I'd like to meet:
Pretty much anyone. This outlet has connected me to friends that I thought I'd lost, and introduced to me the one's I am honored to know. I can simply say that the friends you see on this page are true friends of mine (with the exception of DJ's, clubs, record labels and a couple of hookers... [just kidding]). I like cultured people, one's who aren't hesitant on teaching me their culture(s) and beliefs. I like a woman who takes good care of herself, yet one who isn't afraid to sweat and who is essentially down to earth, enjoys laughing, drinking a glass of good wine, deep conversations and has an overall good outlook on life. If you want to add me, send me a message on why you want to do so, otherwise you'll be denied.
