Eccentric, ecclectic, opinionated yet open-minded. Extremely outspoken and I like others to be free to express themselves with me. Effervescent personality (most of the time!) I'm a bit of a snob when it comes to "important" things such as wine, art, music, film, food, coffee, culture, etc. but don't really care about what's "in fashion." I love good conversation and debates. I don't particularly like big crowds except for special occasions. I prefer situations where I can relate to people rather than the "cattle" mentality. Hmmm.....let's see. Very European tastes and outlook on things. Enjoy Eastern philosphy and thought. Prefer the company of intellectuals rather than "the beautiful people." Honest to the point of being irritating (hate head games of ANY kind.) Grew up as a hippie kid and hang on to alot of the attributes. Very independent and somewhat distant at first. Prefer to associate with others who are the same. Despise pet names or cutesy terms of endearment except in rare cases. I'm not looking for a "boyfriend." Not interested in just sex. Would like to meet people I can relate to on several levels and let things go where they will. No expectations. Been around the block enough to know the game and expect something a little more substantial and "real" than mindless "cruising." Oh, and did I mention I'm quite cynical too? Ah, well. It's all part of the package. I'm silly, serious, flambouyant, quiet, intellectual, stupid (yeah, I have my days!) and an overall trip. I know there are people out there who appreciate this kind of diversity. I'd like to think I'm a little bit of everything except boring (but I'm not a very good judge of that!)
