Straight off the bat, I'm not easy to impress. When it comes to people, I'm cynical and I have high standards. Don't take my photos at face value and thinkin' I'm easy - nothing could be further from the truth!
I'm looking for a leading man, a la Humphrey Bogart, to charm the pants off me ;-) A man should be a gentleman and a rogue - at the right times - and treat a lady with respect (if she's earned it.) He should be self-assured, confident, and feel comfortable taking the lead in a 1940s chivalrous manner. He will likely be cunning, preferring to lure his prey in with sensual promise rather than chase her down with brute force. He will relish the challenge presented by a strong and independent woman, knowing that to win her over with charm is a great victory and testament to his virility.
I like people that are confident without being self-absorbed. If you want someone to listen to you talk incessantly about yourself, find someone else! If you're a victim and need someone to feel sorry for you, call a hotline! I'm a true and loyal friend, but I'm not the shoulder to cry on every time you get in a fight with your boyfriend. I've got no time to waste on narcissists, martyrs, or victims. Boo-hoo!
On the other hand, if you enjoy socializing and conversation involving an exchange of ideas and a give and take, then by all means let's meet over a glass of wine!
