I am NOT looking to meet up with anybody for now, but I am keeping my "Plenty More Naughty Fish" profile active because I like to keep in touch with old friends and maybe make some new. If anything should develop from any friendships I make that will be a bonus, but it's not on my agenda for the present time, and it is unlikely that I will find what I ultimately want on this site as most people seem to be looking for NSA sex.
My interests are many and varied, and in my spare time I occasionally do a bit of "life art modelling", hence the artistic photos on my profile (taken 3 years ago). I also love walking in the seaside or countryside, visiting places of interest and eating in local restaurants or country pubs, as well as cosy nights indoors curled up on the sofa watching a DVD with a takeaway. I'm fairly low maintenance and don't expect to be constantly showered with presents or chocolates (Guylian, Thorntons, Milk Tray or Dairy Box!). I have recently completed a history degree so I am also interested in historical things, although this does not take over my whole life.
Just to be totally clear and to save wasting anybody's time:
* I am NOT looking for "NSA fun" or one-night stands or a FWB. That does NOT mean that I am looking for a husband, or a live-in lover, as I value my independence. Ultimately I don't want somebody just for sex, but I DO want a companion who I can consider to be "my guy" and who has similar interests as me - and of course who also loves sex (lots of it, and not necessarily in the bedroom).
* I don't like messages which have been written in text speak - this is not my mobile phone you're writing to. Proper spelling and grammar go a long way to gaining my attention, and you will need to say something more interesting than just "Hi how's you?", or "Hi Wendy, care to chat?".
* I don't respond to winks and I am unlikely to respond to anybody whose profile pics show his member disappearing into another woman's orifices. Likewise with BDSM images, group sex or cross-dressers. Nothing personal if that's your thing, it's just not mine, and you're probably on a different site which has different requirements (I'm on "Plenty More Naughty Fish").
* As I prefer guys around my own age or slightly younger I've adjusted my filters for age (50 to 60), distance (25 miles), and profile pics (you should have one).
* If I view your profile it doesn't mean that I fancy you and want to jump into bed with you: it just means that I'm checking you out and seeing what you have to say about yourself. If there are no characteristics and you've said nothing to describe yourself then there's not much to go on and I will just move on.
* Being outside the filters doesn't mean you are blocked: I can still view your messages and if they are interesting I am likely to respond. If you don't get a reply then I really am *not interested* and the automated message has politely said it for me - that is what those messages are for, after all.
* I am not interested in meeting any men who are married or in another relationship, no matter what the circumstances are - it is my personal choice not to poach another woman's man as I wouldn't like to have it done to me.
* I am NOT interested in having sex with much younger guys who are in their 20s or 30s, no matter how much they say they prefer mature women. The age difference may not matter to you, but it DOES matter to me.
* I prefer men who are clean-shaven, and that includes in the pubic department: I hate pubic hair, especially when it is straggly and resembles a burst pillow, although I can tolerate closely trimmed.
* A lot of men like to boost their egos by gaining somebody's trust and interest and then dropping off the face of the earth just before meeting. As far as I'm concerned, lack of communication equals lack of interest. If you stop communicating I will assume that you have lost interest - and in turn I will then lose interest in you and move on.
* Don't bother coming back to me a year or two after you have let me down, expecting me to be pleased to pick up where you left off: I won't be, because I have a long memory and I'm not that desperate!
