Hmm...here I thought I didn't have that much to write about, but look at this section - four paragraphs. I am an easygoing and friendly person, I am drawn to warm and thoughtful people, those who listen and really want to get to know me. Honesty and genuineness are important qualities to me. So too, are a sense of fun, a willingness to try new things and the ability to look at ideas from another's point of view. Just as these qualities are important for me to find in someone, they are ones that I hope that I embody as well. But...they are ideals. I don't know of anyone, myself included, who lives up to their ideals 100%, every day. We are, after all, human!

Photography is one of my main interests - there is always so much more to learn! I am interested in Emergency Management and Response, and I am beginning an 8 week introductory course in my town. Who knows where it will take me from there? It is important to me to be healthy and fit, so I eat well, get enough sleep, "power walk" and work out, drink weight-lifters' high protein shakes twice a day. I sometimes moan and groan about the exercise, but it's so important - it also blasts any stress right out of me.

Attraction is very important to me! It's one of those things that has to be there...or it doesn't work. I don't know about you, but I never seem to be able to predict that factor in advance. It is only when we meet in person that we will know if there is a feeling of electricity between us!

I do not correspond with married or separated men or anyone who does not actually have a photo posted. I do not go out with "younger guys" in their 20's, 30's or 40's. And, I don't tolerate bad treatment from anyone. Everyone is wonderful in their own way, but no one is appropriate for everyone. Other than that, I would probably like to get to know you!

On a first date, I would like to meet in a casual public setting...probably for coffee. Other than that, it doesn't matter what we do. It's the company that is important and it's a time for us to get to know one another - probably enough to know if we want to have that second date!
