I am a fun-loving woman, with a keen sense of curiosity and adventure in trying new things. Yes, I am 50, so I have experienced enough of life to know what I like and don't like. However, I am very open minded when it comes to religion, politics and sex (no, I am not easy...am very particular).

I am not seeking a long-term relationship, but if it happens, it happens. I like men who are confident, but not boastful, financially stable, but not rich, good-looking, but not lady-killers, intelligent, but not condescending. An open, curious mind is also high on my list of likes to have. I prefer men who are 40-55 and live within 75 miles.

Take a look at my chemistry profile if you think you are really interested in me. It is right on target, except that I am a little less easy going than it states. I love to relax and have fun, but am also as much of a do-er as I am a thinker. I am very determined and do finish projects to completion on a regular basis.

I have a child who lives with me, but she should be going off to college next year. I also have 3 dogs and 2 birds, so you must love animals to hang with me:).

Now to the hard part...no offense, but done the "few extra pounds" thing. It's a turn off guys. I work hard to look good and expect you to do the same. After several disappointments, I can say that you shouldn't contact me unless your pics are current and I can recognize you from across the room by them.

Meet in a public place, that's quiet enough we can get to know each other.

Please, don't contact me unless your pics are current and I can recognize you from across the room by them. Yeah, obviously this is important to me. I look like my pics, do you?
