Soapgoddess, 79

seeking gentleman companion I'm originally from Illinois and have lived in the San Francisco Bay Area since 1977. I'm semi-retired and have my own business. I like to read mysteries, dine out, day trips, walk for exercise, visit my oldest son and DIL in Henderson, Nevada 2-3 times a year.

I'm complicated, straightforward, loyal, and honest.

I like staying current on politics. I'm a registered independent.

I'm looking for a gentleman companion without "benefits". Someone who enjoys the company of women without being controlling or pushy. I would like to get to know you online before talking by phone or meeting in person. Not looking for an instant relationship.

I seriously do not wish to communicate with anyone under 68. Someone in his 70's would be even better. I'm not the romantic type. More the practical and logical type.

I really enjoy walking around San Francisco and day trips to Calistoga, other places in the Bay Area and beyond. I like dining out, movies, reading mysteries, my hobbies, visiting with family. I have tattoos.

I'm very independent and looking for a very special man. I should mention that I'm not much of a cuddler and don't dance. I'm a huge rock'n'roll fan but like any kind of good music. Anything but rap, hip hop and country.
