Howdy y'all.

I've posted a few times here, on NSFW, and still haven't found what I'm looking for - so here's to trying again. I'm a 34 year old woman who is seeking a fellow adult to connect with on not just a physical - but an emotional level. I have had plenty of fun in my life, and am an adventurous soul - but I have zero wants to have casual sex with random men who are willing to fuck anything that breathes. I want a real guy, who is able to be vulnerable, who has their own identity, and who wants to build something long term. There's no guarantee that something would be viable for the next 5 years - but I certainly want to find someone who has that as a goal, and understands the security and peace a stable partner can bring. I am not interested in any type of poly/ENM scenario.

A little about me. I'm 5'6, and shaved my head about two years ago when my dog of 9 years passed. I have really enjoyed, and experienced a new side of life post hair. I do however wear wigs from time to time, and would love to even find a guy who would be down with shaving my hair - I'll tip you in fun ways... I'm chubby, and have always been a larger gal - but I am healthy, not diabetic, and working on getting to a better place so I can feel more comfortable in my clothes. I'm hella cute, with freckles - please see my profile for some recent photos. I am fit, I do not enjoy rotting on the couch - but for my peace of mind I'd prefer a guy who is attracted to my body type. For me - I'm typically looking for a guy over 5'10, and over the age of 28.

I'm originally from Texas, college educated on the east coast, and most recently moved to Seattle from Los Angeles. I've owned a pet sitting business for the last 5 years, and I am a Tour Guide taking folks up to Mt. Rainier during the summer. I love to travel, I love languages, and I love to learn. My perfect weekend would be taking a road trip, or jump on a plane to a new place. Try new foods, meet locals, and explore all the sights I can muster. I make killer play lists, and am both a great captain and co-pilot. I'm a HUGE MLB fan, and would love to make it to all stadiums, I'd also like to make it to all of the National Parks.

Authenticity, honest, and direct communication is what I need - and unfortunately I've been thru traumas of dating men who future faked, were addicted to drugs, and those that wanted to just be a hermit in the woods. Community is paramount to me, and looking for a man who feels the same passion. Somehow I feel like I'd work best with someone who also has the intense desire for genuine connection, someone who enjoys talking, and who wants to be a teammate. I've run into many issues at my current age where either a guy is intelligent and funny - but then has zero game or sex drive. In the reverse, plenty of guys who I'm sure the sex is great - but I find them incompetent. I'm a sapiosexual, so intelligence is foreplay.

I cook, I clean, I nurture. I'm a devout atheist, and I vote for every fucking election. I have my own life, with friends, hobbies, and goals - hoping my partner has the same. It would be awesome to share all of that, and the rent with another person. Plus I just want to cuddle, and be held by someone I respect and admire. I will also hold you too. This has now become a rant, but that's me. Please let me know if you have any additional questions, and if you want to grab lunch or dinner this week/weekend. I'm a real gal, the real deal, and hoping to find the same. Someone deep who loves poetry, nature, and love as much as I do. Cry with me over art.
