Woman. 44 years old. Zodiac sign: Virgo.
Looking for: man. In age: 41-51
I am a 44 year old mother of two girls ages 11 and 7. I am 5' 2", and ***ish) pounds with blonde curly hair and blue eyes. I'm a slightly shy, old-fashioned, simple, down to earth, easy going, no nonsense, do-it-yourself kind of gal. To start out, I'm looking for a man that can carry on a decent conversation. The mental connection is very important to me. I'm a talker (once I'm comfortable) so I prefer to be with someone that can hold up their end. I have many interests and I'm always open to learning something new to improve myself in any way I can. The more you know - the more you grow! Relationships are stronger and last much longer when they are friendship based. Friends with a sincere respect for one another as opposed to two people who's dating choices are based solely on physical attraction. I'm hoping to settle into something long term but if we can't be friends then nothing else will work out for us either. I was married for 11 years of a 13 year relationship and had a 6 year relationship soon after that one ended. I've been single for over 5 years. I am interested in meeting a patient, kind, decent, and trustworthy person with morals and integrity. I have my kids ***. They have no paternal contact whatsoever so I don't get much time away from them but I'm still not willing to leave them with a sitter for just anybody. There has to be some sort of CONNECTION, ATTRACTION, or COMPATIBILITY for me to meet anyone face to face. I do know what I'm NOT looking for. I'm okay with being single for as long as it takes but the boredom, monotony, and loneliness does tend to overwhelm me at times. Unfortunately, this is my only way of meeting people for now since I don't get out much and I'm not into the bar/night club scene. I'm not a big drinker and dislike crowds and loud noise.Due to personal preference and the fact that I'm not a heavy person myself, I am only attracted to men that have an average, athletic, or thin build. Attraction is a natural thing that we cannot change or control to be politically correct. I'm very sorry if this offends anyone. There are things about me that others may not find attractive as well but I do, at least, try to take care of my body the best I can and prefer a man that does the same. I expect no more of others than I expect of myself. I think that is fair. So if you do not at least try follow a healthy lifestyle I probably will not be interested.Everyone has their own ideals and admire different qualities in different people. Each person I meet brings out a different side of my personality. I can adjust myself to almost any level. None of us see ourselves in the same way as others see us. It takes the right person to bring out the REAL me. But you will form your own opinion regardless of what I type here. Soooo ... I'll just go ahead and lay it all out for you. ;)*I have Rheumatoid Arthritis. Had it since age 16 and YES .. it IS visible. I am honest and brave enough to put that out there for you to scrutinize. Everybody has a flaw of some sort but since mine just happens to be a noticeable part of my appearance, I feel that I should let it be known so that you can decide if it's something you can accept. I have had both knees replaced already (I walk fine), a forefoot reconstruction that left me with with a metal plate, screws, and fused toes. I also have some other visible arthritic damage here and there. I do eat healthy, take good care of myself, and truly believe that I'm in better shape than most women my age otherwise. I am NOT looking for somebody to feel sorry for me or take care of me. I take good care of myself and I never ask for help. I'm extremely stubborn and still have a sense of pride that overrides pain. ;) You'll either accept it or you won't. I also might as well mention that I had to give up driving due to the *** my knee replacements (at least temporarily). I don't want to kill anyone on the road (or the sidewalks :p). I had to leave my bank job to take care of some of my medical issues. I have been seeking work in an office type setting ever since but I am basically on medical/disability for now until a non-discriminatory person decides to hire me. If that spooks you .... well sorry. I'm just trying to stay mobile and do whatever needs to be done for myself as well as my kids. I've had 14 surgeries so far and will still need plenty more in the near future (next one in April ***. I make no excuses for myself, my abilities, or my disabilities ... I always do what I can. My life isn't easy but it does go on either way - with or without you. :)* Chemistry is always a factor and the written word can be interpreted any way the reader so chooses to interpret it. So a face to face meeting at some point will make or break it. Let's face it ... you just don't know a person until you've looked into their eyes, watched their body language, facial expressions, and see how they treat and/or react to others around them, as well as how others treat/react to them. It tells you so much more than simple e-mails and phone calls where words can be easily misunderstood.To be honest ... I feel uncomfortable eating on a first date. Too nervous. Maybe just appetizers and a drink at the very most. Grabbing a coffee for a quick meet and greet is good too. That way it stays comfortable in case there is no mutual spark.Please have a pic to share. You can see me ... let me see you too. :)

