The number one quality I look for in a guy is humility and an amazing sense of humour, after that, I guess you can’t really compromise with chemistry and amazing sex in the long run, it’s either there or it’s not, but charming, masculine, sexy guys with a lot of ambition, drive and a youthful spontaneous energy (regardless of age) are always welcome. I usually go for guys older and taller than me but I’ve been known to surprise myself in the past.

In London I am at university doing a degree in Hispanic Studies, learning Spanish and Portuguese languages and studying Iberian and Latin American history and literature. In my free time I like to work out, and I’m a huge music and fashion geek. I would love to carry on my studies to a Masters and PhD in Latin American studies and ultimately work in academia, teaching and writing books and generally being a nerd.

What attracts me to a man is honesty, reliability and masculinity. I would much rather someone say something that they know I don’t want to hear if it is the truth. A man that looks good in a suit, but can swing an axe convincingly. On the shallow side I tend to prefer men that are older than me and taller than me. I’m 5’8″ and 39. And no, not a gay 39, ask me next year and I will happily tell you I am 40. The rest I don’t want to prescribe, I find different men beautiful for different reasons.

I have had extreme highs in my life which have introduced me to some truly inspiring and amazing people. But I have also had great lows which have showed me how cruel and vile some people can be. Some have said I might be guarded or have put up protective barriers. This may be true. But personally I haven’t had that much time to think about it. Life is too short. You have to move on and seize the day.

People tell me that I’m constantly smiling, even too much sometimes, but surely that can’t be a bad thing. I live and work in London and have been loving it since I moved here 3 years ago. London has so much to offer and I just try and embrace it as much as possible.
