Looking for a man who will treat you with honesty, respect, dignity and romance? Then you have made it to the right profile. If he should have a sense of humor too, then read on...
I am attracted to a woman that is comfortable in her skin, heart and soul. A woman that believes humor is one of life's great joys. One that likes the outdoors, enjoys being affectionate and can appreciate a true romantic. I am looking for someone to go to events with, to take walks with, or to find new place to sit and chat or listen to a band. If you agree that life is much more fulfilling when it is shared and that the best relationships are built on a foundation of caring, understanding, trust and communication, then I look forward to making your acquaintance.

Dating is scary, not sure when it changed over the years. What ever happened to writing, "I like you, do you like me?" "circle YES or NO" on a piece of paper and passing to that special someone. I guess this is that piece of paper now. If you are the type of woman that enjoys a short description, please stop here and circle "Yes" and send it back.

If you are an avid reader or a glutton for punishment, please continue.
Looking for your 'Prince Charming' or your 'Knight in Shining Armor'...
A recent ABC, Night-line feature concluded that there are no real dragons left to be slain, no ramparts to be defended. The unemployment rate among Princes and Knights is at a two hundred year high. The competition for the so few that are left, is to say the least, fierce. Their final recommendation... If you want to truly be happy for the rest of your life, talk up the Court Jester.

Having read many profiles, there are a few things women are looking for... He should have a job. I have been in Management, over 15 years. He should have hair. I still do, Although I may have to list it as "Salt and Pepper" soon. Unlike others, who may still be making payments on their transplants, plugs or rugs, mine is mine. That is because I wanted to be bald… All I wanted was to run a washcloth over it, a little SPF- 15 in the summer and out the door.

He should own his own car. I do, well Huntington Bank still owns the trunk and the rear bumper. He should be straight. I am, even though I can dress myself, have a sense of fashion, cook, clean, launder and like to shop. All that and handsome too… He should be modest. Okay, but this is the part where I have to blow my own horn.

He should not live with his Mom. Mine is near Pittsburgh. He should not be afraid of commitment or have been committed to a state facility. I was in a committed relationship for 14 years and on my own for 4 years. (The State has never heard of me) He should not have baggage. The only time I have baggage, is when I go to Chicago, if you have not been to Chicago, you have not been shopping.

He should be romantic. I enjoy wine and cheese picnics, romantic walks in the park, Jazz by the fireplace. I also like, nature walks, candlelight dinners out or in, cooking together, overstuffed pillows by the fireplace and weekend getaways. He should have a sense of humor. Hopefully, you have seen a little so far. I did say it was going to be long. I am a man who cares about his appearance.... clean-shaven, dresses tastefully (not necessarily trendy) and smells good!

UPDATE !! Feedback suggests, I missed a few. He should look good in his size 32, straight-legged jeans. You will have to decide. He should be housebroken, yes I am, seat down, paper over the top, cap on toothpaste.

UPDATE II !! I have recently been asked if I am a serial dater. I replied, "No, I don't even like corn flakes."

UPDATE III !! Not to long ago, someone said, "Pete, you are a 'Metro sexual'." I did not think much of it at the time, but as I was having a manicure the other day, I thought, "I resent that accusation!" (It was a joke, never had a manicure.)

UPDATE IV !! I have dated 'Barbie', it is like hugging a bag of antlers, and wondering if that is where the bruises came from. I enjoy driving on a long country road and hugging a few curves. My ideal mate should give me that same feeling.

Update V !! Okay, I can stop this at any time, I really don't have an update addiction.

Update VI !! I thought I could control this update thing but... One more... When I see that my glass is half empty, I say, "Waitress, another round, please !!"

Update VII !! If I see, "Drop me a line, one more time", I am going to send this: " _______________ "

Update VIII !! Someone asked me: "Have you had many dates from POF?" I said, "Mostly just raisins and sadly a few prunes too." (If you got this one, you are the one I am searching for !!)

Update IX !! Someone, after having read this bio, emailed me asking, " Are you Bi-Polar?" I replied, "No, Just one pole here."

Update X !! I have read more than a few times on woman's profiles that they don't like to play games. So what is so wrong about Lawn Darts and Monopoly ?? (We will save naked twister for another time.)

Update XI !! If I see one more, "What would you do for a first date?" And they say, "Depends" I will ask, "You mean the type you wear?"

Update XII !! I have been asked if I like an hourglass figure. I said, "Yes, but there is a limit to the amount of extra sand."

Update XIII !! My muse has now been described as a "thesis" The last thing I wanted was a PHD in cyber-meeting.

Intrigued? Just say "Hello". And I will send you my 'Top Ten List', of why I might be the guy you should get to know.

HELP ME GET OUT OF HERE. I'd love to never type POF again. All it takes is one good woman, and I'm out of here. When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible."
~Pete

Wine and cheese picnics, a walk on the beach, long spirited conversations over a cup of Joe, a hike in the Metro park, a Martini at Martini's. All great ways to get to know one another. But no putt-putt golf. I don't think I like the idea of a date being armed with a club. Say Hi, share your favorites. Then let's see which one we might try first.
