Date women from United States / Arizona / Scottsdale, 42 year old

Date someone special from Scottsdale, United States. Being on a dating website makes me feel a bit uneasy but I DO like the fact that multiple questions are asked to try to match you to the right person.
God takes precedence over everything else in my life. I'm easygoing & my closest friends describe me as being one-of-a-kind (by God's wonderful grace).
The type of guy that I'm attracted to is someone that's GOD-FEARING, LOVING, FAITHFUL, GENTLEMAN-LIKE, & HEALTHY. If that person's FUNNY &/or CLEAN, that's a definite PLUS.

Meet a woman from Scottsdale, United States. .•* hello *•.
I laugh a lot...and will make you laugh too! I'll watch almost any sport with you and will probably even cheer for your team...! I am high energy and up for most anything…but I reserve the right to be girly or prudent...! No cristal ball needed... I speak up my mind to a fault and will tell you the way it is. I love almost all animals but have a weak side for parrots and dogs. I think life is too short to carry a grudge and be hateful about things. Besides, it's just makes you unhealthy
I also believe in:
Truth and honesty
Actions speaks louder than words
Christmas not Xmas, and the spirit of Santa Claus (not the commercial reality)
Not peeking at the end of the book I'm reading
Cheering for everyone in the race, even if they're passing me
Singing along...and dancing in my living room when the right song comes on
Making myself laugh even if I am alone
Taking risk...calculated risk
The power of a smile
Kindness and forgiveness
The value of volunteering
Taking care of my health and my body...so it will take care of me
I'm looking for someone:
Who is serious about living...but doesn't take life too seriously. Who is a participant rather than a spectator. Who wants to share his life but knows how to keep himself intact. Who loves the physical aspect of sports and outdoor play but is a great sport. Who will compete with me in one minute and hope that I win the next just so he can see me celebrate. Who will plan out goals and vacations, but spontaneously sweep me away for an unexpected evening or weekend. Who knows he can hire people to do things, but likes to build and fix things himself. Someone who is not a player but can play the game of great living. Someone who isn't afraid of loving and losing, trying and failing or giving and not receiving.
Someone who wants an equal partner, but can still be supportive and have my back. Someone who can wears the pants when I just want to wear a skirt (mini skirt and high heels :))

Date a soulmate from Scottsdale, United States. First, I never thought I would be on one of these dating sites but with my career and being a single mother it's really hard to meet people-So...here I am! I'll give it a go!
I was born and raised in south Louisiana and moved to Scottsdale 12 years ago to raise my two children, now ages 13 and 10. I come from a large family, I'm number 7 of 9. After raising 9 children, my parents are still together and celebrating 55 years of marriage. I'm sure they weren't all blissful years but nonetheless still together. ;-)
Raised with good morals and values, I consider myself to be genuine, honest, giving, compassionate, down to earth, personable, and funny. Caring, spontaneous, always looking out for others, far from boring, a class act but can have a crazy side as well is how my friends would describe me. I'm not afraid to throw my hair back in a ponytail, a matter of fact, its what I do most days! ;-)
I'm very low maintenance! I can probably use a drill and put anchors in drywall better than you! ;) lol......
I'm passionate about many things, but raising my two children I would have to say ranks highest on my list. I thrive on their happiness and knowing I'm doing my absolute best to give them the tools they need to become intelligent, caring, honest, and independent adults in this crazy, ever changing world we live. The children are with me 50% of the time.
I love people who smile and people that make me smile! Being happy and having fun is good for the soul and key for any relationship. Lazy nights snuggling on the sofa watching a movie after cooking dinner makes me happy. And I'm a pretty good cook (From Louisiana, remember?) I love the beach, boating, horseback riding, parties of any kind, sports bars to watch a game, live music, comedy, and passionate moments anytime!
A romantic trip for me would be somewhere in the mountains log cabin, wood burning fire, bear rug, big pillows, wine, and the man of my dreams! Did I mention snow for skiing? ;) Some places I've enjoyed, Maui, Beijing, Shanghai, Bahamas, Cabo, and Puerta Vallarta, San Francisco, Laguna Beach.
I believe you get in a relationship what you put in to it. Little acts of kindness, always being there for one another, laughing and being silly, touch and communication all the time of any kind is what makes a relationship strong. I'm looking for a strong minded person to share these qualities and many life experiences.

