Meiliken, 48

Diamond in the Rough Blonde, wear glasses, blue eyes(that change color on occasion). I'm looking for a woman between the age of 23-30 that is intelligent, with the super power of common sense. I'd like her to be independent, educated, and having a sense of humor to know the world is a funny place. I'm not a shallow person so won't disdain someone that has some extra weight, but mankind wasn't meant to be that way since it is unhealthy; so I would only accept someone that has sense enough to take care of herself, but not be snobbish about it. She must also believe in herself, and be honest at all times. I also don't want any smokers.
I play some video games, but not many. It doesn't take up my time. I do like playing D&D, so yes, I do have a bit of a nerdy side. I spent 7 years in the military. I work at night so I don't do much during the day, but I do go to the movies frequently. I don't live trashy, but I'm not a neat freak either. I read a lot, but usually only at work since very little goes on at night. I would like to go hiking and more outdoor activities, but most would have to be done nearing dusk and night time. I don't drink or smoke, though I'm not averse to having a casual drink but nothing excessive. I'm always honest, so I do expect that in return. I don't have a religion, but I'm not atheist or agnostic either.
Beauty fades, the skin sags as time wears on, but the mind and the heart grow stronger. If you're so stuck up on yourself as to think you're too beautiful or so self inflicting as to think you're not beautiful enough, then don't bother.
I won't change who I am, nor would I expect any woman to change for me. You like someone for their strengths, but you love them for their weaknesses.
I'm not racist but I don't really want to be contacted by black women. It itsn't based on race, for I've dated women of every ethnicity. I find myself preferring women that are white, hispanic, asian, all of those in between. I'm open to any nationali
