What to say here is the hard bit seeing as this part tends to be filled with wishful thinking by the author rather than anything factual or true on places like this lol
But for what its worth here goes
I've been single for about 5 or 6 years now and live with my two teenagers (well strictly speaking they live with me if you're going to be pedantic hehe).
I'm not specifically here for anything in particular and nor am I specifically here trying to avoid anything which either will or wont make sense to you.
I'm pretty self sufficient and dont "need" anyone or anything, but havent been on my own so long that I've forgotten the fun and enjoyment talking to someone new or spending time with someone significantly special brings either
Initially I am just looking for interesting people to talk to when I'm not doing anything else, openminded, humourous, witty, sarcastic, deep, frivolous, silly, topical or theoretical is all good if theres a fun cander and flow to it
I'm quite blunt and tend to say what I'm thinking when I think it, extremely open, honest, easy going and laid back perhaps all to a point nearing being a fault at times lol as well as being a good judge of people, reading between the lines, grounded and an ardent realist (sometimes veering towards cynical perhaps)
Its taken me a lot of time and effort to get to where I am and to have what I've got and on the one hand you could be forgiven for thinking maybe I should be looking for someone to share it with
But theres two problems with that train of thinking
1. Even at my age it shouldnt have taken me THAT long to have walked from the kettle to the computer chair with my cuppa,
and
2. the chair is too small to share and so is the cuppa, its mine, mine I tells ya get yer own,,,,JEEZ!!

I also have impeccable manners and have been known on several occassions to hold doors open for women. I find this is the easiest way of getting them to leave especially in the winter but when that fails I open the windows too, well otherwise they decimate your teabag stash innit
My hobbies include badger painting, ant tipping and breating (both inwards and outwards)
I also have some psychic abilities. I can without touching it in anyway melt icecream in a bowl by merely looking at it. This usually takes about 5 minutes on a hot summers day. I can also read peoples minds without them having to say a word, infact once I psychicly intuited that an ex of mine had a bone to pick with me so instantaneously that she had probably only been screaming at me at the top of her voice for as little as 15 minutes before my "gift" gave me the heads up
Oh yeah, as much as I hate to brag I also have perfect legs, I know this because if they were even half an inch shorter I wouldnt be able to touch the floor when i stood up, and at just a half inch longer I would be walking in a permanent crouch, ergo, hitherto, forthwith by a process of entirely logical deduction the ONLY possible conclusion is that they are indeed absolutely perfect
I also totally love animals, so much that I love them just as much whether theyre stewed, boiled or fried, theyre grrrreat
Stunned into a squelchy puddle of amazement yet?
Anyhoo, if your still awake and fancy a natter mail away, after all whats the worst that can happen? Otherwise good luck on here irrespective of what youre searching for and heres hoping that if you find it that it turns out to be what you expected it to be

As a trailing note I dont find deeply rooted psychological problems, trust issues, paranoia, princess syndrome, excessively high or low self images or any of the other seemingly common groups of "issues" found on places like this appealing in the slightest
I realise that rules out about 99% of the membership, but if someone isnt at least fairly comfortable with themselves why would I enjoy their company when they dont? If someone still has issues to deal with from previous relationships deal with them FIRST, if someone cant trust their own judgements and therefore cant trust anyone thats not something I or anyone sane would endure
It seems ordinary, relaxed, reasoned, non bitter, balanced, chilled women are becoming an endangered species at times, but sadly its the ONLY type of woman I would want to spend my time talking to, but in the interest of perpetuating that species I'll start saving my energy
UPDATE
For those of you (and it seems there are many) who are gramatically or intellectually challenged and people devioud of any degree of a sense of humour,.,,,,,
my username ISNT a "rude" one at all, learn english as a first language, buy yourself a dictionary (thats not a rude word either btw) or just go grow a sense of humour (your therapist can tell you how)
Oh, and another whinge lol, I dont display a public pic because I dont want to, its a choice you know. I do have one on here and always send one if asked for
But as not having one makes a LOT of people not even want to chat or respond, and as there seem a lot who assume it MUST mean us lowly "orrid" no pics are hiding something thats more than enough reason to stay without one really as far as I can see
Primarily because I dont tend to get on with paranoid, narrow minded judgemental types at all really, so it would seem that changing so I did have a pubclicly displayed pic would make it far more likely I'd end up wasting my and their time chatting till that particular trait came to light
So many thanks for those who have taken the time to mail me pointing out that not having one "cuts my chances", but to be honest it really seems like it just UPS my chances of talking to people whos personalities I'd find as attractive as the prospect of having my tonsils removed via my anus and without anaesthetic really lol
So I think I'll stay as I am if thats all the same
Hopefully this will stop a very "deja vu" esque repetitive conversation from keep cropping up on here otherwise I might have to just opt for the copy/paste approach
