LIFE IS TOO SHORT for DRAMA and PETTY THINGS So LAUGH Hard...LOVE Truly...and FORGIVE Quickly! Just an Iowa farm-raised lady who can dress up or down-depending on the occasion but prefer casual and simple. I believe beauty is seen differently through different eyes. NO botox, no silicone, no glamour shots and no thong shots.And if you are a realist you will know that the outer beauty will fade for everyone with age,so inner beauty is pretty important as well.I am ready to enjoy life now that the kids are grown and on their own. Interested men MUST have a sense of humor and enjoy life on a daily basis.If you can make me laugh, you already have my attention... Life should NOT be taken for granted and I firmly believe a relationship must be constantly worked at to succeed. Lookin for man who is capable of being not only my lover but my best friend..someone who I can confide in, take comfort with and someone who really knows how to treat a woman. Talking without saying a word..no,NOT mind reading-just that "close bond" that is lacking in so many relationships.I need to be respected for who I am and want to be loved unconditionally.No more empty promises. Daily affection is important to me as is the ability to be honest-no matter what! Do you COMMUNICATE well? Cuz "Mind Reading" was not a class offered. I really believe that is a key element in any relationship. If you dont like public affection or someone who has a huge heart and alot of love to share with the right person-save your email. I also have a great sense of humor and WANT to laugh again one day. Yes-sometimes it is a tad bit sarcastic but I can take it as well as dish it out! If you dont want someone who tells it straight and honest-do not contact me. Rejection hurts but if you cannot handle hearing the truth...perhaps you shouldnt be on this site...if you REALLY looking for the ONE to spend the rest of your life with-you should Want and be able to handle hearing the truth! And I can be brutally honest at times. The truth is what one person sees as beautiful...the next sees as unattractive...we can not turn those feelings on and off like a water faucet. I want you to LOOK INTO MY EYES....DO YOU FEEL "IT"? Does your heart skip a beat? Are the butterflies starting to move around in that gut? If so....dont be shy....let me know. I honestly am not looking for Mr Atlas...the body is a mere part of you...I want to look in your eyes and see your smile and see if the sparks are there or not. OK? BTW-I dont care what you OWN..I am not materialistic...nor do I need 6 pack abs...I can tell alot from your eyes and your smile. AND it should be known that I detest the smell of smoke....and many of my closest friends do NOT know I smoke...kissed a few non-smokers who also had no idea...so if this is a "deal breaker" for you...you need to know this.I am very conscious about it.
P.S. Hair on the chest and a nice butt are added bonuses for this lady. But certainly NOT a requirement Eggplant purple is this lady's favorite color...it is not only wild, but also passionate....as am I with the people and things I love and enjoy most in life. For those who think they are going to find their life partner within a 50 ml radius of where they live-I differ. I am finding that some men only THINK they are ready for a relationship...but in reality-they are not. Timing is KEY in relationships now and where each of us is at in our lives. Just be honest with yourself and me please! I have been and "Option" in life to others....now I need to be a PRIORITY..and no not being selfish-just honest. SECRET OF MINE...shhhh..I really want to learn to dance...anyone interested in taking or giving me lessons?

It's not WHAT you do-it's with whom you do them.....the key ingredient is that it is comfortable for BOTH people so they can relax and let their guard down some.I want to get to know the REAL person-not the man who required 10 drinks before he arrived! Please dont try to be someone that you are not. I want you to be yourself and we can take it from there. NO EXPECTATIONS and things will be more relaxed for all. And what's the worst that can happen? You make a new friend??? Nothing wrong with that is there? I AM NOT a player and dont wish to be played. I prefer to be straight forward and honest up-front. Think this is the only way for someone to really, truly get to know you. MUST be willing to share recent pics if you want to talk to me..think it is only fair guys. There MUST be a physical attraction and NO that does not make me shallow. I am a realist.
