It’s been said that life, like a gourmet meal is meant to be savored, but at times I can’t help but feel that life is instead meant to be devoured. More than anything else I am driven. I want to achieve, to attain, to thrive, and I’m searching for someone with whom I can share a passion for excellence.

As much as it may seem the wrong thing to say, I am not a domestic goddess content to stay at home to clean, cook, look after a man and raise a brood. If I find the right man, creating a family is certainly an option but I am looking for a partner in life; I’m searching for a man who can challenge me intellectually, emotionally, physically.

I value confidence, ambition, intelligence, humor, wit and physical appeal, and to the man who offers me that, I can return the same.

I thrive on solving problems, particularly analysis and critical thinking. Those who meet me might first assume that I was born with a silver spoon, but the truth is, I’ve had to fight for every achievement I have attained, which means I know what it’s like to start from zero and I can appreciate the inner flame that propels one to succeed.

I’ve been in the online dating world off and on over the years and I’ve become cautious. I suppose you could say I’m cynical but hopeful. Obviously if I didn’t think it was possible to meet a man that resonates with me, I wouldn’t still be here. But because of this caution it can take me awhile to warm up to you.
