I recently got my mojo back after a 5-year hiatus (divorce and its aftermath) and it's almost like being born again or cured of a deadly disease! I'm bi-coastal, trilingual plus, adventurous, unconventional, outgoing, friendly, sexy, affectionate, joyful, spontaneous, intelligent and somewhat over-educated. I have medium length blond hair, expressive hazel (sometimes green sometimes orange) eyes and a warm smile. I smile a lot. I carry a few extra pounds and am well endowed, but my hands and feet are long and narrow. I wear hats & boots often. I HAVE NO PRIVATE PHOTOS SO NO NEED FOR BLACK BOOK REQUESTS! I'm an ex-smoker (since 1998), I drink alcohol socially (good Vodka dirty martini on the rocks, wine with food, triple-fermented Belgian Beer) and I love to cook. I'm willfully child-free (not pitifully child-less) I enjoy children and get along well with them - just never wanted to take one home for keeps. And no, I don't regret not having kids! I love foreign languages - especially the Romance Languages. I also love history . . . and so naturally I also love the history of languages. I experience languages like most people experience music: Viscerally. I hear the rhythm, the melody, the passion, the emotion . . . and I feel it. I taste it. DANCING is one of my greatest passions, especially Salsa and slow dancing, if we can stand real close - feel the heat and really get into the music! I travel a lot (I love camping and taking road trips in my mini-RV, a 2002 Rialta. I've been a "California Girl" for many years (we don't get older - we just get blonder) but my NYC roots are never very far from the surface, (not the accent - just the attitude - "you gotta problem wit dat?"), which means I've also been called "too honest" - whatever that means, too talkative, too busy, too curious, too driven, too blunt, too stubborn and sometimes just plain contrary. If you want to know what I'm thinking ...... just ask . . . or wait a minute . . . I'll probably tell you even if you don't ask, LOL If you want someone to tell you what you want to hear . . . ask someone else. My politics vary from slightly left of Che Guevara on some issues, to right of Reagan on others. You'll have to guess which ;-)

Salsa Dancing On2 NY Style - all night long then going "home" and making love 'til dawn. Camping at the beach (somewhere warm) a midnight-moonlight naked swim then making love 'til dawn. Scuba diving all day watching tropical fish watch us - then making love all night. Seeing a great live show (Theater, Music, Dance . . whatever) having a great dinner - then making love 'til dawn. Walking the streets of Rome (Copacabana Beach, Paris, Barcelona) all night under a full moon, watching the sun come up, then going "home" to make love all morning. Foraging in the forest for exotic wild mushrooms and ferns then cooking an elaborate dinner, brunch or ??? sharing champagne, massages, other spa treatments . . . then . . you know . . . the usual. Exploring a bamboo forest, fishing in a hidden creek/waterfall, whitewater rafting, sailing in a moonlit cove, digging clams, diving for abalone, . . . it's endless!

I look for creative men with high energy, humor, enthusiasm, integrity, spontaneity, ingenuity, high sex drive and an insatiable appetite for knowledge of all things. I like men with important ideas who fight with windmills for what they believe in - like I do and who are defiant when the situation warrants. I’m attracted to men who are tall, expansive in their presence and exceedingly handsome. It's all in the bones . . . & I always fall for that chiseled look. On my own, I'm never bored and rarely lonely but I do often ache for a "Close Encounter of the Intimate Kind" that doesn't bore me to death after the first few hours. I'm not looking for "casual sex" nor am I interested in marriage or cohabitation, (been there, done that), but I wouldn't mind a close, ongoing relationship that includes great love-making, occasional sleepovers, travel, and other adventures. You should contact me if you are: *Exceedingly handsome and somewhat tall, with long hair on your head and little or no facial or body hair. *A night owl - creative & sexual at night *High Energy, intelligent and engaged in what you're doing. *A great lover with a fondness for older women but can manage to get through a few conversations & perhaps a meetup or several without asking my "real" age. *Able to flirt and make me want to meet you WITHOUT either sending a photo or a detailed description of your huge penis &/or your sexual prowess. You: *Like a challenge, *Like to laugh, *Can make me laugh *Can hold an intelligent conversation for more than 1/2 hr, *Can hold an intelligent conversation in Portuguese, Spanish or Italian for more than a 1/2 hr. *Are self-supporting and self-sustaining. *Love to dance and are a GOOD dancer. *Don't smoke, *Don't drink to excess *Like to go to outdoor theaters/events *Like indoor theater/events *Like road trips *Think it would be interesting I am not looking for a "hookup" or marriage. I want a real connection with a man who is interested in an ongoing relationship and wants to spend quality time with a deeply passionate, intelligent, experienced, funny, entertaining, curious and caring woman. That's who I am. Please DON'T message me if: *You define yourself by and/or seriously believe in ANY of the monotheistic or other dogmatic religions. *You are a narcissist *You smoke or are an alcoholic or a stoner. *You are a serious right wing Tea Party kind of Republican or any serious Republican in today's political environment. *You shave your head and/or wear a beard as part of your style or persona, are covered with tattoos, wear sandals with socks, wear patchouli oil and/or insist on burning incense. *You expect me to watch sports with you or go motorcycle riding with you. *You do not have a photo of your face posted or attach one to your message.
