It's a small service I'm only happy to provide.

I meant "we're" happy to provide.

Now, perhaps this will pull some of those ever so tempting
"Dark Side" Sith Empress types out of hiding! Have not been in a relationship for 3 years due to studying and being very choosy about who I date. Am an Aries, and was born exactly on a Full Moon, as was my mother. This can cause one to be uniquely pleasant.
There will be a new moon at BM this year, so I may not have my full power of resistance available to me.
Ever heard of Dr. Milton Erickson? Richard Bandler? Kenrick Cleveland?
Dr. David Barron? I have been studying hypnosis and advanced NLP for 3 years now. If you would like to learn Advanced Jedi Mind Tricks, and you are a female, I can teach you a few fun and most stimulating mind functions. And the more you think about this, the more you may find yourself interested in finding me! Just ask and I will hypnotize you. Just like going into a light trance, now, nothing heavy. Except maybe your eyelids....

Genuinely,

Jedi Dale Of Reno

I have a 10-page questionnaire you have to fill out first, though. Bring a pen to the playa.

Ooh, I love random surveys! Really. Bring it on. We might just be a perfect match after all.

hee!

JediDale,
I am a Gemini with a Virgo moon, which makes me...complex yet compassionate. I as well have been studying NLP on and off for 3 yrs. I was 2 mths shy of getting my Practitioners certification (long story).

We need to find eachother certainly.

Hm. I'm going to try costco. It's a "soulmate TRADING outlet" so do I need to bring an ex-booty call or something to "trade" with for something else?

Haha. I was just at the dog park (imagine me all sweaty and dirty). Anyway, I met this girl (again) who I think is cute and today we were talking about our dogs and i said, "So...how old are you?" And she looked at me funny for a second and then told me. What's so shocking about being direct?

Hey, DallasPlaya, I was not trying set you up with my friend; two reasons, 1. she is not going to Burning Man this year and 2. if you said you were actively looking for a wife she would say cruel and unkind things to you. Spitting in your eye should not ruled out. When she first started hanging around I didn't pay much attention to her until at a dinner party I asked for opinions about my new hair cut. She said 'It's much better, now you only look 10 years of of date rather than 20.' I was smitten, at least for time.

Now tell us why you want a wife. Inquiring minds and all that.

Weird. Who doesn't want to pair up?

Now tell us why you want a wife. Inquiring minds and all that.

The word "wife" implies being in a committed relationship, being madly in love, being together while still being ourselves, partnership, more than the sum of the parts, 1+1=3, etc. I don't understand why, when I tell people, "I want to get married" or "I'm looking for a wife" they tend towards freaking out. What's so weird about wanting all those things and expressing it in those terms? I'm in no rush and I'm not desperate, I just know what I want the end result to be, just as if someone said, "I want to climb Mount Everest someday" and knew they had to start way, way down at the base camp... Maybe I should be more like everyone else and not be so forthcoming with my desires...

JediDale · Post by **JediDale** » Thu Aug 18, 2005 12:50 pm

I relate to you totally! It seems like many people feel some kind of strong need to be very reserved and closed. The openness thing is absolutely the best thing you can do, because it will filter out the insecure, closed,
reserved type of women! I once knew a pick up artist who used to say to women very forcefully "I am definitely NOT looking for a relationship with
ANY lady!" His results? The women would do anything to go out with him! Why? Well, the conscious mind lacks the ability to translate "negation" i.e.,
(Not, Don't, Shouldn't, Won't, Can't, etc) therefore, after a night or two of sleep, the subcon translates the above message to "I am definitely looking for a relationship with any woman" If you doubt this, read up on NLP techniques and hypnosis, particularly Milton Ericksons works.

Genuinely,

Jedi Dale Of Reno

(P.S.) Perhaps "I am available, IF..you meet my criteria!" is more suitable for you.

Well, I would never play games like that. I think some men (and women) do that so that if things go wrong they can say, "I TOLD YOU I WASN'T LOOKING FOR A RELATIONSHIP". It's also what people say when they just want to fuck somebody. But I understand what happens. It drives women crazy when I tell them I don't date under thirty. Just THIS week I was at a bar with some friends, met a girl, talked, told her about the age thing (she's 23) and a few beers later, she was touching me, talking to me, etc. etc. etc. Maybe she wanted to fuck me, maybe she just felt comfortable with me because she knew I was serious. Who knows. Same thing has happened at the dog park. I'm not a dick about it or anything, I'm just realistic and know that I'd be happier with someone closer to my age than not.

