Miafantazzio, 42

Where do I start? Well, I just completed my BA degree. I am currently a substitute teacher while I take the time to figure out exactly what I'd like to do as far as finding the right career for me. I like to consider myself a strong, independent woman who still believes in knights and shining armor and a fairy tale happily ever after. However, that doesn't mean I'm not realistic and know that good strong, honest men are truly hard to find these days.

Physically wise, I am not a stick figure, and I will never be a size 5. Nor am I 300 hundred pounds. All I am saying is that I'm a thick girl, I have curves as a woman should. If you have a problem with this, than obviously I am not the one for you. I also have a couple of piercings-- my eyebrow and my lip.

Intellectually wise, I'm a deep person who is not afraid to admit that I love many different things and my interests are all over the place. I love the arts-- that includes art itself (especially ancient art and history), reading and literature (I read at least 1 to 2 books a week and I collect antique books and children's literature), and watching/collecting movies and television series. I collect old 80's and 90's movie/tv memorabilia as well. I also am an animal lover-- while I was in college I worked several years in the pet/animal care business.

So what am I looking for? A man that is not a bull----ter. That is honest with himself therefore he can be honest with me. A man who is confident, has goals, and has some sort of direction in life. A man that is confident and secure in his own masculinity that he is not intimidated by a woman who is strong willed and educated. A man that tries his best in life, is not afraid to work hard and get his hands dirty. A man that likes to talk, and listen, not afraid to hold his woman's hand in public. A man that sees his woman as his equal, his partner, but knows how to step up to the plate and be there for his girl when she needs him the most...
