I'd like to meet:
In general, I'd like to meet some cool, down to earth people who'd like to hang out and explore NYC. Buddies to hit open mics with, maybe take a swing dance class or a salsa dance class, or maybe check out a yoga class with. People who are into art and philosophy, students of life...My ideal guy is one who doesn't try to change who I am and he is comfortable with himself. He' sensitive, sensible, thoughtful and humble. He has high goals and is family oriented. He believes buying a house is a wise investment, and that it is more important than having a shiny new car to show off to his friends as far as priorities go. He believes in and supports education and enjoys the arts and philosophy and exploring the mysteries of the universe. He can also be very funny and silly and spontaneous. That's who I'd like to meet...
