About Me

How bout them DAWGS? :) Sorry guys... this profile is long and more like a book.... YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE A 6 ft 5 guy to go out with me. :) But I am tall! And I wear heels too. IS ANYONE OUT THERE A BOY SCOUT RUGGED TYPE THAT LIKES OUTDOORSY FEMININE WOMEN? And maybe you are a bit of a bad boy too, but deep down are just a really good man? Knock knock, hello??? And where are all the tall men in the world. Like 6 ft 4 and over. Just wondering. Ok.... can I ask for what I want in a guy? You know that saying... be careful what you wish for... it may just come true? Well, here it goes... I am looking for a great, fun loving guy who is sincere, honest and has a big heart. Strong moral character.... knows how to be good to his friends and family. A sense of humor is a must... I love a funny man. Are you spontaneous and like adventure.... and maybe act younger than you are? Those are great things in my book... Tall is great, but you do not have to be tall to get my attention or steal my heart. A gentleman...and know how to treat a lady. Fit, or athletic, and definitely active and take care of yourself. Conversation is very important to me... companionship and great chemistry. Please be willing to get out on the dance floor and have fun... I don't care if you can really dance or not... but if you have fun... that is what matters. I seem to get along better with college educated men or men that have a thirst for knowledge and learning. And fun... the fun factor is big for me right now. So there it is... this nice girl is asking for what she wants. Do I want to just date guys now and have lots of fun or do I want something more serious with one man? I have been asked that question quite a few times... I don't really know. The right man will take me off of here I feel sure... but I do understand that a relationship takes time to evolve. Soooo....... I don't really want to be a princess.... surely you know that. But maybe in your eyes, just a little bit would be nice. You know how on here you have to say how long your longest relationship was?? Well, mine was almost 28 years... and we dated for 6 years before we got married. So I know how to do relationships. I guess what I have to figure out now is how to date. I never really did that. And this is hard. Sometimes really, really hard. Maybe I will figure it out as I go along. What I just keep thinking is that the man I am going to be with for the rest of my life is out there somewhere. I wish I could find you, because I think I am getting ready for you. Now about me.... I am tall, 5'10", slender with an athletic build. Let me emphasize something here.... I AM TALL! I am every bit my 5 ft 10 inches. I have broad shoulders....I am also athletic. All that combined makes for a physical presence that some guys may be suprised about. I am not this tiny petite thing. If you are not accustomed to a tall woman, it may suprise you. I don't know.... lots of you guys are not honest about your height. Well, I am being truthful here. My photos are all very recent. I played tennis in my youth and into college. I love sports,tennis player,hike, and work out, exercise on a regular basis. I like the way it gives me energy and keeps me healthier in all aspects. I love to cook, and it is one way I show affection for people I care about. If I like you... I will feed you. But I am learning... I like to be spoiled too, and certainly love to be taken out to a nice dinner, and if you cook, wow. That is very nice. I have a Scandinavian heritage- I spent my formative years here in the South. I am somewhat traditional, but the older I get the more I enjoy things with a twist, quirky, fun, or daring. They say that is what happens when women hit midlife- we get confident, fun and know what we want. I am very open and honest, and appreciate that in others. OK..... HERE IS A CHALLENGE FOR SOME OF YOU SMART, TALENTED MEN THAT LIKE TO COMMUNICATE..... Would you please explain how the male mind works??? I am having a very hard time making sense of things. I still like men.... not a man hater by any means, but, you guys are hard to figure out sometimes. I love to cook,like being outdoors- camping, hiking, travel, antiquing and collecting, dancing, movies. Enjoy entertaining. College football. My son plays college ball. Some of my favorites- My kids,my family, dancing,PINK roses, music, white sand, crisp fall days,football games,a great beer in a COLD glass, good wine, fishing, sleeping in a tent under the stars, cooking breakfast, deep fresh snow,living in the mountains,a great meal,romance, tall,handsome men (I really do like tall men, but if you are not tall that is ok, I just really notice tall guys! Men that have a great sense of humor and can make me laugh, sincerity, empathy for others, and honesty. All very important. Life is good for me right now. Even though you may detect a sense of frustration here....I am enjoying my new single life. I really like meeting new people. I seem to interact with men quite well. You guys are very interesting.... did you know that? I just can't seem to figure you out. And I probably don't need to really, but it is challenging. And I love a challenge. I am interested in dating, and seeing what happens from there. I love it when a man is a gentleman. If you have put some thought or effort into something, even a very simple thing, if it shows your individuality and personality I will notice that. I love humor. A man that can make me laugh is halfway there. I enjoy life, I can be serious, but I also know how to keep things light and enjoy the moment and not get too uptight about things. I really do understand the differences between men and women. I have raised 2 great kids, a son and a daughter, and have enjoyed the distinct differences in how they develop. I am throwing this in here... my son, 23, is in my some of my pics.. and yes, he is a big guy, almost 6 ft 5. A lot of you have asked how tall is he? :) A great athlete,and he is out of college now and working at a nice job. I have not pictured my daughter, 25, for obvious reasons. So don't ask,she is taken,lol. She played 2 college sports, we are an athletic family...or at least enjoy competition. :) Be imaginative and fun, nice, and I will be happy. I like great food, a glass of wine or good beer, doing things outdoors, cultural events, or even better just talking and getting to know each other. I am easy to talk to and friendly and I don't bite. I like it when a guy shows his interest, and lets me know in different ways. I like hearing from you so just *** have fun. Life is too short not to have fun and be good to each other.

