I am not into double standards, nor interested in a woman who expects me to make her whole or provide what she cannot. We will feel safe to discuss anything & everything. No issue is insurmountable if we care enough about each other & our relationship to calmly address everything while it is still small. Though you may fear this much vulnerability in a relationship, I will do all I can to help you feel safe. The more vulnerability we allow, the deeper the relationship grows. Depth has more value than the superficiality we see all around. My goal is to do all I can to show that you are special to me. I admit that this is selfish, for I will end up sharing in your unending happiness. When I talk about openness, you do not need to divulge every detail of your past. I just want a clear understanding of how those experiences have impacted you, giving me a better understanding of the person you are today. The more I understand, the more sensitive, creative, caring & playful I can be. I am looking for someone who is similar to me, not someone who expects me to complement her deficiencies or become her clone. I am an educated professional who lives a simple country lifestyle. I love nature, gardening, volunteering in my community, & the challenge of fixing broken things (no, I do not fix things that are not broken). I was raised Jewish but see myself as an agnostic now. I enjoy thought provoking philosophy, but not the dogma, fear & divisiveness of religion. I enjoy people who think, seeking what might work, not needing to be told what should be. I can respect differing beliefs, as long as you respect mine. I have never had any interest in tobacco or any other drugs & cannot remember the last time I even tasted alcohol. I prefer getting high on life, the beauty that surrounds us & the beauty that we will create together. I had a vasectomy, so children are out. I am very close to my son, who is away at college. If you have 1 child (16 years or older) still at home, that is acceptable to me. I am not into long distance relationships, so you live in the San Fernando, Santa Clarita or Antelope Valleys, unless you feel we are truly ideal for each other (if so, please explain this in detail). We all have our preferences, and I understand that your preferences are not a judgment of me, as mine are not a judgment of you. Chemistry is important in keeping energy flowing in a healthy relationship. I appreciate a partner who has a trim, toned body. I do not expect perfection, but a good effort is important to me. I enjoy a partner who is smaller than me (approximately 100# @ 5'1" + 5# for each additional inch of height). I am 6'/160#. I prefer natural cuteness, or even plainness, to plastic made-up Barbie doll glamour. I love smiles & I love kissing. Sensual intimacy is beautiful. I much prefer savoring the journey than rushing to the end. I prefer natural, simple & subtle & get turned off to extremes of any kind. I am more of a homebody than someone who travels, flaunts money or lives any wild lifestyle, though I am definitely not a hermit. I appreciate creative people & those who care beyond just themselves, more introverted than extroverted. We feel fulfilled but look forward to sharing special moments together. We are easy-going, tranquil, loving, sensual, playful & affectionate, focusing on what we bring to a relationship, not what we can get out of it (offering all we seek). We will share out of desire, not need, as active, equal partners. Health & fitness is important to us. I have a 13-year-old dog, but am allergic to cats. Living in the country is a bit more challenging than living in the city. "Hands on" type women (I designed/built my own home/farm) tend to thrive out here. They enjoy the challenge of learning how to do things rather than relying on others to do for them. They care about people, animals & our environment & want to share this love with a special partner. Show me that you read my profile (I ignore winks) & I promise a reply.
