In my own words, I am perceived to be pretty, a little shy, but I love to have a good conversation. I would like to meet someone who is not afraid to break down the barriers we all put up. I am attracted to very articulate and intelligent men. I also love to laugh, so if a man can make me laugh like silly, that is very attractive to me. I am more or less a loner, but prefer to be with that special person. I tend to keep to myself and I like a man who does the same, that is, not feel like he has to be the life of the party and always on, unless he has a special way in a crowd. It's hard to describe my perfect match since I try to choose my words very carefully. I like very masculine men. A man that is not afraid to wear a pink shirt for example, tells me he does not think that it's feminine, but is sure enough in himself to expess whatever he prefers. However, I love the rugged outdoorsy, carpenter look...work boots and jeans. I prefer a man who does not date around. I am a one man woman and seeking a one woman man to share each day with. Family is important, but if every Sunday is reserved for "their day, for family barbecues or events, I should be welcome, or it just doesn't work for me. I like to be told I look nice once in a while, especially if I took the time to prepare for a special date (I would do the same). I am a one on one kind of person and I would like to be with someone that is also. I like to cook together, read together, take a drive together, you get the picture. I do not want to meet a man that feels like if he swears, it makes his words more powerful. I also try to avoid smokers. Is there such a thing as a perfect match? I haven't decided. I think practice makes better, not perfect. I don't need perfection, just someone that is always striving to get the relationship right. I am a caretaker and I would want a man to take care of me too. I love to spoil a man and be spoiled, but I don't need to be a princess! I like to dress ultra feminine sometimes. I love to wear high heels and a skirt. I am not the sneakers and sweats type. Only to walk my dogs or go hiking, camping, etc. I would want him to be well read (enough to play Jeopardy) and not too conservative. I also love motorcycles, but am not a biker chick. I love clothes and like men that do also. I like going to a nice cozy restaurant all dressed up or in jeans. I enjoy my two boys, 22 & 24, and my 6 year old grandson, who is just adorable. I am good natured and slow to anger, and I'm told I have a fun sense of humor, but I consider myself to be a bit cynical. I don't like a man with a bad temper or a chip on his shoulder. I want to be able to talk to him about anything and I also want him to tell me how HE feels.! I am a good listener and would want the same treatment. Appearances are important, but he does not have to look like a model, just George Clooney..ooops. Basically, I would like to find a kind, gentle, strong, sensitive and funny guy. I have to add that I like a man that is good with his hands and can fix things.
Also, must like Jeff Beck! LOL I hope your out there!
NO EMAILS WITHOUT PHOTO PLEASE!
