how you feel about swinging? I currently have a boyfriend/husband/lover, but things have started to get a little stale and we're both looking to move on to bigger and better things. We agreed years ago that when watching each other get off with multiple partners stopped doing it for us, then it was time to move on.

I love to cuttle, especially after four or five different men have brought me to orgasm. It would be so special to have a real man for a change, one who would stay after. Don't get me wrong, I like swingers. But I have a career too (I'm a dancer/model/actress). I so understand what you mean about getting into bed late and wishing there was someone nearby to talk to, to share your fears, anxieties, hopes, etc. with.

That's so cool about your master's degree in history. I love history. There are too few people in the world with Master's Degrees in history. After all, if you don't know what history is, you're destined to find out what it is.

Anyway, blah, blah, blah. I really do love your site Pamie. Especially when you make so hot guys available!! Is this a new thing with the Cute Boy of the Week? I hope so!

When she says swinging, she means like at a batting cage, right? With a baseball bat? Or did she mean like George of the Jungle swinging with vines and ropes and stuff?

Confused,
Omar

I got news for all the girls/ladies/women (whatever you choose to call yourself) here...

There are guys like Chris everywhere. It's just that if the guy doesn't look like a fun date, he's left at home every Saturday night while you go out with Mr. Musc L. E. Bound or Mr. Rich von Bigmoney III.

Believe me; I know. I live this life too.

-- Anonymous, April 05, 2000

plan,

The ladies know this. They don't really want to do all the things they say they do here. They just need to gush over someone. It's like that daughter of your friend who's always holding her hands up to be picked up by you, and says you're her boyfriend. She doesn't really want you to be her boyfriend. She just needs to gush. Until she becomes a pregnant teen, it's just fun and games.

It's like little boys who point their fingers at you and make laser sounds, Tchew! Tchew! Tchew Tchew Tchew Tchew! Tchew Tchew Tchew Tchew Tchew! They don't really want to kill you (yet). It's just their way of gushing. Until someone breaks their neck practicing wrestling moves in the back yard, it's just fun and games.

-- Anonymous, April 05, 2000

Um, Mr. The Plan?

Not all of us single female-type persons are hung up on looks and bucks. I'd love to meet a *nice* guy to get serious about,and I bet most of the women who posted here would, too. Maybe you should go out (on your own or with some buddies) on Saturday nights and talk to people instead of staying home alone. That's what I do; I haven't met Mr. Right (yet - still hoping), but at least I meet new people.

And don't be bitter - it's unbecoming.

Hmmm. Is there going to be a cute MARRIED guy of the week category? Just because men are married, doesn't mean they can't be cute.--Al, who is very much NOT cute to anyone but fortunately-hallucinatory- when-it-comes-to-me Barb, of NOVA NOTES.

...and why are the older women holding back from the younger men? I'm thinking the voracious sexual appetites of the older women won't be held against them. You used withholding sex to control men in your younger years, so now you're wondering why the men your own age are so hung up. The younger women are no different than you were then, so your appetites become an advantage over them. The younger men and women don't know what they're doing, so you could just step in and take over. The older men are already doing this, trying to relive and revise their youth with younger women.

The exception to this are the squishy readers of course. The men and women here are totally unconflicted, unlike the rest of the world. (Mis, which words did I use to piss you off? Did the laser sounds bring back some bad memories?)

Talk is cheap, man. I've been singin' the same song Chris is for YEARS, and look where it's gotten me. If he's livin' the song as well as singin' it, then more power to him (because I know I've tried). I'd wager three-quarters of the "nummy yummy delish"-types on here would bail on him as quickly as they would me.

-- Anonymous, April 05, 2000

If you fall for someone based on a prepared writing assignment, then you're selling yourself short. I'm not saying that Chris might not be the great guy that everyone apparently thinks he is, I'm just saying that every woman who has posted here thinks he is the man of their dreams. Knowing how enormously difficult that must be--because Chris is human--and no two woman I know has ever described her dream man in exactly the same detail, I have to conclude that everyone of you are under a delusion of your own making.

And guys, jealousy over the attention that some person whom you don't know because a bunch of woman have decided he's their paragon of perfection does not at all reflect well on your own character.

I'm not selling myself short. One of the characteristics at the top of my list for Ideal Man is the ability to write in complete sentences. Chris's sentences were not only complete but amusing. I didn't realize Austin had single straight men my age (or thereabouts) who could write complete and amusing sentences. He didn't use the phrase "fat chick" either. You have no idea how optimistic all this makes me feel.

-- Anonymous, April 06, 2000

I didn't really mean to be as serious as I sounded. Actually, I was mulling over some boy trouble and it obviously showed in my comments. Let's just say that trusting any guy's word is something that I now equate to drinking poison. But I'm glad that Chris sounds like a decent guy and everything. We certainly need more of them around, especially if they choose to move in next door--which is what I've been hoping for years, but have yet to see.

Emily, if that were true, Chris would have gotten ten thousand marriage proposals, not Eric Menendez (he was convicted of executing his mother with a shot gun). For some reason, American parents are choosing to raise the Hunky McDangerouses. Have you ever spent the day at your local public high school as an adult? We breed people for stupidity.

Thanks to everyone who took the time to drop me a line or contribute to the forum. It confirms my belief, which was in doubt for awhile, that there are intelligent, sensitive, and funny people out there that I can relate to. I wish you all the best of luck.
