 I would describe myself as "edgy"or at the edge of many things: at the edge of what conventionally passes for social success for a Muslim woman, the edge of a Muslim cultural identity.  By this I mean that I am a single fifty-plus professor of history, a mom to a beautiful and wonderful adopted daughter, myself a daughter who takes care of her widowed father.  As a result of a life rich in experiences, I am worldly in outlook.  As a product of my generation's times, I am secular, politically liberal-left and socially progressive.  My life is full and I am happy, but I am occasionally lonely for a like-minded partner with whom I can share the experiences that enhance a life well-lived like travel, cultural outings, dedication to the betterment of community and environment.  I am slim and easy on the eyes, have a sense of humor (albeit somewhat self-deprecating) and love to laugh. I appreciate the joy that children bring into one's life.  I am all about history and politics and culture, not at all about halal and haram, so please..  (My Islam: God is Rahman and Raheem, and He created for us a beautiful world to cherish and enjoy).  I would never have approached such a website, but I read this was an alternative to the usual muslim matrimony site, and I'm tired of all that is lost in translation with those outside the community.  So here I am, looking for someone as "edgy", yet grounded, who will model an Islam of ethics and tolerance for my daughter. The man I seek is age appropriate, professional, "woke" as my students say, experienced in love and parenting.  Are you such a Muslim man?
