Date women from United States / Arizona, 52 year old

Date someone special from Arizona, United States. I am looking for a partner/friend who will live life to the fullest with me. My Dad used to say that I should have been born 100 years ago because I like simple things - hiking, camping, gardening, yoga, climbing, good times with friends and family, and a nice meal at home by the fire. I am passionate about music, singing and dancing. I love musical men. I want a man who wants to enjoy life, who is honest and trusting and willing to communicate. I plan on remaining active and would like a partner who is health oriented also. I love romance, and love to be treated like a lady. In return, I enjoy taking care of a man.

Meet someone special from United States. Hello, Sweet with a big heart is how my friends would describe me. I am a giver not a taker. I believe in doing the right thing, have good morals and values. I like to laugh and can laugh at myself. I am caring, positive, energetic, an animal lover, have a year old puppy I recently rescued. I am looking for that special someone to enjoy life with. Someone to share daily life with, the ups and downs that comes with life, the being together, weekends away, vacations, cooking together, dining out, movies, concerts, everything, a partner. Someone that wants that one on one relationship. A man that is caring, has ambition, good values, a sense of humor, romantic, cares about his appearance. A man that has integrity.
I grew up in an Italian family. Pasta on Sunday! Family and friends are an important part of my life. I raised my son alone, and am very proud of the person he is today.
I believe looks are only skin deep, my mother told me that! Chemistry is important, but whats inside makes someone attractive too!
If any of what I said sparks your interest great! If not good look in your search.

Date a soulmate from United States. Roll with the flow. Easy going. Sexy. Smart. Low maintenance but do like to dress up at times. Love to socialize. Love to laugh. Love my 2 boys. I'm very caring (probably too caring). Want a companion to share my life and loves to be with me. I can be a stay home type but like to get out sometimes. Love all sports, especially basketball. Love the outdoors, boating, camping, 4 wheeling: sandrails/quads/motorcyles (usually I just hang on to the man driving:) From the midwest but have lived in Arizona 27 years.
UPDATE:
My friend talked me into going onto match.com 2 days ago. So now that I have browsed, I see that most people write a lot more about themselves then I did :)
So here goes. I was in a relationship for 25 years and left my husband 1 year ago. (I should have left alot sooner.) I have two boys 17 and 14 and now that they are teenagers, I find I have a lot more time on my hands (they aren't needing mom like they use to!)
Feels funny to be "out there" now again after all these years, but I was surprised how lonely I felt after leaving my husband because I always felt so alone with him! The reason I left him was because it got so he did not share in my and the boys lives or activities and didn't want to do anything. I dreaded the thought of going through the rest of my life with someone who didn't even want to sit and have a conversation, much less go out and enjoy life.
So that's what I'm looking for. Someone who wants to share and discuss things, have fun and see what's out in the world.
BTW: I have been told I do not look my age. Lucky me.

