I am witty with a sense of humor but not at others expense. I want to be around people who "get it", like to laugh, not uptight. In life there are people who tell jokes and those that make their own. I prefer the latter. Life is short when you get right down to it. When it is all said and done, I would like to be able to say that I enjoyed many meaningful conversations and that I touched the lives of many people in a positive way. Everyone who crosses our path teaches us something. Taking good care of myself is important, not just outwardly but with regard to intellect as well. I value integrity, seriously, what is the point if you can't look people in the eye? I guess with the word integrity I can easily lead into what I like in the people I ociate with. With friends I value honesty, who doesn't? I don't need a lot of friends just a few I can rely on to be honest and line me out if they see the need. Here goes the tough part...regarding men. I like to think that there is a man out there that shares my views on relationships. My views are that while I am in a relationship it has to be monogamous. I don't want every minute of your time and I am not looking for marriage but I will devote myself to you. In my eyes you will rock my world or you won't be an intimate part of it. I will not leave you wondering how you rank with me. You will know how I feel when I look at you, touch you and more...I will not notice other men because my heart would not want to. On the surface I may appear to be "what you see is what you get" but I can ure you there is much more to me. It will only be revealed to the right man. Yes, I do realize I have better odds of being struck by lightening! I am not materialistic and only wish for health and happiness for my loved ones and myself. I take a holistic approach to caring for myself but I am not a fanatic, I know modern medecine is necessary. I love the mountains and would take off and hike/camp for a week with the right person. I appreciate life, family and friends. I have respect for our earth and do what I can to nuture/respect it. If you have gotten this far reading my profile I will guess that you feel there may be some common ground. I would like to add that I feel very strongly about dating someone close to my age. I would not be interested in dating anyone 50+. That is simply how I feel.
