Highly educated professional who grew up in CA and took a 17 year sojourn to NYC before coming to Seattle seeks peer. I have been very disappointed with the women in Seattle so far (On several different levels. I know, I know, NYC spoils you). Convince me otherwise? You should be fit, smart, educated, and thriving career of your own and looking to be with someone not because you're needy or you have nothing better to do, but because you truly want to be with the other person. Maturity, no drama, and spontaneity is very sexy.
So a few things...
-If you have half of your body covered in tattoos, it probably won't work. (Nothing personal, just not attractive at all for me)
-If you're a conservative republican, it probably won't work. Banter is good, but basic logical viewpoints on what a fair society is are hard to get around.
-If you're a yogi, runner, etc and fitness is a focal point in your life, we will get along famously.
-If you are a very religious person, this probably won't work. Enlightened Agnostics and Atheists with their viewpoints grounded in Science are very attractive to me.
-Being very smart is also very sexy. College grads (grad school a big plus) is non-negotiable.
-Freedom and flexibility is important. I'm heavily involved in work and projects and don't have a lot of free time to throw around. So if you have kids, it's not a deal breaker, but it probably limits your spontaneity which is very attractive.
-If you have hang ups about sex or affection, we won't be a good fit. I've been there done that and it will eventually erode even a great/strong relationship.
-Physical attraction is a must. It's the most important thing in the first 10 days and becomes less important after that, but it is still important. I'm somewhere between Brad Pitt and Quasimodo. Please be as well.
