I'm a self-sufficient female looking to find that someone to share life with. You don't need to be perfect, I'm not, but the less baggage the better. I don't have any so leave yours at the door if you please. Update: 03/09/2008 Ok, you've read the above but I feel the need to add some qualifications here: 1 - Do NOT, I repeat, do N-O-T stand me up. Nothing annoys me more than making arrangements to meet someone and they don't show. Now, if you have a legitimate rea for it -- your dies, your car breaks down, you forget to set your clocks ahead -- fine, all you need to do is call me and let me know you're either not going to make it and would like to reschedule or you're having problems and [B]will[/B] eventually be there. But BE THERE, don't just not show up. It's ish, dis-courteous and not necessary. I'm pretty flexible and can deal with just about any situation as long as I know about it! 2 - I'm not here for your money. I have my own. I don't need or want yours. Deal with it! 3 - I'm no Ms. America. Never have been, never will be. I don't have blonde hair, I don't want blonde hair. I'm a bit over the ideal weight I'd like to be but I wear it well and you can't tell it. I've been told I have great legs, tits that are the perfect handful and an ass that doesn't quit. So, deal with the little bit of extra padding fellas, I do! 4 - Be honest! I can't stress this enough. I don't care *what* you do, I don't care how much money you make, I don't care what you drive. I'm [B]not[/B] that shallow. As I said above, I'm not here for your money, I don't want or need it! I am here for your perality, your ability to make me laugh, your ability to show me a good time -- be that in or out of the bedroom! and finally, and if you've gotten this far, that says something about you... 5 - Gentlemen, BE a Gentleman! I'm *not* going to have sex with you on the first date, and maybe not even the second. I will, however, get to know you, the [B]real[/B] you and if we click, great, we'll get up off the couch and head for the bedroom. If we don't, oh well, it was nice to meet you and I truly hope you find what you're looking for. Now, assuming you've gotten this far, just one more thing. I am a real woman, with real feelings and while I don't let those out all that often, they are there. I don't play games -- I didn't in high school and I certainly don't now. I'm 39, I'm single and I'm not looking to change you. I will take you as you are as long as you accept me for the same. I'm not perfect, I don't claim to be, but I do have morals, I do have the ability to be courteous and I don't/won't be treated like some second rate door mat in order for you to get your jollies off. If that's your thing, see that little link above, click on it and move on. If you can fit into these criteria then scroll down some and email me. You never know what it might lead too.
