So what if I need to use a walking stick sometimes..!! On my beautiful dark chocolate scale could I have an eleven please...!! Please do not ask me to settle for any thing else as my ideal partner has NO wish to come to England and expect me to spend FIVE years working tirelessly on his visa. He, like me, should have no wish to expire in England..!! Married.? Separated.? Are you living overseas..? Need a visa..? UNDER 38.? Broken down 50.? Really 60.? Really 70.?!! Loose/open relationship.? Looking for finance.? African connection.? Lesbian/ bisexual .? Do you have a relative at deaths door needing money for doctors fees..? Dysfunctional web-cam disorder.? Have you been robbed of your life savings..? I am really not interested. Please do not see that as "foreplay" as I am really "not" interested. There just seems to be a disconnect regarding proper communication etiquette. Having dispensed with the communal pleasantries perhaps we could proceed at a respecatble pace to the main event..!! Strong soul sister looking for a real fine strong soul brother. (Please note this genre does not include "the white man" wanting to date a black woman) Strength is in unity. Only the truly serious need reply. It never ceases to amaze me how far you can strive with the right partner... SO ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS FIND THIS PERSON RIGHT..?!! My ideal partner should still have all his own teeth (so elders & those of you embroiled in a mid life crisis, please take the hint...) He would have a thoughtful approach to making a woman feel special. A calm way of dealing with important issues. A mixed bag personality made up of honesty & warmth, loyalty & inner strength, genuine love & affection & of course the iconic razor sharp sense of humour... I am open to relocation.... Preferably whilst I can still enjoy life... Should you choose to accept this mission, I am not looking for anything name "ting a ling"... Let's be honest we as human beings are lead by the visual appearance to some extent SO; Mr approaching people with your no picture self take heed; No picture, No thank you.. THAT'S REAL..
