Mandielane, 41

I grew up in a small town in Colorado. I moved to the little big city [Reno, nevada] a little over four years ago. It was quite a culture shock at first. That was until I discovered that I am city girl who had been trapped in the country for too long.

I recently graduated with a bachelor's degree from UNR. I just finished my degree in photography.

I try to experience as many different things as I can. I am always up for a good adventure or something that leaves a memory. Whether it is just picking up and going on a road trip, extreme sports [sky diving and bungee jumping, both of which I have done], or maybe something on a smaller scale such as a new food. I never want to feel like I didn't live.

I would say that my personality is a mix of kooky and serious. I love to have fun, but I am also not afraid of a little hard work. I am generous to a fault. I sometimes spread myself too thin. Other days I am as lazy as can be. I try to always be in a good mood. It takes quite a bit to upset me. I like the woman I am, but am not opposed to improving. Once I become friends with someone chances are they are never getting rid of me. I take my relationships seriously. I pride myself on my ability to love, encourage, and be there for the ones I love. I am easily one of the most laid back people around. But that doesn't mean I will let you walk all over me.

I want to meet someone who may not be sure who he is, but is actively pursuing that. A man who isn't afraid to be wrong or prove me wrong. A man who can listen, but can hold up his end of the conversation. IF he makes me laugh I will most likely end up smitten. A man who appreciates family, friends, freedom, and the little things in life. He doesn't need to spoil me, just treat me as an equal and we will get along wonderfully. A man who gets I am my own person and I appreciate me time now and then. In return I promise not to bust up guys night out or talk during the super bowl.
