About Me

I think people would describe me as outgoing, energetic and kind, however, while training, most would not put "kind" in their description of me. I have a passion for people and have made some great connections with online dating, but haven't found the one who finally puts my dating days to rest. I love to laugh and can be a little sarcastic at times. I am told that I don't look or act my age.....I think that is a good thing. I firmly believe in balance and hope to find that someone who is independent and confident. I also need someone who understands that being a parent is my biggest role right now. I only have a few years left before all the "chicks are out of the nest". I grew up playing sports my whole life and have been blessed with athletic children. I love to work out and obviously have to make that part of my lifestyle due to my job. I hope to meet someone who also has made exercising part of their lifestyle without it becoming an obsession. I like playing golf and unfortunately didn't get much time over the past 2 years to play, but plan on working on my game going forward. Those of you who have been in the dating pool on and off know what I am talking about when I say that there is that special spark you get when you meet the right person. To me dating is like a puzzle.....the pieces have to fit. There is both the emotional as well as physical connection I look for in a guy. Travelling and getting away for long weekends is something I would enjoy doing with the right person. I speak Spanish (much more fluently after a few beers), yet at heart love my wine. I am a pretty decent cook and it would be great to have someone share in that passion for food and wine. I love a good burger, so Vegetarians may not be the best fit for me. I come from a large family back East and have a special place in my heart to be near the ocean at least once a year. Some of you are "Lake" people and some are salt water fans like me. I enjoy being on a lake and grew up learning how to windsurf and sail on one. Well, I could say more, but believe getting to know me should be done in person. think I listed out a few things that should give you a better look into who I am and what I am looking for.Is it wrong to say that I am looking for someone to challenge me? Those who know me will tell you that I am not a shy person. I am a very compassionate person who is ready to meet someone who will be there by my side but also help me grow as a person (not physically of course :)) but mentally and emotionally. My girlfriends teased me that my original pics on this site made me look "boring"......I didn't have anyone reaching out to me and then realized that my profile was hidden.LOl. Maybe that wont change anything but at least its now out there. I am not a boring person, but for whatever reason they urged me to get some new photos on here......whether this gets me any suitors remains to be seen, but this was my....or really "their" attempt to make me look less boring! What I state in my profile really is me... I have nothing to hide and am a pretty open book. I like to laugh...as you can see I have plenty of laughlines to prove that. Lets see what happens! Is it ok to say I dont like first dates? I am pretty lay back and go with the flow but when it comes to a first date, ugh! I like 2nd dates bc then I have seen the person and my level of comfort is much more evident. Dont get me wrong, I am not a shy person and can hold a conversation with the best of them, I just enjoy having the initial meeting over and then deciding whether there is a connection. I would probably have to say that a first date would be best over a drink....not fond of coffee dates......I will never go to a movie for a first date again, especially when you dont know what they like (big lesson learned there)Suprise me!

    Woman. 49 years old. Zodiac sign: Sagittarius.

