Date women from United States / California / Palm Springs, 49 year old

Date a woman from United States. Photos and written words give us a brief glimpse into who someone just might be. But it's that certain something that doesn't show up in pictures or profiles which is really important . The more open and honest we are, the better chance we have to find someone who is a good match, and that's why I'm here.
Like many of you, I work hard and have an established set of great friends so this doesn't lend itself to getting outside of my circle and meeting new people. I am very comfortable with who I am, along with my years on this planet. I am proud of what I have accomplished to date, but think more about achieving my future goals. Age, religion, race, and $$ not important to me and it shouldn't be to you as well. What's important is depth of character and your basic values.
Serial daters, players, and those looking for a "brief encounter", please note that I purposely did not include photos of extreme cleavage nor does my profile indicate that my greatest goal in life is to party like a rock star and have a good time. Not that I don't like to do this on occasion, and with the right person. OK, so I have just eliminated about 95% of the men on MDC, but I respect your time and efforts as well as my own.
I just purchased a little home in the Palm Springs area that I am very excited to design and furnish, as I just love this process. Next project might be second home somewhere on an awesome beach in Mexico. But I need to get through this project first. Always dreaming and thinking ahead.
So let's see if we have the basics for a nice friendship, and then trust destiny to take it's course. It would be very cool to meet someone in which we have what it takes to travel down the road of life together.
About me:
Financially secure - Allows me to live a nice life, buy cool stuff and go on awesome trips.
Kind - Would give the shirt off my back to someone I care about.
Lived in Europe - I View the world in a broad sense and am well traveled.
Lifestyle - Fitness and healthy diet are the reason I 'm in good shape.
Daughter of a military officer/pilot - Integrity and values are very important to me. Grew up a military brat in San Diego.
Smarter than the average bear- Yea, I think this might be a bit of a problem.
Non-delusional - I'm clear on the fact that I am just an imperfect person who does her best.
Thank you for sending me a note if you are interested.
Winkers - throw enough spaghetti at the ceiling something will stick? If you wink at me l know you didn't read my profile.
Photoless profiles - "I work for the CIA" " I 'm a famous person" " Really-I'm not married"
Answer most of their questions with "tell you later" - Mystery very cool in a movie but not so much on MDC.
Am I being a bit too picky here? Yea, probably. But I really would like to find someone who is also willing to put themselves out there. If it's worth doing - do it right.

Meet someone special from United States. Sexy and sensible woman looking for a confident, healthy man who's also sexy and sensible who shares the same desires in life that I do.
I love intensely, and am a loyal friend. I am a supporter of the underdog, under- achiever, and believe in charity.
