About Me

"Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you are gonna get."How absolutely true! No matter what we do with our lives, we are still going to have high highs and low lows. With any luck, we ride out the storm and develop into someone our parents would be proud of. I live by the proverb "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." I think the world would be a better/more peaceful place if we all subscribed to that way of thinking, don't you?So who am I? I am a passionate, wise, altruistic, athletic, sensible yet spontaneous, self-sufficient and strong (both mentally AND physically!) woman who is just hitting the Prime of her life. I finally know what I want in life. It took me 50 years to discover it, but, while I may be slow, I am finally there. I am a self-made woman. Everything I own, I earned myself through hard work, blood, sweat and tears, and keeping my eyes on the prize. I now know that I WANT a man in my life, but I do not NEED a man. One is healthy and the other is not.Love has been like an elusive butterfly for me that I have been chasing for too long with a net that apparently has a hole in it! While I never thought of myself as a quitter, I must admit that I am getting quite a headache from banging my head against that wall! No more! Girls just wanna have fun, right? Besides, I finally realized that divorced men do not want a committed relationship, having already been down that road. I figure, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em!My favorite time of year is summer. You will find me outside most of the time, either working in my yard or checking out festival-goers. I am serious about taking care of myself and staying in shape. I worked damn hard to get this body and am not about to quit working on it now! I like a man who feels the same way and shares my philosophy on healthy living. Oh, don't get me wrong, I like to go out and have a couple drinks, wear a short skirt and heels, and know that I look good in them. Not intimidated yet? I also like serious kissing and cuddling, so pucker up, Boys!"There's no point in living if you can't feel alive." Prefer to meet for the first time somewhere where we can actually hear each other without using our "outside voices". I prefer the table in the corner where we can gaze into each other's eyes without squinting into bright lights. A couple drinks and a warm smile...who knows?

    Woman. 53 years old. Zodiac sign: Capricorn.

    Looking for: man. In age: 50-60

    Hi,I'm a 53 year old petite brunette with 3 grown children. I'm very outgoing and never met a stranger, but that could be that I'm a native Charlottean as well. I love babies, animals and the elderly and for those who don't and I mean dislike..move along, I fully believe there is a gene missing somewhere. I love the outdoors, just for the beauty of it. I really enjoy photographing the nature given us, the mountains, beaches and sometimes things that make you pull the car over. Of all these places, the beaches are my absolute favorite! I think God really outdid himself the day he created the Oceans. I'm so content to sit with the breeze in my hair, sun on my face and my eyes on the horizon. I never watch the ocean that I'm not in awe.It puts my small part in this big place into perspective. I enjoy hiking, biking, walks(on the beach extra pts.). Family is huge to me..it has to be to you. If you don't speak to your kids, parents siblings etc...not likely to work with me. I'm a very touchy-feely kind of girl, I'm just wired to put my hands on you if we sit beside each other, hold hands when we walk, you get the idea..but I don't have the need for some outrageous pda's . I'm passionate and loving,and I want a passionate love life..you have to know the difference, and this is a must..we must be compatible kissers...if that doesn't click nothing else will! I love slow, deep, wet, 3 day kisses...so if the first date warrants a second, as far as compatibility goes...I always, always kiss on the first date! It's a must... LOL I really would prefer a small quiet setting of some sort where we can converse and hear each other...the point is to see if we click after all. Part of that is based on attraction... I don't think it is necessary for a man to buy dinner when there is a real possibility that one or the other of us may just not be feeling it at all!..coffee shop, ice cream,a drink ..

    Looking for: man. In age: 48-58

    Hello and thank you for taking the time to read my profileI turned 51 years old in April, and looking for someone to share time with. I enjoy biking, going for long walks and enjoying mother nature . I also enjoy quiet times watching a movie or sports. I have 2 dogs who i enjoy having around and playing with.. My musical taste change depending on my moods. I have a full time job at a local company working in the quality area. My favorite season is fall and my favorite holiday is Thanksgiving. My friends describe me as loyal, out going, attractive and a good sense of humor. What im looking for in a man is one who likes to hold hands while walking, who has a good sense of humor, treats women as equals but still likes to hold chairs for them or open doors etc. I like a man who is comfortable sharing their issues and having in depth conversations. He needs to be sensative to a persons needs and be there when crap hits the fan. If you woild like to meet over coffee or a soft drink or just go for a walk let me know. Take care and hope to hear from you. Sorry guys I will not respond to *** men with no picture.