JediDale · Post by **JediDale** » Thu Aug 18, 2005 1:22 pm

You really understand the process! What you stated was exactly what he said! Concerning the age thing, when I was 25, I went out with a woman who was 49. She was a barrel of monkeys! Not much to look at, yet could walk into any social situation and bring everybody up in a matter of minutes! She acted younger than me, treated me better than any woman since! Also when I was 33, I lived with a girl who just turned 18. She was highly energetic, and humorous. Apples and Oranges. Age is only a factor if YOU make it a factor! Younger women tend to have more energy and less "baggage", older women tend to have more stability and emotional security. Whatcha want man? Comes down to the ol' "To Thine Own Self Be True!"

[quote]This will drastically cut down on the time we waste being nice to you and gifting you, etc.[/quote]

I think you are kind of missing the point here.

This was my first year at Burning Man, and from what I saw, a true gift is a gift that is given without any strings attached. Time is given freely and people are nice to you, simply because you are another person, not because the person giving of their time or gift expects sex from you.

The True Burners that I met, and the people I enjoyed the most, were happy to give of their gifts and time, just because they wanted to give of themselves and expected nothing in return.

My gift project fell through at the last minute and I didn't have a stash of pre-made gifts, but I found that the gift that was most appreciated was my time. Time to talk, time to help set something up or take something down, or time for a hug and a smile. I gave away lots of tangible things that I had brought, gave some clothes away, some food, some beer, but each time without the expectation of anything.

What made Burning Man so special for me, was that there were many thousands of other people that also gave of themselves without any expectations put on me.

Try it next time you are at Burning Man, give of yourself, expect nothing in return, and your giving will come back to you 100 fold. After that, all the other things will just work themselves out in ways you could have never imagined.

ubu · Post by **ubu** » Thu Sep 08, 2005 9:04 am

I meet people everywhere I go, on and off the playa.

I don't feel much different on the playa. I did my part this year with our art project, ensuring that the shy people would come in and enjoy it. I just love to see people be included; that really makes it for me.

There were ample opportunities and wonderful encounters with all kinds of people. The burn continues every day.

This weekend there will be a party with our campmates and fellow art project folks and the power to the peaceful concert in golden gate park and no BLM rangers to ask me if the keys in my back pocket are a pipe! and no dust!

The other key to a good time this year for me was having no expectations.

Burning man is ok if you are into fun!

DPlaya, as an "homme a femme", I think I can give you a little advice: no need to ask any questions at first. Give the ladies a little distance so they can check you out, especially if you are tall. Do not stare too hard, let them look at you....Say Hi...

My comment was tongue-in-cheek.

The True Burners that I met, and the people I enjoyed the most, were happy to give of their gifts and time, just because they wanted to give of themselves and expected nothing in return.

This was my sixth burn and I got more much just from the act of gifting than I could have ever gotten by getting something back.

What made Burning Man so special for me, was that there were many thousands of other people that also gave of themselves without any expectations put on me.

I found that a lot of people felt like they needed to gift me back for what we'd gifted them. In fact, I had to actually stop a few people from digging through their bag to find something to give us because not only did I not expect anything back but because I didn't want them feeling like they had to give-up something to pay me back. I told people, "Your presence here in our camp is your gift." (I love meeting new people.) Then I'd ususally add with a smile, "Otherwise I'd be sitting here, alone, twiddling my thumbs with a big pile of rocks, string and beads." :D

I might have found my future wife, yes. WHICH one she is, I'm not sure...yet...I have a few email addresses, names and faces to sort out. Thank GOD I wrote down the context for each email address I got this year (e.g., "girl from chick camp", "dirty blond girl", etc.). :D

I'll admit to having a touch of envy there. It doesn't help when you're stuck in the midwest and 90% of the participants are from the West Coast.

I'll quit my whining now and wish you the best of luck with that contact list of yours.

I know how you feel. I was at Monkey Puzzle one night hanging out and met a guy who from Portland who was lamenting not being able to find enough girls from Portland at Burning Man. I said, "DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY WOMEN THERE ARE HERE FROM PORTLAND? TRY BEING FROM DALLAS!!!" Oh and I also told him that the best way to make new friends/meet women/etc. is to either volunteer to help with a theme camp or setup your own. Why go looking for friends/girlfriends on the playa when you can have them come to you (as happened this year). I'll never not do a theme camp again. :D

I've always wanted to move west somewhere (fuck this sticky heat) and this year we spent about about two days in CA on the way up there and about two on the way back and I'm thinking that it might be time to make that move (not to mention that one of the girls I met who was digging me lives in LA).
