I am an intelligent and cly lady looking for her knight to give her his devotion. I am incredibly loyal and expect the same. I love to laugh, so a sense of wit is important, i.e, vulgar/disparaging humor doesn't cut it, you should be making references to literary clics. If that makes sense, you know who you are. I require a man who is well established in his career and makes a very profitable living. If you are interested in a LTR as I am, you will be considering financial expenses. I am not going to beat around the bush here: I want a man who understands the responsibility of providing for his family. That being said, I could play the cheery housewife, or, as I am apt to do already, I have a career of my own that I do quite well at and love dearly. I am independent for the most part. You will find that I have a hard time letting go of myself until I can learn to trust. My space, my time, my artwork, etc. Little things that are important to me are kept very close until I feel there is enough investment in the relationship to share. No, I would not keep something from you that could change the way you feel about me. :) Over time I could learn to adapt and open up to be that adoring housewife/mother/or simply partner in crime. Treat me well and you will be the envy of all your friends. I know my worth. When I see something I want, I take it. I don't like to waste my time. There is a level of confidence that is attached to that. I will always be very direct, unlike most women. I will not hint and wiggle and try to get you to say something a certain way so I can dissect what you meant by it. I will always ask you upfront, expecting complete honesty. You will always know where you stand with me. And I will always be clear about my expectations. Too many women set men up to fail. That is unfair. I have high enough expectations for a man that the least I can do is give you a running start. I am vegetarian. Ova-lacto, to be precise. I would prefer to be with a vegetarian, as it makes dining SO much easier. However, I have no problem with you eating meat, as long as I don't have to cook it. I won't ever tease you, or act disgusted, or try to change your eating habits, provided you also respect mine. The funny thing about being vegetarian is I get crap for it all the time. I never lambaste someone for eating meat, and yet I am apparently a weirdo for it. If you think I am a weirdo, move on. Please. Save us both the hle because I am vegetarian and will be for the remainder of my life. Period. I am not religious. My spirituality is my own, private, and is not likely to be shared. I am politically moderate. I am a political science minor so yes, I can discuss it, but I find it to be such a touchy subject. Please, no staunch republicans. Democrats I can handle as long as you are not a bleeding heart hippy who wants to complain about the "system" while trying your best not to be part of it. I actually LIKE the system. I think it has a place. I think we need change. I think we need to be ACTIVE in order to make that change. I like our President. I like our military. I like social services. I have a cat. She is high maintenance. I also like dogs, I just don't have one. I like girly things. Decorating my apartment, shopping, browsing the internet for pictures of kittens, daydreaming about attractive men in nice cars, and reading Jane Austin. Deal with it. I'm a girl. A sweet, innocent, charming and compionate girl. You should be the type to relish those qualities. The one who wants to tuck me under his arm and keep me safe, protected from the evils of the world. You should want to cherishes the differences between us and help me build us up as individuals so we can be stronger partners. Lastly, Honesty. Honesty, honesty, honesty. I don't care how much you think it will hurt me to hear the truth, say it.
