About Me

I am an active and healthy woman. I like to golf, play tennis and bridge, go to the gym regularly, volunteer and read lots of interesting non-fiction, literary fiction and the WSJ.I eat healthy but don't obsess about my weight. I count my many friends among my most precious assets.I like to dance and prefer contemporary music but enjoy symphony and live opera. When trying to classify myself with one of the terms on the meetville list, I wish I could have selected "thinker" because that's how I see myself.I avoid American pop culture and tabloid television whenever possible. I don't like to spend my vacations shopping and try not to accumulate too much stuff. Existentialism appeals to me, numerology and astrology do not.As I get older, what I know gets less and less and what I only believe gets more and more: I thought it would be the other way around!I am financially stable: no debt, no drugs, no drama and no dark side (but lots of alliteration!).According to the meetville needs assessment, I am "a realist with a touch of hopeless romantic" and I wouldn't argue with that!I consider myself very social and outgoing, easy to talk to, easy to be friends with and spend time with. I came from a big family so I often think in terms of "the more the merrier" in parties, cooking, get-togethers etc. Growing up in a large, noisy family, I developed into less of an "orchid" and more of a "dandelion": self-sufficient, disciplined and determined. I try not to whine and I don't blame my parents for the way my life has turned out. In fact, I actually like the way my life has turned out! Coffee, lunch, drinks or dinner. Whatever and wherever is convenient and not too noisy or distracting.I prefer to not spend too much time e-communicating. If we like each other's profile, let's talk on the phone and arrange to meet sooner rather than later and see what develops!

    Woman. 54 years old. Zodiac sign: Cancer.

    Looking for: man. In age: 51-61

    Simply put, I want to enjoy life with someone I care about--grow young together. Friends would likely describe me as as having a vibrant personality, articulate with a bright mind, and warm heart. I fall into the normal weight category--with curves in the right places and shapely, slender legs. I have light green eyes and recent photos. I don't care to mislead anyone--wasting their time or mine. I am intellectually curious, an avid reader of more than meetville profiles, and passionate about living life to the fullest! I'm loyal, and I forgive quickly. I bring an open heart. It would be great to find someone who can laugh along with me, as we enjoy all the zaniness that life surprises us with. I have yet to meet my soul mate.My intent in joining meetville was to meet an educated, professional, fifty something year old man that shares a few mutual interests with me, like travel and perhaps boating. I realize this site is a long shot, but I am trying to remain optimistic. I am capable of compromise. I believe two is better than one, two minds, two hearts, and that love is sometimes elusive, but a precious gift. I am a hopeful romantic, not a hopeless one. There is no perfect partner, or perfect relationship; however, I feel an ideal relationship would be two best friends supporting each other’s goals, as they share their envisioned life together. Wouldn't it be great to feel that magic again...If you e mail me please say more than 'Hi. It would be wonderful to find a person with a positive outlook on life, as "life is ten percent what happens to you, and ninety percent how you respond to it." This is according to Lou Holtz. I feel experiences shape our lives, even the painful ones force us to grow--like divorce. I enjoy experiencing different cultures, their art, cuisines and history. Isn't it comfortable when conversation flows naturally and is engaging, as it does between friends? I dislike conflict; life is too short. I feel it's better to focus on getting the most out of the ride. To me laughter is the best medicine, and I would rather compromise than argue any day. Would you agree that sharing love is essential to living fully?Do you like girly-girls? I like being told I'm sexy, so I enjoy being well groomed from head to toe, and looking pretty for my man. That said, I am attracted to well groomed men, which includes clean white teeth--a kissable mouth. You can count on me to take pride in my appearance--from clean teeth to sexy toes. I believe it should be a priority to lead an overall healthy lifestyle, not only to maintain ones looks, but more importantly, good health. Would you like to entertain friends/family, go boating, island hop, take a nature walk, treasure hunt, cuddle-read, cuddle some more, explore/travel, enjoy a concert, a show, a movie, admire artwork, enjoy a wine tasting, a sunset, then gaze at the stars together? Ok, I risk sounding too sappy here. I must admit--I still believe in happily ever after. a good man. My point--life is best when shared. Yes, I have a playful side. I feel, and act young! Becoming friends first is a smart place to begin, as it's essential to the longevity of any relationship. Anyone looking for a bucket list partner--only my bucket list partner must also be my best friend, and more. I especially like boating, and the way the scent of the ocean air can invigorate and melt away the cares of the day. I love secluded beaches, feeling the wind in my hair and warm sun on my skin. Someday, I hope to make it to Biltmore over the Christmas Holidays, which happens to be my favorite time of year. I find joy in many things, like sharing a romantic dinner together, traveling to a fascinating destination, passionate kisses once you arrive! Walks amongst nature-- I also enjoy: The Arts, museums, festivals, seeing great architecture--I admire historical places, family gatherings, and the laughter of children, and friends. It's really not what one does with their time activity wise, but who the time is shared with that makes it special. I think I lead a balanced lifestyle; I eat healthy, no fast food, nor processed (I am a good cook), and never have smoked. I conduct myself with class--no drugs, no vices here. I drink socially, not frequently. Are you affectionate? It’s easy for me to express affection to those I care about.I find myself attracted to people who are articulate communicators, and a sense of humor is the icing on the cake! As far as interests go, mine are diverse. The activity is secondary to the company it is shared with. I can be content in front of the TV if in the arms of the right man. I believe in God; and I am happy to discuss this at a more appropriate time. It's a pleasure for me to be the hostess at wonderful parties were great food and merriment abound, and having the people around me that I hold dear. I want to drink life in...Only it is far more pleasurable when one has a partner to share/celebrate life experiences with. Attracted to easy going, strong, yet nurturing men. I am looking to find one special piece of the puzzle to fit well with. Lunch, coffee, dinner, a party, I am very open minded. Make a suggestion-it's the company that matters most. Chemistry is important and usually can be ascertained within minutes, but certainly a place where we could share conversation would be the best first date. My photos are very current.

    I have a natural Artist Apptitude...and go to shows for sales of my work. My Arts and Crafts are important to me. I have a strong intuitiveness that spooks some guys...I can almost say I am psychic...ALMOST...LOL!! I am striving for a man that knows how to treat a lady....respect....honesty....and defending my honor. I love the beach and camping and going to dances. I also write poetry and trying to get back into the book I started to write but lost on my computer as I was going into the 2nd third of the book! I have been described as...Sexy....sharp intellectually...funny...sensible...gifted...generous...soft...outspoken...and multi talented! I'm good at managing money and thrifty in spending but you wouldn't know it by the way I dress....some of my cheapest outfits get the most compilments!! I want to enjoy life more by having someone to spend it with...[p...a friend and lover...who communicates honestly and up front....no secrets! If you want to date me then post a photo and be honest about your weight and height!!!!! Or I will not respond! A first date; to me, should be a reasonably quiet place with good food to eat and conversation warming up to get to know each other....or a gentle ride in a horse and buggy on a hot summer night....or all of that in one night...leaving me feeling intimate but not sexual, curious for more but not skeptical, engaging but not too eager, respected but not because I expect it but because the man knows well how to treat a woman! Yes, I am romantic and adventurous, and I like NICE surprises! I like to feel safe and comfortable the first date...no pressure, no expectations accept common decency as one should always be!! If you are funny and trusting and secure you will do well with me. I like strong but gentle men.
