About Me

I would think that a lot of people would find this part of the profile process very difficult. Writing about oneself, honestly and objectively can be a daunting process. However, as I am a bit narcissistic, I am not one of those people. Here goes (be prepared, I tend to talk in bullet points): I am a 48-year-old, professional woman of Italian decent. I have a college education (B.A. in Communications and English). I am a voracious writer and rarely go anywhere without a journal and a book. I am a Certified Meeting and Event Planner/Marketing Director and contract out to mainly Fortune ***companies. I am as comfortable in a business suit as I am in my overalls. I made a commitment at the beginning of this year to “Create something cool every day” (ie; gardening, creating garden art, writing,creating new recipes) and have been 98% successful with that goal. I'm not a big fan of nightclubs but love live music. I would rather melt into your arms and dance than bump into others. I like the occasional outdoor activity but don't fish or hunt, but I don't care if you do. I would rather sit by a fire, read or write, or snuggle up next to you and just be. If I say I love you, I will mean it. If I say I'm sorry, I will also mean it. I expect the same. As I said in my headline, I think words are sexy. I'm just as likely to send you love letters filled with warmth and passion as I am a suggestive *** innuendo. I do a lot of different types of things around the cities. I would hope that you do too. As my mom always said, "You don't have to like it, you just have to try it." I am independent and self-sufficient (I can do basic car maintenance and minor plumbing repairs) but would welcome your help. I'm looking for a gentleman (I've kind of forgot what you fellas look like)who isn't afraid of my strengths and can off-set my weaknesses. I will do the same for you. I can take care of myself but am better as a team. You also have to not be afraid to tell me when I'm being nuts (because I can be). With regards to what I’m looking for, I think it might be easier to indicate what I’m not looking for but I think that would put an negative slant on this little biography and I try to always be a positive person. I’m looking for someone I can talk to. Someone with whom I can be a partner and a friend, as well as a lover. And, as much as I am looking for someone who is able to listen to and respect me, it is equally as important to me that he would offer honest advice and encouragement. We don’t have to agree on everything, but we DO have to respect each other’s opinions. I’m open to all physical types. It is more important to me that you are comfortable in your own skin. That being said, I am not a big fan of facial hair (although it is not a deal breaker). Education or profession aren’t as important to me as someone who is always searching for knowledge. Whether that is learning the history of the widget, how to re-wire a lamp or how to make great curry (all of which I know). I need someone who equally comfortable at a business dinner with me or at a coffee shop in Uptown. I love deeply and passionately. I know I might get hurt, but it is the only way in which to live completely. I need someone who isn't afraid of public or private displays of affection. Okay, now....sports. First and foremost, I LOVE football. Baseball I like to see live, hockey I like to see live and everything else I mostly tolerate (and am happy to do so - I can easily read or write while you are watching any one of the aforementioned events on television). I like golf and have played on many occasions. However, I am not good at it (I lift my head too soon) and will take lessons when I have the time. You should too. There are SO many delightful restaurants, shops, parks tucked away all over the cities. I love hardware stores. I can't explain why. Perhaps its because I love to build things. I have a storage unit full of stuff acquired from Goodwill, salvage shops, junkyards or the side of the road. Lest you think I am a hoarder, please note that it is well organized and that each item is in the process of becoming something else. To that point, I also love power tools and own my own.I am smart, funny and confident (and clearly modest) but like everyone else, have moments of doubt and insecurity. These are the times that will define our relationship. Sometimes I will need your help and advice and other times you won't be able to do anything but hold my hand. You need to be okay with both scenarios. I fight passionately (but fairly) and make up the same way. You won't need to guess with me. I will tell you what I mean, what I want and what I need. You will need to do the same and be comfortable with doing so.Okay, I guess that's it for now. Its your move.Cheers!P.S. One last thing...bobble-heads crack me up! Our first date will be casual and public. Perhaps a drink in a quiet bar or a coffee in raucous cafe. Either way, before we get to that, we will get to know each other on line. Work out the bumps (as it were)and make sure we have enough in common to take that next step. As I've said...words are sexy.

    Woman. 46 years old. Zodiac sign: Cancer.

