About me:
One day I’d like to: Set off on a trip around the world with a map, a laptop, and some good company.
I never want to: Bungee jump (but I have jumped out of a plane.)
Most important attributes in a man (in order of importance): Honesty, intelligence, sense of humor, curiosity.
Best place to meet a guy: Parties, airplanes, online. But, really—any place that is not a bar.
Fantasy job: Anthony Bourdain has it right now.
Random fact: I share a birthday with Derek Jeter. Disclosure: I tell it to everyone I meet and he is on my laminated celebrity list.
Most unusual habit: I stand like flamingo when I brush my teeth or wash dishes.
Greatest pleasures: Fridays at 6PM, NY pizza, belly laughs, short stories, clean sheets, sleeping near the ocean, a good dirty joke, the runner's high.
Best attributes: Quirky in the good way, loyal, sassy, long-legged, always root for the underdog.
Worst attributes: Tendency to procrastinate, penchant for cheesy movies, always root for the underdog.
Best holiday: Christmas Eve
Worst holiday: New Year’s Eve
Aspirations for the coming year: Take two big trips to places I have never been (short list: Philippines, Buenos Aires, Turkey), learn to play golf, brush up on my French, go on great dates.
About you:
There is no checklist, but I would guess that the right guy has all the important things (see above) plus attractive (to me). You laugh a lot. Kiss well. Try to find the good wherever you can. Bonus points if you smell nice.
If you are more daring than a wink...I would like to hear from you.
