Date a soulmate from Arizona, United States. You can begin your thoughts of me by recalling Meg in You've Got Mail - I don't want to say hurtful things, and we will never fight, not even disagree on what DVD to watch Saturday night. You can expect me to be gentle and caring and thoughtful, and if you think I may be interesting, you should assuredly wink or even better, email me without the slightest hesitation. I will not bite or scold or scream. Probably never. My, this is quite a persona I have set up for myself to achieve, hey!
I'm looking for a guy who's relatively happy with himself, even if he's unhappy (lol); disciplined, stable, passionate and compassionate. I want to share activities we both enjoy, have conversations, and delight in each other's company (at least a good part of the time!). I love men who enjoy the benefits of involvement - whether it be their family, or their HOA, or whatever- just working on teams and making things better. I think it's good for the mind, and the soul. I want someone to share traveling with me - we may as well use that silly timeshare I bought. And I'd like someone who would enjoy escapes to see movies on the BIG screen with me - or on my 46" LED sometimes. And if he's an avid reader, or a history buff, all the better. I'm a bit of a news junkie now - probably trying to get caught up after all those years of reading mainly technical manuals.
I've lived here going on 8 years. Before this I was in Palo Alto, CA, for 20 years, working as a software analyst, first for Xerox, then as a consultant. I was born here In Phoenix, so I came home when I wanted a lifestyle change. I've been happy with the change I made, and have started dabbling in real estate. I stay busy and like the flexibility I've found. Real estate gives me a reason to really dig into what's going on now in Phoenix, and I like that - besides Phoenix seems to be at the forefront of the real estate market - a real trend setter. And that's what I seem to be all about - whatever there's a maelstrom of change and controversy - you'll find me. I started with a bachelor's in Cultural Anthrolpology at UC in the 70s - you can just imagine what that was like- remember Margaret Mead? Then I went after more of an education - grad school for awhile in math and physics, then found my way into programming and systems analysis just when the PC revoluction and SQL-type languages were going wild. Now Phoenix real estate - I'm wherever the source of change is :).
I'm pretty serious about a healthy lifestyle, so you can expect me to require time for exercise and to watch what I eat and drink, but I'm not a nut case. I love to be outside and would as soon be hiking in Yosemite as seeing plays in New York. But I'd be there for either in the blink of an eye. I eat mostly organic, mostly vegetarian. I love to cook, but I'm not a gourmet cook. I like simple ingredients that are high quality, and not so many as to confuse my palate. I only know the inside of two grocery stores - Trader Joe's and Whole Foods - and I like the local farmers' markets.
I have a rescue cat, Maks, who appears to have mostly Russsian Blue DNA. He is lively and curious and as soon as I typed his name, he came over to my desk to grab a toy and coax me away. What a character!
Hope to hear from you soon.
Meet a woman from Arizona, United States. Welcome and thanks for viewing my profile. A little about me -
I am originally from Minnesota and lived in New England prior to moving to Arizona in 1994. Being able to trust someone and someone who can communicate openly is very important. I've been described as extremely trustworthy, loyal, a person of inner strength with a great sense of humor, and very adorable yet very classy. (Really - those aren't my words). I laugh every day. I am compassionate and non-judgmental. To relax I like to hike, walk, bike, and play golf. Actually, I'm open to doing a lot of different things. I also enjoy attending events such as baseball and football games, musicals, plays, and movies. My parents were ballroom dancers. I like to dance and am taking dance lessons. My instructor says I'm a natural - I'm not sure about that but it is a lot of fun. Cooking is a way for me to relax and I'm always up for trying new recipes. I also enjoy the many wonderful restaurants we have in the Valley. My drink of choice is a good glass of wine - red or white. I've visited wine country and would love to plan another trip to Wine Country, Anywhere. I'm drawn to water, especially the ocean - beach walking or just sitting on the sand and being mesmerized by the force of the waves. I like to hike when the sun is coming up and watching some of our beautiful sun sets takes my breath away. Because of it's closeness, San Diego is one of my favorite places for a quick get away. I enjoy a lot of different music. My favorite is Country, soft rock, oldies and classical. I like the group Train. Not into heavy metal. I'd like to find someone who has a healthy life style, is active yet can also enjoy a quiet evening with a home cooked dinner. I love to laugh and I love hugs. I'm financially secure and am thrilled to say I payed off my home this past year! Yea!
Here's a fun fact - I have an identical twin! She is, as you can imagine, very close to me and lives in Minnesota.
I believe in giving back. I work for a non-profit and at the end of the day I feel I've made a difference. I also volunteer and have been involved with the Susan G. Komen 3-Day walk for several years.
Thanks and I'm happy to answer any other questions. Hope to meet for coffee or happy hour. Have a great day!
