patient, caring

I'm pretty easy going. But then again everyone thinks that of themselves. :o) I love to learn therefore I love to talk to interesting people who are passionate about something. I'm also a people watcher. I find the more we learn about others - the easier it is to be kind, non-judgemental, and merciful. Because we're really not all that different from each other. Everyone has baggage - 'reasons' why they are who they are. Whether I like them or not. :o) I'm a bit unconventional as pertains to societal standards. I've never been one to follow fads. As far as the bad side of me... the worst part is my hypocrisy. Though I talk of understanding people and being merciful and the like. There are a few groups of people that will test my patience. Profiteers and controllers. Whether in business or in private lives. I have a hard time with people that are all about the bottom line verses people. And as for the controllers, well... I'm very headstrong. I guess that's enough said...lol.
My other personality traits:-
First, I'm not quite sure what the difference is between personality and attributes? But, I'll go on. I'm enough of a stiff that I'm extremely organized. I like knowing where things are. But not so much of one that I stress over it. Well, not 'all' the time. :) I'm fairly adaptable, because I realize life throws you curves. Not that it doesn't take me longer than it use to...to go from one routine to another. But I try to put it in its place. But flowing with life will sometimes put you into the undependable column of those that like their rigid time tables and expectations. Events maybe. Time and expectations?...not so much I'm honest if confronted. Otherwise I keep a lot to myself, in the name of kindness and freedom. Except to family and REALLY close friends of course. ;) I'm extremely loyal to those who have shown the same to me. And even to some that haven't. I feel I am a good 'friend'. I try to be considerate of individuals. Respect goes a long way in maintaining a freindship. I don't steal, cheat, back stab or self-serve. Thus I'm always trying to do the right thing. Notice the 'trying' there. I am human. Though I love to be playful with a man, I do hold there is a standard for the public, and one for private. So I am a bit reserved in public. And... that's about all I can think of right now. Of course theres more to me. But who can write all about themselves in a few paragraphs?
Your ideal partner and the qualities you are looking for:-
A kind person. When you consider all the things it takes to be "kind", to not only people in general but to a mate, then that one word covers it all. Of course, knowing how to provide good foreplay isn't bad either. :o) ........ Nor is cooking, picking up after yourself, knowing how to change a flat properly, putting down the toilet seat and being very dipolmatic with the inlaws. :o0 lol NOTE: After being on here a while... I find it neccessary to add a few things. This paragraph is for the opportunists only. This is not for the normal (real) men out there. I am not gullible. I'm not some middle aged women ready to give away all she has (which is little) just to have a man. I'm perfectly fine without one. Have been for years. Thus, I am not desperate enough to allow myself to be taken advantage of. Period. Not going to happen. You're Wasting your time! I guess sadly... I am the kind of person that looks for this almost immediately with online contacts. Though I try to see good in people. I'm also very aware that the majority of people in this world are only out for what 'they' can get. So, if you're that kind of person. Don't bother with me. You're wasting your time and mine. I don't send money to people I don't know. Not just because I'm careful. But also because I don't have it to send. So if you're scamming... your digging at the poor end of the pool. I hate to have to end this on such a downer. But man the responses I've gotten!!!! I'm just trying to ward them off here.lol I mean, Why do people spend so much of their time and effort on trying to get over on others? Try to use, abuse and prey on groups of people? Men who try to use women for money ought to be castrated! They're already not acting like real men... so why not take the rest of their rights of manhood away.
