Date women from United States / Arkansas, 47 year old

Date someone special from Arkansas, United States. I am a low maintenance girl who seeks a low drama life with someone special. I am recently a widow and am just now trying to get out of my realm and expand my interests. I am looking for a special person to be a friend, partner in life and a possible long term relationship. I am a loyal trustworthy person who values the same in a partner.
My interests are varied and I am a non-judge mental person with an open mind. I love to meet new people, and have been told I have never met a stranger.
I am in the medical profession and love what I do. I am independent, but would love to have the right person to be my equal in that independence.
My life is rich and full, but with the right person, could really be wonderful.
Thanks everyone!

Meet a woman from Arkansas, United States. I've been off the market for a few years but here I am again. I am new to Hot Springs, but Arkansas is my home and I'm glad to finally be back home (btw, the two men in the photos here are my 6'1" and 6'3" children if you can call them children at that size, ha. The little kids are my niece and nephew).
This matching process is usually 60% disappointing, 20% horrifying and 20% exciting, so I'm just holding my breath and jumping in. Anyway, I've lived all over the place (including a couple of years in Turkey) but I'm finally home and do not see myself moving out of Arkansas again. I've spent the last twenty something years being all things to all people, so I'm really trying to start doing things that I want to do and not just the things that I have to do. I have even served my country (yes, that very young girl in the uniform is me) and I used to volunteer at a local shelter and foster puppies on occasion. I'm pretty low maintenance and easy going although I have an extremely warped sense of humor which is probably due to the fact that my only social interaction is with my 23 and 26 year old sons. I'm constantly told that I look much younger than I am which works because I feel much younger...perhaps it's just immaturity ;).
I don't drink anymore, but it's not due to a moral issue (alcohol gives me really bad headaches, so I finally just said "Forget it!"), but I don't mind if my partner drinks a little, as long as it doesn't interfere with day to day life.
I've recently reevaluated my priorities in life and am happier now than I have been in YEARS. My son called it "defragging my life," which admittedly is a nerdy computer concept, but is applicable. Sometimes we get so caught up in the chaos that we don't even realize that we're lost in the shuffle until we stop the noise and look around for the things that make us content and satisfied in life.
My kids are grown and I'm financially comfortable, so I'm not looking for someone to take care of me, just for someone to care for me. I want to find a man who makes my stomach drop when I see his name pop up on the phone and makes me laugh until I can't breathe. Someone who can carry on a two-way conversation, call on a whim for an unexpected dinner, but also set up a date in advance for a Friday or Saturday night so that I have something to get excited about after the long work week, someone who wants to go do something even if it's just a drive with no destination. Someone who is intelligent, easy-going, hilarious (preferably with a similarly warped sense of humor), non-judgmental and non-controlling. That's not too much to ask is it? As far as appearances go...well...I'd rather be with a man on the heavy side than a skinny one. I'm not a size 4 but I'm healthy. We are from Nordic stock and are just not a small people. I don't know what else to say, so if you're looking for a small girl, that's not me :). I'm also moderately tall and don't want to feel like a giant next to my date so the fact that I want someone taller than 5'8" is not a reflection on you, but rather, a reflection on me.
So. If none of that has scared you off and you would like to meet an attractive, intelligent, hilarious, spontaneous to a fault woman, then e-mail or wink at me and we'll see what we have in common.

Meet someone special from United States. im an honest person.. be careful what u ask if you really don't want the truth. Im a lady, but i have a devilish personality. Ive been told i should have been a comedian. im a little shy at first but once i get to know you .. watch out.. its game on! Im alot of fun, but i also a homebody at times... i own my home, drive a nice car and am totally self sufficient. i dont need someone to take care of me.. but i would like someone to share my life with. all applicants must have a job, all your teeth, cannot be a chauvinistic pig and not looking for someone to support them. cause if you are.. im not your girl.

Date a woman from United States. raised my kids, graduated nursing school, weekends are for fun like playing pool, riding motorcycles (Harley's), horseback riding or just enjoying a lazy cuddle day. Like my alone time but also enjoy having someone to share things with who isn't intimidated by a woman who has a life outside of home, kids, and work. Dont feel like I've had a weekend unless I go out and do something, doesnt have to be extravegant, fun and interesting is more important.

Meet a soulmate from United States. I think it's funny that "Match" has a 200 word minimum in this section... I guess it's their way of encouraging us.
Just a few things about me... I adore animals. I am a classic rocker, but throw in some Michael Buble, B.B. King, Diana Krall, Louis Armstrong, Tim McGraw, or Ella FItzgerald any day. I have way more creativity, resourcefulness, and motivation than I do money in the bank. I am fairly intelligent, but I utilize my common sense more often. I can cook - and I might learn to have fun with it someday if I could prepare stuff for folks who actually enjoy eating and aren't picky. Baking is another story - totally LOVE to bake...and I'll eat all that stuff myself if I have to. Spontaneity is a gift to the normal, daily schedule that should almost always be taken advantage of - NO regrets!! Pretty much a multi-tasker when it comes to watching tv... not much to view that holds my attention for a full 30 minutes or hour. I always look forward to great conversations in fun restaurants. I am a closet grammar snob...will never, ever correct anyone - but I notice. Often, when I leave the house, I think "what would Stacy and Clinton say..." and sometimes when I'm at Home Depot, I wish I would be approached by a designer and construction crew... so I guess I DO watch a little tv. :)
I really like people who are kind to other people. That's pretty simplistic, I guess, but that's what I've grown to really expect out of the friends that I choose to have. If you are generally a selfish, angry, or pessimistic person, I would not care to be your friend. I also REALLY enjoy getting out and doing things... Home is awesome, and relaxing is great, but not ALL the time. Probably the best way to keep me in line is to take me fishing...or shopping... or something!! (haha) If you have great eyes and pretty teeth that is a plus. :) And please, please, PLEASE have a sense of humor. Absolutely cannot live without that.

