I'd like to meet:
This is easy. I'd like to meet real people. Good people. Nice people. You know, like the kind who'd help you if you were in trouble. People who have fun and smile and make me laugh a lot.
I know relationships are so 1990s, but I'd love to meet a great guy who is actually interested in getting to know me. Of course, friends are always good too. I'm more likely to fall for a smile or a laugh than great pecs. Things I like/look for:
Nice smiles
Sincere eyes
Short hair
Kind but not a pushover
People who can actually have a conversation
Maturity (not to be confused with boring)
People who have their shit together
Sense of humour
It'd probably be helpful to list who/what I'm
NOT looking for:
Circuit queens
Alcoholics/drug addicts
"Str8 acting" guys - being masculine is one thing, but pretending to be something you're not is another
A&F clones
Guys who have nothing better to talk about than their workout/diet
People who eat with their mouths open (yuck)
Self-absorbed assholes