Hi! I am a happy, secure, financially stable person looking to find someone intelligent and fun to date. I indicated that I'm looking to date but nothing serious. I should clarify that I'm not opposed to something serious developing in time but definitely don't want to skip over the dating and getting to know each other phase!I am a big sports fan, and love to go to games and watch on TV. I especially love Texans football and am looking forward to them having a great season after last year's playoff excitement. I've been a sports fan since I was a little kid because it gave me an opportunity to hang out with my dad. I also enjoy going to museums, plays and musicals. I know a lot of guys aren't into that type of thing but if I could find someone who wouldn't mind doing that stuff with me once in a while, it would be a real bonus! I like to spend time outdoors at the beach or lakes and love to take weekend trips around the state and I'd love to find someone to enjoy all that stuff with! Of course, I also enjoy hanging out with my friends whether it's for happy hour or dinner out, shopping, etc. In my downtime around the house, I like to read, watch TV and movies (kind of a reality TV addict), do crossword puzzles and hang out on my back patio.I have a daughter and obviously my priority is making sure she's happy and healthy. Her dad is a great dad and very involved so I do have time to date and possibly eventually a relationship. I'm an open-minded person and want to date someone who is also open-minded and not judgmental of others. I enjoy good conversation and want to find someone who is a great conversationalist and can keep me on my toes intellectually! Good luck to everyone! I don't have a specific first-date scenario in mind. The main thing is people able to talk to find out if there is a connection!

Woman. 42 years old. Zodiac sign: Libra.
Looking for: man. In age: 39-49
UPDATED: ***st off all larger ladies DO NOT have such a low self esteem that they have sex just to have a man! ESPECIALLY THIS ONE! If that's your point of view...MOVE ON! If not, please read on. It's time to try again. I'm a homebody mostly because I don't drink so no need to hang at the bar. I do like to go out to listen to live bands and hang with my friends. I'm very comfortable with being single. At this point in my life I know what I want and I don't plan on settling for anything less which no one should. If I say I'm going to do something; I do it. I expect the same in return. We all have things come up but should still respect the other person waiting on the other side. I don't believe in playing games. I never did but at this age no one should be and if that is your plan then keep scrolling. If you're not a grown up by now you never will be and I already have a teenager. I always try to be polite and speak to people but as already stated, I know what I want. I do have physical traits that I prefer. That doesn't mean Mr. Universe in my book. Of course, most men that are the "Mr. Universe" type have an ego to match that size reference. I want to see your eyes and smile. Sunglasses and scowls aren't attractive. I know that I am not a beauty queen; however, I try to work out 3 times a week and eat right most of the time. What you see is what you get. I'm not a girlie girl. I don't dye my hair or get my nails done. Dresses are for special occasions. Most of the time I don't wear makeup. I don't mind getting dirty or learning new things... OH and I am NOT a shopper. Can't stand to go shopping. On the counterpart: I'm not into sports unless my son is playing. That doesn't mean I won't watch or go to game now and then with good company. If you've made it this far then that's a start.I've been asked about my luck on this site several times. Well, I'm still here for the moment. If it keeps up I'm outta here and will continue on my own path for my own better life. I am not afraid to walk any path alone but it would be nice to share a walk with someone. The 1st date really depends on the season and where we would be most comfortable to meet at for the 1st time. Could be dinner, a walk in the park or going to an event. I don't have any expectations for a 1st date except for respect and honesty.