. I'm a grandmother to 6 children, two of which I am extra close to as they have lived with me most of their lives. They don't slow me down tho, they enrich me. I believe in enjoying life to the fullest while maintaining responsibility. Some find that hard to believe when I profess my christianity but that's ok with me. A man in my life should love children, be honest with himself, me, and others, in that order. He should also enjoy spoiling others and being spoiled at the same time. I love to take care of others but it's nice to be taken care of too. Most important, A man should be my friend at least as much as anything else.

. Looking for MY KING!!!!
Life is to short for ordinary relationships. Love between a man and woman - WOW - don't want to live without it.
NOTICE the word "between"...he should love me as much as I love him in order to achieve this WOW relationship.
One really can't control how much and how they love someone. You do...or you don't. It's Got To Be REAL...to be WOWDERFUL!!!!!
I am looking for a man that CHERISHES me and my characteristics!
I was raised in a small town with 3 sisters and my parents are still together and are alive and well!! I love the country but prefer to live in the city. I truly enjoy the best of both worlds! I do not have children...my life just never seemed to be perfect enough to bring them into it. I have four nephews of which two live close by me. I loved and enjoyed those baby years...they have grown into awesome young men...and very close to their aunt!!! I spent every Friday night at their football games for 3 years...didn't want to miss one minute of there time to shine! Many koodos to my sister...she did a fine job!
I am not a "material" girl, but I love nice things! I don't have much...don't need much! I am not demanding and can take care of myself...but much prefer to share my life with some one. I can cook...anyone can...if they say they can't, it's just an excuse not to. I would like a man who enjoys cooking or at least enjoys hanging out and helping out!
"Jack of all Trades"...Gotta love 'em!!
I'm the kind of girl that does whatever it takes to get the job done...can sweat with the best!!!!
I am NOT a drama queen...daddy didn't raise me to be that kind...he had to survive and live with 5 "queens"!
I AM a ONE MAN woman and enjoy spending every spare minute with my man no matter what we do.
I am not very photogenic, but pictures are current. Don't have many pictures of myself...the camera is usually in my hands. Please don't judge me too hard...much better when you see the whole package...live and in person!! lol
This shopping by pictures is very difficult! It IS truly the inside that makes the outside more attractive!!!!!!!
And the people who don't posts pictures...don't expect me to reply. This IS a match sight...gotta see you...at least a peek!!!
Thanks for taking the time to look deeper than pictures and reading my profile!
I am very serious about finding my special someone, so if you are a "player" please move on...I am not your girl!!!!!

. You only have one chance for a first impression so make it count!
I am a sweet southern girl (standing tall at 4'10") originally from Fayetteville. Cherish life, love and friends and try hard to live life to the fullest. I am intelligent, well spoken, great conversationalist, and have a strong work ethic. When I do something, whether it be work or personal, I do it right or not do it at all. I take life seriously and not for granted, but I love to act goofy and have fun which includes laughing at myself quite often. I lead and clean and orderly lifestyle and seek the same in a mate.
I enjoy various types of music including country, blue grass, folk, classic rock, blues, jazz, pop, and the relaxing sounds of nature. I love the outdoors especially the fall. I love the ocean, trout and deep sea fishing, travel (cruised all over the Caribbean 14 times and ready for the next), as well as being on and around a river, lake, or ocean. On weekends I enjoy going to the movie, finding treasures in antique malls or flea markets, or taking a drive (with the right man of course) with no detailed plain in mind and just see where we end up. You will learn I embrace different cultures and enjoy experiencing their foods including sushi, Thai, Indian, Japanese, Chinese, Mongolian, and of course Mexican and American.
All these things are fun, just not fun alone. I am a very well rounded person who can adapt to any situation and a woman who is just as comfortable in casual (nice) jeans as I am dressed up in heels for a formal affair. There is no 1 specific type of man I am looking for but the obvious is honesty, integrity, sense of humor, some common interests, and the ability to express love. Mutual attraction and chemistry is a must! I am a one man woman and seeking a one woman man. I'm very loyal, affectionate, and dedicated to my mate and seek the same in return. I do enjoy entertaining the idea of marrying one day but only when I'm certain I have met the man I can see myself spending the rest of my life with. At that point he will know this lady will give a man deserving of her all the attention he deserves. I have met a few fine men and made some friends in the process but I still need to find that certain "chemistry".
The man who gets my attention must be clean, well-groomed, a convincingly nice smile, cares about his appearance, and keeps a clean and orderly home. Also, I realize we are all casual and relaxed at home (including me) so please don't misunderstand what I am saying here. NON-SMOKER ONLY! Prefer h/w proportionate, or a few extra lbs. My profile says average, however I'm more of a stocky, muscular build..
By the way...Chivalry will get you bonus points with me! I'm an independent woman who loves old-fashioned romance and chivalry so please put your best foot forward. I am very affectionate and love giving, receiving, and sharing forms of affection, and my mate should enjoy the same.
I don't want someone because I need to be with someone. I want more than anything to find my eternal best friend. It's becoming clear to me that having a best friend you can count on to be there for you unconditionally is very important in any successful relationship. That is one of the most important traits I'm looking for in the right man for me is being my best friend.
I have no kids at home and would consider relocating should I meet the right man. I wouldn't let distance keep me from a man I'm meant to be with.
My time is valuable to me so please don't waste it if you're looking for something too personal (you know what I mean). I'm seeking something deeper than an intimate encounter so please don't contact me if that's all you are seeking. This gal already knows what she wants :-).
If you've made it this far then say "Hello" and tell me a little about yourself. We may be the perfect match.