Date someone special from Arizona, United States. Things in life that are important to me are being surrounded by open-minded, positive thinking, upbeat individuals. When you possess these qualites everything else falls in place. I am a very physical female. I enjoy sports (playing, not watching), hiking, walking, tennis, volley ball, etc. So....if you are a couch potato, please don't respond as you will get tired of me asking you to go places and do things. I love to travel, explore new tastes, smells, sights. I'm still working so have to do these things on vacations or long weekends. Museums, swap meets, plays, yard sales, movies, good restaurants, good friends (should have been at the top of the list) are some of my favorite things. I have a new puppy who is currently demanding a lot of my time.
I love manly men. Most important to me is the genuiness of the smile, that I can see it in the eyes. Must have personality and can laugh at themselves as well as life. I am 5'9", tall and slender so... would prefer to be with a man 5'11" or taller or if you are confident in your skin and would not be intimidated by my height, wonderful.
Meet a soulmate from United States. My friends would say I am a caring, fun, attractive , dependable, giving person. Love to laugh even at myself!

The type of person I am attracted to would be a man who values friendship first with a potential partner. Someone who is honest, caring, good communicator, down to earth, happy, stable man. No drama please!
Would love to create new memories and share life experiences with a special someone......
Date a woman from United States. Looking for a kind, gentle friend, who is witty and fun and enjoys a variety of activities.
I am new to the area and would like someone who can show me around.
Hoping this special connection could lead to more.
Meet someone special from United States. Honest, real values, and a loving heart.
I would love to have a partner who likes to travel, and be outdoors.
Most of all being a good listener,having a great attitude and enjoying good conversation. Sharing life's adventures, good and bad.
Having a positive attitude is very important. I would love to enjoy that as a part of your natural personality.
Being out of doors has always been a part of my life. Hiking, riding horses, exploring events like the Renaissance Fair, Arabian Horse shows, Performing Arts festivals, new adventures. I love to Bar-b-Que, and entertain.
My family has always been important to me, and always will. However they are on their own, and I have plenty of time to spend doing other things. A partner to do things with seems to be the order of the day. Let me hear from you, if any of this sounds like a fun, time. I can usually keep up with most intellectual conversations in good style, and love to learn new things too. Let me take you on one of my 90 minute walking tours, of downtown Wickenburg, to see How the West was really won.
. I am an independent well educated woman looking for the same in a man. I do not want to have to plan anyones life nor do I want them to plan mine. I enjoy doing things because I want to, not because I have to, I would hope he would feel the same. I simpley want to drink life as God intended, not create a glass world entirely man made.
. Well, who am I? I work hard, play hard and enjoy my life to the max!! I have a yard that I love to work in and have friends over for BBQ's. Frick and Frack - my two manx cats and Maddie, my dog, are very people loving. Family means the most to me and my two girls. Both are professionals and self supporting. They may love me - but we don't want to live together. LOL
What I'm looking for is a man that wants to go and do. I enjoy doing just about everything and love to dance! I'm very social and enjoy people. I've been told that a jealous person would not be a good pardner for me. I'm much better on the phone than I am on the computer!! Would put on a picture, but don't know how -- Will work on that.
I'm just looking for someone who is Fun and Happy!! We all have things going on in our lives, but it is best not to let it control our lives!
Also, looking at the picture - I'm the blonde and that was taken when we did a talent show two years ago. A little heavy on the makeup but we did have fun!!
. i am just a very simple woman..with simple needs. i like going to prayer meetings and book readings.
i like driving to nearby places or to Asia.. i work for the government and live a simple life.
. At 61 years old I do have a history. (more for only the contender). However, I like to only ripple the waters and decide my best course. (conservative-risky). I am NOT into politics I walk my dog an average of 2 14 mi. per day. I am a petite mature woman. I have some wrinkles and folds. I weigh about 105 - 108 pounds and I am 4' 11" tall (legs and small breasts are shapely). PATHETIC to mention that! (it is process of elimanation.) I prefer dresses in the heat and jeans in the cool weather. Interested in slender abulatory man with diverse interests, a decent set of values and a moderate to elevated education. I believe learning is life-long and I expect us each to learn from each other and to inspire each other. I want an intimate relationship. Here is the caveat. Living in a small town in a respectable position, I have chozen celibacy for almost two decades. I am expecting an intellectual, physical, and emotional man to respond to me. Money, on his side. should not be a motive. The little I have, or may have left, is secured. I only want to be respected, held, loved, and adored....I EXPECT TO GIVE NO LESS IN RETURN. You are are a rare one if you choose to respond. I expect to enjoy life. A song, a cloud in the sky, a childs laugh, the most extravagance you could imagine are all equal. I could be a treasure.
. I have no problem saying what is on my mind. But wouldn't think of deliberately hurting someone.
I listen to others and would like someone to listen and share with me. Hopelessly romantic. Love to be held and to hold someone, you?
I grew up in a small city in Western NY and now live in AZ and love it. Hanging out with friends is the best. Hope we can be friends and more.
You...
. sometimes funny,sometimes serious.That depends what is we talk about that.
I smile if see a small baby,good movie or a good joke
I hope someone friendly,like what I like to do,and understanding
I don't really have onesocail life
Looking for friendship
