Looking for: man. In age: 50-60
Distance seems to be a problem for many except me. I trust and can be trusted, and will make the together time count. I refuse to give up hope and would move mountains to make it work with that special person... IF YOU BELIEVE THAT DISTANCE IS AN ISSUE...Go ahead and move on... I don't live in a box and am open to possibilities... I CAN AND WOULD MOVE IN TIME TO BE WITH THAT SPECIAL SOMEONE. I take commitment/relationships extremely serious... so while I may not move at race horse speed... nor am I a snail, and perhaps that's why I figure distance is "relevant"....not a deterrent:)I am easy to get along with BUT and this is as honest as I can be... I do not do nonsense (BS) well.... I am way to straight forward and have too much self respect to indulge in nonsense, and I will just walk away.My preference is to date only caucasian men between ***yrs of age; I prefer taller men... without children under the age of ***but preferences aside, nothing is set in stone),,, I refuse to list my "wants" and "want nots". It's simple really, honesty, excellent communication skills, desire/attraction/chemistry to last the years, a man that can dance, make me think, smile and laugh, a strong man, body and soul. A man I think about randomly that "brings a smile to my face." I want to desire "him" 20 YRS from now just as much/more than the day I met "him" and vice versa. Me: Spontaneous, passionate, realistic, hopeful and optimistic.....I am not here looking to "carousel" date, or have ever ending "meet and greets.";right" man and go from there. The stage I'm entering now is new and exciting, My wish is to find a man who wants to build an exciting and rewarding relationship/life together. It takes time to get to know "someone" and experience has taught me it is difficult to do so if not focused on the "one" you're with at the moment. While I have learned to never say never, I am not particularly interested in a man with young children. Children should come first!. What I am looking for is that something "special"- I refuse to settle. We all deserve to be with somebody who "gets our magic," and that idea has stuck with me. No one should settle for "good enough," and we all deserve to be with somebody that amazes and excites us. . I prefer to be by myself then with the wrong man-lonely and alone are very different. My wish is to find one man to spend quality time with, enjoy, get to know ,see where it leads,I do not do commitment casually. I do absolutely believe a healthy relationship MUST consist of a consistent, passionate, sensual, sexual relationship, this I will not compromise. Next: This seems so unnecessary, but yet it is and is ESSENTIAL: Single is SINGLE..... or because you work out of town Monday - Thursday., it means SINGLE.I am not perfect, if perfection is what you seek, it is not here, I didn't get to this point in my life by making all the right choices -and unlike some who so vehemently declare that "at this point in my life I've made all the mistakes I'm gonna make" -God Bless,I wouldn't even think to make such a declaration about myself, frankly, I find that totally "arrogant. " if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best." I enjoy the sun-working in the yard-sitting outside drinking my coffee or beer, reading outside, lounging in the pool, dining on a brisk morning, or at sunset . I am a great cook, truly enjoy cooking for my family and friends would like to find a man to share the kitchen with, prepare a meal, talk, take the opportunity to "share" the experience with. I am a water person- I am comfortable almost anywhere, and am quite diverse. There is no "petite" button, but at my size, I am not "average" per se....I'm Petite at 4'10.5", ***#-I'm a good woman, spiritual, funny, very witty and quick on my feet -intelligent but somewhat of a "brat" :) My pictures reflect who I am and are current...my weight has not fluctuated in over 5 years...I'm social -enjoying being a woman rather than a girl I feel better now than ever in my life. I am very energetic and personable. Easy keeper, move with ease from the farm to the theatre, jeans to little black dress! I wear many hats! I am a single mom of 3 great kids- an empty nester and looking toward my future. Life right now allows me to be quite flexible and I do absolutely believe in mutual interests and separate interests and simply enjoying "being together" even if it isn't your favorite thing to do!!! LOL that's called a "partnership" a "relationship" I'm game, are you?I enjoy good conversation and company. I HAVE TO HAVE CHEMISTRY-a spark-immediately to go on to the next level -just who I am. 1 THING I do not find attractive at all is ARROGANCE on ANY LEVEL! I KNOW that money/things/education don't equal class, do you? I am not suitable to someone who would rather "stay home and watch tv" then go....I am not a homebody; nor do I need to be entertained constantly, but I am active. I of course can relax at home and chill, watch a good movie.--but watch a day of movies?...maybe on a really ugly stormy day???...but in general I watch very little tv... no gameshows LOL... and I do not own a recliner..I am not in any manner a weak or desperate woman...which might make me sound demanding... honestly not...just know myself very well and am honest about myself. Found this quote on another profile, stole it... it's perfect, it's me: "What makes me unique is that I am real. I don't play games when it comes to matters of the heart. And I expect the same in return nothing more nothing less".Apparently my profile offends some, it's honest,---If it appears that "I want" alot,, well yes, I do-and will give back ten fold...I absolutely understand "mutual".....Many men say they want "honesty" and "open communication" but then when presented with such a woman are clearly taken aback...I'm still trying to understand the difference in the terms to the sexes!Lastly.....best of luck to all of us.... I can and will admit that I dislike this forum of meeting men..Although, I do believe it can work, but that honesty from the get go is of utmost importance and that "timing is everything!" I am trying to stay optimistic about online dating, I truly am...just as in life, some days are better than others?But we both know what memories can bringThey bring Diamonds and RustYes we both know what memories can bringThey bring Diamonds and Rust~JB~ Open to casual drink or coffee or?

