Three Easy Steps
Hello,
I am a 25 years old
brazilian graphic designer living in Philly. I work
as a Creative Director for an Internet Company in Olde
City. I've been around the area for just 5 months, and
the hard work prevented me so far from really getting
to know people. That is something I am trying to change
now. And why not to give the personals a try? Taken
away all the prejudice, it looks to me like a better
way to meet people than a crowded bar.
Let me tell you a bit
more about myself. Yes, it seems, no matter what people
say, that appearance is important, and I have to agree.
So, let's take that out of the way first, shall we?.
I have light brown eyes and hair, and a light tan. My
ancestry is Italian and Portuguese. I am 6'0" tall.
I have a muscular build, although I have a few pounds
to loose to get back to my ideal shape, what is being
taken care of with long walks and 4-5 days a week at
the gym. An attached pic and the above should clear
out these issues. Now let's get to the inside.
I am witty, what from
my point of view is a combination of three other characteristics:
intelligence, sarcasm and a slightly wicked sense of
humor. I am always reading something, and if I don't
have a book with me at any given moment you better warn
me because I most likely forgot it somewhere... The
subjects range from Quantics to History, Genetics to
Philosophy. Also Science Fiction, Fantasy, Horror, Suspense,
Comedy, well, basically anything somebody writes about
that doesn't make me sleep in the first 30 seconds.
I have a great appreciation for good movies, which I
don't measure by the number of stars/squares/martians/thumbs/whatever
associated with them in the movie review sections...
I can appreciate from "cult" to "chick"
movies, the later mostly because it means I would have
a "chick" as company... In musical terms,
I am more worried with quality than genre. I can listen
from Vivaldi to Depeche Mode, From Pink Floyd to Tori
Amos with the same amusement, given I am in the right
mood.
I love to play basketball,
and enjoy paintball as well. Walks at nice nights bathed
by moonlight? Why not?. Staying inside talking about
anything worth mentioning? It may as well be it too.
The company you have is most of the times more important
than what you do. I do not smoke, but can tolerate ocasional
smoking, as long as in outdoor places. No smoke inside
home if it is not coming from that juicy grilled steak.
I usually don't drink, but agree there are some special
situations where a good wine is a nice touch.
I do love animals. Dogs
and cats specially. Big cats the most. Unfortunatelly
I can't have a pet now. If you have one, well, that
would be nice too.
Now, what I am looking
for? You probably noticed I didn't enumerate any romance
related characteristics. That is because I am primarilly
looking for a friendship. I am a very romantic person
when in love, but it takes the right person to make
it happen, so I can't make any promises. There is no
specific set of rules. You're not applying for a job
or college. What I'm looking forward to is an uncompromising
meeting to get to know each other, not an interview.
But there are a few guidelines I'm likely to follow,
although they are just that. Guidelines. Appearance
is important, it goes both ways. The main component
is the personality, but if you have a nice smile you
are going to be far more persuasive. :o)
Also, I do appreciate
feminility, but not to the point where it would prevent
you from doing something because "it could break
your fingernails". There are several occasions
where dressing up and making up is desirable, if not
a must, but most of the time I favor the washed face
, t-shirt and jeans type of woman. No "barbie girls",
sorry. You should have a strong personality, and know
what you want as well or better than I do. And both
things should idealy overlap, or mostly so. I am well
aware it will not be easy, but, if it happens, oh, well,
now that would be fun. :o)
I'll be waiting to hear
from you. In the meantime, have a wonderful one..
Take care,
NightHiker
