I'm a feisty, playful, sweet and vivacious redhead, never considered boring, who has a hearty laugh and warm, inviting smile, all my own/original body parts, and tries to see humor in most situations. Originally from the Bronx, but have lived in NJ, MA, NH, and now in my 18th year in NC.

Well-traveled (~40 countries and islands, same again for US states), golf (poorly, but love the carts!), love to cook and bake and do other "girly" stuff, but I am also not afraid of getting my hands and clothes dirty. I kick serious butt in Scrabble, suck at Sudoku, mow my own weeds, and battle mosquitoes and yellowjackets, sometimes successfully. Very real, non-BS, a little bit of a smartaleck and goofball, NY sense of humor (whatever THAT means), irreverent, impatient, opinionated, pretty adventurous, great conversationalist, non-therapied, non-medicated, NON-DRAMA. PHEW! I'm EXHAUSTED after that list! My age is true and the photos are fairly recent.

I'm looking for the same thing most women are - nonbinding underwear, shoes that don't pinch, the perfect shade of lipstick, and a gum whose flavor lasts. OH!! You mean my Significant Other!? YOU: Sincere, want to spend quality time with that "special someone", clean-cut, smile/laugh easily, kind, humorous, affectionate (a kiss, touch or a "look"), financially secure, appreciative of waking up every morning (it sure beats the alternative). PHEW! Enough adjectives for you? Successful in your chosen profession, ambitious but not ruthless. I'm not big on earrings (or other pierced body parts, even though it DOES include jewelry) or long hair; a tattoo is OK, I guess, just depends. Goofiness is great! Lastly, you should have a good relationship with your family, and love animals, though not in the Biblical sense. Strange laws, huh?

Something low pressure - lunch, maybe a drink/glass of wine after work, or coffee/dessert, depending on the time of the date. Alternatively, maybe something active like hitting a bucket of balls at a driving range. (I can use some help with my swing!) You bring the insect repellent - remember, I'm not always successful at battling the mosquitoes!
