Enter at your peril. Yellow light. Proceed with caution. Don't make the ACTION if you are NOT prepared for the results. Still reading? GREAT! Take the time to read EVERY word.

I am an outgoing, attractive, well-read woman who is looking for a confident, stable, healthy, secure man for a long-term, committed relationship.

Physical activity is very important to me. I go to the gym 6-8 times a week for Zumba, kickboxing and water aerobics. It’s very important that my partner is also active and takes care of himself. He’ll need to exercise regularly since I’m a great cook and baker and love hosting dinner parties for my friends – they’re always happy and stuffed when they leave!

I like to go out a lot with my friends. The place is not as important as having great conversation and lots of laughs, usually till my belly hurts. I also love a good movie and my favorite cinema is the Landmark Bethesda Row. Going out to dinner with friends or my date is great too - there are some great restaurants around this area. A few of my favorites are Thai Tanium, India Palace and Lebanese Taverna, but I’m open to trying something you like too.

Despite a stint in Japan, would you believe I don't like sushi? But I sure love Korean. Bring on the kimchee!

My ideal partner is 40-55 and C-A-U-C-A-S-I-A-N. THIS IS NON-NEGOTIABLE and if you don't fit into this range, DON''T WRITE ME! I am SICK of you 25 year old BOYS writing me! YES, I DO mind your age! And YES I DO MIND YOUR RACE!

I’m looking for a man who is very confident, emotionally stable, and financially secure (ideally you own your own home), and college-educated. You have a very active lifestyle, take care of yourself and your body, exercise regularly (like I do), and have good fashion sense. You love to travel and to try out new restaurants. You are ready for a long term relationship. If you have children, they are grown and live away from home. I have never been married, have no children or pets, and have no desire for either. Ask me about the dead plant that used to live on my balcony.

I went from teaching to a desk job almost 11 months ago. I haven't had a desk job since I was in my early 20s and it's a huge adjustment for someone as full of energy (NRG) and active as I am. However, these are tough times for everyone and I feel so blessed and grateful to have a job with a steady paycheck.

I am told my energy is contagious. People tell me I am good at motivating and inspiring others. I have a group of friends who enjoy working out with me and will literally stand next to me during class so they can get my energy.

And oh, did I mention I'm a very accomplished cook and baker? Coming up next: a traditional Filipino dish called chicken adobo. I also made a traditional Italian cheesecake for my dad for Father's Day present.

It's a triple tie between my height, my long, jet black hair and my dynamite figure. Please note I have chosen CURVY because that's what I am. Before curvy was stolen to be a euphemism for a flabby woman, it was used to describe a woman with a flat tummy and large breasts and well, that's ME.

My TV is rarely on but back in the day I loved Sex and the City and have seen EVERY episode ever made. My favorite movie is the Graduate. I saw it for the first time @ 17 and have seen it more times than my age and I NEVER get tired of it.

I also loved the movie Argo, so much I saw it twice. Argo *uck yourself. Best.Line.EVER!

Music? Wow. Too many too list. Why do you think I own TWO iPods? )

I love going out to dinner with friends or my date is great too - there are some great restaurants around this area. A few of my favorites are Thai Tanium, India Palace and Lebanese Taverna, but I’m open to trying something you like too.

Despite a stint in Japan, would you believe I don't like sushi? But I sure love Korean. Bring on the kimchee!

In no particular order....

1. A tie between my iPod and my iPad
2. Hair straightener
3. chocolate
4. My car
5. My SmartPhone
6. My workout gear

Too many things to list here. However, right now I am thinking about I am going to do my first kickboxing marathon tonight and I am wondering I am going to be able to go the whole hour and a half. Whose got stamina? Hopefully, I do!

Usually home. After work I usually workout, then I come home, eat supper, chill and go to bed early so I can be all ready for the weekend. Or I could be out on a date with you!

This is for only me and my partner to know!

I am a strong believer in taking these things off line and meeting for a coffee as this is all that is necessary to determine a connection, commonality and chemistry. I AM NOT INTO E MAIL PEN PALS . DO NOT even get me started on texting. What a cop out! And talking on the phone all the time with no words about actually meeting up. Well.......

I'm a very attractive and intriguing woman if I do say so myself. I'm female, Jewish and I've lived in a Muslim country. Want to know more? Just ask…

One last thing – please take the time to READ MY PROFILE. These words are here for a reason - take them seriously. I clearly explain what I’m looking for. Do not waste my time or yours if you are in your TWENTIES or THIRTIES and/or not in the Washington, DC, Maryland or Virginia metro area, or if you are NOT Caucasian. You’re NOT what I’m looking for. If you’re lucky I will immediately delete your emails. You really do NOT want me to respond
Ok. You have been warned. Getting off my soapbox now, but damn, I look great on it. ;)
