Hi,

This is the place in the profile where we all get a chance to prove that we are witty and can say something clever. In a way that catches your attention. I think it is called Marketing! I don't look at myself as a product that needs to be marketed. I am a guy who is real and sincere; I am looking for a woman who is the same.

I am looking for a long term relationship, you know the kind that exceeds the length of a season, and is joyful and fun. I am also capable of weathering the down sides of relationships and of life. I know from first hand experience, that life is not always a "day at the beach". But when you are with the right person, getting out of the ditch is not such a difficult job. It's a partnership! Things are easier when you have a shoulder to lean on and another heart to share things with. You know, nothing else much matters, when you are with that special someone?

Ladies, please do not exaggerate your age or any thing about your self. Please be real!!! It's very disappointing to meet and realize or be told that you are not what your profile states. My profile is the truth! I want yours to be the same. Also, have your picture on your profile. If that is not something you are comfortable doing, then please do not bother, as I will not answer your email.

Also, I can’t say this enough; meeting and getting to know someone, is the time when you want to put your best foot forward. When a man and a woman first talk and meet, they are both subject to a tsunami of judgments from one another. Most of the time these judgments are never expressed, but they are very important.

With this being said, I am no different than anyone else. I make judgments on what I hear and what I see. Also, I do make judgments based upon my past experiences. I will try very hard not to let my past navigate my future. Please try to do the same. It is the only thing that we should guarantee to ourselves when we are checking out a new person who may be the one, who will alter the course of the rest of our lives.

Did I cover everything? I hope so!

NO I did not!

If you have a dog, great! I like dogs! BUT!!!!! Don't talk with your dog while we are talking to each other. If the relationship is going to be a threesome, (the Dog, you and me) then I will insist that the dog pay for every other date. Again, I don't have a problem with your dog. But please remember that your dog is not a man.

Do something calm and quiet where we can get to know each other a bit. Ask questions of each other and learn if we are compatible personalities for each other.

Note to woman that love to talk only about themselves, their world, their friends: If you are self-centered and self-absorbed and narcissistic, I am not for you!

Someone else put this in their profile and I thought it was funny;

I think this is funny and true;
