I am a very smart, rather zany woman who has a zest for life. I am looking for a partner who is comfortable dating and interacting socially. In return, I promise witty conversation, unbeatable company, and emotional generosity.

As for looks, I'm curvy. If you're looking for Barbie, bye bye. I'm told I have nice legs. I am pretty in an unconventional way, but I am not perfect-looking and I am not seeking a perfect-looking man. I am hip and well-read and love a lively discussion about current events, art, culture, social issues, etc.

I like a man who is a thinker, who reads the news, nonfiction, fiction, or whatever else strikes his fancy. Intelligence is important. But I also like a man who has a good heart. Sarcastic, negative men are a total turn-off. I like sweet, sensual men who can carry on a conversation in a restaurant -- and in the bedroom.

There is no formula to determine chemistry between a woman and a man, but chances are if you're into NASCAR, we won't hit it off. I would like someone to see on a regular basis for the symphony and foreign movies, but I'm just as happy strolling through the park or making pancakes together on Sunday morning.

I'm not like other people who say they have no emotional baggage. We all have emotional baggage. You can't live without having emotional baggage. I acknowledge past difficulties. They are a part of me, but I don't let them control me. I am basically a positive person who lives life to the fullest.

Finally, these are my preferences in men: Unmarried, Caucasian race, college degree, and living in or near Atlanta. IMPORTANT: Must be a non-smoker!
