Alone…so many women


Gorgeous 28 year-old, college-graduate (BS & MBA), African-American, communications & marketing professional.  In the market to purchase her first home.  Fun-loving.  Witty.  Willing to try new things.  Sees the world as her domain.  Will date guys from various racial backgrounds.


Alone.


Gorgeous petite, 46 year-old lawyer.  African-American.  Has traveled the world.  Serious golf player.   Fun-loving.


Alone.


Attractive voluptuous, 49 year old, Native-American, college-graduate.  An organizing whiz.  Irreverent. Independent.  Very giving.  Dry-wit.  Serious shopper and bargain-whisperer.  Occasionally snaps-crackles-pops.


Alone.


I have a lot of gorgeous female friends who are alone in this world. 


Classic beauty with a flawless complexion, 41 year old, Jamaican-American, college graduate.  Has aristocratic tastes with an eye for value and thrift.  Well-traveled.  Varied interests including politics and community activism. Cooks, gardens, fabulous decorator.  A soft-interior beneath a prickly exterior.


Alone.


Voluptuous beauty, 47 year-old.  African-American combination of Southern values and East Coast sophistication.  Has incredible joy and is so fun-loving – from hoola-hooping to singing to dancing to playing games to dressing up for Halloween. Currently finishing her master’s degree. 

Alone.


A 53 year-old beauty in the tradition of a Lena Horne with southern warmth, abiding faith and a mischievous wit.  Is a working (and sometimes non-working artist).


Alone.


My friends are dynamic, educated, and sophisiticated.  All are attractive – some world-class beauties.  Several are athletic.  All are hard-working, honest, and accomplished in their own ways.   They are either childless or have raised their children.


Each of them are alone – some have been alone for years.  Others date intermittently but have yet to find companionship.  Some want to be married.  Some do not. 


What they want seems so simple but has proven elusive – companionship…partnership with a good man….a date a couple of times a month.  These are not women who would eschew a guy who doesn’t have a “suit job” or a bachelor’s degree.  They are open and yet they remain alone.


56 year old woman who looks 40 is one of the most beautiful women to ever walk the earth and an accomplished artist and entrepreneur.


Alone.


53 year old widow who has travelled to every continent but one.  Deep dimples, fabulous energy, talented and credentialed interior designer. Out-going.


Alone.


32 year old voluptuous petite with a wild mane of hair that cascades down her shoulders. Creative writer and technology whiz, peaceful nature.  And freckles.


Alone.


A petite fashionista who is incredibly fit. Has been featured in a national magazine because of her beauty.  World traveler and appreciator of life.  Out-going. Fabulous cook – soul food and soulful food.  Makes things happen even without a mate.

Alone.


Where are the men?  Where are ya’ll?  Many of these women hail from Boston but others from the Midwest and the South.  Why should these fabulous women be so alone?
