Hello fellow MN redditors looking for love! 35-year old woman in central MN here with no kids and a stable career/business in finance. I own my home, car, have a great friend group/active social life, and would like to find someone to share my life with (not looking for hookups), so giving this a try again!

I'm funny, smart, charming when I feel like it haha, and a BBW but have also been told I'm beautiful so there's that lol. For fun, I enjoy volunteering, spending time with my family and friends (preferably near, in, or on a body of water), lifting weights, doing karaoke, getting out on my motorcycle when the weather is nice, traveling, putting together puzzles, baking delicious things, going to concerts, listening to podcasts, remodeling my house, reading, going to the movies, finding local live music to listen to, running, you know, the usual! A cozy night in cuddled up watching Netflix is also a great time in my book. I've got a cat that's a hilarious asshole but I love her. I'm also a big 'ol fan of spreadsheets so let me know if we can geek out together over the best way to analyze data with them!

I'm a nerd that loves efficiencies so let me hit you with the dealbreakers I need first so I don't waste either of our time: - single - general age range of 27-42 - looking for a long-term relationship - no kids but want them in the future - living on your own - have your own transportation - nonsmoker - employed full time in a stable career - politically progressive (Black lives matter, trans lives matter, and I don't have the energy to explain why to my partner, I just need to be with someone that gets it. I'm located in a pretty rural, conservative area so it's hard to find someone like this out here, we kind of have to hide lol) - willing to live in a (beautiful) rural area (my business unfortunately isn't portable) when things get serious in the future - not religious - monogamous - good communication skills (I prefer consistent, good conversation both when getting to know someone and once in a relationship, feeling like you're getting ghosted constantly is a roller coaster I don't enjoy riding lol) - emotionally and functionally available (quality time is one of my top love languages) - be somewhat near the Carver/McLeod/Meeker/Renville county area of Minnesota so spending time together is feasible. I will not do long distance again so please don't waste either of our time if you're far away.

All of these are not to knock anyone in a different situation, but just to find someone that's in a similar phase of life as me that I'm more likely to be compatible with.

Things I'm also looking for: a guy that's kind, intelligent, takes initiative, wants a healthy relationship, emotionally intelligent, takes care of himself, and seeks an equal partner in life's adventures. If you make me laugh, even better! If you're into Myers Briggs, let me know your type, that's always interesting to me; but if you're not, no worries lol, I know that's a little obscure.

I didn't want to add this but it's needed - I love sex (might as well add here I'll definitely need a partner who absolutely loves giving and receiving oral as much as I do, and if you can appreciate a dominant woman with a big booty we'll get along swimmingly), but I do not wish for our conversation to be sexual before we even meet for the first time. If that's not something you can hold off on, please move on because that's a firm boundary for me. If this works out, we'll have all the time in the world for that.

If you've made it this far, thank you for coming to my TED talk! If you think we might be a good fit, shoot me a message with a FACE pic so I know you took the time to read all the way to the end lol, and I'll reply back with one! I look forward to getting to know you and meeting up in person!
