ILUVSMARTMEN

Gentlemen: I regret the need to start on a negative, but I've been contacted by many, many scammers, and so this is addressed just to them: Please be aware that I have no money to send to you, regardless of how desperate your immediate needs may be. Please don't waste your time and mine, building a phony "relationship" with me, simply to ask me for money. I will not send any to a man I have never met. Been there, done that, and have the empty bank account to prove it.

For the scammers, to save my time and yours, and as a hint for the genuine seekers for a quality life partnership: If the initial contact here or later the email conversation sounds repetitious, unresponsive to my own questions or somehow plastic/canned, I copy some of the material, paste it into Google search, et voila, I can all too frequently see where the same wording has been identified as previously used by known scammers. I usually just block them and close out without further contact. After discovering the same problem with contacts on two different BBW sites two days in a row, I gave back a bit of advice to that particular scammer as to where they could speedily go. In fact, their material had been used in three different gender combinations. What an extraordinarily frustrating waste of my time and my good faith effort to find that special someone.

Now, back to the profile itself: I am single, have never married, and have no children. I am looking for someone 5-7 years older or younger than me, intelligent and sane, (a non-smoker, please), who would enjoy joining me in Florida - as a partner with his own interests and income to bring to the mix, not as a house husband. If I'm old enough to be your mother, (or grandmother!) I believe we won't make a good match. Our personal histories will be too different - from the music we know and like, and the experiences we've had, to the energy levels in our individual days - all of which contribute to a good relationship. Let's start with as much of those in common as possible. I'd prefer a strong man, who trades leadership roles with me according to our separate needs and abilities. I am self-employed, a pear shape, and generally friendly. Chatty, too, (as you may have detected here!) when the time and circumstances allow. Please ask me anything else you care to know.

Also, please note, gentlemen: I do not like the phrase "God fearing", and will not respond to a gentleman who uses it. (It's remarkable how many gentleman disregard this statement, too.)
