Date women from United States / California / North Hollywood, 47 year old

Date someone special from North Hollywood, United States. I am a big beautiful black woman who enjoys music, movies, shopping, the beach, site seeing, dining out among other things, great sense of humor and fab personality to go along with it, I am drama free, no time for it. I am not desperate.
I am looking for a man not a boy in a mans body who knows what he wants in life and is not afraid to go get it, with a great personality and sense of humor, I am not looking for a follower, unless you are following yourself.

Meet a soulmate from North Hollywood, United States. I have learned to not sweat the small stuff and to enjoy and appreciate the great moments I have with those I care about. I work hard and reward myself with fun and down time. I have a wicked sense of humor and I love to laugh. I was born and raised in the Midwest and feel that background keeps me grounded. I love the simple things in life the most...reading a great book in a hammock on a Sunday afternoon, taking a spontaneous road trip, turning dinner into a small gathering of close friends.
I love to travel, especially by car. You see so much more that way and meet so many interesting people. That doesn't mean that I would turn down a flight or a boat ride! I love to explore any way I can. It adds so much to my life.
I have two kids, one dog, one turtle and four fish and I adore all of them! They never cease to amaze me. I am privileged to have their little souls in my life.
I was raised Catholic but I no longer follow any organized religion. I know the word "spiritual" is used over and over again but I really do believe that having spirituality in your life is imperative. I don't believe that I must be in a particular building at a particular time on a Sunday to have that.
I love watching sports, especially football and basketball. I wanted to play football in high school but the school wouldn't let me. So, I joined the girls track team. I got the last laugh when they moved me to the boys track team...I was fast;) As an adult, I have run three full marathons and one half marathon and I plan to run more.
To say that I would like to meet someone who is kind, honest and loyal sounds cliche, but that is what I am looking for. Does anyone really come here and say "I'd like to meet a so-so person with marginal qualities and sensibilities'? I don't think so. I would also like that someone to have a great sense of humor. Laughter is absolutely essential. Life is way too short to live it frowning. Thanks for taking the time to read my profile and we'll see what happens!

Meet someone special from California, United States. I would say that I like to live life to its fullest. I enjoy going to the movies, going to the beach, running in the canyons, MOTORCYCLES, and basically just having fun! My match would also like to do these things too. I also believe that it's important to look after others. I believe it's important to be a part of charitable causes and care for others. I am looking for my partner in life, to travel with, enjoy life with, and to laugh and have fun with. Someone who is caring and still believes in treating a woman the old fashioned way. Opening doors, flowers every now and then, a little sense of surprise, chivalry. Someone who can make me smile and laugh is my ideal match.