    Looking for: man. In age: 46-56

    Professional loafer... but I get up every morning and go to work doing some GIS stuff, because loafing all day can get tiresome.... I'm a Bostonian by birth and at heart. Big time Red Sox fan, tried and true thru thick and thin. I love the SPORT of baseball, everything about baseball. I love double and triple A ball, probably MORE than I love big league baseball.I am a single mom, and I don't smoke or do drugs. I do drink occasionally (meaning that I'll have a drink a few times a year), but you'd never find me sitting at home drinking - I do it when I'm out of the house, being a good role model to my daughter is very important to me. My daughter has NEVER seen me take a drink, and I'll keep it that way. I don't hang in clubs or bars, that got a little played out a long time ago. I'd rather do something that will expand my mind. And before we go on... you should know that I am FAT. No, I'm not going to sugar coat it and say BBW, because we all know those women are just trying to paint a pretty picture of their own fat-ness when they call themselves BBW. I am not ashamed or afraid to say it: I'm FAT. Fat... Fat.... Fat..... (I know I'm going to lose the shallow ones in the crowd, or those of you that are beyond being seen with a fat chick, and that is a good thing***Bye!I haven't ALWAYS been fat. In fact, I've been a skinny chick most of my life. But something happened when I hit about the age of 40. Some fat chick jumped into my body, and I have NO idea who she is, but she's wreaking havoc on me. I'm going to kick her AS$ when I find her. The form on here that says "ALL MY KIDS are over 18", makes me seem, well... a tad 'over-productive'... lol. I have ONE daughter. She is 18.I am all about lover's rock and old school reggae. I love beaches, travel. I love interacting with people who are different than I am, it gives us that much more to talk about, share, explore, and learn. I've been to Africa a few times, Spain for a few months, the UK, all over the Caribbean ***lost count at 60 trips, I'm guessing somewhere near 70 now. How I approach this thing called 'internet dating': Well, frankly, I don't. Well, I've done it once. But I'm willing to give it a try again if you let me take it slowwwwwwww. I'm looking for someone who has something to bring to the table. You don't have to have a college degree, but I do expect you to be intelligent. You don't have to be a highly paid Wall Street executive, but you do need to have a J-O-B that you go to on a daily basis. You don't have to have perfect credit, but at our age, you should at least have a bank account. You don't have to dress in an Armani suit, because truth is***I love a guy in sweats and a wifebeater more.... I am probably the LEAST materialistic woman that you will ever meet, however, I am NOT looking to support any man.With that said, I do realize that men get the short end of the stick when it comes to dating. I mean, with the current economy, who can afford the gas to drive to pick a woman up, and get to the destination, nevermind pay for a meal for two at a moderate restaurant, the high cost of movie tickets, or the cost associated with any other activity? And to try to date on a weekly basis - well, that's almost like paying a mortgage. That's the reality of dating for a man, where tradition expects YOU to foot the bills. Now, I'm an old-fashioned girl, and love traditional values, but that doesn't mean that I'm not a realist, and that I don't recognize the expense of dating for a man. I WILL treat you from time to time, or can be MORE than happy in simple, no-cost dates. But I'm also a woman, and want to be treated well, it shows me that you think I'm worth it. I'm not much of a conversationalist. I'm pretty quiet, maybe even borderline introverted. But someone with the gift of gab usually brings me out of my shell, then the conversation will be a two way street for sure! Maybe I'm even old fashioned in that I like for a man to make the first move. I also don't care for men who put 'muscle' pics on their profile, or at least as their main profile pic. I don't care about how big your biceps are!!!!! I would MUCH prefer a guy with a belly who makes me believe that his most important asset is his intelligence, his heart, his compassion, his sincerity, his humor... ANYTHING besides his physical attributes. I mean, you MIGHT be eye candy (although muscles are only a SMALL part of the total package that equals 'eye candy')... but what do you have besides muscles????????? What can your muscles do for me????? Seriously. Can they comfort me or make me feel secure better than smaller arms? Nope. Can they make me laugh? Nope. Can they communicate with me? Nope. The point is - your muscles are totally meaningless to me. Besides ***they probably make your dck look small. lol. There is nothing wrong with being physically fit. However, there are men who are probably MORE FIT than the muscle bound, and can still put their arms down next to their sides comfortably. So anyone who thinks the physical is the most important thing that they can offer a woman is waaaaaaaaaaaay too SUPERFICIAL for my liking. Now, if you are a man who highlights your OTHER qualities on your profile, AND you happen to pump iron but it doesn't define you ***I can appreciate, respect and enjoy that! I might even LUST over you, but it won't be the muscles that does it - it would be because you are the total package.So... what else? Well, if you are about my age, that means that we are both middle-aged. If you are one of those men who expects a middle-aged woman to have the looks and body of an 18 year old, CLICK OFF MY PROFILE PLEASE. You are TOTALLY unrealistic. And UNFAIR! It cracks me up when I watch some balding, beer-gut afflicted middle-aged man turning his nose up to a plump middle-aged woman thinking he remains God's gift to women. News flash: You are bald and fat. At least I have all my hair, one up on YOU... lol.Anyway, for those of you still reading, and if you don't mind the lumps and bumps that come with child-bearing and age, and those that come from being in the kitchen and EATING the food that I cook for the man in my life and my child (because GROWN women take care of their family and that means COOKING for them)... then please feel free to contact me! I'd love if a guy showed up with tickets to a sporting event. Or a tent. Or a kayak. Or plane tickets, lol.

    Woman. 49 years old. Zodiac sign: Cancer.

