In Her Own Words
About her
I am unconventional and funny. I always see the funny side of life and situations.
I am sociable, curious about people's stories and I like to meet new people, but I also need my own space to think, remember, plan, imagine.
I am a good listener. The lives of others matter to me.
I don't particularly like to receive attention.
I am reflective, inquisitive and I like deep conversations.
I am spontaneous, decisive, optimistic, energetic, independent, vocal about the things I consider important. I am determined, strong willed and unafraid to express my opinions.
I am not desperate to be in a relationship, I'm just looking for the right person. In relationships, I am committed, generous and super-caring. I don't want people to do things just to make me happy, if they don't really feel like doing them. I am unable to lie and I can't stand lies. I want honesty, simplicity and straightforwardness in communication, because life is already complicated enough as it is.
I am interested in politics, I have a strong social conscience and I would say I'm left wing, although my views do not exactly fit in a simple box.
I am adventurous. I believe there is no such thing as a "safe space" in this world.
I like different kinds of music, classic cinema, food (Italian, Chinese, Mediterranean), cooking, artistic sports, big motorbikes (Ducati, Harley Davidson, Kawasaki), fireplaces, teas, herbals, coffee, darkness, silence, nature, the night sky, animals (especially dolphins, elephants, pandas, hedge hocks, dogs), the sea, the mountains, the hills, the winter, classic literature, theatre (Shakespeare and Pirandello), opera (Verdi, Rossini, Donizetti, Mozart, Bellini), classic ballet, visual arts, architecture, stand up comedy, concerts, anthropology, fitness, long walks in nature, interesting cities, hiking and traveling.
I am interested in people, their inner worlds and what connects them together.
About her ideal match
I would like to meet a man who is solid in his identity, comfortable with who he is, someone who is real, authentic, who knows the truth about himself, someone who looks in the mirror and can stand seeing his limitations and his mistakes with no need for making excuses. I would like someone who shares my basic values, the way I see life and the things I like.
I would like a man who is humane, honest, reflective, tactile, courageous, adventurous, decisive, able to express his emotions, decent, assertive, unrestrained by social conventions, unafraid to say what he really thinks and wants, able to say no, down to earth, sportive and who is able to see both the tragic and the funny side of life. I would like someone who is happy with me and by himself, who can say no to me and who doesn't feel any need to make me happy by sacrifice or compromise.
Please don't tell me you are an old fashioned romantic gentleman who would always buy me flowers, remember my birthday, cover me with chocolates on valentine Day, celebrate anniversaries and open the car door for me: it just won't work between us.
Deal breakers: religiosity, stupidity, self-centredness, puritanism, conformism and taking oneself too seriously.
Appendix 1: I find "bad boys" and men who are somewhat different quite interesting, however please note that no addictions, no serial womanisers and no criminal history (with or without police records) are non negotiable criteria. Thanks.
