PLEASE! Someone tell me.... Why does PoF ask if we own a car??

And what's with the question, "Do you want children?". Are they asking if I want to father a new born (no), or if I'll date someone with kids (yes)?

Sorry for the length of this. I guess I got a bit carried away. But then, this is me....you can read it here, or we can spend hours, day, or weeks getting this all outa the way (which, could be fun) and find we're not what each other is looking for.

Some interests are listed above, but I also love trying new things, exploring new places, trying new experiences. One of my (many and weird) life's philosophies is, "try everything twice, you may have been in the wrong frame of mind the first time".

I tend to question much (not everything)...not because I don't trust (far from it) but because I have a desire to understand, completely.

I really don't like yellow curry (kinda kills any plans for travel to India).

I tend to be somewhat laid back, relaxed and easy going. Happy to make plans, but then just as happy going with the flow as things change.

I own a pair of Heelys, and I'm not afraid to use them.

I believe that quality of life should be judged simply by happiness.

If the parking lot goes downhill, I always ride the back of the shopping cart.

I believe one of the keys to the perfect relationship is open and honest communication. Feelings, thoughts, emotions, fears, issues, concerns...

I make a mean Dirty Garlic Vodka Martini.

I'm probably one of the most open-minded, non-judgmental people around.

A close friend recently described me as someone that thinks so far out of the box, that for me boxes don't exist. What's the big deal (or difficulty)? Everything always has a solution/answer (usually more than one)...it's simply a matter of being open minded (enough), and the willingness look at things non-judgmentally. Besides, the quality of life should be judged on happiness, and a better solution most definitely leads to more happiness.

I can cook vegetables in the micro wave, though salad comes out a little bit weird, and I haven't quite figured out the proper setting for olives...I can grill a mean steak, but, frequently prefer to go out. My comfort food is corn flakes, I built my own home (and continue to improve) and love to travel. All I need and want now is someone to intertwine lives with.


It would be nice to find someone that;

- Someone that actually has a desire to communicate...even if it means learning how better to...and understands a relationship does take some "effort", yet the reward far outweighs the risk.

- Honesty is imperative..not only to others, but to yourself as well.

- Someone that can spell, that would be a HUGE bonus (my spell check has caught 97 words so far.....at least it hasn't asked if I wanted to download the French version...yet :-).

-Someone that likes making out like two highschool sweethearts.

- Someone that likes to travel (a few times a year I have the opportunity for international travel on business. 7 to 10 days, and I only have to work 1 or 2 of them).

- Someone that will laugh at my jokes...no matter how dry, sarcastic, witty or childish they may be (Hey! They're funny, really, I laugh at them, and myself, all the time).

- Someone that understands that change is only temporary, and growth is what's real...and growth DOES happen, but sometimes needs a little patience, understanding, forgiveness, and yes, even a little guidance (aka kick in the you-know-where :-).

- Someone wanting and willing to take the time for understanding. Time to understand me, and time for me to understand them.

- Someone that's relatively height weight proportionate.

(the above also describe me)

How about a bite to eat? Preferably sushi ...lunch, dinner or a midday snack (I just can't picture sushi for breakfast).... Coffee works too...Pretty much anything in a quite atmosphere to talk.
