**** Update 5/15/06 **** To all fellow POF members... I've met someone special via POF (yes it does work) and at this time I've decided not to persue any new relationships. best of luck to you all.

Yup, I checked, I’m a one of those “Real Men” women are searching for. I’ve got ten working fingers and toes. I do my own car maintenance when prudent, I get my hands dirty w/ house & yard work and if I’ve got eight items I don’t stand in the seven-items-or-less checkout line. I’ve been known to read books, newspapers, and even vote on a regular basis. I have my own opinions, thoughts & ideas but don’t let that scare you as I listen to (and respect) what others have to say.

This Real Man also loves to hold his sig other’s hand, give and get hugs and yes, even cuddle. He also takes an interest in his partner’s day-to-day life and will always have a shoulder to lean on. This Real Man realizes relationships require caring, communication, and honesty. This Real Man likes to have fun with his partner.

Did I mention that I am a REAL MAN?


More about me
I’m a 41 yr old down-to-earth, hard-working Rochester native who enjoys the outdoors and I’m looking for the right partner with whom, we can share the rest of our lives together.

I'm a cat person, I don’t smoke or drink and I’ve been a vegetarian since before it was fashionable. Yes, I do just fine alongside dogs, social drinkers and non-vegetarians. I enjoy sea kayaking, wilderness camping, hiking, landscape photography, travel, the arts, flea market browsing, and cooking but I'm also quite at home going to the movies, browsing for books\music at Borders or just TV\movies\conversation\sharing secrets on the couch. I’m game for just about anything (ok, I admit it, I'm not known for dancing) but w/ the right partner to show me I’d give it a try. Family life is important to me, my parents & sister’s family are in the area and we spend time together.

So… If you’re a Real Woman and you like what this Real Man has to offer send me an e-mail and well see what happens.

How about meeting at a coffee bar for conversation? Afterwards, well I'm just full of ideas, here are some of them:

Building a snowman

Flying a kite

How about a picnic lunch on a lawn somewhere?

How about chasing after lightning-bugs on a warm summer night? You bring the jar.

Are you game to go looking for a covered bridge and take a stroll through it?

I know where there is this great tree-swing, It's been far to long since I pushed someone my age on one.

I can always find room for something to eat

How about this... I always wanted to see how far north the roads go in Canada. Don't believe those maps you see on Google. I'll drive, you navigate.

What are your ideas? Share them with me, send an e-mail.
