hello! i am a tall, strong woman who enjoys a simple life in the WV mountains.

i enjoy old movies (and new ones!)and most music (sorry rap fans, to me, rap is not music).i enjoy nascar(i learned to love auto racing as a child-it was my fathers passion) and the wonderful mountains of WV thrill me daily(i am native to the flat lands of MD, near DC). i have lived in WV for over 20 years, and love my adopted home state.

my children are grown and on their own, my animals are well behaved, i have a part time job that supports me, and i spend my time enjoying life.i am not worried abt what i own (or what you own)- i know i am blessed in life, even tho i am missing someone to share with.

i dream of a man that is abt my age, as tall or taller than myself and somewhat local. he should be proud not arrogant, strong not violent, happy not insane..

~~~~whats a REAL man in my eyes???~~~~
~a real man is a man who knows how to treat a woman.he doesnt expect sex or anything more than the chance to meet her to begin with.
~a real man understands just meeting online doesnt make us 'the perfect couple' or that she 'must be desperate'.
~a real man does what he says, if he says he 'will call' he does, and if he feels he may not be interested in continuing, he is able to say so.
~a real man isnt hiding from a wife or gf, isnt telling tales to make himself seem more desireable, isnt ashamed of who he is-flaws included.
~a real man takes the time to care for himself and his life. he has not afraid to be vunerable, and he is also comfortable in the role of protector.
~a real man knows how to except rejection, and knows it is better to reject someones advances than to continue with insincerity.
~a real man is rare, and very special, and very desirable.
(thank you to the person here that asked me to define my desires.*smiles*)

~for my dear friend Bonnie,who lost the fight but resides now in a higher place; and Marc, who fights this battle daily; and every other soul it has touched.~

the best first dates start and end with smiles.

and the very best first date is the last first date.


~~~~~~~~~~~~and now for the WARNINGS!!!~~~~~~~~~~~~
~the IM thing here takes a few minutes to open. if you dont have the time to wait for it to open please dont try it to begin with.
~if your too busy making up BS to feed people online to remember who you really are, dont bother me.
~if you have to use old pics to attract others.. you live in the past and need to work on your reality issues before you approach others.
~and finally, if you are soooo lame rejection makes you need to block someone, block me now. youre a waste of cyber ink!
thank you!
