In Her Own Words
About her
I am unconventional. 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 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 am unable to lie and I can't stand lies. I value honesty, simplicity and straightforwardness in communication, because life is already complicated enough as it is.
I am well travelled and adventurous. I have lived in three countries and 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, tea, coffee, darkness, silence, nature, the night sky, animals (especially dolphins, elephants, pandas, hedgehogs, dogs), the sea, the mountains, the hills, the winter, classic literature, theatre (Shakespeare and Pirandello), opera (Verdi, Rossini, Puccini, Donizetti, Mozart, Bellini), classical 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 want a man who is intense in emotional expression, solid in his identity, comfortable with who he is, real and authentic.
I want someone who is humane, honest, reflective, tactile, courageous, adventurous, decisive, expressive, decent, considerate, unrestrained by social conventions, unafraid to say what he really thinks and wants, able to say no, down to earth, sportive and who sees both the tragic and the funny side of life. I want 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.
I am not looking for 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, not taking no for an answer and taking oneself too seriously. I will not be controlled, ever, so no point in trying to put pressure on me. Nor will I, at my age, be mansplained victorian concepts such as "commitment" and "compromise" by multi-divorced strangers. I mean, there's a limit even to comedy!
Appendix: I find "bad boys" and men who are somewhat different quite interesting, however please note that no addictions, no narcissism, no racism, no serial womanising and no criminal history (with or without police records) are non negotiable criteria.
Oh! And for those of you who are not showing their pictures: careful, you will end up bumping into your wife!
