Full-Figured Black Lady Seeking a Lifetime Friend & Companion

I am a full-figured, Black lady living within the inner city limits of Washington, DC. As a, true-to-form, taurean lady, I am known by others to be very dependable, honest, and loyal. I am reserved, relaxed, intellectual and witty. I can also be serious, cynical, and extremely bull-headed. I am a college educated professional analyst and paralegal with a bachelors in Psychology. While one might judge my character solely upon my outer appearance (as a Black BBW), I am more than a size, race, or whatever grouping one may assign. More importantly, I am uniquely ME. I am an intellectual professional who prefers provoking conversations over pickup lines and bedroom babble. With a philosophical inclination somewhere between Darwin and Nietzsche, it is best said: to know and accept the person I am, takes time and sincere effort. Note also that I have HSV-2. While I am a homebody, I am a world traveler (I have been to Germany, England, Denmark, Japan, and hope to visit others); Literature; Music (Primarily J-Rock & Downtempo: Acid Jazz and Trip-Hop); Arts/Theatre. I also love anime & manga (a total otaku). Who am I seeking? I am seeking a local, single, classy professional gentleman who wants a long term relationship built on friendship first. He should have traveled internationally, be well read, and have an interest in world culture and the arts. He should be a professional who knows how to take time from work to enjoy the subtleties of life.