Meet someone special from United States. I'm a very direct, independent woman who is still a hopeless romantic and believes in the old ways of courtship of being pursued and a man treating a woman like a lady. Don't be shy, because i kinda am ...and then where would that get us? hahaha
I am new to AZ and would love to meet someone to show me the beauty this state has to offer. I love to listen to music live, watch sporting events live, art shows...even sitting back and people watching.
I have a 15 year old son that moved with me here and my best friend who is also my room mate. I was in the Upper Management of Social Services field for over 20 years working with adults with disabilities and also did interpreting for the deaf, after a life altering event i decided there was more to life than just money and working all the time. I do have to say its a little difficult for me to say that I am kind of starting over at 42. I know that doesn't make me the most appealing candidate but I must stay honest.
Life is way too short to let the negative get you down..I'm looking for a FUN, kind, genuine man that is motivated, confident and assertive loves to laugh (even at himself) dorky, goofball and tats l are a plus! I love sporting events, holding hands and walks and kisses in the rain...i think as long as you are spending time with the one that matters it really doesn't matter what you do. I am looking for a steady relationship, i am a 1 guy kinda woman, just need to find that one guy....lol
well thanks for your time...if you actually read this...i am impressed lol...btw...u will be quizzed on it later...lol...jk....did i forget to say i am a total smart ass????....oooopsie ....my baad...lol ;)
If you want to know more....dont hesitate to ask! ;)

Date a woman from United States. Friends have called me passionate, joyful, driven, smart, compassionate, funny, special and loving.
Among many other things, I am grateful for and proud of my closeness with family and diverse friends; my work and education; spirituality; world travel; and passion for health / fitness. I seek variety and balance in life; I have a curious and open mind and I love learning and giving back to the community. I am truthfully flexible and go from barefoot and natural one day, to dressed up in hills the next day conducting an interesting conversation or activity.
I want to enjoy life's moments with a kind and adventurous man, brave enough to be and accept himself just as he is. A grounded dreamer who thinks of possibilities and has an open heart. A man who shares some of my values and interests; the activities are secondary. So much to give, so much more to share...
Good luck with your search and have a great day!

Meet a soulmate from United States. I hope everyone is having a good summer!
I am living 8 lifetimes in one. I go into disaster areas and rescue animals (not kidding) and love the adrenaline rush and the requirement to come up with real solutions to real problems, real fast. I color outside the lines. I no longer report to others for work. I drive fast, I sometimes stay in hostels, I prefer visiting other countries over going to Branson. I don't do tour groups, I create my own itinerary. IN ALL ASPECTS.
Chances are, you and I both are very busy people and with this additional business of mine, my time and money are pretty valuable right now. This means I will not waste either of our time if I feel we are not a match. So everyone is on the same page here, I'm telling you now that I have decided I am going to go on dates with (notice I did *not* say sleep around) a handful of people simultaneously and then pursue a relationship with someone I feel is the best mutual match (the connection has to be there for both of us). I'm past blowing months or weeks on dedicating my time and energy on one person, to find out we just weren't a fit and I'm back to square 1. The engineer and INTJ in me are at their wits end, so this is what it has to come to.
**BEFORE I FORGET: I am going to sell this main house in Scottsdale (but keep the others) and move. Hopefully within the next several months. Your location is not an issue for me.**
Paragraph form hasn't worked, so maybe bullet points are better.
DEALBREAKERS:
addictions (sex, gambling, drugs, etc - to clarify, sex is not a dealbreaker, sex ADDICTION is. there is a difference.)
smoking
dishonesty
indoor dogs (unless our home is partitionable and the dogs never meet the cats)
narcissistic traits
insane amounts of debt
meanness and/or insensitivity
ex on the payroll (still have to pay child support? no thanks, not into the games exes play)
steroid use (I'm infinitely more attracted to intelligence, good conversation, and good business sense over what you can bench press)
couch potato mentality
heavy on politics or religion
hunting
YOU TOLERATE WELL OR ENJOY (and can AFFORD):
being outdoors (hiking, camping, etc)
black tie events and fundraisers (I miss this, I have a closet of gowns and nowhere to wear them. Change that.)
international and domestic travel
housecats
appreciation of other cultures
an entrepreneurial spirit
a love of adventure
my love of meeting new people
my unconventional approach to life
my enjoyment of entertaining guests
my appreciation of house music and music festivals (Groove Cruise, UMF/WMC, Coachella, EDC Vegas are annual events for me)
my sense of style
my love of animals
my high level of energy and drive
me sharing the details of my day with you
my interest in weather phenomena
YOU GET FROM ME (for starters - the list grows as time passes):
kindness
honesty
interest in your day
positive outlook
damn good problem solving/planning/scheduling/execution abilities
gentle touch
"little things" (notes/cards/single rose for you to find/backrubs/etc)
travel/adventure companion
someone who is interested in learning the things you enjoy
intelligent conversation
sense of humour
someone who is DRUG, ADDICTION, and DISEASE FREE (omg a rarity anymore)
someone free of baggage (no kids, no car payments [as of October], no mortgage, no loans)
someone who owns her own homes, cars, and businesses
someone who is tolerant of your quirks
The lists almost sound like I'm a hardass; in reality, I'm very understanding/open-minded about a LOT of things, I know how to pick my battles, and I think so far outside the box I forgot what the box looks like. You will discover this fairly early-on during the "getting to know you" phase. But the dealbreakers list is a necessary evil.
Thanks for looking, would be nice if I can find a kindred spirit out there.

