I am creative, funny, self-sufficient, clean, plump and attractive, and I belong to a somewhat dysfunctional but lovable family. My only son is grown. My dog is smarter than many people I know. It would be nice to get out of the house on occasion, but I do work long hours since I work in nursing management. I am financially stable, a home-owner, and I seek the same. I am not a telephone-talker; I prefer real conversations or e-mails when life gets busy. I am a great cook, and I am fun and witty (with Yankee sarcasm at times). My Middle Eastern roots have taught me to be serving, devoted, and strong. Looking for a guy who is tall, thick, has similar interests, comfortable to be around, a good conversation, and knows when to be serious and when to be fun. Good kisser and hugger is a plus. Someone who is pionate and a food-romantic is a must. Must be family-oriented, appreciate togetherness, and be a committed employee who can show me how to equally divide my time the same way. I like a guy who is pionate, sincere, exciting and not afraid to swear a lot. A compatible man cannot be middle-of-the road, live in gray areas, inside the box or be indecisive. Must enjoy going out and staying home, laughing and being serious, honest and devious, fast and slow, take charge and know when to be submissive, spontaneous and dependable. Similar interests would be nice, such as playing poker. A guy who thinks TV sucks would be nice, too.
