I am now entirely scratching my entry from years ago. (Doesn't that sound sad? Single for years? Alas)
I still don't want to say much about myself, because you probably Do already know me, or know someone who knows me. And real-life impressions will be much more accurate than what I can dream up to say about myself.
I'm easy to look up online, but kinda feel weird about someone cyber stalking me. I'm friends on facebook with only people I know.
I really don't date addicts, it's a waste of my time. I really don't date guys who aren't respected by their community members or their family; I aim for partners who are really Good People to be around.
Over the years I've come to realize that my #1 requirement in a partner is that he have a solid spiritual foundation. Permaculture is nice and all, but if I had to choose I'd pick someone with spiritual tools rather than heaps of knowledge.
That being said, I've also noticed that I work well with smart activists who are passionate or skilled about something I think has integrity. And there are all kinds of different activists, and all sorts of things to be skilled in. I take a lot of action in the world around me and need to be with someone who 'gets' that.
I want my life partnership to be in a team that is well matched, and where we can support each other in a lot of ways, and where our community will want us as part of Their team and want to support us as a couple.
I get saddened by seeing couples who have to spend a lot of their love and energy for the world drained by a poor relationship. I want to be in a relationship that will expand and nurture my love and energy for the world around me, and allow me to grow. I want to be with someone who has a strong sense of integrity and is truly strong enough for intimacy, so that I can throw all my weight behind really supporting him.
PS. I also harbor the fantasy of Not being such a civically-active person for a few years as I help nourish children grow up in a garden.

Female, 38, self employed and without financial resources (yes I work and pay my bills and will always expect to do so) to offer however extremely resourceful in other ways. A can do, and if I can't do I'll learn to do attitude. Independently content, personally responsible for my own: choices, actions, emotional states, and mental healthYeah, in partnering this is important. Comfortable with roughing and hardship. Flexible and adaptable, friendly and socially adept.
I've noticed some properties up North in an unorganized township with a bit of land, on excellent fishing lakes and about 40 minutes from town for extremely low prices. They need work and the land will need to be worked. I learn quick and do what it takes, am cheerful, friendly and kind. This is the internet so I am a little shy about sharing my life story and personal pictures in a public post but would be more than happy to talk.... I would love a partnership with a considerate person that is committed to making it work. That knows I'm there for him/her and we're in this together, that values the lifestyle and environment that this kind of thing brings. For me there is a definite reticence to doing it on my own, and I would like the companionship and developing love that would come from an endeavour of this magnitude.
Seriously seeking a partner.
ps: am a long time lurker... but only just signed up in order to post! totally willing to be open with who I am, pictures, what I am about, history etc. but not in a first post
