In Her Own Words
About Her
I used to be proud that I could change a truck tyre. I probably cannot anymore, and neither do I particularly want to. Little else has changed other than the fact that I’m older, heavier, wiser, and I cannot shimmy up a tree anymore.
I also used to have a fabulous career and a beautiful house. My career became obsolete, and I made stupid financial choices. The pandemic sealed my final fate. I'm now broke, and I don't own much at all. I hide from the world. Embarrassed. What I do have is resilience and an ability to work hard and pay my own way. I live from hand to mouth, and I live a humble existence.
Mainstream? No. Ridiculously out of the ordinary? No. Not from this planet? Perhaps.
As Forrest says - Life is like a box of chocolates. And the thrilling part is that I get to choose.
I'm creative, adventurous, and entrepreneurial. I’m shy. Big social gatherings leave me feeling unhinged, and the older I get, the more selfish I am with my time.
I prefer to camp, build a fire, and be in the wild. I'm happiest in my sarong somewhere in the tropics.
I hate shoes. I prefer not to wear makeup. I don't own a hairbrush
Fitness and gym attendance phases come and go like the phases of the moon. It is possibly better not to imagine me being a potential hiking or cycling buddy.
I welcome any chance to hitch my camping trailer and head to a game reserve. Camping and travelling alone is something I'm very comfortable doing. It would be nice to share those adventures with someone again.
I'm sort of well-balanced but probably, like most, have baggage. It's neatly labelled and packaged. Sort of.
I am, after all, just a girl ...
I am kind, creative, resourceful, industrious, and caring. Most of all, I have tons of love to give.
For now, possibly just coffee and friendship.
About Her Ideal Match
Someone emotionally secure and stable. Someone who can love unconditionally. Who does not try to change or manipulate. Someone with an even temperament and not tied to their past.
I like to be amazed and amused. I am attracted to men that are confident, intelligent, funny, witty, sociable, reliable, honest, ambitious, even-tempered, adventurous, generous, well-travelled, very knowledgeable, well-read, kind, trustworthy, with strong integrity, a sense of humour, and is kind to animals. I'm probably not for extreme health and fitness fanatics.
Essentially, he must have the unique ability to go into the wild. To be able to sleep under millions of stars. To watch a fire for hours. To laugh. Even at himself. To love unconditionally. To be gentle. To love life. To want to love and be loved. To understand life. To live life.........
I believe it's all about respect and trust. About trust - you can overlook anybody's flaws but if they break that trust - they are worthless. Trust in someone's love, integrity, and abilities.
IQ and EQ.
What sort of chocolate are you?
