I have a strong, fiercely independent, dominant exterior but, I am a dichotomy because I require a man who knows how to take charge.

I am open, honest, passionate, loving and a fantastic communicator. Intelligent, articulate conversation is my foreplay. I drink in every moment of life and am happily living and appreciating it.

I claim I am looking for a long term relationship but, thus far have not found the man I want to curl up with for the remainder of my days.

My ideal match will be able to stimulate my body, mind and spirit. A strong, intelligent, caring and direct man. A man that knows how to take charge. A man that is responsible in every area of his life and is courageous enough to be completely open and honest. A passionate lover who enjoys exploration and deep connection.

I am a curvy woman so if you prefer hard-bodied skinny women you need not apply. I am comfortable enough with my assets and faults to only seek the company of men who want what I have.

I also tend to value maturity but, need someone who can keep up with me. I have dated/played naked with men ranging from 22 to 60 in recent years and agree age is just a number but, tend to feel most comfortable with the notion of a partner within 6 years of my age in either direction.

I love travel and culture and have lived in Paris. I look forward to exploring the world with the right partner. I especially enjoy using my gift for foreign languages.

I am attracted to a man who enjoys life, laughs easily (especially at himself) and who understands what is important in life. Someone with a zest for life, spontaneous, clever, witty and who loves intelligent banter. Someone who is discerning, questioning, evolving and enjoys being challenged. May we unleash the best in one another.

Wasting it until I find you...

I am in administrative support staff at a school district that serves emotionally disturbed children. My boss calls me the Goddess of Excel. I hope my work supports the kids that need it most but, I don't have the privilege of working directly with them. My work affords me a very balanced life with more paid time off than most Europeans.

I also volunteer as a weekend home handler of service dogs in training which has been incredibly rewarding. I am now covered in dog saliva and fur for most of the weekend but, I clean up easily.

I have varied interests including, being in nature especially by the ocean or in the mountains, travel thus far US, Europe and the Caribbean, exercise everything from yoga to weight training, sports mostly as a participant and not a spectator, and anything cultural from theater and movies to concerts, museums, zoos, etc.

Despite being somewhat of an intellectual elitist, I am not well read although I have become hooked on audiobooks.

As a recovering perfectionist, I tend to excel in many areas. Specifically I love brain candy so puzzles are one of my strengths.
I also speak several foreign languages and am a great communicator.
I am good at making lifelong friends with total strangers on planes (my mother calls this people collecting)
I am fabulous with children and genuinely love being in their company despite having none of my own.
I am really good at giving pleasure but, not as good at receiving it. I would elaborate on this but, some things are better left unsaid in cyberspace.

Hair, eyes, smile

Movies: The Usual Suspects, A Fish Called Wanda, Chocolat
Music: U2, Sarah McLachlan, Alanis Morrisette, anything with thought provoking lyrics
Food: European Dark Chocolate

Assuming people are not things of course:

Passion
Phone
Internet
Dark Chocolate
Travel
Introspection

Me (unfortunately) and how I can make a difference in the lives of others. How I need to evolve to be able to create a deep meaningful life long connection with a man that I cherish. Perhaps I spend too much time thinking and not enough time doing.

Working, home, dining with friends or on a date

I am an open book, ask me anything

You are interested in getting to know me better and...
You enjoy all forms of communication
You know the art of innuendo
You know how to navigate curves
You have a talented tongue in both word and deed
You are open to sexual and spiritual exploration
You are man enough to handle me
You are willing to dedicate time in your life to a relationship
You don't start communication with the word "Hey"
