I think the most important thing to say about myself right up front is that I believe that a woman should be treated as an equal. I have no patience or tolerance for the mentality that a women should walk behind and not beside a man. I say this first because I would truly like to find someone special in my life, a friend, a companion, someone I can be proud of and love unconditionally and i think a major issue when people first get together is the issue of am I going to lose myself my individuality, my friends, will I be able to talk openly about myself, my thoughts, my feelings, my wants and needs, are the things I love and cherish going to be discarded in order to be with this person or in other words will I be walking behind instead walking beside this person. Compassion, Empathy, Devotion, Tenderness, Love, all emotions in a relationship start with respect, respect for oneself and respect for the other person, I believe that.

As for myself I am an artist first and foremost I absolutely love and devour life, I am proud of myself and the work that I do. I believe in unyielding integrity and have amazing friends that I absolutely trust and would do anything for. I admire no one more than my father and try and live my life with the same honesty and integrity that he has.

As far as turn-offs go, or things that I truely can’t stand I would say that racists and bigots would top the list I dont think there
is anything quite as ugly as hate coming out of a womans mouth. I have friends of all persuasions races & orientations and would like to be able to take the person I care about with me and not be in fear of what she may say, long story short I wont date you if you hate !
The other thing I find intolerable are people that see the world as a cup half empty instead of half full, I am an idea person and a go getter, negativity, skepticism, general malaise and I dont get along
