Hello and thank you for looking at my profile:
I love to laugh, and love even more to put a smile on others. I have a serious side, and am romantic at heart; believing that chivalry is not dead; consider my self intelligent, honest and true. I enjoy traveling, motorcycling, horses "even used to own a few" and many other things I can definitely be a flirt when we warm up to each other, and just love using double entendres…
I have A few nick names Captain, and McGuiver after the TV show. My pictures are recent, but I am told I don't take a good picture, and that I look better in person
I am what you might call a jack of all trades, and even master of a few, not having done something hasn't ever stopped me from trying.
What am I looking for? I am trying to find a woman to be friends with first, and then to have a Love affair with my best friend. My Soul mate, someone to laugh and share all that life has to offer.
I am looking for an intelligent and witty Lady, who likes being a Woman and Loves to be treated as such, likes to be adventurous, or just have a quiet night at home playing games, likes intimacy in its true definition, which is to say it is way more than just sex. PDA is cool, and kissing is an art form :D holding hands and looking into each others eyes. Telling each other you Love them without mere words.
I like to be challenged, and have intelligent conversation. I like to play games where you have to think, Pente` "ever heard of it? And just love to be the reason behind the smile on a woman's face.
Favorite Quotes: I have a few, and when I used to read it, Quotable Quotes was my favorite part of Readers Digest. (1) It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt. "Abraham Lincoln" (2) Treat Her like a Lady, and she will treat you like a Man. "Me". . A man, sees his true worth when he is reflected it the eyes of his woman. He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose. Jim Elliot. "As a side line on that one I was part of two short term mission trips to Ecuador where Jim and his friends were martyred". What a life changing experience. And a new favored quote: …To the world you are only one person, but to one person you may be the world!
I like to write when the spirit moves me, poems and such; my favorite poem is "IF" by Rudyard Kipling, and "The Purple Cow", Gelett Burgess was the first poem I memorized.
Thank you again
Barry
Ladies: I see a lot of common things in your profiles so here is my cliff notes version of me.The people here on POF say you will read my profile before my letter. I sincerely hope that having seen "me" you will drop me a line, especially if I wrote you first. Sometimes it is hard to try and extend your heart in a letter only to have it vanish into cyberspace. So what you may receive is somewhat a "form" letter. Please forgive me and be assured there is way more depth here to explore.
Thank you again and I hope you enjoy the effort I am making.
There's this thing called love I Have seen it, and come close to it and would like to experience it.... closeness, laughter, acceptance, respect, chemistry on all levels.... I would like to be a couple
1). This attempt will touch the heart of one special woman, she will see a reflection here, a resonates. Did you know that if you have two tuning forks the same, and when one is struck it will set the other vibrating. How wonderful it will be to find our forks, our reflections, our souls .Two people who vibrate together as one.
2). I am not Atlas, neither am I a couch potato. My job keeps me active.
3). I am not a "player" what ever this is I am not looking for a one night stand, or "friend with privileges"
4). I enjoyed notebook, The butcher's wife, and a few other so called chick flicks. I am not afraid of feelings and emotions, they are what we live for. There isn't any thing I wouldn't do For Love, except live without it.

And here is a peek into “Me”

Take a look and you will see, all there is deep inside of me, don’t look on the surface, for it is not there

Look through the windows deep, into my soul, Look for the person no one, else could know

He is hidden behind layers of, pain longing to be freed by, the whisper of his name.
A name of which even he is, unaware, waiting for that special someone
to allow it freedom from there

Where is this elusive beauty, that we all posses? Where is the treasure
Who will unlock the chest?

Some will go to the far reaches, keeping all hidden away. Constantly in disorder, snapping
At defenseless prey.

Some will hide it behind a pretty face, toying with others, passions, only to their disgrace.
Some will give up trying, letting themselves go. Putting on a shell
no one else would wish to know.

With others the cover is as thin as a bubble blown from soap.
Easily revealing their beauty these are the people we long
to be with the most.

It is there in each and everyone awaiting to be free. But alas,
With some; even death will not set it free.
There is way more to me than meets the eye, and my interests are many. I will forever be young at heart; age is a state of mind.
I don't think I am the average "male" and believe that should you take the time to get to know me you will not be sorry. So here goes Ladies I would Love to hear from you.
Blessings
Barry

A first date is getting to know each other and looking for kindling, the spark comes later. Something simple, or maybe even a new adventure? It all depends on chemistry.
This mite be a good place to add, I welcome a first contact letter from you Ladies, and also need to say don't let distance sway you too much. My job makes my home somewhat flexible I have family in Pittsburgh as well as NY
