I appreciate fine quality in people (and in all things), and love combining fun, sensuality and cleverness. A sexy, bright man with sparkle,a good wit (and a good heart) is the best. Flirting, along with intelligent conversation, is great. I love laughing and one of the best things is sharing big belly laughs with my friends; that's a great time. Around conservative people, I'm the more socially liberal, but among some groups, I'll be the more conservative one. I have a doctorate and have a serious, responsible job. I have a wide diversity of friends, ranging from very straight to very new age and pretty out there. I'm considered very attractive (honest!) and often get compliments even from other women. I love discussing ideas and host a monthly meeting in my home where there's a presenter or possibly a video, and then discussion (and eating!) It's party-like but also interesting. I love classical music and am a pretty good amateur pianist, and also play folk guitar. I come from a close family where we all got along very well. In a potential partner, good character, responsibility, and consideration of others is very important, as is a sense of fun, play, and energy for experience. I enjoy good wit and humor, and value a fine aesthetic sense. A good combination of being an adult (and being able to deal with the world as it is) and being lovably naughty on occasion is very appealing. Appearance is important, but of course is in the eye of the beholder. I have no favorite physical type, but overweight and/or bald don't do it for me.