Exactly how does one write a profile to precisely capture the desired audience? What magical combination of words can possibly attract the personification of the traits I find attractive or adequately portray my true essence as a person and a woman? Most importantly how many men really do read these profiles? Myself: I am self-sufficient (capable of killing spiders, investigating loud noises in the night with large dog at side, and tackling minor home repairs and improvements), educated (degreed with a liberal arts foundation), intelligent (have my own opinions but, astute enough to know that "different" doesn't necessarily mean "wrong"), articulate (I guess you’ll need to converse with me to ascertain that trait! lol), and attractive (or so I've been told) with a deep love for children, animals and the outdoors. Some of my greatest passions are dog rescue, training and fostering. Spending time at the dog parks is one of my favorite ways to de-stress. Additionally, being outside, whether working in the yard with headphones and music, walking trails with the dogs or sitting on a patio listening to wind chimes and birds sing is a must to retain my sanity!My friends and family have remarked that I am empathetic, naturally happy, unpretentious, patient, and have a calming influence on others. Basically, I see the joy in life and the good in people, and more often than not, accept them on their own terms. My goal is to live each day with love, grace, humility and gratitude. I've lived a fabulous live but, the past has not always been “”. However, it has been a wonderful opportunity for learning and growth. As a result, I am free from the past and have moved forward as a better person with more wisdom and life experience. Traits I appreciate in a man: Attractive (someone attractive to me both on the inside and out), intelligent (the ability carry on a cogent conversation and participate in playful banter), articulate (The ability and willingness to speak your thoughts, both positive and negative....What REALLY catches my attention and interest is excellent writing skills with correct spelling and proper grammar.Oh my!!), optimistic, warm, patient (able to laugh at the daily frustrations in life most of the time and can see progress, above imperfection) and a professional persona. Also a love of dogs would be a fantastic bonus, but at least a "like" is necessary. Essentially looking for my equal and complement....someone who "gets" me and would never dream of wanting to change me. Have you seen him????In a perfect world of infinite possibilities..... I seek a man that I can respect, admire and adore for an eternity; a man that can tolerate and perhaps even nurture my creative binges, can find humor in the chaos of living with a house full of pets, has the maturity to weather the storm and the wisdom and faith to embrace uncertainty. However, today, I'd like to start SLOWLY with a developing friendship and see what progresses. Down the road, who knows?.....Perhaps you will make my heart skip a beat. ;) Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. I wish you abundant success in finding what you seek. :) For that first meeting my preference would be a quiet location, e.g., coffee shop, to facilitate getting to know one another better, to determine the presence of that initial "spark" OR potential friendship.

This is the short version:I love to kick back with a glass of wine or pint of beer or forge ahead into the great outdoors. I'm a paddler and have my own canoe. I love adventuring in the city or out. I am a cat lady though dogs are cool too (and kids).I like midnight swims, spring showers, cooking over an open fire, dinners with friends, jeans and sweaters, good food, ice-cream, strong coffee (and 5 minute steeped tea). I like badminton, movies, books, dancing, singing, gardening, kissing, hiking, camping, feeling the wind against my face and the crunch of snow under my feet. I like to howl at the moon but I'm sometimes shy and need a push. Other times I light up a room.This is the longer version:I wanted to keep my profile short but perhaps I need to speak more to who I am and what it is I'm looking for. Perhaps this will narrow the responses I get...I only need one.I'm not lonely. I like where I'm at in my life. I like what I do, the things I've discovered about myself and the roads I've traveled down. I have a great family and a wonderful and ever growing group of friends. If I find someone to hold hands with ...well, that would be lovely and that's why I'm here.I want that special feeling that two people have when they look at each other across a crowded room. It's cliche, but it works.We need to be on the same page when it comes to humour. There's no hope if we can't make each other laugh. I can be silly, the clown, witty, dry, sarcastic or just cute and goofy. If you can make me laugh you will win my heart. I hope that's how I will win yours.Dancing. I love to dance. If you dance like a crazy ass punk rocker than we may be perfect for each other. This is not a prerequisite. It would just be nice.I almost didn't put relationship because it puts so much pressure on that first meeting. Or maybe even more so on the next which would really be our first date. The first meeting is really to see if we're on the same page or at the very least, the same chapter. And see if there's an attraction.It's important. Attraction. For women it's not necessarily how good looking you are. It could be your words, your confidence, your shyness or boldness. It could be your love of the outdoors or the way you smile. I like earnestness. I like handy men. I like soul. I like someone that isn't afraid to get his hands dirty. I like passion both with me and for the world. You needn't be vocal about your love of people and the earth. You just need to have it. It's important to me that your political views lean more to the left. I work-out because I have bad knees. I don't have a drop dead gorgeous body. I work-out so I can do the things I enjoy and not kill myself. I like to relax. I'm pretty laid back and so not high energy. I simply like to do a lot of different things. This doesn't mean I have an insurmountable amount of energy. In fact I need my down time. I'm not always good at communicating my feelings but I think it a very important part of keeping a relationship healthy. I like discussion. But I don't think we need to fill all the silence with words either. We all deserve respect and kindness. If we meet, let's keep it simple and easy and maybe at the very least have some intelligent conversation and a few laughs.I'm pragmatic. It's the journey, not the destination. Ok...the destination is good too!Yikes - That's one freakin' long profile. :) Let's meet and take it from there.
