I am a very independent woman who is simply looking for someone to connect with as a friend first, since I don't believe that a relationship can last without first really liking one another. I am attractive, tend to look younger than I am, and am intelligent. Attraction, of course is important, but everyone's idea of what is attractive differs. Being able to connect on many levels is important to me. I have raised my children and been on my own for many years - I don't need someone to take care of me. I value honesty, faithfullness, integrity, and a bunch of other good qualities. I love nature, animals, have a passion for the environment, read a huge amount, and am always hungry to learn. There is a whole lot more to me, but going on for even this long is not the way I usually do things. I REALLY hate these profiles. I don't post my pic because I value my privacy above all else.
