Date women from United States / Alabama / Eufaula, 64 year old

Date a soulmate from Alabama, United States. I love my pets--probably too much but I love and trust them more than I love and trust most people. I am passionate about animal rights and the treatment of the very young and the elderly. I am a very private person, and I love my "space." I was an only child (no, I'm not spoiled!) and I have very little family left so I am really not into family. I spend most of my time alone; I am something of a loner and I understand others who are also. I do work a parttime job, so I do spend some time with others. I have no money so if you're looking for a Sugar Mama, it will not be I. Nor do I want to be anyone's maid or cook.
I'm not looking for a serious relationship, but I would like to be your pen pal or friend. If I were considering a serious relationship, it would only be with someone who has little family and lots of money (I can't help it; I'M HONEST) and why should I die a pauper? Now, if you just want to be friends, you can be poor like me. Seriously, the traits I admire in a person are as follows: honesty, loyalty, a sense of humor (mine is quirky), intelligence, compassion and patience. Some of the things I do NOT like are asparagus. housework, roaches and driving (I have No sense of direction) so if you want to be my friend, please don't live too far away! I should have been born with built-in GPS instead of great beauty --LOL!
Usually, others consider me an extrovert, but I'm really not; i'm very introverted compared to other women my age. Sometimes people gravitate toward me because I am a good listener but only offer advice when asked. Also, I will think about the photo--just have no really current ones but can't imagine a pen pal caring what I look like. I am usually covered in dog and cat hair (but that should be of no concern to a penpal), I have had other penpals, but we usually lose contact if/when they meet someone or something that has really captured his attention. I am getting NO RESPONSE from anyone so I am being forced to rethink some things. I would not mind a casual relationship. I will think about the photo. I'm actually pretty easy on the eyes and I do understand that some people are very visually oriented, especially men, hence the need for a photo upon request, but don't expect miracles; I'm old.
