In Her Own Words
About her
I'm a dual national - British and American, from Kentucky, but I lived in many different places in America before I came to the UK to finish my English degree. I've lived here for 47 years so don't ask me how I like the weather. I worked for 18 years in the music business, was a stay at home mom, then went back to university to get my undergraduate psychology degree and went on to get three more. I'm a CBT therapist and integrative psychologist - no, I don't know how to read your mind.
I'd like to hear from people who at least know who Ayn Rand is, are curious about the world and others, and want to better themselves. People who are retired and don't have something they care about don't interest me. I work running my own successful business so I don't have time to just run off some where - I'm interested in people who respect that and want to nurture and support someone to be the best version of themselves.
I don't mean to be unkind, and I have every sympathy with men who have gone bald naturally, but I don't find shaved heads attractive. I dislike tattoos - a small discreet one is ok but no more than that. I also don't find masses of facial hair attractive - "designer stubble" is fine, but not someone with enough facial hair to audition for Captain Birdseye.
Guys: A bit of advice. I need to see a photo. If they're private but you want to talk to me, then adjust your setting so I can see your photos. Photos with a big pint of beer in front of your face tell me nothing about you except you like drinking beer, which isn't attractive. Please stop posting photos with your children - if they're adult children, they'll be embarrassed; if they're under 18, you're possibly leaving it wide open for something nasty to happen, stop it.
Embarrassed to be on a dating site? Don't be. If your colleagues/next door neighbour/ex's best friend sees you here, you're seeing them here as well.
