Food for thought: Most men pursue pleasure with such breathless haste....that they hurry past it.... Soren Kierkegaard

READ THIS Profile has been updated and I'd like to put a face to the words on the page so a recent photo would be appreciated. If your initial contact does not include a photo which clearly shows your face, I know you'll understand when I don't respond...fair is fair. Please know that I do respond to all initial email (unless you say something really neanderthal like...
)
I do not wish to waste my time or yours so if you don't want to produce kids of your own in your future and your motivation to contact me is sincere I welcome your advances. If not, please move along, there's nothing here for you.
I have 3 kids whom I've raised on my own this past 13 years. They were my main focus but now that they are older and independent it's all about moi....
I am tired of being alone and this dating thing is getting tedious. Now I realize we have to start with dating but hopefully that will lead to my ultimate desire which is to meet my forever guy.
If you're still reading here's something about who I'm looking for. I'd prefer you to be a non-smoking, confident man who's looking for a woman to complement your life, not become it. I hope that you too desire a long term relationship but realize it takes time and commitment (ooooooohhhhhh are ya scared?
) to grow.
I find myself attracted to a man who is intelligent, well-mannered, well-dressed and reliable. I adore a man who can make me laugh. Someone who's light-hearted and fun, yet knows when to be serious. Appearances are important to me..not so much looks, but looking good. I take care of myself and I want my partner to do the same. Intelligent conversation arouses my interest. I appreciate wit, but not crudeness. I appreciate a man who can act with decorum in public (I do like PDA's though) but abandon himself to earthy lustiness in private.
Here's a bit about me: I know what I want and where my life's path is leading me...because I'm making the path, not following a pre-existing one. I am financially secure and emotionally stable. I own a couple of businesses and I also do contract work so...I work.....a lot...actually...too much...and I'd like to meet a man who'll make me want to work less and play more. I'm looking forward to meeting someone I adore and can't wait to see, to plan my future with, to travel with, to laugh with, to make dinner with, to hug, to kiss, to...you know....
Best described as a predictably, unpredictable, multi-faceted enigma. I can be wild and crazy, calm and demure, sophisticated and classy, down and dirty, a little girl, a mature woman. I'm judged more often than not by my appearance but you know what they say about books and their covers. Perhaps you should consider opening the book, reading a chapter or 2, you just might find yourself pleasantly surprised and wanting to read right through to the end. There really is so much more to me than meets the eye.
A few of my loves: music, dogs, hugs, sunshine, tropical places, Sophia Loren, the movies: Something's Gotta Give, The Bucket List, Mrs. Doubtfire, The Sandlot, (life was so much simpler back then..*sigh*), A Christmas Story (watch it every year), milk chocolate, maple walnut ice cream, red wines, happy people, Sunday mornings.
A few of my dislikes: "read, delete, without responding" (I think that's just rude), winter rain, cold weather, negative, dishonest, evasive, manipulative or unkind people, scooping the doggie doo...but as they say, ya gotta doo whatcha gotta doo...
), watching movies alone, making dinner alone, brussel sprouts, junk mail, people who rant at someone who's just trying to do their job...have an issue?...take it up with management!!
And as Sophia Loren once said: A womans' dress should be like a barbed wire fence....serving its' purpose without obstructing the view**************************************************************************************************************
Something to ponder: Life is like an onion: You peel it off one layer at a time, and sometimes you weep. Carl Sandberg

Three passions have governed my life:
The longings for love, the search for knowledge,
And unbearable pity for the suffering of [humankind].
Love brings ecstasy and relieves loneliness.
In the union of love I have seen
In a mystic miniature the prefiguring vision
Of the heavens that saints and poets have imagined.
With equal passion I have sought knowledge.
I have wished to understand the hearts of [people].
I have wished to know why the stars shine.
Love and knowledge led upwards to the heavens,
But always pity brought me back to earth;
Cries of pain reverberated in my heart
Of children in famine, of victims tortured
And of old people left helpless.
I long to alleviate the evil, but I cannot,
And I too suffer.
This has been my life; I found it worth living.
- Bertrand Russell (and me)

Always remember this: Guard well within yourself that treasure, kindness. Know how to give without hesitation, how to lose without regret, how to acquire without meanness. -George Sand
