Well, this is me in a nutshell: I am a genuine, caring, honest, generous and intelligent woman who is very pionate and determined about life and doing the right thing. I consider myself somewhat of a "rugged individual" (might want to look that up). I am fairly independent and also enjoy spending time by myself doing whatever interests me at the moment. The majority of my interests revolve around nature or art. I also love my friends and spend time with them whenever I can. Currently, I am working in the Landscaping industry. I have a true pion for the outdoors and would go crazy working in a cubicle or other office setting. I enjoy staying as fit as I can and making the world around me as beautiful as I can. The men I am most interested in are: • Somewhat physically fit (I really don't mean to sound rude, but I actually correlate this with self-esteem and energy/activity. A sedimentary life-style simply does not appeal to me.) • My age or less (pretty much the same reason as above) • Dark hair • Broad shoulders • Intelligence (not necessarily based on formal education) • Self-sufficient (I am, you should be, too) My turn-offs: • Disrespect • Dishonesty • Hairy chests • Baldness (don't take this personally) • Tattoos (one might be ok, but excessive is disturbing) • Lethargy • Lack of ability to hold an intelligent conversation. I am also not interested in a long distance "pen-pal" situation... Also, please don't pester me...that is also a big turn-off. :o) Geez...I sound just horribly picky, don't I?? No, just keeping it real! But, all this aside, if you simply want to chat or ask questions, let me know.
