Merody, 47

I am a happy lady that loves life and enjoys meeting people. I am -------, romantic, very young at heart, and love to laugh. Laughter is a big part of my life. It's good for the soul. I am open, honest, and upfront (its saves drama and time). I like music (of most kinds) nature, photography, museums, zoo's, camping (the real kind in a tent), forests, CA beaches, and all the beauty in the world.I love the way the forest air smells, the beach at 6 pm, sitting up all night over tea or coffee because we can't stop talking. This is romance to me. We make each other laugh (a lot). Over dinner and dancing, we debate, imagine and laugh. We can't stop kissing. We hold hands under the table. We sneak out of parties to make out under the stars and see if the moon is full. I believe that "in the end only kindness matters.

My man would have to have a sense of humor, total honesty, respect for myself and others, a good heart, and love for life. A man that IS a man.I look at the heart, personality, and chemistry of a man, and not his outer-self! If he's a positive person, good/kind hearted, has respect for others, funny, likes to kiss, and communicates as well as listens - then we're off to the right start!Honestly, it's not about how he looks on the outside - that's not what lasts! It's the connection/ chemistry! I am attracted to men that are funny, -------, and easy going. If you're married to your job (or married in life) and really don't have time for dating, please be honest with yourself (and me) and leave me out of your picture - life is too short, and I believe there's a time for work and for play, and we should PLAN for both. Many men will say it's the "inner beauty" that is important to them. I've been told I'm attractive, cute, intriguing, but I'm looking for the man that sees that inner beauty, and is attracted to the "ME" inside. "The desire to reach for the stars is ambitious, The desire to reach hearts is wise.
