Dating Based on Values

So I am a huge fan of effeciency. Not just energy effeciency. I am talking like I plan my trip to the bathroom to intersect with some other errands that I have to do, like pick up the print out, check on the Cricket, and maybe even call a talkative neighbor back while I pee and the phone is on mute.

Therefore the idea of "green dating" is a cool one, in that I don't want to waste time dating someone who loves to litter, who thinks that oil dependence is a great thing, and drives a Hummer. (I actually don't care about dating a meat eater, as long as they will let me persuade them to eat free-range organic meat, and then worship me for opening their minds. :-)

However, I must confess... I have never tried a dating service.  I dipped a toe in the water and was emailing with this guy on Friendster once, but I could never close the deal.  I guess it is wildly popular these days.  BITERS -give us the goods... what is the scoop... share your stories and we will love you long time.

Off to daydream about the hot latin I will meet online who picks me up in the Prius, sporting pleather shoes and a crisp organic white button down - Jen

After losing my wife early in the morning of the day the bombardment of Iraq began, my world exploded into a combination of political outrage and personal loss. One of the first pieces of news I heard was of one Iraqi who lost his wife after only being married a week. At least I had my Teresa for ten years. When my heart hungers for beauty, it leads straight into the BBW community (big beautiful women). This sentiment alone seems to mark me as a renegade among greens to this very day, but one day not long after I received a postcard from Coalition for the Headwaters with a picture which explains it better than any words: So I went to local dances and a few events farther away oriented toward that community, and for a while looked into a plethora of dating sites. eHarmony seemed too much like homework, as if it would take a month to finish entering everything. On LargeFriends I met a wonderful pagan woman whose stay in the Bay Area was a short but eventful one including some study at New College and CIS before returning to her native North Carolina. I still see her once in a while when she comes over for PantheaCon. I had been with Teresa once to a shindig called the BBW Vegas Bash. We both were involved in the chat rooms and message board related to that, and I kept on and went on my own in 2003, and every year since so far. Everyone who knows me from there knows my politics. I'm always directing them to the audio archives over at KPFA. In the Yahoo groups as well I searched, and eventually the perfect woman turned up in an unlikely place: Fresno. I've burned up an embarassing amount of petroleum with all my visits to this whimsical crafter named Kat and our many adventures over the past year and a half, but the future holds more home time, as our wedding date draws near and the Giantess is soon to be the lady of Castle Elf. We will make it official on April 22nd - EARTH DAY!
