Hi...I prefer tall men (6'0"-6'4") whose body type is "average" or "a few extra pounds". If you don't post a picture or if you answer "interests" with "I'll tell you later" or "motorcycle enthusiast", you may not receive a reply. Lastly, DO NOT ask me for my private phone number or email address if we have not met in person. My friends say I am trustworthy, honest, sincere, confident, open-minded, humorous, spontaneous, curious, caring, intelligent and reliable. On the private side, I am active, loving and affectionate, like to laugh and enjoy life, shy, sensual, truthful, sextual, cautious, romantic and passionate. I have a sarcastic sense of humor often sprinkled with double entendres and like to tease. I am not a drama queen and I don't carry any baggage. I don't do drugs or smoke and I rarely drink. My family is very important to me and will always come first. I have worked in law, interior design, hospitality (cruise lines) and, presently, as a health care aide. I like to cook (American, Chinese, Cuban and Italian) and would love to have a sous chef. If you play bridge, that's a big +. If you are willing to teach me to play golf, that's a bigger +. I am looking for a friend, companion, life partner, soulmate and husband who shares my values and interests. I believe the basis for a relationship is trust and that true love will grow out of it. I abhor and will not tolerate abuse of women, children and animals and I don't want to be controlled. I am comfortable with who I have become and who I am but feel that the right partner would make me a better woman. He should enjoy life and have a good sense of humor; know how to graciously and openly accept and return love; never, never lie to me about anything, large or small; come to know when I just need a hug or my hand held; and be my "confessor" to whom I can tell anything without fear of dismissal or rejection.
