Yes, I made a throwaway to post this, even though there's nothing scandalous here. Can verify myself with SFW pics, and expect the same from you after some back and forth (let's be real, I'm the captain now, so you're probably going first)

I'm a woman in my early 40s who's keen to make ameaningful connection with a like-minded individual. Whether you're into binge-watching shows, exploring new hobbies, or enjoying the outdoors, I'm excited to share some laughter and good times together.

About Me:

• I'm an avid reader and a horror movie enthusiast, but I'm always up for a good laugh with comedy or reality shows. • Like most, I love music; especially hip-hop but I'm open to discovering new genres and anything that will make me move. Concerts are always a good time! • I thrive in the great outdoor and love being by the water during summertime. Road trips, biking, park hangs, rollerblading, golfing (read: poorly), fishing, etc. – count me in! • In the winter, you'll find me mostly hibernating, but I do enjoy hitting the slopes for some skiing or taking to the ice with my skates. • I absolutely adore sleeping, this is important to note. • Affection wise; hand-holding and PDAs? Yes, please! • While I can be finicky (I refuse to say 'picky' here) with foods due to texture preferences, I'm always up for an adventure and can find something to eat wherever I go. • I have a wide range of tastes, from cheap beer to champagne – it's all about the occasion and company! • I have a great sense of humor and love to laugh. I find comedy in the simple things; like kids falling down – it's pure gold!

What I'm Looking For (in the wrong place?):

• I'm open to a romantic monogamous relationships (and platonic connections if that's the energy we're bringing). Chemistry, mutual attraction and compatibility are key. • Respect and communication are non-negotiable for me. If all you want to talk about is sex, then we're not a match. • I am currently embracing abstinence (we can discuss what this means for me, and ultimately you) and seeking someone who respects that journey as we build a connection. • I'm not interested in individuals who are married or practice non-monogamous relationship dynamics. • Preference towards people of Caucasian or Black ethnicity, but, not a deal-breaker.

Non-negotiables:

• You also drive, or at the very least, are licensed. • You read this whole post, and understand that anything NSFW (pics or otherwise) will not be responded to. • You do not want children and/or you are done having children of your own. • If you identify as male, you are the same height or taller than me. It's a me thing, sorry short kings. • You are between the ages of 29 and 55

If you're someone who values genuine connections, enjoys exploring new experiences, and believes in mutual respect and communication, then I'd love to hear from you.

Let's embark on this journey together and see where it takes us! Looking forward to your message xo
