Smaller BBW for intelligence, caring and silliness
I am beginning to think a guy like this does not exist - at least on CL - please prove me wrong!
Attraction is not purely based on thge physical - mental, inner qualities, emotions and values come first.
You might be overweight yourself or carrying a few extra pounds and enjoy walking together for fun and to get healthy
Writing emails first to get to know each other before calling or meeting is your style.
Thoughtfulness, intelligence, sincerity and really being there for someone is what you cherish in a partnership
Really show that you want to be in a meaningful LTR ... over time ... and have learned from past meaningful LTRs
Sex is an important and exciting part of a relationship when you have gotten to know each other on that level and feel emotionally connected first.
You are deep, mature and serious, but also fun and silly or witty ... without being sarcastic
You love animals ... cats in particular? ... and might also live with a special pet
Maybe you volunteer for a worthwhile cause
Mythology, ancient cultures and different forms of spirituality interest you with maybe books, old things, animals and being a sincerely happy positive self confident person
You are not materialistic and money is not first in your mind of values
You might drink once in awhile, but do not frequent bars or clubs and parties to have fun
You like to get out and go to see movies, museums, libraries, lectures, amusement parks, mini golf, board games, walk in nature ... but also enjoy quiet times at home, reading, writing, cuddling with someone special; relaxing in the bathtub or shower, watching tv or a movies with someone sweet; making dinner in and see that as fun in itself
Honestly communicating with someone is important to you and you value listening so that both partners needs are met; plus during an arguement you really want to hear what the other person is feeling, value that and really want to get to know someone from the inside out
If you have made it this far and feel we have similarities write me now!
Picture for picture, but after a few letters please so that I know you value communication.

I lead a simple life and am not into material things. Staying at home and spending time with my cat, watching tv or reading/ writing a story is just as fun (sometimes more fun) than going out to a bar for the night. I volunteer my time helping animals and animal cause. It would be nice if you volunteered as well in some cause that shows compassion to you. I am very deep in my spiritual beliefs of energy being based in kindness - to put it simply. Some of my best friends are animals who I connect with and cherish in my life. I love to take long walks to the library, Jamba Juice or just to people watch and have no destination in mind.

Being a true friend that is there when needed, researching the Internet or library to find anything (I have worked as a librarian doing just this - it's fun to me), being a wonderful partner in a relationship and thinking of my partner's needs before my own, communicating while listening and compromising. Reading bedtime stories with voices is a fun thing I have not done in a bit - as my cat shows no interest :-) Visiting museums and art galleries to tell and explore a works history or story ... my BA is in Art History so reading art and thinking of or making up it's story is fun!

Probably that I am big or whatever you want to call it ... but people tell me that I am kind and caring, a great listener and that I have wonderful communication skills. I have been told I am a great friend and a person to confide in whenever I have been blessed to know such important people. I truly care about people, animals and our planet. The nerdy librarian side of me is noticed after talking for a bit to :-)

Books:
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, The Chalice and the Blade, The Power of Myth, Nancy Drews, Sue Graftons, Agatha Christie, Chronicles of Narnia, all types of mystery novels, Margaret Atwood, Alice in Wonderland

Movies:
I like drama, comedy, mysteries, sci fi, romantic, animation, documentaries and just about anything except horror or blow them up action movies with no real plot. Sprited Away, Xfiles, the Dark Crystal, Indiana Jones, Back to the Future, The Power of Myth, Shrek, Monsters, Alfred Hitchcock, the Mummy, The Mists of Avalon, Brokedown Place .... many you have to think about that I can't think of now lol

TV:
Love Discovery channel, National Geographic, How I Met Your Mother, Big Bang Theory, Monk, Psych, Seinfeld (even in rerun), The Office (so smart but funny), mystery shows, lots of comedies I don't want to mention :-)

Food:
Pizza (my weakness, but also healthy when I exercise alot I lose weight even when eating it), Mexican, Italian, Chinese.

My sweet, entertaining true furry companion - who happens to have the body of a cat :-)
My best friendship with my mom
Hope ... for love, peace, kindness ect ... as with the Pandora story if you don't have hope what kind of life would you have - very negative and depressing
The wonderful Santa Cruz ocean. I am lucky to live within a ten minute walk of it :-)
Books - especially the deep esoteric weird ones most people don't bother to read
Iced tea - it's my thing :-)
Crunchy leaves - I love to jump on them!

I want to meet my best friend and possible life partner over time. My heart cares deeply, yet I am strong and don’t play games or accept those that do. Family is important to me. I am not sure about kids or getting married yet, but I know what it means to love someone and show them that through respect, compromise, maturity and caring for them deeply - even when tension is high. This is when you need to give time to each other to breath, but also not shut them out. Great communication skills is most important at theses times even if all you say is you don’t know what your feeling but can work it out together.

I also contemplate the meaning of life and deep spiritual subjects, being silly or trying to clean my small apartment :-)

Taking a walk downtown to see what is going on, maybe visiting a book discussion group, sometimes I go to a movie , playing with my sweet kitty, writing something deep and meaningful, playing a video game or watching tv ....

often watching tv since I don't like to go out alone really ... that's why I am on this site - to meet someone nice to go out with or stay at home for entertainment :-)

I love Pilot Vball pens and keep a box that I WILL NOT lend to anyone .... unless your super sweet :-)

Your really interested in getting to know a fabulous caring woman like me!