Meet a woman from United States. I know I'm taking a bit of a risk here, but I'm going to start with my shortcomings -- so you know what you're getting into: I do, on occasion, swear -- the word a** is simply not leaving my vocabulary any time soon, it's just so useful in far too many instances, and there are times when only dropping the occasional "F-bomb" will make me feel better. I also have a tendency to drive a little bit too fast, even when I'm not in a hurry, and generally speaking, I'm not a morning person -- I stay up late fairly often, and sleep in. Don't get me wrong, I love watching the sunrise -- I'll just probably have to stay up for it. So if you're in bed by ten every night, we probably wouldn't suit.
Now for my good qualities: I'm not the least bit materialistic -- I don't care about the size of your bank account, where you live, or what type of car you drive. I have a big heart, and would do anything to help someone in need -- I've actually given a complete stranger my last $. I'm sharp-witted, creative and intuitive, and my friends say I'm pretty darn funny. I'm classy yet down-to-earth, a bit mischievous, and ready to take off for an adventure on a moment's notice (and adventure for me has included everything from a stay at the Ritz Carlton Laguna Niguel to camping through Europe for seven weeks -- twice!) I love off-the-beaten-path destinations, good food (fine dining to greasy spoons) a really good story, and I even like sports (especially if you'll be patient and explain the intricacies.)
My passions are people, and experiencing life -- I value memories over things. I have an amazing memory, especially for trivia -- and I'm a great problem-solver. I also possess an uncanny talent for picking exactly the right Tupperware container after eyeing the leftovers. I'm easygoing and undemanding, and unpredictable in a good way. I'm as loyal and trusting as a Golden Retriever, and can sometimes be just as goofy! I'm active, but let's be honest ... I work out for the benefits, not because it's my favorite pastime!! I'm tactile, passionate and like to show my affection for my man; and I look for a man who also enjoys connection and passion.
My ideal match? Who knows. It's mainly about chemistry. But if I tried to envision him, this is what he might be like: fairly fit, active and health conscious, but not a fanatic. A great smile is always nice, but sometimes a crooked or goofy grin can just knock me sideways. I prefer a man who's attractive in a more rugged, manly way, and I have to admit, I've always had a "thing" for tall guys. Can't explain it, but there it is. It'd be perfect if he''s a good conversationalist, and doesn't always have to have the last word. And if he can fix and/or build things, well, that always impresses the heck out of me! I guess you could say that I'm looking for the yin to my yang, the man who isn't necessarily identical to me in every way, but who complements me. (And if he compliments me every now and then, that's O.K., too!)
Now, assuming that you've read this far, there are just a couple more things: First, everything you've read here is 100% true and accurate. There'll be no surprises when we speak or meet -- in fact, I've been told I don't photograph well, and I'm better-looking in person. The other thing is about the Winks: I just don't get them -- if you live outside of Arizona, please DON'T send them, and if you like what you see here, the least you can do is take a minute and send me a few words in an e-mail. I'd do the same for you. And finally .... "Each of us determines who walks into our life .... it's up to you to decide who you let stay, and who you refuse to let go." Thanks for stopping by, and the best of luck to you in your search.

. As much as I enjoy my kids, they are all out of the house, and now it's my time! Looking for a man to share my life with. I have a wonderful job, but love leaving at the end of the day. Blessed with 'naturally slim' genes, so I only walk or ride a bike for fun, not because I have to burn off that donut (or 2) I ate for breakfast. I like doing about anything on the water, grew up on boats. I am a pretty settled person and comfortable in this stage of my life. I am confident, strong minded, witty,and intelligent, who wants someone who can take care of me when I need it, and will let me take care of him when he needs it. Being from the Deep South, I appreciate manners and respect. I'll spend time in the kitchen with you while you cook, (bonus points if you can pour wine while you cook) or we cook together (I can pour too), and afterwards, I'll clean up- or we eat out! Movies, sporting events, theater, etc can keep my attention for a couple of hours at a time. I can spend hours shopping - while you golf... unless it's a trip to Home Depot or Lowes - then I'm in with you! I love people watching, especially with an ice cream cone in my hand! I like watching sports, but not all the time, let's have some variety! OK, I really like football! Anything on the water, I grew up on boats, like horses, easy hiking, love seeing the wonders of our beautiful outdoor world. I am looking for that special someone who can make my heart jump when he comes through the door. I enjoy a closeness between two people, and yes, it is a chemistry thing! I joined in hopes of finding an honest high quality man for a monogamous relationship. I want someone in my life with day to day interaction, not a once a week date. so please be local. I do have children, although older, you must understand the situations that pop-up. I have no problem if you have kids - even young ones! I am a happy, healthy, honest person in search of the same. Of course no one is perfect, but you must be happy with your life and job, clean cut, nice smile and happy eyes. Honesty is definitely important. Someone who is willing to take it slow and get to know each other. Someone who is affectionate, passionate, secure, confident but without the ego, romantic, and one who knows when to be funny and when to be serious!
I'm hoping to find a partner for every day life, a man that can make me laugh, and kill spiders and scorpions for me!

