Date women from United States / Alabama / Woodland, 49 year old

Date a soulmate from Alabama, United States. First at all, this is not one of those " I love to laugh" profiles, if you are looking for a bimbo please go to the next one. Also, and to avoid wasting your time--and mine--even in the case that I find your profile appealing, I will still not provide you my phone number nor meet in person until I know what kind of man you are; so, if you are looking for an easy hook up... avert your attention from my profile and keep looking. Some men have a negative reaction to my profile, please if you have emotional issues or are hypersensitive stop here. Being in an online dating site makes me a bit vulnerable and I have all the right to express how I feel and to be selective about what kind of man I want to contact me. I do not mean to offend anyone, but if you do not like what I say is not my problem.I am not here to see how many guys like my profile, I only need one to like it, the right one for me. Please remember, you don't have to read my profile. And do not send me emails to tell me what you do not like about it, opinions are NO WANTED.
Happy hunting!
For those who are truly ready for a mature and meaningful social connection:
I am an honest, educated, cultured, mature, loyal woman. I have learned--te hard way-- to take pleasure on the little things in life. I can be amazed by the smell of the rain, but bored to death with people that talk too much. I am a little bit shy, but enjoy being among fun people. I am very traditional and somewhat an old-fashioned woman; however, I can be an open-minded person regarding others. For a partner I looking for a man that really wish to have a family, that wants to be respected, trusted, admired, and loved. I do not like playing games and I am looking for either a serious relationship OR a good and sincere friend; i value much more an ever-lasting friendship than a short senseless romance. I am looking for a human being, and no for a list of hobbies or personality traits. Since i got divorced i devoted myself to raise my son. My son is now 24 and he graduated from UCLA last summer; I am at a time in my life where I am able to relax and think about myself. FYI: I could write a much better profile... One that could make me look more appealing-- anyone can look "right-and-proper" in paper, but first at all...I do not feel like it!... and secondly, that would be misleading and dishonest. This is me... a woman that is far from perfect (and fine with it); I am not looking for a charming prince neither, never believed on those anyway.
P.S. I do not fit stereotypes and I am looking for a man with enough culture and education to be able to value multiculturalism; or at least a man that is not ethnocentric (or knows what this words means :-) ...(Sorry, have a dry sense of humor sometimes).
Short list of issues I am avoiding (and probably any woman with a healthy self-steem is avoiding too) in a man are:
"Currently separated" ; On the rebound and looking for a distraction only; Emotionaly unstable; Serial dater or you have made a career on Match (and still using your old pics) ; A man so narcissistic as to expect that a woman should enjoy --and take-- ALL of his hobbies; A man looking of a woman that will complement "his" lifestyle; A man looking for a young, sexy, intelligent, and sophisticated woman, but he is neither one of these; Cheater and a liar; Alcoholic or drug addict; Pretentious and unrealistic about what his match should be ; Men looking for women 15 - 20 years younger than them (Creepy... among other things); Having a criminal record is a big NO! Some might think my words are harsh or negative, my right match will not feel that way, I write like this to hopefully screen out some of those annoying e-mails we, women, get on this site. The man i am looking for is not going to feel affronted by my words.

Meet a woman from Alabama, United States. This is my first time doing the online dating thing so I am not really sure of all that should be put in a profile. Because I've not done this before, I feel a little cautious about posting pictures of myself on a website. But here goes....I am an open, down to earth and honest individual who is looking for someone open and honest as well. I'm not interested in dating a lot of men; I'm more interested in finding that special someone. I enjoy spending time with family and friends. I was raised with strong family values. Family is very important to me. I never had children; however, I love children. My niece and nephew get the benefit of that since I spoil them.
I know that physical attraction is the main thing that starts a relationship but it's the other more important things about a person that keep the relationship going. I believe in love but know that solid trust and friendship is the key foundation for a fulfilling and lasting relationship. I am a hopeless romantic. I consider myself an independent person; however, I do like having someone that cares about me and that I care about. And I especially would like someone who is a gentleman.
I am a positive individual -I believe in looking at the bright side of things. Life is too short to dwell on the bad stuff. On weekends I like to just get in the car and take drives out in the country or go to quaint little towns and go to gift shops. I like to visit art galleries as well as antique shops. I enjoy going out for dinner and a movie but staying home for the evening is fun too. I enjoy my work as a business analyst in the IT department of a healthcare company. The best part of my job is digging through data to identify the cause of an issue and then working to arrive at a solution for that issue. I work out on a regular basis as I like to stay in shape and be/feel healthy. For the most part I eat healthy but sweets are my weekness. I would very much like someone I can exercise with and do things with and motivate each other; but at the same time, give each other space to grow so that when we come together we have so much more to share with each other. I am looking for someone who is kind, caring, smart, easy going and who can make me laugh.
