I am a mature woman and have some serious curves. Hopefully you know how to appreciate them. We all have our preferences and I'm no different. I tend to be attracted to taller men on the leaner side. I like warm eyes and generous smiles. We all have baggage but if you can't zip your suitcase, please move on. I wouldn't recommend meeting someone without seeing their photo to determine if there's an initial attraction and to recognize them when you meet them in a public place for a drink. If you're capable of a 50/50 relationship then I'd like to hear from you. Someone with some life experience is preferred. I have no interest in fulfilling your older woman fantasies. I'm ready to meet your whole mind and body but would want to begin a friendship where emotional attachment builds gradually over time. That said, it would take an exceptional man to make me even remotely consider marriage again. I'm prepared. Are you?

I must be crazy to be looking for my equal on POF. But as an unattached woman who only rarely drinks, where do I find him? A grocery store is not a place to strike up a conversation while the ice cream melts in the cart. The gas station? Work is out of the question. A bar or club? There will always be women prettier and younger than me to distract men in those places. Not my style....even if I do like to dance.

A few observations:
Anger only hurts oneself.
Cigarettes will run your life long before they take it.
Weight can be lost but can you lose your crappy personality?
All people are inherently good inside but learn to like being bad and get stuck.
Religion is not the determining factor in spiritual fulfillment.
If you don't take care of yourself no one else will.

I am not:
Fragile; emotionally or physically.
Attracted to bad boys.
Arrogant.
A golddigger; money can't buy class.
Cold or mean.

I am:
Self-effacing (obviously!)
Attractive and can still turn heads.
Spontaneous; I'll do virtually anything once if it doesn't hurt someone else or myself.
Able to see the big picture through these pretty eyes.
Sensual and tactile.

Great conversation over a drink or two or dinner in a public place. A little flirtation would be nice. No pressure. No expectations. But if things go well....I'd love to make some fireworks
UPDATE: I've been told this sentence implies that I'm on POF looking for a one night stand.....I AM NOT! So my disclaimer: I am not interested in finding a sex partner. I do believe mutual physical attraction is an important a part of a great relationship. If there's chemistry, we'll get to the physical part in due course.
