My name is Svetlana. I am 47 years old. I was born on May 8, 1959. My height is 158 cm, my weight is 56 kg. I am cheerful and self-confident woman. I was married, and have two grown-up children not living with me.

I live in Ekaterinburg, Russia. By education I am a design engineer, I graduated from Ural Polytechnic University. I grew up in a big, friendly family where the most respected qualities were decency, diligence, honesty, sincerity, mutual love. I laws taught to appreciate knowledge, experience and study, to respect hardworking people. I never mind learning new things and studying. I think I have an inquiring nature. In old times it was peculiar for Russian educated people to speak several foreign languages. Recently I started to learn English. In a man most of all I value intelligence, discretion and prudence

I am sociable and have many friends. My friends say that they love me for my kind and responsive character. I am a smiling, positive woman. But it is not easy to say in one word what kind of person I am as I can be different. I meet many people. Every of them has something good in the character. I try to adopt this good things trying to remain myself.

I understand and love classical music, ballet, opera. This kind of performances is considered to be "serious". You must have an open and sensitive heart. With all that I love to have fun with my friends. I like to make surprises, I like dancing at the parties and I can be funny and elegant at the same time. I like to be in the center of attention, I like it for example if the cake that I made is the most delicious of all…

I love books which require reflection and thought. But from time to time I enjoy to flick through some glossy women's magazine. I am fond of exhibition of all kinds: it may be a butterfly's show, old kitchen utensils' show or arms exhibition, or exhibition on architecture of ancient Russian temples. All this sounds interesting to me. Another hobby of mine is watching ancient photos. I love art of photography. I do not think that only pictures showing beautiful faces or beautiful sceneries can be interesting. It may be a picture of someone's sad eyes or hands of an old woman… maybe it Russian sentimentality.

I love my home to be cozy and nice. I love the smell of pies and homemade food at my kitchen. I love knitting and decorating table-clothes with embroidery.

Every day I do morning exercises outdoors and have a cold show. Of course, I know how nice it is to lie slugging a bed in a morning. But I prefer to start a morning with a breath of fresh air and cold water is so invigorative! And I follow it with a cup of hot coffee. I have a healthy life style, I do not smoke. In the winter I go skiing, in summer I love to ride a bike. I also enjoy swimming and rafting. What I would like to try is to jump with a parachute. Also I have a dream to see a volcano.

I am grateful to my parents who inculcated me this love of life. They taught me to live with passion not being afraid of difficulties.

I would love to meet a man who loves life. I would give him my love, care and tenderness. I do not mind him having children, I would take care of them too. I think that the main thing in life is LOVE. You can't buy it. I dream of meeting a man for whom I would become a faithfullifetime partner.