    Just want to find a nice good looking guy that wants to date someone their age. Honest, funny, sensitive, loving,caring down to earth.

I know that you have to be out there some where.I love Country , old rock and roll, blues, jazz and soul music. Do not care for RAP, folk or heavy metal.I love: early mornings sitting outside sipping my coffee, walking on the beach, listening to great music,sunrises, sunsets, laughing, dining at a nice restaurant, shooting pool(pocket billiards), playing poker, working out, hanging out and just being with my daughter. Pretty simple......Want to smile with a man holding my hand........I'm not into drama just want to move forward and have fun. I want to eventually find love again. I'm not in a hurry to find it but definitely looking forward to that awesome feeling again.Wish you all the best.. Meet for coffee and conversation and see what happens.The second date will be the highlight if you can get past the first.

    Woman. 55 years old. Zodiac sign: Pisces.

    Looking for: man. In age: 52-62

    Hi, thanks for stopping by.’ve lived in TX-7 months, CA-1 month and 1 day and Upstate NY-6 ½ years. Both my parents are gone now, but I still think about them every day. I’m the second child of four. I guess you can say I placed. I have two daughters, 1 son-in-law and two grandsons. I also have a large extended family. When I was growing up it was jokingly said that I was related to half the town and the other half were in the military. Unfortunately it wasn’t a joke. I will defend, fight for, back and stand up for my family, friends, and significant other. I am loyal to a tee.I own my own house (ok technically the bank still owns it), but every month it’s getting closer and closer to being just mine and not “ours”. I have a good job. I work in the accounting field. I’ve been working in the accounting field for ***years. This should prove to you that I stick with something I love, or it could just possibly mean that I’m stubborn and I don’t like change. I’ll go with the first option, but you’ll have to judge this one for yourself.I’ve recently started a bucket list. Mind you, I’m in no hurry to complete it just yet. I want to stick around for a long time. I have one item on the list so far (I need to work on this). My one and only item is to visit every state. I’ve been to 42 so far. Any takers out there that would like to help me complete this item and help me add to the list? Here’s a few more things about me and why. I'm a jeans, t-shirt and flipflop kind of girl, but I can dress up when I need to. I love to cook and I’m a pretty good cook, but I would rather cook for someone other than just myself. I like going out to dinner, but sometimes it’s just nice staying in and cooking something together. I don’t go to movies much. I prefer sitting on the couch, having a glass of wine and snuggling while watching a movie. You can’t do all of that in a theatre. I like listening to music and going to concerts. Right now I’m into the new/pop country, but I’ll listen to just about anything. I like to dance and I’m not afraid to get out on a dance floor. If push comes to shove though, I would rather slow dance with someone. You actually get to hold your partner. I’m a passionate person. I like to give hugs and kisses and I don’t mind receiving them either. However, there is a time and a place for everything. I try and treat people the way I would like to be treated. I don’t/won’t play games with people’s feelings because I surely don’t want it done to me. If you ask me something, I will give you an honest answer and I would expect the same in return. My vocabulary does include please and thank you. I try not to take things too seriously, but when and if I need to be serious I can and will be. However, I prefer laughter and playing around above anything else. I have a good sense of humor and I’ve been told that I’m extremely witty. Life is just too short not to enjoy it.Someone once asked me, “If you could trade places with anyone in this world for one day, who would you want to trade places with?” My answer was, “no one.” I don’t want to miss out on one second of my life. I like who I am, what I’ve become and I’m confident in my own skin. My parents raised me well. I do have my faults though. I’ve never been perfect, I’m not now nor will I ever be, but I believe my good qualities outweigh the faults. Last, but not least. What am I looking for in a man/relationship? I don’t want Mr. Right; I just want to meet the right person for me. I don’t need someone to take care of me, I just want someone to share my life with. If I’ve piqued your interest, please feel free to send me a message. I'm open to just about anything, but it would be nice if it was some place that we could talk and get to know one another.

    Woman. 54 years old. Zodiac sign: Capricorn.

    Looking for: man. In age: 51-61

    I am a strong independent women who has a job, home and close friends. I love to travel, see live music, dance and will try most things (except jump out of an airplane). I have recently started running and hiking, love to eat healthy and save my calories for adult beverages. I love most all music except Rap and even went to a recent Phish concert with my son. My family is extremely important to me and my daughter is recently engaged so the next year I am sure will be full of Wedding Plans. I am shy and am not a talkative person until you get to know me. I am loyal and honest and am not into playing games, causing friction or drama. I would like to meet a companion that will go to dinner, concerts etc. Let me know if anyone out there is interested. Just know I was married a long time and I am entitled to be picky as to who I choose. Good luck to all in this crazy world of Internet dating. You know, it has been so long since I dated that I know i will be nervous so a glass of wine or a cold beer at an outside place would be most comfortable. Then we will take it from there if we decide to meet again.
