Self Description: I'm an Odessa native living in Los Angeles: the Black Sea gave way to the Pacific, but my dry wit and love of life stayed put. By profession, I'm an attorney with two degrees. I'm a curious and a creative woman. I value clarity and good taste: in books, solid ideas, in art - honest color, in conversations and substance without the fuss. I love cities you can cross on foot and come back a little changed, and kitchens that smell like something home-cooked. I can be serious and light, principled and gentle in the right proportion. I don't like loud arguments and never start them. I want something simple and rare: a warm home, mutual respect, and a strong "we." I believe mature love isn't theater; it's trust, care, and the small joys of every day.

Comments: I am close to men who have a core and kindness, who know how to keep their word, hold hands and keep the pace of life. Respect a woman and show care. I dream of a warm, strong family, and not a "pretty picture". I would like to meet a man who is ready for a serious relationship.
