Hi, I'm Sharzi...

It doesn't really take much to make me happy - it's the little things in life I treasure.

I'm very laid back and easy going, respectful, playful, love to tease, passionate about everything, and I have a childlike exuberance for life. I've been told I'm a lot of fun to be around, and truthfully, I can't imagine life not being fun... for me and for those I care about. I'm high energy most of the time, but I also like popping in a movie and vegging with the right person.

I love being around family, and entertaining! If you have kids or a large family, the more the merrier! :) I believe a relationship is a package deal.

My taste in music is all over the place... I hope you like seeing live bands as much as I do. My other tastes are varied as well...classy one day, jeans, tank and hoodie the next. I can adapt to just about anything... go to a benefit or out for a nice dinner one night, but the next day I could be jumping into a pile of leaves or getting my hands dirty doing something fun. It's all about balance.

As far as work goes, a living is not a life. I don't really care what you do, how much money you make, or all the things you've acquired. Do you live with honor? Are you down to earth? Are you honest, fun, caring, kind, genuine? That's what really matters.

I've included recent pictures (and I've listed my age as a few years younger because I prefer men a little younger than myself) and I update my pics often. If you don't have pictures, (within a year), and they aren't posted on your profile, I'm probably not going to trust you unless you have a very good reason not to have them posted. Also, I'm not perfect, so if you're looking for a waif-like woman, best to keep looking because this woman has meat on her bones. I'm thick, muscular, and curvy.

I'm fiercely loyal, and if I make a promise, I keep it. I say what I mean and I do what I say, honest to a fault, and looking for the same in you. I believe character is doing what's right even when no one is looking. I'm not into games of any kind except board or card games, pool, darts, the occasional game of chance, etc. I have virtually no temper at all (no yelling, name calling, etc), and if you do, please don't even waste my time.

We've all been hurt, right? Well, I don't dwell on the past and I'm not thinking much about the future. Instead, I'm finding the joy in this day. I will say though... I don't need people in my life who are out to deceive me, cause me pain, or use me. If you're looking for a buddy with benefits, married or have a girlfriend and looking to cheat... if you're romancing lots of women at the same time... keep walkin'. I'm not really interested in anyone who wants to sample the "dishes" at a hundred different restaurants or is always looking to "trade up."

I don't need to be rescued... I'm employed, resourceful, have a home, a full and meaningful life, a fun family and amazing friends. I'm looking for one good man, and I will appreciate the hell out of that... someone who fits into my life as much as I'll fit into his... you know, that *soft place to fall*. I'm interested in starting as friends and if there's chemistry and mutual interest, I'll give it my all. HONESTY is at the top of my list. I've met a whole lot of liars, cheaters, players, and frankly I'm really tired of that. So, if you're a good guy (with a bit of a bad side too), you've got Southern-type manners, you're *really* looking for a relationship and you know how to treat a woman right (a woman who will treat you right too), say hi and we'll take it from there.

I prefer the 42-52 age range, but open if there's an attraction. And, if you live more than 60 miles away, it's probably best to pass me by.

It's not about the where, it's about the who. As long as I'm with someone I like, I have fun anywhere. :) If I had to pick a place, anywhere that tempts my tummy as well as my senses... a quaint little place with mood lighting and soft music. I'm also more than happy with Tim Horton's or just sitting with a drink and watching a hockey game. :) Summer, I'm always up for anything outdoors... picnics, festivals, outdoor concerts, car/bike shows, and more. Take me to a car show, to shoot some darts, the zoo... doesn't matter, I'm going to have fun. :)

Oh, btw, I'm old school... if one person is doing the asking and the other person is doing the accepting, I don't care if it's coffee or fine dining... unless you're bringing along a briefcase and plan to discuss something work related... it's a date. Calling it a meeting is ridiculous... one of those games I don't buy into. The only time I'd call it a meeting is if I'm out and we happen to bump into one another. Meetings are business, this is personal... if you don't treat it that way, I never will.
