Date men and women from United States / California / Pleasant Hill, 50 year old

Date a man from Pleasant Hill, United States. OK , I feel pretty good about myself and where I I'm at and I'm ready to start dating if you are? I really appriciate someone who is down-to-earth: with no illusions or pretensions; practical and realistic! A woman with the right amount of confidence and femininety is indiscribable to me! I need to feel confortable enough to play a little and at the same time be able to say just whats on my mind. What I'm saying is I'm looking for my soul mate (that woman who will complement me perfectly, and to whom I will complement perfectly)So I think a down to earth thing to say would be that Chemistry is important . I under stand that no one is perfect and that I certanly am not! But, lets see how close we can get? Realistically.

Meet people from Pleasant Hill, United States. If I pique your interest and you are local (from the Bay Area)--that means no one from LA, NY, Texas, etc., and the rest of the country! --, send an e-mail . . . please NO winks -- If you send a wink, that means you didn't read my profile. Please have a photo; if not, what do you have to hide?! As for my photos, no body shots anymore due to lewd emails!!!! Why?! Please only seriously interested reply. I may look at profiles and not wink and/or send an email but it doesn't mean I'm not interested . . . I'm just a girl that wants to be pursued. We all want we want and should not hold back so here it goes . . . .
MY RULE FOR DATING: Let your freak flag fly, and if someone doesn't get you, then move on . . . life is too short! I have been asked many times about the meaning of "Let your freak flag fly" . . . just be yourself and be true to yourself. Don't worry about what other people think (being pretentious is such a turnoff!). I consider myself a rebel and unconventional . . . following the same old path is boring.
I believe in total honesty and am very upfront. I also believe that sexual chemistry is important; however, if that's all you're looking for, please do not respond . . . friends first . . . this is important as there seems to be a lot of people so quick to take it to the bedroom . . and not because they are tired! I am more interested in intellectual intercourse first . . then the heat is much more passionate. In addition, I would like to meet someone that appreciates where I have been and where I want to go.
Looking for someone that is affectionate and takes initiative -- knows what he wants . . . because I know what I want . . . a man that makes me feel like a woman and reminds me why I love being a woman. A man that is stable and with a sense of direction . . . a good looking guy (INSIDE & OUT) that isn't vain. Give me all of you and you will get all of me and more in return. You have to be sexy and I need to be attracted to you! Someone with a current sense of style is a plus as well.....it's hard to find a guy at this age that is "cool" and has a current sense of style! I have a current sense of style...and in no way conservative...have tattoos: one on my ankle (geez, what girl doesn't!) and a current one on my entire back and around down under that is a work in progress :-).
I tend to be attracted to men that are closer to my age or younger as I look younger than my age (blessed with good genes!! and probably being a goof ball and not taking life too seriously has helped...and I may be a grandma but no granny panties here! LOL). I am open to meeting people that may not share the same interests as I am open to new challenges and adventures. I would like to meet someone that is intelligent . . . at least someone that can spell! Someone on the independent side (someone that is financially stable!) as I tend to be the same. I don't like drama . . . at all! I do not play games and will not be played. I believe in communication and mutual respect . . .
Friends describe me as sweet, easy to talk to ("put people at ease"), giving (tend to put others before myself but not afraid to speak up for myself when and if the situation should arise), goofy, "one of the guys," passionate about life and what I do in my profession, easy going, diverse . . . Friends say that my personality reminds them of Elaine from Seinfeld. My guy friends say I am "hot" but where is the fire.... where are you?! This is tough b/c men are afraid to approach b/c they think I am taken . . . ugh! I think-and I have been told--that my confidence and independence may be intimidating . . . . bottom line, I'm just a sweet, super shy girl looking for a nice guy.
I like going to the gym at least five times a week . . . I hired a personal trainer. I wouldn't consider myself a "gym rat" but more of a mouse. I like to stay in shape and appreciate someone that does the same. Training and working towards running a marathon!
