Michael, 36 - Pretoria

I would describe myself as unique, intelligent, challenging and very passionate. I want someone that will add value to my life and not just be a warm body to pass the time with. I have a sharp wit, clever sense of humor, love to laugh and am extremely animated. I think the truth is always the best policy and I don't play games. I tend to be blunt, bold, to the point and am a very strong communicator. I'll say anything on my mind even if it's not politically correct......and it often isn't. I'm successful, determined and assertive. In contrast, I am also a great listener, very affectionate, caring, giving, sensitive and can be deeply vulnerable at times. I feel like I've been blessed with the best of both worlds in many regards.

A woman (25 - 40)

I am not expecting, needing or even wanting to find Miss Universe. In truth, I think that's a little boring. Be you, be real and be comfortable with who you really are. Don't try to be perfect. I won't pretend either. It's too hard, doesn't work and can't possibly last. When you can embrace your strengths as well as your weaknesses; that's truly attractive!
