Alright. I suppose this is my weird post allowance. So, I'll let it shoot from the hip.

I want to be as transparent as possible regarding what I want. I have posted to reddit in the past, but haven't had any luck finding what I am looking for. Which, I suppose is to be expected. I figure, maybe I can better aid in that process and see where it goes.

A little bit about me. I am, by societies standards, a highly educated woman. However, while at times useful, real education does not come in that package to me. I am areligious. Not pagan. Not spiritual in the typical sense. I won't use mushroom, practice yoga, look for a guru. I stay far away from that stuff. It disagrees with me. But I do believe in a Creator. I pray to. I follow a spiritual journey. I see myself as more of a student of the truths of the world. I've been shown plenty and seek more. It does, in it's own regimented way, influence my life. So, someone understanding or willing to, that company would be great.

Appearance wise. I am a black woman. Slightly shorter than average. I don't do anything crazy to my appearance. I prefer a natural look. I have been told I am pretty. I think that sometimes but am not a very self-involved person. I am not skinny. Not really fat. "Curvy" seems to work. I have brown eyes and hair that naturally appears reddish at times.

I enjoy using my hands and brain equally. I enjoy discussing the fruit of my learning. I know a great deal about social phenomenon and discuss that at large. I enjoy DIY, adventures, road trips, photography. I am working towards homesteading.

I am a traditional woman, looking for a traditional man. I like a man strong in his masculinity. A man not threatened by a strong woman, and who has an endearment towards the relationship. I am not sure I want to have children. I lean towards not. So, happiness to me looks like having a very part-time career while focusing on putting my creative energy into crafting a beautiful home alongside my partner.

I have a desire to move out to a more rural area, potentially out of state, or the country. Depending on what's best.

There are other things to learn about me. If I do seem to be of interest.

I have dated and had crushes on all sorts of people, but appearance meeting personality and in person chemistry tends to be the greatest indicator of where my heart while lie with someone. So, do shy away from offering up a photo. I do tend to have a type. Nordic men seem to be a weakness for me I can't shake. So, take that for what you will. Ages 28-38 are most preferred.

Outside of a love interest, I'm interested in making new friends if that seems like a good idea. I am trying to learn a few new languages. ASL, a Scandinavian one, and Spanish. So, that's a bit about me.

I have had some hard times recently. So, someone not afraid of life is preferred. But here goes nothing. Thanks for the read.
