I would describe myself as calm, quiet, collected and a deep thinker. A real smart and ebullient woman. A woman with bright smile at all times. Please do not misconstrue self-confidence for arrogance, because I can't stand those personality traits either. Justified confidence is earned through exposure to life's hardships. Humor and humility are my strong suits. I'm a genuinely happy person, and life's been good to me. I enjoy all types of music from classical to smooth jazz, the culinary arts, as well as music festivals, fishing, boating, the beach, museums, bowling, gardening, camping music, I'm an avid reader and I do enjoy spending time with someone I love. Since we are not here to waste each other's time please: Men who should NOT contact me and are unacceptable to me as a dating partner: Dishonest fellow, alcoholics, druggies, disrespectful or narcissistic personalities. Turns on for me: Class, charisma, intelligence, self-confidence, articulate conversation good sense humor, honesty, conviction in your belief system, nature lover optimistic conservatism, life accomplishments, nothing materialistic, easy going. In all things, let your conscience be your guide...
