I work in Manhattan, near ground zero. (we're probably going to have to rename that at some point). I am intelligent, sexy, hard working, fun, fit, flirty, interesting, interested in others and social causes. Love animals, movies, good books and women.

Self summaries can be so seductive. Instead of presenting yourself the temptation is to reinvent yourself. These should probably be done by your ex, or require a second opinion.

Really, I would rather meet you in person and find out for myself through conversation than to make a judgement call on the way you answered a few questions. That's not to say there are not questions on here that are immediate deal breakers--the pickle one for example.

A note on these questions. While it is nice to think the world is black and white it mostly is not. So, while the question asking whether you smoke or not is pretty straight forward, most of the others really are conditional. I have a hard time answering questions that really need more information attached to them. Will I be troubled if my partner wants to spend time with her ex? Depends. Do I think affection should be given through touch, words, etc? Yes, more than one answer to that one and many others on here. The problem is that you end up with a slanted idea of the individual rather than true picture. Better than nothing maybe, but I wonder how many connections are not made because someone answered a question one way instead of the other.

We're too rigid as a society now. We expect perfection and we expect it immediately. We have no tolerance. We are impatient. We are too electronic. We don't talk to each other, we talk at each other. Hey, when did this become polemic? I'm not these things, nor do I aspire to them. If you are, we are probably not going to get along. Or, you will get along and I will be fine. On the other hand, none of us are going to get out alive.

Working too much and not playing enough. Looking to change that. Maybe with you? Seriously, I worked for 4 years without a day off. That's just not healthy. So, more play, less work, as hard as that will be to do. So, I'm looking for someone who knows the value of play.

Planning the eventual domination of the world out of my weekend lair. Looking for minions and corrupt side kicks who want a piece. It'll be a small piece, granted, but a piece none the less. Apply only if you have at least two weeks free this December. You need to bring your own uniform too. They're expensive and just not in the world domination budget for this year.

eyes. And, I have big hands.

My favorite book, movie, music is typically something I have just recently discovered. I am a voracious reader and movie watcher. For music, Steely Dan, the Beatles, The Beach Boys, The Fuggs, Eminem, and too many more to mention.

women, sex, animals, pasta, flowers, books.

How the world devolved into the petty, argumentative state it is in and how it can be fixed. How politics can be changed to better reflect the ideals of representative government. Why ice cream has to be so fattening. Why women feel so good. How to maintain a positive life style without working. Why did the chicken cross itself.

There really are no typical friday nights. I could be working, I could be reading, I could be out, I could be watching a movie. I could be anywhere or anyone. I've not got Friday night habits. Could be working on world domination too, getting an early start on the weekend.

Admit something private online? Are you nuts? Say it here and soon it's everywhere. But, I'm sure this is a safe place, so, okay, okay, I'm a lesbian. But please don't spread it around.

you are fun, fit and like to have fun. A sense of humor would be great. Oh yes, and you have to genuinely love men. Hard to believe that women on here hate men but still want to date them. Been on a couple of those. Verrrry uncomfortable. Or, you've just got absolutely nothing better to do with your time.
