As far as character traits go, I would describe myself as a very sexy, highly intelligent, quite articulate, very sophisticated woman with a very strong sense of loyalty to those that have earned my affections. Additionally, I’m an *extremely* outgoing person, tending to be the "life" of any party I'm at, but my outgoingness is always coupled with the utmost cl. That is, I usually present myself very well, carrying myself as an extremely polite, well-spoken young woman with impeccable manners and an expansive vocabulary; I've been told that I'm an engaging public speaker, as well. My ideal man is very intelligent, but just as important is that he is also a very good person. I want to emphasize the importance I place on one's mity and the intrinsic goodness of one's character, from which I believe that the honorable traits of kindness, empathy, honesty with yourself and others, the capacity for the deepest love and compion can flow. He has an ytic mind and is a critical thinker; his interactions with others and his conduct with me is always cly and respectful; and he's a fascinating and exciting, cultured and open-minded individual, who also excels in the verbal domain, in terms of communication. He is a very open, considerate, sharing, and honest person that communicates very well with others. What I'm really looking for, simply put, is to develop a relationship of sorts that begins as a friendship and progresses from there. Ultimately, I am looking for something long-term, but to approach any kind of relationship with such high expectations is a mistake, in my book. ---------------------------------------- Reasons you shouldn't messsage me... ---------------------------------------- -Your profile doesn't have unobscured pictures of your face, or the "About Me" section of your profile is empty or only a few words long. -You're "just" looking for an "easy going," "laid back" girl who "likes to have fun." -You're a libertarian/conservative. -You have an excessive amount of facial hair. Now, this *is* somewhat negotiable, but not too much, as I'm honestly really turned off by anything more than a little stubble... -You routinely wear baseball hats or skinny jeans.
