About Me

Some ladies have previously missed this, so I will now shout it out:

I AM CURRENTLY UNEMPLOYED

There is no official POF book of etiquette. However, if there were, I would suggest the following:

If somebody hits on somebody, drops in to say hi to somebody, or whatever...it is perfectly acceptable for the somebody who they hit on or dropped in to to say hi to...to blow them off with a "Thanks but no thanks." and a wish of "Good Luck".

On the other hand: If somebody hits on somebody, drops in to say hi to, or whatever...it is not acceptable for the somebody who did the hitting on and dropping in to say hi to, to blow off the person that they hit on or said hi to, with a "Thanks but no thanks" and a wish of "Good Luck".

I am beginning to think that Fish people should be required to take a MMPI as part of the registration process, me included of course.

You must not have appeared on an episode of Snapped.

I am not responsible for the content of any messages that I may send.

I have never had any children...I have been a cool step dad...I have been an even cooler uncle...so, if you have children, that is fine with me.

(Check out the June 18, 2009 Dilbert)

There ought to be a "body type" category: "A Few Extra Pounds But Not As Much As Alec Baldwin"...but then again...

I have a bald spot on the back of my head that I rent out as advertising space to the lady who cuts my hair.

I have seen profiles in which women have stated that they do not like "negative thinking people". Technically, that is a negative statement. For example: "I dislike the word NO...it's so negative." is a negative statement. On the other hand, "I like the word YES...it's so positive." is a positive statement.

I love to perform improv and sketch comedy. On one occasion, six other gentleman and I made over 1200 people laugh. Therefore, to those ladies who claim how important humor is, I may encourage a chuckle or two out of you.

I became an aspiring actor in 1994...I normally get cast as either a stupid "dad" or a psycho...I once took a Commercial Techniques class, and my classmates agreed that I would be well suited for a Preparation H commercial.

I am economically challenged...if you want a financial statement just ask up front.

I never did get that recording contract.

Sex is a good thing and I will never apologize for liking it.

I would rather be in a show than see one...I act and sing and I am addicted to music.

I like to print the photos that I take, but I am not well hung. (My work has never appeared in a gallery. Several showed interest, but they went out of business ...really).

It is better to give than to receive.

I once was dumped by a woman who told me that she loved me so much that it made her sick.

I like to watch baseball and football games. (Update: And perhaps hockey once again)

My friends tell me that I look the same as I did yesterday, but nothing like I did ten, twenty, thirty or forty years ago.

I feel as comfortable wearing sandals and dressing up in a pair of Levi's jeans as I do going barefoot while wearing a pair of Levi's cut-offs.

I wear shoes and socks during the winter...most of the time.

Food is good.

"He who shall; so shall who he."..."She who laughs last last laughs."...my saving grace?...I always put the right shoe on my left foot...and the one that is left on my right.

I have spent hours hanging out at the Powell's Bookstore on Lincoln.

I miss Lounge Ax...and the Quiet Knight...and Ratso's...and Bulls...and Orphans...and Holstein's...and Somebody Else's Trouble...and Earl's Pub...and Harry Hope's. Do you remember The Cellar...and The New Place...and The Kinetic Playground (Aaron Russo RIP)?

Some women post a laundry (wish) list of the ingredients that they want in their match. This reminds me of The Twilight Zone episode in which Keenan Wynn could describe a person onto a tape recorder, and that person (woman) would materialize. It ended when his nagging "wife" destroyed a tape...and she disappeared. He started to describe her back onto the tape recorder, but then changed the description, and a different woman materialized. But that was The Twilight Zone, and thus science fiction. I do not have much of a preconceived notion of my "dream girl". However, I hope that she will be as attracted to me as I am to her.

I have found that women who are not attracted to me are not conducive for a good relationship.

My cats Runt and Honey lived to be 16 and 19 years old respectively. I am now catless, however I have had a big snail for the past three years. (I had Saki, a Beta, but he died.) I was thinking of setting up a snail cam.

I had a stepfather whom I took care of full-time. Perhaps I should post a photo of him. It is ironic that this had been a deal breaker for so many women who had stated that family is "very important" to them. I am now seeking employment...got any tips?

I spent years overseeing my folks' health care needs, and that included battling a large HMO and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. I can be very serious when necessary.

I am not your ex...please do not make me pay for his sins.

You don't have to describe how you think that you look or how your friends think that you look, especially since you have posted current photographs of yourself. (It is silly to lie about your age for the same reason.)

One woman stated that this is too long so I am not a good match for her. hahaha

I can't think of anything else to write.

First Date

I prefer "first meet"...not just for my sake...but to keep the pressure off in general.

I would like to go somewhere and talk. Whether it be over tea, or a margarita...any place on a lake is fine too.

I just purchased (04/27/09) a respirator and replacement filters in the case of a pandemic. I heard that you are supposed to wear one while eating ribs. I tried it, and boy what a mess. UPDATE: 08/19/2010 The World Health Organization has announced the end of the swine flu pandemic. Does anybody want some NIB respirators?
