Turn-ons
Turn-offs
I really don’t like selfish people, with some people it’s all “me, me, me” and I can’t stand that.
Another big turn-off for me is narrow-minded people, there are so many wonderful places to visit
and people to meet in the world and I can’t wait to get started.
Turn-ons
I’m into dark-haired mysterious men, but the most important thing for me is that they are kind-
hearted, adventurous and have a good sense of humour. I read a lot and like having a good debate
so I’m looking for someone who is well-educated.
Turn-offs
The biggest turn-off for me is big-headed guys, I can’t bear people who think they are better than
others. I also don’t like bad-tempered people, I’m an optimist and I always try to see things in a
positive way.
