How would you describe yourself?
Unique, cute, geeky, funny, curious, Jewish, disability advocate, tactile, educated, Southern, Burner (Burning Man), Mom of one wondrous biracial and dual citizen little girl(she has UK and American citizenship-lucky thing!).
My biggest love in life (besides my kiddo!) is to travel. I love to explore the world around me, camp, travel, and discover. I've been all around the UK (attended one year of law school there, even, and was married to an Englishman), Ireland, France, Germany, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, Italy, Switzerland, Israel, Mexico, Canada, Jamaica, St. Marten, St. Croix, the Bahamas... You get the picture! LOL However, Antarctica, Egypt, Morocco, Japan, Hong Kong, Goya, Portugal, Spain, Korea, and Thailand are on my list of places I'd like to go. I'm an avid reader and constantly seeking and learning. I would love to learn to fly a plane, speak Mandarin, and know more about fully appreciating fine wines and single malt scotch(so far, I'm an Islay girl... I love the peaty taste!).
I also love to cook-and my friends and family are always clamoring for me to make something. I cook completely from scratch, with local and whole ingredients(no bleached ingredients, white sugar, or artificial anything in my dishes or pantry!!). I'm kind of a country girl at heart, so I sometimes actually pick my own produce and can and preserve it. I am something of a gourmand and enjoy dining in everything from fine restaurants to food trucks. I love cuisine from around the world and try recreating what I've tasted, in my own kitchen. Sometimes, it's a huge flop(I am never attempting gnocchi, again!)... But the process is fun! Lol
I have an eclectic group of activities I participate in, and interests- and they are too numerous to list. I'm an avid reader-I usually have 3 books I'm reading at the same time. I love being with friends and socializing. I love cooking for people and having them over. I love to swim, snorkel, ride in boats, ride horses, camp, and trawl thrift stores for unique items for clothing, decoration, etc. I like to participate in geek activities, like cosplay, Cons(as in conventions), and other alt cultural events. I may live for the moment, but I also have my eye on the horizon.;-)
I am a square peg in a round hole kinda world, but I embrace being different. I do not feel pressure to be like everyone else, which is a good thing- in my opinion. I try to have an open mind about most things. I know that life is not promised, so I live mine in a way that makes me happy. I believe in love, tolerance, respect and acceptance. I have a generous heart and spirit. I appreciate and I am humbled that I have many wonderful people in my life. I am a social person, but I also enjoy solitude. I educate and conduct research on BDSM and disability. I am fortunate to be on a career path doing something interesting and novel. For some reason, because I am very frank about sexuality and a non conformist=bad girl. I am curious about that label, but as the saying goes,"Well behaved women seldom make history.". I do not know about making history, but remaining true to oneself is the best recipe for happiness!
I am looking for
First off- a gentleman. I am Southern, after all!:-) I insist on being treated like the lady that I am, and with respect. I would like to find a man who is kind. I tend to go for extremely intelligent men, but that seems to go hand in hand with being attracted solely to geeks! I adore shy and quiet guys with a sense of humour, but I also enjoy men who are outgoing and social. He also needs to be confident in himself, have an open outlook on life, and appreciate the joy and beauty in the world. I have dated men from all over the world, and was married to a man from England. Also, if he has been to Burning Man or a regional BM sanctioned Burn-then we definitely should talk!
I am also seeking a genuine relationship with someone. Please don't contact me if you are trying to play "Catfish" style games on here, have no interest in actually meeting in person, or just looking for some "exotic" black sexual action. I do not have time to deal with dishonesty, engage in endless sexting with guys I haven't met, etc. I will definitely get Skype confirmation and talk for awhile. (Let's just say the past month has opened up my eyes to the dishonesty I've heard about on dating sites. I remain positive- we'll find each other!:-) ) I am a real woman, trying to find a real man. When I find him, he will be the luckiest man on Earth, because I will treat him like gold. He will know he is valued and appreciated by me, everyday. I have so much love to give, and I look forward to sharing the rest of my life with him.
Other than that- I'm open! I find that I am actually more attracted to a person's spirit, rather than their race, so I refuse to limit myself solely based on a particular ethnicity.
P. S. I can not instant message-my phone&tablet do not support the software, because it requires Flash. You will just have to write or send a flirt. I'm considerate and genuinely kind. I believe in letting someone know up front what I think about our compatibility, etc. Otherwise, it is a colossal waste of time for both of us.
