Woman. 53 years old. Zodiac sign: Pisces.
Looking for: man. In age: 50-60
I love thunderstorms and the wind howling and the desert and deep woods. I like to watch sports with a man who knows a lot about them and likes even better, to play them. I love to dance and pray and get my hands in the dirt. I love action movies, old westerns, Shakespeare and slap-stick comedies. I love to see what is just around the bend and be in my jammies by 8. I am cheerful at 5am sans caffeine. I love the sound of a motorcycle reving up under an overpass just because and the deep voice of a man whispering in my ear for the same reason. I prize humility, courage, loyalty, perseverance in a man as I do in myself. I love a man with arms like an anvil and fists like a sledgehammer. And the wisdom to know when to use them and when to count to ten.My father and my son are the two men I have loved and respected most and when I was encouraged by a trusted friend to list 20 attributes I was looking for in someone, I found as I compiled it, that it was a composite of them. Here it is: 1. Between 6'1" and 6'5" in height. 2. Dark blonde hair. 3. Green eyes. 4. Athletically built and a life-long devotee of physical training. 5. Intelligent AND wise (they are not the same!). 6. Well-spoken and well-read. 7. In possession of a quick wit and enjoying poking fun at himself the most. 8. Gifted musically - able to play at least two ***, one of them being either the piano, the guitar, or the bagpipes. 9. Hard-working, personally frugal, but generous to those less fortunate.10.11. A Boy Scout.12. Clean in body - abstaining from all tobacco and recreational drug use. A rare intake of alcohol. 13. A warrior - skilled in a variety of weapons.14. A supporter of Israel.15. Devoted to his mother and courteous towards the female members of the family.16. Gentle and kind to animals and children.17. A man among men -18. Reverent - a fervent love for God encompassing body, mind, and spirit. 19. Faithful - able to withstand temptation, honoring his own integrity.20. Love me in word and deed. I took this list to my father, along with the profiles of the 30 men I thought most commendable. Though he was undergoing radiation and enduring much pain, his ***'s mind was as sharp as ever. He narrowed it down to just three.As I helped my father from his wheelchair to his bed, this man leaped up and lifted him effortlessly, but in doing so, his bounded hair became undone and cascaded over my father's face. And the man who was so "old school", who got his hair trimmed every two weeks, reached up and combed his fingers through the long tendrils and said, "It is so beautiful, Tom. Don't ever cut it." Then my father motioned for me to put a CD on, one of his favorites - "Wild Horses". When it was finished, he took Tom's hand and with tears streaming, softly said, "I have played this for her. Now, you will play it."Two weeks later my father died and joined my son. I was alone now in the world and the man with the beautiful hair had compassion on me and took me under his wing. He is in possession of many, perhaps most of these qualities. Odysseus was not the first, nor the last man to have his ship turned about... ; )But I will say this - every now and then, as I do the dishes, he gets out his guitar and plays "Wild Horses".And most of the time, "Nothing Else Matters..." It's message is one I keep remembering as I wait on Odysseus, the one who would be Anam Cara...to me.KINDNESSBefore you know what kindness really isyou must lose things, feel the future dissolve in a momentlike salt in a weakened broth.What you held in your hand,what you counted and carefully saved,all this must go so you knowhow desolate the landscape can bebetween the regions of kindness.Before you learn the tender gravity of kindness,you must travel where the Indian in a white poncholies dead by the side of the road.You must see how this could be you, how he too was someonewho journeyed through the night with plansand the simple breath that kept him alive.Before you know kindness as the deepest thing inside,you must know sorrow as the other deepest thing.You must wake up with sorrow.You must speak to it till your voicecatches the thread of all sorrowsand you see the size of the cloth.Then it is only kindness that makes any sense anymore, only kindness that ties your shoesand sends you out into the day to mail letters and purchase bread,only kindness that raises its headfrom the crowd of the world to sayIt is I you have been looking for,and then goes with you everywherelike a shadow or a friend. Well, I do like creativity and adventure... ; )

I'm definitely a "what you see is what you get" type person. I enjoy interacting & get along well with all types of people. I don't pretend to be somebody I'm not though.

Woman. 52 years old. Zodiac sign: Leo.
Looking for: man. In age: 49-59
I think I am ready to open my heart again. It's kind of scary to start over at 51, but I know that out there somewhere is a kind, warm, nature-loving man of integrity who is looking for someone like me. I'm in a transition phase in my life right now, trying to find the balance between putting my time, energy and passion into activities and people which will bring meaning to the 2nd half of my life vs. the practicalities of everyday existence. I really admire people who have chosen a simpler life built on what is important to them, rather than what society today dictates as being important.Part of my vision for the future includes a loving partner to share the journey. I like to spend most of my free time doing things outdoors like hiking, biking, gardening and paddling my kayak, but also enjoy live theatre and music.I tend to favor acoustic music, but like just about anything but rap/hip-hop type stuff and really twangy country. I find cello music really expresses all the feelings of the human heart so I adore cello music. I especially love live music in outdoor venues.I love to eat anything fresh from an organic garden, ethnic food and locally grown and raised stuff. I was raised Catholic but am finding my spiritual needs and growth extending beyond the *** these days.I'm not perfect...I have faults, weaknesses and character and bodily flaws. I'd rather share them with you, for true intimacy comes from feeling safe enough to be vulnerable with another. I'd like you to feel safe enough to share your imperfections as well. I do wonder... ...whether I will meet someone amazing that I want to spend the rest of my life with and who wants to spend the rest of his life with me ...if I will ever have my little eco-friendly home with a huge garden, a few chickens and maybe a goat...(oh, and you!) ...how I can support myself financially doing something I love rather than just working for the paycheck (and just for the record I have no debts except my mortgage)You should message me if:...you are looking for a down-to-earth, grounded woman with simple but important values. Someone you would love to go for a hike or camping with, or spend the day playing in the garden with, cooking dinner with or just relaxing on the beach with.If you are a kind, honest, man of integrity, who cherishes the out-of-doors as much as I do, I think you should say hi.I'm sorry but please pass me by if you are a smoker or have a past, present or future substance abuse problem. I have been deeply hurt by someone's issues with alcohol and I just don't have it in me to ride that roller-coaster again.In general,"Hey", " Hi there", or "what's up?" are really not likely to get my attention, so please...if you would really like a reply, make the effort to say something of substance. Good communication is the foundation of every successful relationship, and by not making the effort on the first try, leads me to believe that you are not at all interested in this integral piece of the puzzle. Just sayin' I enjoy a nice walk and talk for a first date. I think being able to go for a walk with someone because it is a little more casual and sometimes the things you see along the way can fill in those awkward silences that can sometimes happen on a first date. I think you can usually tell after an initial meeting if the person is someone you would like to get to know (or not).
