Strega, 63

I am an attractive woman, independent, who is looking to spend time with a man who is a little rough around the edges and can stand on his own, someone who shares the same interests...who is not afraid of honesty...who generally likes and respects women...is taller than me, and who is protective without being controlling. I like all kinds of music, movies, fishing, dogs..big dogs, the beach, mountains in summer, sunrise on new years, dressing up and dressing down, older model cars and strong men really, my main aspirations in life are to live a little more than comfortable and keep the drama down...

I have been asked - many times - what I mean by rough around the edges....I am not your typical woman..I have worked electrical after attending school for it..then machine operator to machinist B..I have 11 tattoos..4 bull dogs...enjoy Ballet and symphonies..danced ballet for 6 years as a child.. I can be gentle and I can as easily fight..am intelligent and well traveled...so I guess what I mean by rough around the edges is someone that has been exposed to culture, the finer things in life, and the rougher sides of life and instead of choosing either as a template for their way of thinking/behaving, carries what they have learned with them while they walk to the sound of their own heart..

I do not search for someone to battle with or someone to mold themselves to me, I simply seek the one that fits me naturally...
