In Her Own Words
About her
Pics taken July '23 to Mar '24, profile one March 24. I don't doctor my photos but they don't show my wrinkles, but they're there!
Ok, here goes: I'm in the market for some lusty romance; so chemistry/a sufficient spark is key. OR for friendship, if someone is local.
My wish list: A taller (5'10+) bit YOUNGER professional guy with his own home. No campervanners, triathletes, or teetotalers, thankyou. Not my bag, and I don't want to waste anyone's time. I need a guy who's lived, loved, lost, but remains spirited and hopeful.
I'm accomplished, intelligent, and interesting, with a youthful demeanour, and I need similar in a guy, please. I work for myself from home, which involves trawling the internet and analysing a broad range of things, so I spend a fair bit of time at my PC. I don't have hobbies as such but I LOVE a walk, love fresh air, and being out in nature, but am not overly into fitness. I tend toward the serious, but I also have a silly side and a whacky sense of humour. I don't cook (beyond basic dishes), as I don't enjoy it, but I eat pretty healthily. I don't especially like shopping. I watch some TV, but days can go by without my switching it on. I'm not on Facebook. I enjoy reading and writing (have penned a few things).
I'm unconventional as life dealt me different cards, and thus a twozy set-up, shared mealtimes, etc, is not for me. I'm utterly loyal & monogamous and would want the same but I've lived alone more years than I've lived with a man, so a live-in arrangement is not an obvious fit. So I need/want someone different: Someone accomplished, discerning, honest and intelligent who's also good in the the sack would be great :) And who's also lived alone for a while and is not fresh out of a relationship.
Lastly, at the right time, I would want to know a guy is free of any STIs before we jump into bed. It takes ten minutes to get a check.
Thank you for checking me out!
About her ideal match
I'm attracted to men who are accomplished and intelligent and who have an edge. My Mr Right-Enough is unlikely to have a regular type of job. He will more likely consider himself different, unconventional, hard to put in a mould, but operate with integrity and honour.
Turnoffs for me, in no particular order:
I move swiftly on when I see a photo of a guy:
a) holding a fish (What's that all about? "Thelma, I'm home" lol)
b) half-dressed or sloppily dressed
c) eating
d) posing with his kids
Also, if your profile is largely blank and/or contains lines such as 'anything you want to know just ask' please pass me by. The same goes for profiles without photos, or with photos that are clearly old and not a genuine reflection of how you look now. In a similar vein, the following do not constitute a message, lol
'Hi'
'Hello'
'u ok?'
'u wear skirts?'
'I would'
Finally, if I don't respond to a message, it may be due to distance being too far and/or I do not feel there would be sufficient common ground and/or chemistry. Thank you for checking me out!