. If I had to describe myself in one word it would be 'comfortable'...its is how I feel about myself and how you will feel around me. I am witty with a nice, warm, positive attitude and ready smile; a calm demeanor and someone you can count on when the going gets tough. I always look for the good in people and situations. I don't do drama, am not phony or fake (maybe the blonde hair has a little bit of help :-)) and have no baggage...the past is the past and there is no reason to dwell on it. Extremely honest and a good sense of integrity. I am affectionate, passionate, sensual and a nurturer. Even though I enjoy the finer things that life offers, I don't need posessions to feel loved...I would much rather get that special feeling by spending a nice quiet Sunday morning together, hang out with our friends, do something outdoors, or share cooking duties in the kitchen (and if you would grill for me, that would be great...I cannot grill for the life of me LOL!). But that doesn't mean I am boring...far from it. I am just easy to please.
I would like to meet a man that is confident, intelligent, sincere about being in a relationship and loves to laugh (and can make me laugh). I like to be mentally stimulated as well as physically. Honesty, communication and respect are must haves for me in a good relationship as well as good solid values about life and love. Don't have too many dealbreakers but don't care for tattoos, excessive profanity or smoking.
I am happy being with my family and friends, or doing activities (indoor or outdoors) with my special someone, just having fun in general. I enjoy cooking and wish I had time to do more. I believe couples don't have to be joined at the hip...shared and diverse interests make for interesting conversations between partners. Even if you like to do something I don't, I will be there for the companionship, though I might not be an active participant. I do take the time to maintain my appearance and that includes eating reasonably healthy and exercising.
I love to travel (have been to 41 states and multiple countries) and would like to find a man to explore new places and old favorites. I have cruised to the Caribbean and Alaska, loved Paris and really want to go to Ireland, Italy and just about anywhere else in Europe (currently planning a trip to Spain in early 2013). Would also like to visit other parts of the world. I enjoy an annual trip to New York for shopping, food (going to the Food and Wine Festival in October), shows and museums or a long weekend in a cozy beach side hideaway or NoAZ cabin makes me happy too. I have lived in various parts of California, both Southern and Northern, and enjoy visiting family there. I like to find good local restaurants, can get lost forever in a bookstore, outdoor farmers markets and street fairs. Enjoy photography and trying to learn more about it. Now that my son is grown, I can truly enjoy some long needed time to devote to that special person. If you would like to learn more, please send me an email. I wish everyone the best of luck in finding their match.

. I desire a committed loving relationship. Are you the one? I dare you to read further!
I am a New York transplant that bakes a mean batch of chocolate chip cookies AND I found out after moving to Arizona, it seems that I don't even need an oven to bake!!! Who knew?
I am looking for my Man, my best friend to whom I can open my heart and who will enjoy my adventurous stories of life, golf, volleyball, and skiing. I am certainly looking forward to hearing all about your heart felt interests too.
For the past 16 years, I have worked with special needs children. I get up each morning and look forward to the challenges I will incur within my day. I inspire my students through humor. I love to laugh and surround myself with people who can see humor in everyday life. I have a sarcastic wit (New York, remember?) and at times it is a great tension breaker. I am a competitive and fun-loving woman who is true and motivating in my relationships with family and friends.
I was raised a good Irish Catholic girl. Need I say more? We don?t need to share the same faith, however, our spiritual beliefs do need to be compatible.
It is important and fulfilling for me to volunteer with different organizations. I have volunteered with Valley Big BrotherBig Sisters and have also worked with Special Olympics for many years.
I have had the experience of love at first sight and my heart stolen?. OK, I admit it; it?s Fagin?.. my dawg. Fagin and I have tawlked and we are ready for you. Are you ready of us?
I am so looking forward to hearing from you.

