I am thrilled by quietly self-assured gentlemen who are well-spoken, well-mannered, and well off.

It has been said that "Cleanliness is next to Godliness", and I'll add that cleanliness will get you next to me much more quickly as well! And gentlemen, please take it easy on the cologne. A dousing of cologne does not a shower replace. The good clean smell of freshly soaped and showered flesh is so much sexier than a quart of even the most expensive fragrance.

I adore a man with a commanding presence and an easy laugh.

Henry Kissinger once said, "Power is the ultimate aphrodisiac."  He may have been on to something, but I am hugely aroused by a man who inherently knows the perfect time to relinquish power.

I love a man who has long since realized that quantity will never satisfy the soul as will quality.

And, finally, what four things make me want to be naked?  Afternoon thunderstorms, kd lang's voice, the look in a man's eyes when he surrenders to pleasure, and the feel of warm breath on my neck.

Thinking of buying me a gift? You are too sweet. I appreciate nice wines and I have a serious weakness for expensive timepieces.  I love jewelry from Me & Ro and silk kimonos from Johnny Was.  A gift certificate to FreePeople.com is always yummy. 

Thank you in advance for your thoughtful gift!

Nothing makes me lose interest in a potential client more quickly than poor grammar, spelling, or vocabulary.  I understand an occasional typographical error.  Please, gentleman, even if it has been years since you toiled in English 101, almost every email software known to man offers a "spell check".  Use it.

Men who assume that because I enjoy my body I do not have a brain.

Cigarettes and bizarrely located piercings.

Men who compensate for what is lacking between their ears or legs with overpriced accessories or vehicles (especially if these poor bewildered souls actually believe this trade-off works).

Men who unnecessarily use "performance-enhancing" drugs.  In my experience this causes frustration, not enhancement.

I'm not crazy about cut flowers.

Men who, for some reason, want to "rescue" me.  I truly enjoy what I do, thanks.  I'm not a damsel in distress, nor am I looking for Prince Charming to come swoop me up....  I just want to enjoy you and for you to enjoy me.

Isn't it nice that this column is so much shorter?