Date someone special from Arizona, United States. Here it goes, I am new to this whole online experience and am willing to give it a try!
I have been living here in Phoenix for about three years now, and really enjoy being here in the valley.
Chicago is where I grew up, and although I have lived in eight different states, I still consider it to be my hometown.
My friends would describe me as very charming, social, goofy, funny and silly, and sometimes sarcastic person. I am also very goal oriented, driven, positive, and outgoing. Also, self proclaimed fashion police when warranted. I will call you out with those stone washed jeans!
I enjoy life, no matter what. Basically, a "glass is half full" mentality. I can also be a huge dork. There are many, many days when my boss or co-workers walk away from me laughing, just shaking their heads. But, usually, the laughter is with me..ok, sometimes at me. :) I don't have much of a filter, so I say what is on my mind.
My job allows a lot of flexibility, and I work from home sometimes. Really enjoy what I do, and the people I meet every day. I am in the security business, so you never know what the day may bring.
I LOVE to laugh and spend time with friends and family, and I hope to find someone who enjoys the same things.
Really love to throw theme parties..have done 80's night, Toga, Playboy Mansion, and yes...my greatest accomplishment--White Trash. Best. One. Ever. (That's right, I said it.)
The biggest thing for you gentlemen: One would certainly describe me as a "guy's girl".
I love sports (especially college/pro football), I do fantasy football , play softball, love going to games, playing golf, etc..but I am all girl too. I love to dress nice, and yes, I wear heels EVERY day. :)
Would love to meet someone who understands that life isn't all about work, you have to have some fun too.

