Date women from United States / California / Sherman Oaks, 56 year old

Date someone special from Sherman Oaks, United States. My independence and strength wonРІР‚в„ўt intimidate you, or keep you from seeing the tender, soft woman, which I also am.
I'm a nice girl, obey the golden rule, focus on the present and have learned to enjoy my journey - good times and hard times alike.
I love people, am casual, a good cook, and often have friends and family over for dinner.
I have an adult life, with adult friends... but, sadly, no special guy.
"Special guys" don't usually come falling into your lap - so meeting potential "special guys", spending time together and getting to know each other seems like the way to go.
I've got the gowns, 4" heels and all that, it's fun once in awhile, but I prefer jeans. I like taking care of my looks - but don't make it an obsession (ie - I'm not a trophy wife) in fact, I'm not obsessive about much.
I'm very active - but not so athletic.
Walks, Dancing, Hiking, Swimming are more my speed. Love scuba - haven't been for years.
You could easily interest me in fishing, biking, roller-bladeing, even camping, but I'm not an avid tennis player, golf pro or marathon runner - that's just not me.
I've enjoyed every traveling experience I've had and feel lucky to have seen some different countries/cultures. However, I really enjoy my own back yard very much too.
I'm interested in: energy (solar to spiritual!), geography, different cultures, history, current events, politics, science, the mind, art, photography and propaganda.
I am not interested in pin-pointing what you will be like. It doesn't matter to me what you do for a living, just that you enjoy it - or what size your Levis or biceps are, just that you like yourself enough to take care of yourself.
A self confident man who's been through enough living to be humble is VERY ATTRACTIVE to me.
Being able to keep up a good conversation is basic and having the ability to entertain other points of view as potentially valid is important to me. If you can't appreciate that - we'd have a difficult time getting along.
I'm not looking for Einstein - but am not opposed to brains either.
You'll get my attention with humor and kindness over charm and good looks every time.
If you are more interested in living, loving and making the best out of life - you are my type of guy. If your glass is ever less than half full - you do whatever it takes to fill it up... or you appreciate what you have and enjoy it.
If you are ready to move on and confident enough with yourself to share yourself with a new friend, and you find my little blurb here interesting, please, let me know.
I respond to all my e-mails - I'm here to meet people too.

Meet a woman from Sherman Oaks, United States. Incurable romantic; optimistic and open hearted with a quirky sense of humor. I am sane, trustworthy and dependable. What you see is what you get. I adore off the wall humor (Monty Python, Mel Brooks, Ali G), all kinds of films, including really sappy love stories and really bad horror films! ("The Brain That Wouldn't Die!") Love dancing, spicy food, and, when the chemistry is there, my favorite thing in the world is kissing. I was married for 14 years, widowed in 1996 and raised my son alone from the time he was 12. I'm strong and resourceful. I may be over 50, but I'm far from done!! So much yet to see and do and I have the energy to do it all--just need someone equally enthusiastic to do it with!!
I have come to know what I want in a relationship. I know it''s not important for both parties to agree on everything--things are more spicy if you embrace the differences. There are many things I haven't done, but I would love to to learn..isn't that what keeps us young? I'm not afraid to get out of my comfort zone. My man is a good guy with an edge and an active libido. He has a sense of adventure; a twinkle in his eye and mischief in his smile. His life experience has been different than mine, but he is more than willing to bring me in and teach me. While his instincts have been right for him and have directed him to lead a successful and productive life, he is still open to learning from me as well.
I love passionate, creative men who want more out of life than the mundane, yet can appreciate a good pizza now and then. I have a very soft, vulnerable side and he can see it With all of his goodness, he has an intensity and an edge and is intimidating to some, but not to me. I see the little boy behind the man. With all of the strength we exhibit to the world, we know and embrace each other's weaknesses. We nurture and care for one other. We disagree sometimes, but we respect and learn from one another every day. When we fight, it's fair, and when we make up...it's hot.

Date a soulmate from Sherman Oaks, United States. I am a whirling dervish and am very grateful for this gift of high energy. However, I am also able to sit quietly, reflect, and chat with a person one-on-one. Communication is key and being able to connect with someone is very important to me. I want to attract a smart, successful, kind, analytical, creative individual with a heightened sense of humor, who is interested in developing a relationship. Married for nearly 30 years, I am definitely a one man woman and not a player. My pride and joy are my two adult children, who inspire me daily with their enthusiasm for life. Being positive is the way to go. I have no room for any Eeyores!

Socially, I'm pretty casual, a good cook, and enjoy entertaining. I have a nice life, good friends... but, sadly, no special guy.
I've got the little black dress,,even formal attire, it's fun once in awhile, but I prefer jeans. I put time and effort into taking care of myself, but don't make it an obsession.

Dancing, Hiking, the water: Sailing, Skiing, Snorkeling
You could easily interest me in fishing, biking, roller bladeing, tennis, but it could require some patience on your part. ;).
Like a good movie, love well done live performance - visual art, theater or music. LOVE Music, listen all the time.
My work is challenging, rewarding, satisfies the visual artist in me and keeps my bills paid... it's what I would do for free.
I'm a set decorator/prop stylist for advertising and editorial photography/video
My career keeps me busy, but also allows for pockets of days off, which I love to take advantage of and have spontaneous adventures, or tend to my little garden. I also am of the opinion that when we WANT to make time, we usually DO.
I find a self-confident man, who knows himself, has a positive outlook and has had enough life experiences to be a bit humble, EXTREMELY attractive.
Curiosity/Intellect are a big plus as well.
I like collaboration - I survive quite well independently, but love the synergy of working on something together.
Past that, I am not interested in pinpointing what you will be like. It doesn't matter to me what you do for a living (just that you enjoy it) what size your Levis or biceps are (just that you generally take care of yourself)
