I've been told by friends that I write way too much about myself, and that the average guy would get bored....But, this is about ME - I am an independent, very confident,career woman who loves life, and loves a challenge. I am looking for a man who is not afraid to bare his soul,who really can carry a good conversation because of his intelligence,and can philosophize when the mood strikes...just because he can! I need to see that strong sense of loyality and integrity .In all reality - you need to be who you are, and do what you say. Please don't bother trying to mislead me. I'll catch you on it, in a heartbeat!

Being good in the kitchen...and other rooms of the house...would be great too! I love romance and ALL that goes with it! I am out-going, daring, and hope to meet someone who is the same & who is strongly secure emotionally, and financially.

I enjoy all-season activities, theatre, art,literature, politics (really intrigues me), hiking, skiing,water sports & watching football or hockey. I love reading, good books, as well as the newspaper. I am a devoted friend, and have many close friends who are great to be around. I love dining out (various cultural cuisines),dancing, a good red wine, and a wide variety of music, especially jazz and classic. I love sand, surf, and the mountains. Living life, not just existing, is important to me. I look at the beauty of a sunrise/sunset, see the silhouette of the mountains, the sparkle of sunshine off the water, and sigh with awe....saying God, I'm happy to be alive!

You will find that I am a multi-faceted individual. I am well-rounded, and secure in who I am. I would love to have a solid, loving relationship to fully complete this circle. We talk about our successes, but I feel that we really aren't complete until we have a compatible, loving partner, who loves us for who we are (with all our faults), makes us laugh, and is a great lover. If you think that you are up for the job...drop me a line. I don't bite, and I happen to think that when you look at all the available women in their 50's, men should be flocking to meet some of the sexiest, most secure, creatures on earth!... Can you handle a tall blonde that has smarts, and a sense of humour too??

If you want to impress me....wine and dine me gentlemen, or at least meet where we can sip a wonderful red wine and enjoy the ambiance! Nothing grabs a woman more than a good sense of romance and intrigue! If you are too timid / shy to take this approach...then don't bother...it won't work.

I believe that meeting face-to-face is important. You can tell a lot by that first look in the eyes...
