PLEASE DO NOT CONTACT ME IF YOU HAVE NOT READ MY PROFILE.

I am very passionate about life and think I have accomplished a lot in my 28 years on our wonderful planet :) I am looking for someone who has done the same. I have started a successful career in Marketing and am currently in an MBA program at the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern. My passion in life is traveling and experiencing foreign cultures. In college, I studied in Spain for a semester and after graduating I worked in Tokyo for a year. I have traveled throughout most of Europe and Asia and have been to 22 countries. I am originally from Poland and moved to the USA when I was 8. I speak Polish fluently and am highly proficient in Spanish.

I am a strong and independent woman who knows what she wants, loves life, and lives it to the fullest working hard and playing harder. I am a go-getter who is very driven and determined. I am very outgoing and energetic. I love to go out and experience new things. On most Friday and Saturday nights you will find me out downtown having a great time with friends at a new restaurant or a trendy lounge. I love to dance and my girlfriends and I will go to a club on occasion. If your idea of a great weekend is hanging out at the same local bar drinking beer in a t-shirt and jeans then you are NOT the guy for me.. if you have no desire to travel outside of the United States and don't care about international issues, then you are definitely NOT the guy for me either.. sorry to be so brutally blunt but I’m just being honest. I like to enjoy the finer things in life. I love to have fun... life is short so we might as well enjoy it while it lasts, right? :) I don’t believe in wasting time worrying about things we cannot control. I am a very honest and direct person meaning I tell it like it is even if it’s not what you want to hear. I don’t know how to sugarcoat. The only thing I hate in life is fake people.

If I find the right person, I am ready to settle down; however, I am not one of those girls that has a timeline.. I don’t think you can plan when or with whom you fall in love. I have dated enough to know what I am looking for – it is someone who shares my interests, someone who is ready for a real woman and not a girl, someone who is proud to have accomplished things in life and wants to continue to do so, someone who is intelligent, educated and likes his profession, someone who has traveled or is willing to travel and experience new things, someone who has a genuine interest in the world and cares about our planet, someone who loves life, someone who is cultured, sophisticated, passionate, positive, outgoing, open-minded, non-judgmental, and above all ambitious, motivated, determined and goal-driven. and please have a sense of humor... you must be able to laugh at yourself... ;-) ..oh, and also must love dogs :) ..I have a 3lb Tea Cup Yorkie puppy named Zoe :)

PLEASE DO NOT CONTACT ME IF YOU DO NOT FIT THE DESCRIPTION ABOVE, HAVE LESS THAN 2 PICS POSTED, OR YOUR PICS ARE NOT RECENT! ALL OF MY PICS ARE FROM 2009 AND I PROMISE I LOOK EXACTLY LIKE MY PICS! I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA WHY PEOPLE POST OUTDATED PICS OR MISREPRESENT THEMSELVES IN ANY OTHER WAY ON THEIR PROFILE. WHY BE DISHONEST AND WASTE SOMEONE'S TIME LIKE THAT? seriously. oh, and by the way misrepresenting yourself includes body type and height! lol.. I mean come on.. be honest!.. if you put 5'10 on your profile that means you are 5'10 and not 5'8, or even 5'9!!! hello! why would you lie about your height?.. I mean it's not like you can drink magic juice and grow 2 inches overnite! lol. Please don't email me if you are not at least 5'9. in terms of physical appearance, my type of guy is tall, dark, buff, and handsome.. broad shoulders and defined upper arms are the sexiest part of a man's body ;)

I also would like to say that I don't think you can 'get to know' someone over email. The internet is just a way to initially make contact... the only way to truly tell whether or not there is chemistry between two people is to meet in person!

If after reading all this you think we may have some things in common, then I'd love to hear from you!... but are you ready for me? ..i promise i'll try not to bite.. lol ;)

by the way, if you know the difference between "your" and "you're"; "its" and "it's"; and "their", "there", and "they're" then you just moved up to the front of the line! hahaha

meet up for a drink, see if there's chemistry and go from there.. :)
