Secret to my peace and serenity: "The two most powerful warriors are patience and time." "Patience and fortitude conquer all things" . . . .
Well, most don't read this so there are two versions:
The short version for those who prefer brevity: I am a vibrantly happy and genuinely good person and will only acknowledge same. There isn't a category that includes all of the above, friendship through to long-term, that is what I look for . . . if we meet and intuitively feel whole, then it is meant to be.
The long version for those who enjoy details: For me, this is one path where we meet half-way and see if there is potential to nurture a deeper fulfilling relationship. The foundation should be compatible communication, similar lifestyles, common values and expectations. Most importantly, that we thoroughly enjoy each other's company and share a mutually alluring-chemistry. That being said, I am attracted to those
comfortable having a candid discussion on any issue, who are sincere and modest, who meet life's challenges head on and keep smiling . . . Naturally jubilant and willing to try anything fun in moderation without dragging in chaos or self-destructive behaviors. Like me, affectionate
with a hysterical sense of humor, laid back and able to savor and appreciate simple pleasures too. Honestly, I can see past a "suit" and am not easily impressed by a man’s looks, career, education or his "toys". . . Also, I am conscious that trials and tribulations are a part of life but I guard my peace and serenity very carefully.
Contrary to the look, initially I am shy until in my comfort zone and not into serial dating or disposable friendships at all. I have been blessed with a happy balance in all aspects, no bitter sob stories to tell yet! Born and raised in Manhattan, I also have my home in New Jersey. My nature is bubbly jolly, passionate, opinionated but still
old school traditional with strong family values and believe in
honesty and monogamy wholeheartedly. I was content to be married for 17 years but opted to be happily divorced 5 years ago. I have two of my own and being a kid at heart myself, I adoreeeeeeee children. My quality of life is pleasant but I am most comfortable home, in front of the fireplace in jeans and a flannel shirt. I loveeeeeeeeee to laugh but not at the expense of others as Karma comes around. Finally, I revel in being a full-figured BBW
LOW TOLERANCE FOR NONSENSE - REQUIRED READING SECTION:My taste in music is as diverse as I am, but it
does not include RAP 
I am severely allergic to those who are perpetually miserable, bitter, intolerant, snobs, metrosexuals or raunchy comments from
impatient serial daters aka Little Boys In the spirit of honesty, please have
genuine pictures of yourself and a substantive profile