Meet a woman from Arizona, United States. I'm a happy person, outgoing, fun to be around so I am told, make friends easily and get along with just about everyone, can be silly at times (as I am sure my pictures will show), love to laugh and live life to its fullest, like to stay active and am always up to try something new. I can a bit of a planner...I am the one planning the fun events for my friends, or planning my next trip, or my class reunions. I DO like being spontaneous as well. The activity isn't as important to me as the person I am doing it with. Its amazing how much fun you can have when you are experiencing life with the right person. I would rather be outside doing something as long as the weather allows!
Just a few of the many things I enjoy are I love to go hiking, listen to live bands, dog park with my pups. BBQ and hang by the pool, going to festivals and local events (WM Open, Spring Training, Culinary Fest, etc) sporting events, people watching, movies, travel, exploring new places in the area or just hanging out at home enjoying a night in. I have a fantastic set of friends who I enjoy spending time with and are very important in my life. I watch sports (college football is my fave), I like to travel, especially to beach destinations. I'm not big on the club scene in old town...not my style. I am originally from Seattle and have lived in North Scottsdale since the beginning of 2000. I am NOT your typical Scottsdale girl though however. =)
I love to travel, whether it is a day or weekend trip to the mountains, a weekend in San Diego, or hop on a plane and go somewhere. I have been all over the US, to London, Paris, Nice, Cannes, Monte Carlo, Frankfurt, Munich (yes, for Oktoberfest!) and Majorca in Spain, along with New Zealand, Australia, Canada and Mexico. I am taking my first trip to Asia in December and am going to Hong Kong and Thailand for 2 weeks. I guess you can say I like to explore the world! Beach destinations are my favorite.
I am independent, emotinonally and financially secure, excellent credit, own my own home, confident and am also not one of those "clingy" people, I like my own space at times and like to make sure I give someone their space as well. I'm not into drama and drama isn't part of my life. I like to think I am pretty low maintenance as well, but I do admit I like to be spoiled sometimes like on my birthday for example. What girl doesn't, right? =) What you see with me is what you get, I don't try and pretend to be anyone but myself.
What am I looking for? A nice guy, someone who is emotionally available and comfortable giving and receiving affection, someone who is easy going and doesn't take himself too seriously. A sense of humor, quick wit, sarcasm, a great laugh and smile are a huge plus! I would like to be with someone who likes a wide variety of interests and isn't afraid to try something new. Also, I want someone who is fit and active. Animal lover is a must!
Looking to find someone special that eventually develops into a long term relationship.

Date a soulmate from Arizona, United States. Hello, I know we are suppose to getter detailed in this section I will as I go along here, in the meantime Il will be happy to answer any questions that you may have. For basics I can say I am looking for a funny, sincere, honest man that wants a partner in life without all the expectations of each other that are drawn from personal insecurities that create drama, so you would need to be secure and strong especially in character. A mutual connection is obviously the start of anyhing great, so looking for that special connection a man looking for the same in a woman for a special mature relationship at this point in our lives--

. Hi my name is Mechelle. I am a person who's outlook on life is that the glass is always half full. I am a very positive person with an uplifting spirit in my faith. I am a down-to-earth, honest, intelligent and an even keeled lady with a positive attitude. I appreciate the smaller things in life and everything that life brings. I enjoy working out. I love going for walks along the beach. I am a hopeless romantic. I love to stop and smell the roses and receive them too. I love horseback riding, watching sports (Go Rams!!!!!!), most water and outdoor activities, as well as, spending time with my dog.
I would like to meet that special someone that enjoys life that is confident, intelligent, honest gentleman that possesses strong values who is a Christian and who loves his family. A priority for his health, fitness is a plus and someone who is seriously looking for a future partner.

. I am honest, intelligent, with a good sense of humor, and open-minded... I am very loyal to all relationships and friendships... I am looking for a companion and best-friend to share my life with who has similar qualities as me.
Please be emotionally available and I'm not looking for a drinking buddy or some friend with benefits. It sounds a little bit negative, but I don't have any choice to mention this because I think a lot of men are looking at a date as a total different meaning than what I'm looking for.
I'm a very light and fun person to be around and I don't want to waste my time with someone who is still worrying about what was in their past.

. Simple... I am not looking to serial date. I recently met someone on match that could have been a success story... but didn't work out. And it's not because I'm a psycho. Just wasn't meant to be.. but I learn from mistakes & move on. If you don't learn from your mistakes & keep repeating them how on earth will you ever really be happy with yourself let alone find the special someone to be happy with???
I'm honest, honest to a fault, very passionate and caring. Don't know how long I plan on staying on match but if you like a down to earth, VERY honest, speaks her mind, sarcastic sense of humor.. real, jeans/ t-shirt kind of girl that's me- contact me. If not, that's fine too... Good luck to you.
BTW: I don't like men who are too metrosexual... sorry, I've just come to find out what that's all about since starting to date again. Can't have him be more girly than I am, or wear bedazzled jeans when I don't even like to wear them, ew. LOL
Thanks for stopping by.
True love does not come by finding the perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly.
