I AM A MAN WHO IS LOOKING FOR A WOMAN TO BE MY COMPANION, FRIEND AND LOVER. I HAVE A UNIVERSITY DEGREE AND HAVE BEEN A CHICAGO POLICE OFFICER SINCE 1972. I WILL RESPECT THE WOMAN AND WILL ACCEPT HER AS SHE IS, AND I EXPECT THE SAME FROM HER. I AM ALSO INTELLIGENT AND HAVE A GOOD SENSE OF HUMOR, AND I WANT THE SAME IN THE WOMAN THAT I MEET. I WOULD LIKE TO CORRESPOND FIRST AND THEN SEE WHAT HAPPENS. TO BE HONEST, I MUST TELL YOU LOVELY LADIES 3 THINGS: 1) MY CHILDREN ARE GROWN, SO I WILL ACCEPT ANY CHILDREN THAT YOU HAVE AS MY OWN AND BE AS GOOD A FATHER TO THEM AS I CAN BE; 2) I AM LOOKING FOR A LIFELONG COMPANION, NOT A WIFE. I HAVE BEEN MARRIED 3 TIMES AND DO NOT WANT TO MARRY AGAIN; AND 3) I WANT A WOMAN WHO CAN COME HERE TO THE UNITED STATES TO MEET. I AM NOT AGAINST GOING TO EUROPE, BUT, BECAUSE I AM NOT WEALTHY, I DO NOT HAVE THE FUNDS FOR INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL. I APOLOGIZE FOR THESE CONDITIONS, BUT I DO NOT WANT TO WASTE YOUR TIME OR MINE ON RELATIONSHIPS THAT HAVE LITTLE CHANCE OF SUCCESS.

I WOULD LIKE TO FIND A WOMAN WHO IS SLIM, INTELLIGENT, HAS A GOOD SENSE OF HUMOR, IS RESPECTFUL AND ENJOYS PHYSICAL INTIMACY AND ROMANCE. I WOULD LIKE HER TO ENJOY EITHER GOING OUT OR STAYING HOME FOR QUIET TIMES. SINCE I ONLY SPEAK VERY POOR RUSSIAN, I WOULD HOPE THAT SHE SPEAKS AT LEAST SOME ENGLISH.
