I truly am the catch of a lifetime (to borrow the fishing analogy) but it won't be easy to reel me in....are you interested in a tall, leggy, successful, highly self-confident, independent, intelligent and passionate woman? I am ready for love again. But only if the right man comes along. And the right man is someone who, like me,

1) Is committed to personal growth
2) Is emotionally open and available
3) Values integrity
4) Is mature and responsible
5) Is CONFIDENT and likes himself
6) Approaches life with a positive attitude
7) Is comfortable in his sexuality (and wouldn't dream of having sex without intimacy).
8) Is not intimidated by a strong, upfront, intense woman like me! (though, if the truth be known I am putty in the right man's hands...)

You are a highly self-confident, stable, well-educated man who is looking for a female counterpart who will enhance the full life you already enjoy...I truly like who I am, and, frankly, your approval of me is neither desired nor required...but your commitment to happiness definitely is! I want a man who also likes himself and has an active, interesting life. Renowned for my wicked sense of humour, you will be well on your way to capturing my interest if you can keep me laughing! What can I offer the right man? Loyalty (I am strictly a one man woman), passion, honesty, a lot of laughs, a willing ear...my heart and soul. I own my own home (which I share with a neurotic, but friendly, cat), have a terrific job and am stable in every sense of the word. Ideally, you are a Caucasian man in his 40's (though I won't shut the door on a man who is my age and in great shape like me), who is as tall or taller than I am and wants a life partner. I don't care what you do for a living or how much money you make. I am not interested in possessions. But since compatability is sooo important in the long term, keep in mind that I am a well educated WASP from an upper middle class family. So naturally I am hoping for a partner who shares my values, can hold his own during a conversation about current events (or anything else) and who can challenge me intellectually. I am a true blue Conservative - to me, a Conservative means being socially and fiscally responsible. You don't have to be a Conservative, but I will argue that you should be! And you are welcome to tell me why you think I'm wrong as I sure don't want a 'yes' man! Neither am I interested in GQ looks. I either feel chemistry or I don't, and whether or not a man is considered 'handsome' has nothing to do with it. I am more interested in a man's character than his looks. Having said that, the physical attraction MUST be there, as an active sex life is very important to me. I am not interested in men who hide behind beards, have tattoos, think a Harley is their reason for living and like to kill animals for sport (please get help).
In a few years I am going to retire. I want to travel the world for starters. And then I hope to settle down on a farm in the country and surround myself with animals (dogs, cats, horses, goats, chickens and...oh, and I have to have a turkey or two...they have such character!) That is my dream, and I fully intend on making it a reality. I envision lots of quality time with my pets, long walks and enjoying life (and sleeping in) with a great man. Don't let the clothes fool you - I am much more comfortable in shorts or jeans and my happiest memories usually involve messing around with animals in a barn somewhere! I don't worry much about my appearance, and I have never had a manicure or pedicure in my life. I prefer looking natural and healthy...and I am. And, frankly, I couldn't care less if the bed is made or not!
If you believe you and I are compatible, throw down that Canadian Tire flyer (as painful as that might be!) and drop me a line. I haven't had any luck here yet (though I have been contacted by some wonderful men), in the sense that the chemistry wasn't there for me. But I am an optimist! So, if interested, please don't delay. I have a few requests out of respect for your time and mine. Please do not contact me if you live outside the GTA, as I cannot relocate due to work and family commitments. Please send me photos if you would like to meet...and please send ones that clearly show me your face. If I am interested I will contact you within 24 hours. To be honest, I don't really believe the man I am looking for is here, and I will not waste another minute searching, chatting by e mail or even participating in the Forums. To me that is more time wasted indoors when I could be out meeting someone. But hey! I would love to be proved wrong! Many men have e mailed me describing me as a 'challenge' or as a daunting prospect. If that's how you feel, then click on. I have described myself honestly...if you want a wimp or a submissive lackey, I'm not for you! The funny thing is, I find I am usually the less dominant one in relationships! Call me old-fashioned but I don't initiate contact with men, so it is your move!
P.S. I do appreciate being a 'favourite' of so many, but you are wasting your time. I would never want to meet a man who simply wants to 'collect' me like a butterfly and hasn't the interest or courage to contact me.

I don't care what we would do on the first date...but I draw the line if it involves a bungee or a shark cage. A nice long walk would be nice or dinner at a great restaurant. Naturally I would hope for strong chemistry and if it was there...and I felt the usual signs of attraction (racing pulse, weak knees and burning cheeks!) then hopefully a second date would naturally follow. And then...who knows?
