Thanks for getting in touch. I think we are very different apes, but sometimes opposites attract!
A little bit about myself. I live in the wilds of Indonesia and love the outdoors. I weigh 90 pounds and am three feet long — how about you?
Don’t mean to be nosy, but I’m guessing from the “91” that you have reached mating age. I’m 12, and am just starting to date.
Hope to hear from you!

Wow — a real country girl. I’m a city guy — have lived in Amsterdam my whole life.
I’m four feet long and weigh 180 pounds. Yes, I’m fully “mature”, but I haven’t found the right girl yet. Mostly I end up humping the plastic tree in my little cage. My place is smaller than Seinfeld’s!
Send me a picture, okay?

Here I am. Hope you like the fresh, innocent look. You probably go for chimp shows with girls in lipstick I bet.
Who’s Seinfeld?

You look so — sweet. I can’t tell you how refreshing it is to see natural beauty after all the dolled-up pongos I meet around here.
Here’s what I look like. Hope it doesn’t you scare you back into the jungle.
If you haven’t seen Seinfeld yet it should be in re-runs on Indonesian cable soon.

Dear Dutch —
I think you’re cute! Maybe we could get together for lunch sometime — just shoots ‘n stems at a salad bar or something.
If you haven’t completely antagonized your zookeeper, maybe you could ask him to pick me up next time he’s in the area.
I live in Gunung Leuser National Park. Go in the south entrance and take a right after the second dictocarp. I’m the fifth palm tree in, third nest up. If you sink into a peat swamp you’ve gone too far.

He said yes! He’s coming to get you! Look for a guy in khaki shorts and shirt, pasty skin, glasses and a wimpy mustache that he’s growing to compensate for his thinning hair–as if!
By the way — one question. I went back and checked your profile and noticed you listed “The Way We Were” in your “Favorite Films” category.
You don’t like Barbra Streisand, do you? Cause that could be a problem.