. Good listener, make people laugh out loud, greatly enjoy what I do for a living, positive, like being around people, want companionship, so one to be comfortable with a pause of silence. Someone who is comfortable at a sport event, as well as at a gathering of friends and family. Enjoys music, will go to new places and enjoy the experience

. Hi~ No need to read unless you're local, with an extraordinary mind, sense of humor, lack reading material or like tragic comedies. Please don't waste our time IF YOU: Have never been married or sired offspring; said "conservative" or "LOL" in your profile; didn't proof it, used words you don't know how to spell; don't recycle/reuse everything possible; are a vegetarian; think dancing is essential. PLEASE read on IF YOU: Can surmise when I'm being facetious and return a witty remark; like Coldplay, Incubus, Mozart, Bach; don't mind an occasional board game; laugh at Stephen Colbert; attended Burning Man; know the question(="42"); have a big one (TV); view deviantART "artistic nude", don't think it's porn; can help me learn more about wine/sushi; will patiently teach golf, if you play; know the difference between "argument" "lively debate", accept it as stimulating conversation/passionate exchange of ideas. Knowing there's never a "winner", you let me THINK I "won" occasionally; I will do the same for you.
Many profiles are eerily, questionably similar. Do we all really need to repeat that we're honest, sincere, smart, funny, positive, compassionate, romantic? Who'd say they're a lying, cheating dumb-ass, with no sense of humor, depressed, mean and rude? Tell me something interesting/different about yourself, even if it's not positive, so I know you're real.
You want a woman who's not afraid to speak her mind? Ha! I'd like to see you prevent that! Believe me, I can provide endless narrative prose detailing my wonderful characteristics to explain how fabulous I am. All true, I'm pretty damn cool, albeit a bit sarcastic, unconventional, complex, bold. I have integrity, strong values; I'm wild, yet down to earth, an enlightened, unique, surprising enigma; won't fit in a box with a lid/label. I'm the real thing, maybe a little- or a lot more real than you're used to. I'd be the best friend/lover that I can be. I'm generous, empathic, forgiving, take exceptional care of the people I love. Underneath my tough skin, I'm tender and gentle and I do like that soft, slow, mushy, romantic stuff too. Yum !!
Not everyone appreciates my humor, but it's a way I face the world's ridiculous absurdities/injustice. I may sound pessimistic, but I'm a realist. I don't bury my head in the sand or ignore the atrocities around me. To pretend we live in a fantasyland won't prepare my daughter for real life. I may speak in innuendos conundrums, but I know life's not always a game, what to take seriously and when. There needs to be balance. The trickle effect is always present. You can never know what the full impact or final result of any event will be. "It" never ends, perpetually in motion in one form or another.
I love fun/excitement, but it truly doesn't take that much to make me happy. Quiet times can be just as fulfilling. I'd like a smart, funny, honest man and a little (ok, maybe a LOT) of good lovin' ! I'm not high maintenance or a "girly girl" in the normal sense, but I do display my femininity. I love "goop", have many bottles/jars/tubes of lotions/creams/oils; I can get emotional/cry in an expert manner; I own XX? pairs of shoes.
No drama or games? Hey, if you found a way to alleviate/escape drama, I beg you, please write a book, share it ! Does "no games" apply to dress up/playing with my unusual toys? Bummer.
They say men are visual creatures; maybe that's why most of you mention mandatory "chemistry/attraction". We all know what you mean. I'l break out my Bunsen burner, beakers, test tubes, magnets. You can't all have skinny, beautiful woman with long legs, big breasts! If extras are available, maybe I should consider switching sides? If you need to "visualize" so bad, there are websites-just don't get upset if I look over your shoulder, OK?
I'm committed to raising my daughter for 6 more years, but as she gets older, she needs me less. I know something important is missing from my life

. I have a quirky sense of humor and enjoy making people laugh. I love positive people. I'm grateful for my family and my friends. I appreciate the beauty of nature. I'm looking for a man who "gets me" like my friends and family do. I love music and animals. I love to travel, yet am somewhat of a home body. My guy must not be a picky eater, but willing to try new dishes. A golfer would be a big plus, as well as having a bicycle. And yes, I'm holding out for the guy who will be my friend and my lover; who will treat me with respect; who will encourage me to always strive to be a better person, yet accept me for who I am. Physical attraction is important, but personality is too.
