Woman. 51 years old. Zodiac sign: Libra.
Looking for: man. In age: 48-58
Short version: Attractive, athletic, active lifestyle, educated, love libraries and bookstores, kids grown and successful, professional with a steady job, financially stable, love national parks and baseball games. Oh yes, good assistant deck builder. For a bit more detail, here we go...I am at a good place in life with a nice home and a steady job that, I believe, makes a difference. Financial responsibility is important to me. When faced with the choice of making a purchase or making a memory, I hope my sons will say I always chose the memory. They are wonderful young men ***are college grads and the youngest attends WSU. While not a super athlete by any means, I enjoy the peacefulness of hiking away from the noise of the city – Still, I am a NYC girl at heart and I always enjoy going to the theater. (Bonus points for men who wear ties.) A feminine tomboy, I have been known to get a manicure before heading off to the indoor rock gym. I also love to read - whether on a summer day in the backyard or, on a rainy winter day, wrapped in a WSU Snuggie (my son gave me that).Hmmm, what else?I don't consider patriotic liberal to be an oxymoron. One son is an Air Force officer, so I have a high regard for those who serve. I connect best with people who choose to make a difference, in some way, with their lives.So, what am I looking for? Chemistry, Character and Compatibility. Intelligence is a very attractive quality. So is kindness. I do work hard to watch my weight and stay in shape and find that I am attracted to the same. Common interests allow us to enjoy doing things together. I tried to hike every mile of trail in the park.I will dress up to go to the theater with you on Saturday night and then spend Sunday afternoon cheering for your fave team, but please, let it not be the Yankees.Nothing makes me happier than having all 3 sons at home. But, my job was to give them wings and they are, indeed, soaring. Distance is not necessarily a deal breaker and I look forward to meeting you soon. Addendum: this is a dating site - photos should be close up and RECENT - don't you agree? In the summer, I love to share an outdoor activity together - a ballgame; a concert; an urban hike; a bike ride and a picnic; Winter is harder, but catching a game at Big Al's while you teach me to shoot pool is always an option.

Looking for: man. In age: 51-61
I am honest, thoughtful, intelligent, generous, funny, and sensual in a down-to-earth kind of way. I have a very playful and passionate nature. I love being active - swimming, cycling, kayaking, camping - but those things are so much more fun with a companion. I'm looking for a best friend who will share in the fun of playtime as well as the occasional frustration of being a "grown-up," and who is open to growing into a permanent, mature relationship. I love music. I sing (well, I'm told) and can convince the untrained ear that I play the guitar. I have been singing and playing liturgical music most of my adult life. I listen primarily to classic rock and country but I can enjoy just about any genre at an outdoor venue. A concert under the stars is a little slice of heaven. Someday I hope to kayak out to Bear Island from the mainland. I started cycling again last summer. While I have always loved the outdoors, I have not always been this active. It has come as part of a conscious choice to be true to myself. I recently encountered this quote, which I really love:"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs...[And] if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly. " I have very mixed feelings about that. I have been teaching children with special needs for nearly thirty years. Love the job, love the kids, do not love the direction that politics and educational policy have taken in the past decade. Still not quite sure I want to be when (if?!) I grow up - so for now I'm happy to have a few more years to contemplate that. As I approach the end of my career, I find myself seeking out more challenges rather than less. I want to travel. I want to encounter other cultures, places I've never seen before. I want to use the skills that I've developed over the years in new ways. I am not young, gorgeous, or thin. I hope to find an affectionate best friend who will appreciate the sparkle in my eyes more than the wrinkles around them, and the sound of my laughter more than the measure of my thighs. I love music and the outdoors. An outdoor concert (I'll bring the picnic - we can munch and talk before and after!) sounds great, but I'm open to lots of options so long as it's public and we can talk.
