ME? Easy-going, educated, rebellious, irreverent, independent, adventurous, creative, sometimes opinionated, but always willing to listen to the other person's point of view. I'm kind and compassionate. My job as a college professor keeps me in Manhattan most of my week. If you don't know Eastchester, it's about 30 minutes North of NYC. I'm young in body and spirit--slim and curvy- and have lots of energy. I am definitely a girlie girl, smart, comfortable in the world of ideas, and not afraid of athletic activities. Very, very affectionate and passionate (a credit to my Latino background). In dating, I'm a little old-fashioned and let my man take the lead. I don't take myself too seriously. I can be quite funny and I love to laugh. Above all, I delight in the absurdities of life. Guess what: I actually enjoy men very much and I am fiercely loyal. Trust me, you're getting quality here.
YOU? Educated, kind, attractive, sensual and passionate. You have excellent table manners. If you don't like being touched, I'm not for you. Smart is good. Brilliant? Even better! You MUST have a great sense of humor. I know everybody says that, but in this case, it is ESSENTIAL. If you do, we'll probably get along just fine. I love stimulating conversation, so that the strong, "silent" type of man is not for me. I actually prefer the weak (not too weak), talkative type. I don't need to spend every minute with the man I love. We both need space. I want/need a well-rounded relationship in which we can enjoy the arts, talk about what we're reading, laugh a lot, play a lot, have deep and shallow conversations, and have great "intimacy" time when the spirit moves us.

Working hard, laughing, looking for a good man...

Making other people feel good about themselves.
Analyzing a situation.
Giving advice.

I have no idea. My smile, perhaps?
I should ask.

Currently reading The Male Brain and Stephen Hawking's biography, The girl with a crooked nose (a real-life mystery), and others. I'm usually reading several books at the same time, and pick one each day.
Love reading non-fiction.
Indies, usually.
Drama & comedy.
All types of music. Find it hard to get into "rap" and some of the new very repetitive stuff.
Food? I'm not much into food. Indian, perhaps.

I plead the 5th.

If you like my profile, if you want to hang around with an intelligent woman who has a great sense of humor. If you have nothing better to do (lots of spare time). If you're really looking for "the one." If you work too hard and need to make room for "life." If you haven't yet adopted online dating as a way of life and you want to be rescued from OKCupid ASAP. If you think that "a great bird in the hand is better than two average birds in the bush." If you know what's good for you.
