YOU:

ME: Woman. Garden and country-lover. Horse-rider. Dog and cat lover. Book-reader. I like to cook and enjoy a glass or two of wine. No longer in the first flush of youth but fit, healthy, lively & fun. Grey hair and no plan to hide it: like it actually - and so do discerning other people! An ex-husband lurks only in distant memory. Warm & literate, I appreciate women & men who are funny, thoughtful, sensitive & gentle, especially if they cook for me or caress me with words & intelligent well-informed talk - and are not obsessed with themselves or their egos.

P.S. I like lots of things about sensitive guys (including signs you have brain and body muscles) - but I do NOT want to see THOSE naked bits except from men I know & care about. So I'll ignore you (can't be bothered with blocking, usually) if you flash your male genitalia: OK? And I'll only share with friends if I like what I see: that's my private choice. I'd rather listen to good music than waste my time, thank you. Myself: I'm not juicy and young any more but I'm alive and may still appeal to other people who understand this (brain, soul & body all in good shape) - even if not to young self-obsessed studs.If you are one of them, just leave me alone and chase the zillions of beautiful people on Flickr instead. But if you, men or women, young or old, appreciate me or my pics, why not say so in words or pictures? I like nicely-phrased compliments & I like pictures that have eye-appeal. This can include nude photos but only, please, attractive & interesting images: I like beautiful men and, no less often, women. Sadly that does not include most people.

I do not want to see pictures of male body parts, anyone possibly under 18 or anything that involves cruelty, pain or humiliation. I will ignore you if you send me that stuff. Equally, if you have no nice pictures for me, why should I let you see mine? I quite like some bits of me and enjoy being a bit of an exhibitionist. But only to people who appreciate and are nice to me - and have something nice to reveal to me too!

If I ever see that notice that says you have no public photos to share will me, I WILL SIMPLY IGNORE YOU, not respond to you and, even if you were once my friend, I will remove you from the list of my contacts: I am pretty emphatic and ruthless about this however much you try to sweet-talk me! Also, if you cannot even be bothered to replace the standard buddy icon with a personal one of your own, why should I even bother to read or look at what you send me? Really??!! Be just A BIT IMAGINATIVE (and subtle too, if you can) and put in a bit of an effort!

I should add that I am a bit exhibitionist, as you can see.... but that doesn't mean I need you to bother or bombard me - or to see your exhibited bits, please (well some beautiful bits on women, mainly, are nice to see) and I probably won't be needing to meet up, however much it may be fun to communicate in words and pictures. Unless you are the exception!

Also, all rights reserved means ALL COPYING IS A NO-NO. Please DO NOT steal, borrow or re-display my photos! I've seen several on other people's streams, complete with copyright claims, both on Flickr and on other web-sites!!! Not funny. No way to treat me or anyone else you say you like.
