I am a smarty pants type - Ivy Leaguer professional in a stressful high powered job in which I'm on the right side and help people. That being said, the best and most important job I have now and always will have, is as mom to my three kids. Since I'm a cerebral fun-loving type, I'm looking for a guy who is my match intellectually and who can give it back to me stroke for stroke (pun possibly intended).

I love doing physical things, and am looking for a similarly like minded man - who enjoys the outdoors as I do (such as hiking beneath the rim of the Grand Canyon, kayaking, jetskiing, boating) and likes physical activity (rollerblading, tennis, swimming, biking, dancing etc. ) I love to work out and am a gym rat type: I usually work out every day and when I lift it is just me and Def Leppard (I Wanna Touch You and Pour Some Sugar on Me.) Im not manly, just muscular and curvy.

I'm an avid traveler in North America and Europe, Mexico, Canada, the Caribbean and the middle east. I love the culture and pace of cities whether it is London, Paris, Amsterdam, Rome, Venice or Cairo as much as I love the beach(Hilton Head and the Italian Riviera).

I love to cook but am not interested in a guy for whom i will be regarded as "the cook". It is so nice to cook a meal together as we drink wine and talk about our day. But enjoying meals out is wonderful too, whether they are a simple salad or burger, or fine dining. Both ends of the spectrum are great.

I totally love music and my taste is eclectic from older rock such as The Police, Lynard Skynnard, Kansas, Chicago to the newer artists like Daughtry, Bowling for Soup, All American Rejects, Simple Plan, Greenday, Three Days Grace, Nickelback. etc. Consequently, I love going to concerts whether they are at Phillips or Masquerade.

I am looking for a relationship that will be based on open and honest communication, where each party feels totally comfortable in sharing needs/wants or anything at all from the mundane to discussions about sex. Communication should be without fear and judgment, where the "hearer" will not filter what is communicated through his/her own ego, but will rather embrace and internalize what is said, because what is important is making the other person happy. Understand? So, the kind of man I am looking for is confident, funny, at home in his skin (as I am in mine), smart, sexy, and willing to truly be an equal partner and not someone who will become my oldest child.

I am looking for a man who understands the interrelatedness of intimacy, passion and sex. Sex without the soul connectin is empty for me, and since I am the "whole" package, which I am willing to give to the right man, I am similarly looking for the whole package back. I am looking for a man who will run his fingers through my long hair, hold my face firmly as he kisses me, and enjoy my kissing him back. I want a man to kiss me passionately like he means it. I love kissing - both gently and sweetly - the first taste of anticipation, and also with lust, as when we can't wait to rip each others clothes off. Quickies are nice, but I am into slow tantalizing sex, that stimulates every nerve fiber in each other's body. I am looking for a man who knows the difference between "having sex" and "making love" . . . who understands that making love is a state that is arrived at when there is a connection between two souls, and who loves making love as much as I do.

While I am currently married, we are in a separation mode and in fact are both currently looking outside our marriage. If you have similar tastes and likes as mine, and my words have piqued your interest, I'd love to hear from you.
