Women from all 50 States and Canada are welcome!-- (I'm looking for friends but more importantly a long term relationship)....Who am I?.... I'm a fairly private individual, natural diplomat, reasonable, tolerant, fair, always willing to listen to varying viewpoints, and ready to see the other side of an issue. I'm like CNN....I share developing stories on the news, sports, life, nutrition and health. Others see me as an agreeable, smooth, harmonious, "nice" person. Though there is much more to me than the sort of face I show to the world. I have a thoughtful, quiet, and self-contained disposition. I also have a respect for tradition, even if I don't agree with certain laws. Some people say that I am an Intellectual-Heavyweight! I'm never satisfied with the face value of anything. I always probe beneath the surface with "x-ray vision", regarding the inner motivations and intentions of others. I'm open-minded and have an ongoing interest in learning and expanding my mental horizons. I'm pretty good at making others laugh and keeping a straight face with my sense of humor (most of the time). Even in the absence of experience, I seem to "just know" things. Although some people think they know me, they don't really know how I operate. I open myself to very few people. I share affection with close friends and family very generously. Having close family ties is a major priority for me. A lot of the things I do, I like to keep personal. I like to keep the relationships that I have with people private. I never want to come off as trying to get recognition or PR for what I do. Sometimes I get challenged and might spit fire back, nothing more and nothing less. If offended, I will react calmly even if a hurricane is raging inside of me. There's so many emotions at the end of the day & nobody likes to talk about it; but one of them is fear....Fear that you come this far & it can end this far. The dream could die; but me, I like the fear. It means I'm close. It means I'm ready!
