Hi, I'm John. I live in the beautiful Hudson Valley in New York about an hour or so North of New York City. I'm not very good at these profiles and bios but here goes, and I hope it gives you a pretty good idea of who I am and what I'm about If you have any other questions,please just write and ask.

I am a simple straight forward guy looking for a simple straight forward woman. I would like to find someone who is honnest, careing, funny but who knows how to be serrious when she has to be. I believe that I am a gentleman with a good sence of humor who is honnest,careing and passionate. I I would love to find that last first date but good friends are always welcome too. I want someone to share lifes ups and downs with and a some fun and adventures along the way. I guess I want it all... Is that too much to ask for at my age?? PLEASE, NO HEAD GAMES, PLAYERS OR LIARS......


I do smoke a pipe but not heavly and I do not smoke cigerattes but have no issues with a woman that does.

I have a married Daughter and three wonderful Grandkids that are my life along with an old dog. I live in the country but am near enough to NYC and the mountains to have the best of all worlds.



PLEASE NOTE: IF PIPE SMOKING DOES NOT BOTHER THOSE OF YOU WHO LISTED NO SMOKERS IN YOUR E-MAIL PREFERENCES, YOU WILL HAVE TO WRITE ME FIRST AS I CAN NOT CONTACT YOU OTHERWISE

I am pretty open. I think that we should discuss it and find something that we both like for a first date. I do not set timetables and believe that we should see what happens... Dinner or just a drink or coffee and getting to know eash other is nice and then see how we feel about a second date and beyond
