I am an "intellectual" who was raised in a "blue-white" collar family, love to read, and I am very interested in all intellectual issues that have to do with real knowledge rather than with affected, self-complacent, vacuous "high culture". But I am not a snob and enjoy people who have good human qualities regardless of their formal education, qualities like modesty, selflessness, generosity, non-egocentrism, non-materialism, equal respect for themselves as for others, humor, non-shallowness, gaiety. I am quite muscular but not bulky (42,30,38) and also very physical/sensual: I love playing tennis, running, dancing, caressing my partner, cuddling. I like beautiful things especially for my partner (fashion, lingerie) but they are not an obsession. I am creative, have good hands and eyes for the plastic arts, write poetry, and am a decent do-it-your-selfer. I have lived for more than ten years without interruption in each Latin America, Western Europe, and the US, have an obnoxious but not mean Italian sense of humor, and speak Spanish, German, French, and Italian. I work as a researcher in biology (gene sequencing, genomics, programming/development of statistical procedures). I do not smoke, drink, or take drugs and I am clean and tidy but not obsessively. I am looking for a self-confident, sensual, intelligent, very good-looking woman below 35 who is compassionate and generous but selfish enough not to neglect her personal well-being and appearance.
