Most people say I don't fit your typical 'girly' mould... I'd rather mow the lawn than wash dishes, renovate rather than do laundry, put the garbage out rather than clean the washroom or do laundry (that is not to say I don't do any of the above, I just would prefer to do other things...LOL)

I am a hardworking, forthright individual who wears her heart on her sleeve, has struggled and overcome everything put in her path, a survivor (more like a thrivor)... Cute, devilishly funny, wicked sense of humor and yet sensitive as they come, been hurt once or twice, don't carry any more or less baggage than the next girl (they are all lying if they say they don't have any) at least I am truthful...
Sensous and sensual, intimacy is very important to me, emotional, physical and spiritual...

What I want? a strong man, with strong values, someone who can keep up with me, who is willing to push me when I get stubborn and yet cradle me when I need it... I want to be swept off my feet, fall madly in love and settle into a wonderful friendship and love that will stand the test of time...
I should put it out there, I am almost done raising my daughter she is 16 and am looking for a partner in life~ that is a partner for me, I don't mind kids in fact am great with them, I just feel that it is my turn to be happy and have adventures, with less responsibilities...

You should
a) be emotionally present
b) have a great sense of humor
c) have a sense of wonder at the world and universe
d) be confident but not****
e) work hard, play hard and yet be able to just hang
f) be affectionate, passionate, sensual, physically demonstrative
g) be supportive and loving, have tons of patience and be willing to be my
champion/ knight in dinted and scuffed armour
h) be physically active and have a sense of adventure/ willingness to travel
i) be loyal and faithful and believe that monogamy is important
j) have a freaky side, not be too uptight... or ridgid
k) want to be with the person I am, not the one I will be or was...
or what you think I can be...

A bit about me...
I love outdoor adventures, canoeing, kayaking, hiking, camping, being outdoors... I am not your traditionally roled female, I work in the trades (I am a welder) and work with my hands, I am tough when and where I need to be and can be a super sensitive and sweet girl... I prefer flip flops to shoes, jeans to skirts, no fuss hair (I will probably be ready for our date before you...) wear little or no make up... look 5-10 years younger than I am... I can clean up well, and do well in 'high' society, I just choose to be more relaxed...
I want to travel, see the world, complete my bucket list, help a turtle, save a dolphin... live life to its fullest... How about I save some for you to get to know??

Wow this is such a loaded topic... movies? nah can't talk and get to know the person... coffee? okay but in a Timmy's?? pass... a walk? good, you can actually keep moving, look at the person and away (helps ease the early awkwardness)...
Personally I would enjoy doing something totally different~ glow in the dark Mini Putt, Go-Karting... a balloon ride?? horseback riding??
