sexy

True love may be foreign to The Blue and White, but the quest for it isn’t. Here we confess our hearts’ desires for the benefits of Columbia’s love-starved fops, aging professors, and resident perverts for whom the night has not yet been taken. Get inspired to submit your own personal!

Seeking Men

  • Anthro major seeks significant otherness.
  • Aspirational reporter seeks deepthroat.
  • BBM me hard!
  • You can’t capture my awesomeness in one line.
  • Or two.
  • Abstract theorist seeks something rock hard.
  • Bleary-eyed in Butler, we sat at opposite side of the ref room rable. We downed Red Bull and HamDel at four in the morning, our fingers numb from typing. Your eyes met mine, and at that moment, I realized: You’ll do.
  • 6, seeking 9

Seeking Women

  • They call me the freshman fifteen, because I’ll make you feel insecure and unattractive.
  • My dad’s in oil. You could be too.
  • Let’s take this Gchat off the record.
  • Like Narnia, but with sex.
  • I’d like to put my 1 in your 0.
  • DC native looking for below-the-Beltway traffic.
  • Cunning linguist seeks… friendship.

Whatever I can get

  • Uninhibited, wide-open, and robust.

Bwog Personals: You Now Have No Excuse to Be Alone This Valentine’s Day

Love!

Valentine’s Day is this Sunday, and we’re bringing back Bwog Personals just in time. For those of you who have friends that are less fortunate than others (or in some eyes, “luckier”) and are dreading a day of loneliness, don’t worry. We’ve got ‘em covered.

Bwog Personals allows eligible bachelors and bachelorettes a chance to showcase themselves to the Columbia community. Save your single friends from a day of self-pity and nominate them (or even yourself!) for a personal by emailing tips@bwog.net. We’ll give you some questions to answer, and you’ll find true love.

We’ll post the personals on Friday, which will give interested dates enough time to contact us before Sunday and will give ourselves enough time to dig up $10(!) that we’ll supply to the romantic pair. But of course, if you find yourselves to be a more adventurous couple, we’re offering guest meal swipes to John Jay Dining Hall as well.


Wrapping Up the Matchmaking: Bwog Personals Round Three

We asked you. You nominated them. They bothered to reply. We are pleased to offer up the final two beguiling Bwog Personals.  All interested parties should contact Bwog via e-mail and we’ll provide $10.54 for the date.

Bwog Personals: Just in Time for Valentine’s!

Yes, this Saturday is Valentine’s Day, with all its chocolate boxes, schlocky promises, renewed vows, and phlegm-filled PDAs. Oh, and single people get to feel just that extra bit lonelier (sure, some singles may feel a bit happier to be “free,” but isn’t that just too cynical, even for Columbia?).

Fear not – your single friends out there have one more chance to enjoy Valentine’s Day with a (potentially) special someone, as we’re announcing a Valentine’s Day edition of Bwog Personals. Nominate your friends (or yourself!) for a personal by emailing bwog@columbia.edu and we’ll send you a list of questions, which you’ll fill out and send back to us with your most flattering photo. We’ll post your stuff on Friday morning, and interested dates will be instructed to contact us so that we can shell out the $10 for your ultra romantic date night on the 14th.

Though keep in mind sometimes the most romantic dates in Morningside are priceless.


Bwog Personals: The Return

In light of yesterday’s Craigslist aggregation, a few readers and commenters have requested the return of Bwog Personals. Bwog Personals, you’ll recall, were a frequent occurrence last spring (the season of love, etc.) and culminated with a heroic showing by CCSC Presidential candidates George Krebs and Alidad Damooei. “How could we top that?” we thought. And so ended Bwog Personals. 

But today is a new day, a new season, and a new shot at love. So, we’re announcing the return of Bwog Personals. Nominate your friends (or yourself!) for a personal by emailing bwog@columbia.edu and we’ll send you a list of questions, which you’ll fill out and send back to us with your most flattering photo. 

We’ll post your stuff, and interested dates will be instructed to contact us so that we can shell out the $10 for your ultra romantic date night. (Though keep in mind sometimes the most romantic dates in Morningside are priceless.)