    Looking for: man. In age: 46-56

    We are so lucky to live where we do. Fall is one of my favorite seasons. Camping, great concerts, awesome beach days.....kayaking. fun!!!I am an upbeat, positive spirit learning her way through this lifetime. Definitely a caregiver, massage giver, loving life but free flowing thinking woman. Things aren't always great........but there is beauty and good in all. I've traveled a bit.....never been to a place I haven't found something good about. Still places on my "list" to see.....Tahiti......... And so many places here in the US to see as well.Love the outdoors.......enjoying the sun, working in the garden, watching the sun go down around the fire. Kayaking, hiking, camping, scuba, lying on the beach, would love to fly an ultralight. Always working on my house renovations, the ideas/dreams never stop coming(lol or the things I need to fix). Artist that loves many mediums......just need to create. Love animals and they will always be around. We've got quite the zoo for our home......someday I dream of a small farm. Beekeeping is the new thing for me......but I'm having a challenge with it. Hmmm, water, rocks plants, the sky, the earth, people, books, SHOES(but would rather be barefoot, go figure!) lol I am interested in many things...the list goes on forever. Gives you more things to explore.Enjoy intimacy..very much....life is a great, joyful experience. Wonderful by yourself (life, that is), but when you are lucky to find someone to explore it with....it's fabulous. Not always easy, not always smiles. But the love and the bond is always there. A person that you come to trust, knowing that he is strong by your side. Know how lucky you are to have found one another. Work to keep it because how could you be that lucky again! A man that makes me laugh and smile. Shakes his head at my "project" ideas and then can't stop praising them when they are done. Someone I can talk to for hours.......or spend hours without a word spoken. Really, just someone that is what he puts out there and can stand strong. Oh, and you can use a hammer..........put oil in the car.......loves to kiss me and touch me for hours...let ME massage you for hours....and perhaps enjoy working in the gardens? Hell, if I am making a wish list I may as well go all out! lol Really, just looking for something very simple. And it is seemingly the most difficult to find. And boys...really, I am not against it if that's what you are looking for, but one nighters aren't what I am looking for. Not looking for marriage either, but just that special partner. I want someone I can hang out with doing whatever, as well as having fun once we are alone. But I don't like to rush into things......the wait makes it that much better. If I find him...fabulous. If not, this lifetime is a fabulous ride as is, so enjoy it!!! A hike somewhere.....performance at the Music Hall (lol most beautiful bathrooms on the planet).....dinner and some music.......; A great first date can be almost anything. It's all in the company. Surprise me! A guy who cares enough to actually think of something to do on the date.....BIG plus.

    Woman. 48 years old. Zodiac sign: Scorpio.

    Looking for: man. In age: 45-55

    I am a woman who is looking for someone with the same outlook on life as myself. He must like to be active and enjoy life. Although, I enjoy watching a good football game on a Sunday like anyone else. I do not like to sit home on a beautiful day doing nothing. I love doing things outdoors on a beautiful day whether it be attending festivals, boating or just sightseeing. I enjoy attending concerts and sporting events. I also like to go out in the evening to see a good band. Don't get me wrong, with the right person, I can just sit home and watch a movie or enjoy making a good meal. I love to eat good food like the next person. My perfect man would have the same family values as myself. I come from a big family of twelve. So whoever I spend time with must enjoy children and chaos. We are Irish and have a great time at family get togethers. Holidays are never boring. My favorite music is probably classic rock, however I do enjoy some of todays hits. With a fifteen year old boy and a thirteen year old girl, it is inevitable that I become familiar with hits of today. At this point in my life, I am just trying to live everyday to the fullest. I have worked and still do work very hard to not enjoy my spare time or days off. Life is too short to worry about the little things. I enjoy dressing up for a fancy night out, but I also enjoy camping with my kids. I would have to say I am a pretty well rounded individual. I love the mountains as well as the beach. I love swimming in lakes as well as the ocean. My family loves winter sports such as skiing as well as summer sports. I need someone who can relax most of the time and not get too stressed out. Hopefully that person is you and that you will want to meet me to see if we are compatible with each other. Look forward to hearing from you soon! My first date would include anything that I mentioned in my interests. Probably, getting a good meal then maybe going to a sporting event or doing something outdoors. Doing something that we can relax, have fun, talk and get to know each other better.
