Thought it might be interesting to try this out. I try to be socially responsible, am supportive of all issues relating to the equality of all mankind, but don't make these things into my life's work. I have a fun job that causes me to work hard when I'm working or not work at all, sometimes for generously lengthy periods at a time. I enjoy the sun, the sea, the fresh air and nature, but am definitely a city girl. And, I enjoy the usual social & evening things like dining out, movies, etc. That's enough for now. You can learn the rest by contacting me.

Thanks for being interested enough to have read this far. If you are interested in what you've read above, then this is what I'm hoping you are all about:

You are an open-minded person with no tendencies towards bigotry or other intolerance.

You are professional, love what you do, do it well and are proud of it. Your career is not your only interest. You are social and secure, fit and active.

You are not afraid to speak your mind or share if something is bothering you. You can enjoy evenings out as equally as quiet evenings in.

Physically: You are considered attractive by most and do not dress in casual sportswear as your main wardrobe. I stand 5'6" and would love to wear heels when out with you for an evening so either you stand taller than 5'8" or it doesn't bother you if the woman you are with is taller than you. I prefer to date people younger than myself or VERY close to my age.

Also, I am super-fit and work-out in some way every day. I enjoy everything from (many forms of) running to weight-training and can occasionally be coerced into taking my bike out (I also love swimming, but restrict that to the summertime in the ocean or lakes). Therefore, I have a very high hope that you are also in great shape and pursue something regularly as a means to stay that way.

That's enough about you for now. You are an individual, as I am, so I'll find out the other stuff and what makes you special as I get to know you.

OH, sorry one more thing... PLEASE live in Vancouver or the IMMEDIATE Vancouver area. I am not interested in anything considered 'long distance' and this includes Vancouver Island or anywhere over the US border. Thank you for understanding.

OK, one MORE "one more thing"... guys, seriously... no pic, no response. Yes, life is brutal. But more than that, humans are visual animals...if you have personal reasons for not posting one, then at least email one or please be realistic in your expectations for a response. I only ask for that which I can provide.

...this is a minor addition that I now feel necessary: if your pic is of you without clothing, or of you infront of an expensive car or boat or a motorcycle of any form, I respectfully decline to hear from you. If all you've got to offer in the way of profile is a pic of you naked or shirtless, you haven't got enough. Further to that, if all you've got to offer is a pic of a car to showcase "mr. money", I'd appreciate you look elsewhere. I don't like motorcycles cuz they are scary death machines and you'll never get me on yours. And while that boat is probably beautiful, I want to know about YOU, not your possessions.

Looking forward to hearing from those of you that I haven't yet alienated!! :-)

Dinner, drinks, something off the beaten path, you get points if you can think of something fun and interesting!! :-)

NOT 'coffee'... talk about setting yourself up for disaster right off the bat.
