In Her Own Words
About her
Thanks for reading my profile. I feel somewhat embarrassed to write about myself.
I am an enthusiastic, practical person with a positive, joyful attitude to life and with a sense of humour. I smile at things that not everyone notices. I do not plan anything for longer than next year. A long time ago, I learned that it is better to make each day count, live it as best as possible to make each day count as a good memory. So I try to invest memories.
I have worked for many years, now retired, I am enjoying my retirement immensely.
I am passionate about everything that interests me, be it people (family and friends), music, art, nature, animals, my cat, or dogs. On a blue-sky day. I love to see the raindrops on the grass, plants and in the water pools on the pavements, reflecting the blue sky. I am also slightly eccentric. My musical tastes are eclectic; besides classical and opera, I enjoy different musical styles. I like movies, theatre, reading, learning and discovering original, exciting ideas and concepts, thrilling for my mind. But no fake news or conspiracy theories. Entertaining friends, going to (or hosting) fancy-dress parties.
Everyone thinks that I am at least 15 years younger than I am. Good genes and taking good care of myself helps :-).
I have never played any sports, but I have kept myself in good shape all my life by exercising and maintaining a positive attitude. I still exercise every day, and I enjoy dancing.
I have been married twice and a widow since 2006.
When I was young, I was very left-wing; after becoming more mature, I became a liberal, centre-left person. I voted remain, but now we are out of the EU, that is it. :-( Let's hope for the best. However, if you approve of Putin, please do not contact me.
I agree with Charles. Bukowski said: "The problem with the world is that the intelligent people are full of doubts, while the stupid ones are full of confidence." Do you agree? I do :-)
About her ideal match
I am initially looking for friendship. I am open-minded; perhaps it might develop into a relationship over time.
As I am independent and happy living on my own, I have no desire to move in with someone else. I would love to meet and fall in love with the right man for me—an intelligent, educated, kind, friendly and loving man with a good sense of humour.
He enjoys art, books, classical music, new ideas, good debates, and most of all, enjoys my company.
We don't need to have the same beliefs. One of the many things I've learned after two marriages is that a partner can get the other interested in activities that he/she alone would never consider doing. It is interesting to learn new ideas from a partner with a different mind frame and interests.
However, I know myself, and I could not get on with racists, a radical extremist from right or left-wing, radical religious or bigots,
I know it isn't easy, as Bessie Smith used to sing:
A good man is hard to find. But we all need a dream :-)
What Her Friends Say

Elza Maria is a brilliant burst of Brazilian sunshine - she's absolutely gorgeous in the flesh (much more beautiful than the photo!). She is a seeker, always ready for an adventure and has a heart as big as the ocean. She loves to read, she loves to dance and if the expression "living life to the full" applied to anyone, it surely applies to Elza Maria.
Elza Maria is beautiful inside and out and the man who wins her heart will be blessed indeed!

To the lucky man,
I met Elza Maria when I was 18, Elza was 33. This is 37 years ago, our friendship have always been strong. Elza has always been there for me. She is a treasure that I keep in a special place within my heart.
Elza is an amazing woman, she is beautiful, beautiful internally and externally in equal measure. She has a generous heart.
A day spent with Elza is always uplifting, she is witty, funny and smart.
I have shared many moments of Elza's life, from the birth of her twins, weekends and parties at her home, going to art exhibitions together, a meal at a restaurant and many more, and in all these moments, Elza has always been joyous, enthusiastic, listening, sharing, always with a smile on her face, full of ' joie de vivre'.
I wish Elza Maria, all the best and also to the lucky man that will get to know her. This wish of mine is also a little selfish for I hope the lucky man will be my friend too.
A life with Elza is never dull.

Hi, I've known Elza Maria for over 35 years. She is a very good friend, very reliable, trustworthy and friendly. Elza is fun to be with, she likes to talk, she likes to have friends around (I mean before the pandemia) and always has some good ideas as to how entertain us. Elza also likes to dance and to sing. She would be a fun company for the right person. Good luck to Elza!
