In Her Own Words
About Her
I'm open-minded, honest, respectful, intelligent, realistic, passionate, and independent, and definitely anxious and stubborn, although I've mellowed quite bit. I've learnt to be more patient. Politically, I am way left of centre, still hoping for real democracy and equality in our country, and I am feminist to the core. Social justice and green values are high up on my agenda. I hate the culture of racism and misogyny which is so entrenched here; the worst human traits for me are arrogance, cruelty and dishonesty. However, I do believe in hope, creativity, subversion, love, and the ability of people to fight even against terrible odds.
To relax, I love listening to the radio and podcasts, and I enjoy sewing. Walking every day in nature is my all-time best. Some points from this time of lockdown: I haven't been able to work, and still cannot, but I'm intensely aware of my privilege in having money to survive on, and comfort and warmth. I have two dogs who have been great companions. Right now, cooking, although I claim to like it, is not something I look forward to, especially since meals aren't shared. Finally, I salute all essential workers who can't stay home, and have a newfound appreciation of the work done by good journalists.
About Her Ideal Match
Shared values, and having similar politics are fundamental; in terms of personality, someone who is friendly, honest, generous, aware of the wider world, comfortable in her self, articulate, physically active and reasonably adventurous would be fabulous. If you love music, (especially classical), dancing, hiking, and good conversation, all the better. Qualities of humour and tolerance will help; I love it if someone teases me when I become extreme.
