Sometimes posting on these subs is a gamble. I’ve met some decent people but as with life and on here, conversations or chemistry tend to die off or there’s ghosting involved or there’s personality clashes, so I took a short break and decided to try this once again.

 I’m 40 years old. I’m single. I don’t have kids. I’ll be upfront that I’m plus size. I’m also Latina. I enjoy reading, cooking, watching sports [hockey and football], love swimming

 I’m not looking for anything casual, but rather dating that will lead to a serious relationship. My job keeps me moving and I like to keep active (when I’m not lazy or tired from work) so I’m looking for the same in my partner, whether he likes to lift weights or what not. I’ve never been camping so I’d like to try that sometime or playfully spar together (I’m a tomboy at heart so I like those things). If you enjoy lifting heavy things or getting your hands dirty, I hope you don’t mind if I watch.

 I like to believe I’m funny, supportive, honest, loyal. I can be stubborn and feisty. I’m not for everyone, but I am for the right man. I’m not a meek woman. I want a relationship where we are as equal as we can be (with mutual respect for our differences) and we support and love each other through the thick and thin.

 So what I’m looking for is someone who has a good head on their shoulders, hardworking, honest, kind, laid back, handsome, funny, and very family oriented (my family means a lot to me).

 I do have a strong preference for the tall, strong burly type (I’m about 5’8 so the taller the better) If I can sit on your lap or be lifted with not much problem, I’ll be in love, haha. I prefer caucasian

 Someone local is also preferred, but I’m open to other areas of the US and close to my age. 100% single. I can also see why some people are attracted to men in uniform. How come there’s a lot of cute cops/firefighters?

 Any “hey” or “hi” low effort posts will be blocked.

 For those reading, thanks for looking and I hope you get a chance to find love. It’s out there.
