But what I like, is signs of life in the brain department. I doesn't have to be witty and erudite, sensible and wise will do nicely. Just indication there is something of substance lurking.

There's no point being handsome, charming and with a six pack but with absolutely nothing interesting to say. I will soon be bored, or irritated.

i know the meaning of the word selective. i couldn't be with someone superficial, lacking in depth and understanding. the man of my life will be wise or he simply won't be. i don't want to mother some guy who doesn't truly appreciate who i am. for that, he has to be intelligent.
that's my criteria to consider someone. it's not negotiable.

Mr BM is in fact M. La Lune Bleue. A rich baritone number, with the added bonus of being able to burst into a stirring rendition of "Amsterdam" or anything else by Jacques Brel, or with a nod to the local environs, "Black Dog" or anything by Led Zep.

p.s

I am also Scorpio rising!

Well put, praecipua. I feel the same way. It's lonely not feeling understood and prohibits a true connection.

I'm the same way with a good voice. I have Gem on my 8th and Venus in the 3rd, so my voice fetish is strongly established.

I love sparks, mental and physical. Smart guys excite me and are fun to play with.

Mr Wheels got taken from Chelmsford as a tiny nipper and spent his first 20 years in Sydney. His first words to me were a husky G'day....I often wonder how much I'd love him if he'd stayed in Essex.

When at nursery school teacher the teacher took me to one side and asked about them saying "sheet" Apparently, this is what daddy said loudly when the car wouldn't start.

I don't know if I am smart or not, so I think I should say that I go for people with whom I can have some sort of mutual understanding on the mental and emotional (and spiritual most of all). So, we don't have to be Siamese twins but our values should be on the same plane.

There comes a time when I wish to discuss philosophy, or psychology, or the esoteric and mysticisms of all kinds; and I don't mind explaining to someone who is not familiar with such, but it is easier if they are, or at least if they have a concept of such things. They don't have to be interested in it though.

He doesn't have to have a doctorate, but there must be a meeting of the minds otherwise the relationship can not work for me on any other level because even the physical aspects of a relationship begin in the mind to me.

It's not education I require, it is intelligence. The willingness to learn, the willingness to adapt. The maturity, vitality, strength and mental sharpness that allows us to communicate, even through cultural differences, language barriers, or difference in interests.