    Looking for: man. In age: 43-53

    I love the idea of a Renaissance woman, and while I can't yet claim to be that, my goal in life is to learn about everything and, more importantly, how to do everything. So over time I've gained a few useful skills - give me a call if you need your roof fixed, a window replaced, a leaky faucet repaired, or a wall moved. I like projects (and power tools!). And have a heated discussion on the way home about whether string theory really does fit in to the explanation of how the universe began. Alas, my portfolio of interests is not yet complete; it's a big world out there to learn about and experience. Let's see... On our first date, you'll pick me up in your late model Ferrari that you personally converted to full electric and charged on your 10 megawatt solar panel array before you left home. Since you already have a deep understanding of my personality from reading my profile, you know to show up exactly 7 minutes late while I flutter around trying to decide which earrings will properly reflect my unique balance of deep intellectualism and runway model fashion sense. After a few introductory niceties, you whisk me off towards a great little local restaurant run by a former celebrity chef where the entire menu, produce as well as livestock, is raised on a small plot of land behind the restaurant. We play and laugh with the free range chickens while we wait for our table to be prepared. Throughout dinner, we charm one another with our intellect and wit, sharing stories of past adventures and lifelong dreams. After dinner, you drive us by the beach, where we walk barefoot along the surf in the moonlight and happen upon a sea turtle nest where the hatchlings are just emerging. We marvel at the miracle of nature as the hatchlings make their way into the foamy waters, their fate unknown. The moonlight sparkles on the water, a pair of dolphins leap gracefully into the air. Our eyes meet. Without a single word being spoken, we exchange a devilish smile, strip down to our bathing suits (that apparently we were wearing under our clothes all evening), and dive into the warm waters. I had no idea you were a former olympic medal swimmer - you didn't include that in your profile! The local public radio station plays quietly on the car stereo as we each silently reflect on the evening and marvel at the connection between us. We're not certain when, but we will meet again.

    I'm not your typical conventional girl. I'm not obsessed with shopping, there's nothing that I want I'm happy with what I have. I'm well mannered and well spoken, more reserved and modest than I may appear. I don't like a lot of mush. Don't like to be smothered too much too soon. I truly like things that would interest guys more than girls. I'm not high maintenance but sexy just the same probably more so. I was told by a stranger, a woman who sees me every day I look just as good without makeup as I do with since I rush out without it in the a.m. That's the biggest compliment a woman can pay another woman : ) I'm a very introspective person and well educated thanks to my mom and dad and enjoy reading up on many different topics. I'm inquisitive, if I'm not familiar with something I look it up. My parents have gotten along together 49 years now and I realize how a man and woman should treat each other. I haven't gone through what most my age have so I don't have any drama. I'm very uncomplicated and luckily always have been. Having too many expectations of someone is very unrealistic. I do dislike arrogance, don't want a man who is wrapped up in an image or feels he is above anyone. I would like to meet a compassionate man who likes the company of kids, older people and pets as well. Being a child of the 70's & I try to keep it that way as much as I can. Get along best with a man who isn't hyper and doesn't have to be doing something all the time. I have religious belief and a conscience and would like a man who does as well. I feel it's important to have time to yourself as well as together to keep your sense of identity and appreciation for each other. Chemistry is either there or not, you can't make it happen. At the risk of being blatantly honest if you can't see yourself sexually with someone than it isn't going to work. To me intellectual chemistry is equally important because that is going to supersede everything else over time. I find a guy with a little boy charm who knows when to be a man very appealing. You don't have to be Superman, you can be Batman, he was always my favorite. I like to have fun and joke around, I'm easy to talk to and enjoy hearing about your interests as well. I'm very relaxed and not into questions, it's just not my nature. It's not that I'm not interested but I don't think it matters, things start from this point forward. I'm not a particular type, I'm comfortable no matter whether I'm at a cozy lounge or jukebox bar. I'm self-sufficient, my motto is if you want a job done right do it yourself. I'm very creative and see the artistic quality in things. I love summertime, the beach, spending time with family and friends. I have a lot of respect for and I'm close with my family and hope that you place importance on that in your own life as well. I enjoy all eras of music, more so classic rock and 80's pop. I'm most content at this age with myself and I try to see the best of a situation because most things aren't as bad as they seem. It doesn't matter where a first date takes place, more importantly is the company, you can be anywhere and have a good time.

    -49.I am a part-time Yoga Teacher and full time student in healthcare (changing my career). I'm honest, kind-hearted, accepting, and nurturing. I have a tattoo and my nose is pieced - both are spiritual and meaningful to me - not NOTcode for "I want to hookup" or "I'm into sexting" - which I don't and I'm not. I want a long term relationship that I hope will eventually lead to marriage some day. If you're just looking to play - please look elsewhere!My ideal match is confident, caring, intelligent, funny, attentive, sweet, supportive, youthful (not childish), energetic and fun loving. I'd like to meet a man who likes to cook, someone who is open to new experiences and can still feel a sense of wonder in this amazing world we live in. I want to meet my intellectual match; someone who is well-mannered and well-spoken with social graces. He can present himself with class and dignity without much effort. I am not interested in players. If you lie to me once or pretend to be someone you're not, you're done. Someone who does yoga or is open to learning would be a great bonus. The biggest turn-offs for me are bigotry, ***, intolerance, dominance, vulgarity, conceit, extreme competitiveness, cruelty, vanity, dishonesty, cynicism, and a know-it-all attitude. It's important to be our true selves even when we first meet, don't be someone you're not just to impress me and I won't either. The first time we meet, I need to find out if you can be a gentleman. Let's meet for coffee or a drink. But after dating for a little bit, my ideal date would be exciting and romantic, maybe take me someplace new, show me beautiful scenery in nature, a walk or hike, holding hands. A picnic in an amazing spot where you prepared the whole thing would show me how much I mean to you.
