I am a happy, intelligent, fun, independent woman looking for friendship and potentially more. I thought I would try this to "broaden my horizons." I believe this will give me an opportunity to meet some interesting people that I would not encounter otherwise. So, if you are interested in making a new friend and you share some of my interests let me know. These interests are: pleasant conversation, trips to the park or beach, laughter, working out, nice dinners, and honesty. I would also like my match to be caring, fun, happy, intelligent, and above all a good person. He would need take care of himself physically, mentally and be able to enjoy life. If this sounds like you, then we are possibly a match.

What you just read is my previous profile. My experience on this site is making me adjust it. Now I am including the following. I am happy with my life as it stands today. I do not need a mate. I have just concluded in the last year that I want one. If your picture is blurry, old or does not truly look like you in person the likelihood of my being interested in you after we meet is pretty slim. Physical appearance is important in a relationship. I do not care if you make a huge amount of money it will not change how I feel. If you have a great career I find that attractive, however it becomes non-attractive if it leaves you little time for me. If you have children that is great; I like them and will probably think they are wonderful. However, if it leaves you little time for me it is not going to work out. Also, if you live outside of a thirty mile radius from me and decide you want to date me let’s make sure the driving distance isn’t going to be a problem past the first few dates before you decide to waste “our” time. If you have commitment phobia please get over it before you decide to waste “our” time. If you have any type of addiction that makes you not available because you are “married” to it, we will not last. Anyway, I am sure it is apparent where I am going with this. Please respect my time and yours. I am interested in a relationship. I do not need another “friend,” I have plenty. I do not need a pen pal or an IM buddy. If I sound picky that is because I am. I will not apologize for it. Does this make me b****y, no. I hope you have your standards as I have mine. If your standards include a person who does not look their age because they take care of themselves, is loyal, loving, takes your feelings into consideration as their own, has a good head on their shoulders, is fun, and is loved by everyone… then I am probably your match.

I would prefer a more quiet setting where I could actually get to know the person versus going to a movie or to a club.
