Single. Interested in meeting people for friendship and meeting people for networking

Hometown

Places I've been

I have traveled extensively in the US,(I have been to, and enjoyed nearly every state) Canada, and Mexico. I now reside in the Mojave Desert, halfway between LA and Vegas. (Exit the I15 at Ghost Town Rd, take a left, if you pass the cow with one blue eye...you've gone too far)

More about me

• THAT ONE IN A MILLION MAN.... 

(Take a deep breath...this gets long-winded)

The road behind is longer than the one ahead.... so I will speak my mind and not waste time...yours or mine. I still have a lotta life left in me, and I want to enjoy it to the fullest with someone who wants to share it with me.

I have many things going for me; I'm healthy as a horse, cute as a bug's ear, and smart as a whip. (I realize this is shameless self-promotion, but the guy I am looking for will forgive me for it!)

OK...Let's cut to the chase...I've tried every matching service available on the internet (that was free). I've answered countless e-mails, sat through endless IM hours, and endured every variety of psycho-babble imaginable...only to discover that if you take a heretofore, verbally anemic male population, give them a computer, webcam, and instant messaging service...in their eternal quest for sexual gratification ...voila! they become almost eloquent!

Am I missing something here? I am a red-blooded all-American woman with normal needs and the usual desires...but somehow becoming intimate within the first five minutes of meeting someone, who goes by the name of SEXBEAST is not what I consider a fulfilling relationship. (besides, I don't think I can type fast enough to make it even minimally rewarding) and they'd probably just roll over and turn off the computer afterwards anyway...

I understand life has become unbelievably fast-paced, and we've learned to take shortcuts just to keep up...but there must be someone out there who, like me, would rather walk the walk than talk the talk, and finds real human contact to be a richer experience and prefers it as their dating style of choice.

The other day, while applying my lipstick in front of the mirror it hit me! I was actually doing THIS for a Dell! Getting dressed and putting on make-up for a computer! I had sat my butt in front of that infernal monitor since the end of summer, looking for 'Mr. Right', and had only succeeded in gaining ten pounds and widening my ass! Wonderful!

I decided then and there to draw the line and to enumerate up front, some bare-minimum prerequisites, describe a few of the qualities I find desirable, and to announce from the gate that I am only interested in forming a long-term loving, monogamous, and intimate friendship/partnership. If you think you can't do it...don't even try! Oh..and if you are married...go buy your wife some flowers! Sooo...here goes:

1.I'm looking for a guy roughly in his 50's (ageless and timeless).

2. No birthmark in the shape of an albatross across his forhead.

3. No more than ten fingers or toes.

4. Is interested in someone from his own generation, is not  'between jobs', on parole, and does not prefer a key to a q-tip.

5. Doesn't have to be nudged further up the food chain.

6.Must be able to win me in a game of pool at least half of the time.

7. Should have equivalent IQ, plus or minus a point or two. (I moved up from imbecile to moron last week. I am now working on idiot, because I hear the village is looking for one.)

8. A great sense of humor... and can make me laugh out loud at least once a day. (laughter being the key to my heart)

9. Thinks two can live as cheaply as one, or else be in a tax bracket that doesn't care.

10. Should be a well-rounded mix of educated, street-wise, mellow, savvy, articulate, avant-garde, earthy and sweet. (sounds like a bottle of wine...huh?)

Financially, at this time, I am not able to make much of a contribution...but I'm a helluva workhorse!

"Money may be the husk of many things...but not the kernel. It brings food, but not appetite, medicine, but not health, acquaintances, but not friends, servants, but not loyalty, days of joy, but not peace or happiness" ~Henrik Ibsen~

I'd like someone who made me laugh alot, made me think alot, and just plain made me alot! If I could rub a lamp...he would be easy to look at...easy to get along with....and ummm...EASY!

It would be nice to spend time with someone I could have fun with, someone I could admire, and someone who earned and deserved my respect. Another foolish soul who has suffered all the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, and still has enough left to give it one more shot.

I am just me.....'warts and all'....and it would be great to know someone still liked me....not in spite of our differences...but because of them.

~If you accept me at my worst...you deserve me at my best~

I have a gut feeling that there is someone out there who really feels like 'home', and I'm not willing to settle for anything less.

If you have love in your life, it can make up for many things you lack...without it...everything else is not enough.

In a nutshell:

I enjoy the poems of Emily Dickenson...my favorite book is 'The Prophet' by Kahlil Gibran. I love the roar of the ocean....the smell of clean sheets ...taking a bite out of a Krispy Kreme donut...the wind in my hair....buying tools at Sears...a falling star....going shopping at antique stores for nothing in particular...
waking up next to someone I love....the sound of my poker machine paying off...a great kiss...
and being with someone who doesn't mind the little girl inside me coming out to play once in awhile.

I'm anxious to see the fate (the one I make) that destiny has in store for me, and the man I am looking for will know immediately that he figures into it.

Before I reach my 'final destination', I want to know that love is real. I want to meet someone who takes my breath away, and them be head over heels in love with me, and neither of us afraid to show it. (A girl can dream, can't she?)

I consider a man very sexy who likes to share the kitchen, along with good conversation over a glass of wine, with the sound of a sax playing in the background. The recipe for some interesting evenings at home.

Now tell me about you...
