Date men and women from United States / California / Hidden Meadows, 42 year old

Date a woman from United States. A final attempt to meet someone extraordinary, someone that appreciates me, and does demonstrate the utmost respect at all times!
A brief insight:
I am an optimist by nature, and surround myself with such individuals.
Do possess passion, and carry a sense of pride in relations to my family, friends, and truly the way I conduct life overall.
I am a person with much depth, that is positive, genuine, honest, loyal, confident, creative, intuitive, joyful, motivated, respectful, multi faceted, international (;), fair, adventurous, idealistic, spiritual, rebellious (at times), open minded, educated, self sufficient, original person, just to name a few traits.:) Don't let my description fool you, I am not perfect, by far!:) Please take note of this, I am exceptional independent, I am consumed by work, however for the right person very willing to cut back and enjoy one on one time!
My list of interests appear to grow on a rapid rate, which are anything from a Noise Concert, to a Festival to a Classical Music Performance, I am a big fan of Opera's ( Puccini's particularly) and Symphonies, and listen to live Jazz and Blues at local establishments often. Admire all sorts of Arts, whether it is Performing Arts, Paintings, Sculptures, Glass Arts, Pottery, you name it!
Enjoy to travel, explore nature, and discover it at times at its purest, take much interest in different cultures, and often learn about history.
Love to canoe down stream, and can be at times successful at fishing as well. Possess a fascination in relations to Human Anatomy and Physiology, must be why I chose to work in the Medical Field.
What I am looking for in a partner?
Integrity and credibility are must haves, amongst many other important characteristics, such as pride, morals, values and respect! An individual with diverse interests would be most definitely someone I would be interested in investing my time in, to possibly get to know one another in depth.
If you happen to be looking for casual encounters, I must disappoint you, that is a lifestyle I refuse to participate in, and no exceptions!!! Now, creating a incredible friendship is a completely different story, a matter of fact I find that at times a friendship can be that essential to something much more grand, anyway I am content with either way, life is filled with many possibilities, indeed!
Something I will not tolerate is being involved with an individual that is "still" shopping around for other potentials on any kind of dating website, it is disrespectful on the highest level! It it obvious I am not going to stand for that, who would want to jeopardize something truly great just to feed their ego, and further more??? Needless to say this is the reason for being back on this site in hopes to meet someone that does recognize when "Great" stares them right in the face! Respect and Trust are the essentials to any successful relationship, if such does not exist, everything else is of no importance!
Also, I do value my time, and so should you, as we all know time is irretrievable and therefore have very little tolerance for nonesense, inconsistency or head games , I find it to be a major turn off to say the least!!! And "Hypocrisy" I find the least attractive!
If you are easily intimidated by a strong willed, intelligent, opinionated and outspoken woman, it is best to bypass my personality type! I am a forthright type of woman, I speak my mind cleary on any topic, particularly when it comes to my ontake how a person does treat me, which is not to be confused creating drama.
On a side note:
I am not looking for someone to complete me, however I would love to travel the road of happiness with that exceptional someone!
