Julian, a 25-year-old technology analyst, is a distinguished gentleman who appreciates the best things in life – from fine wines to restaurants with impressive culinary pedigrees. He’s looking for a lady with good values and impeccable communication skills who’s ready for a romantic man-about-town.
Renée, 27 guidance counselor
Describe yourself: I’m a genuine, honest girl who cares a lot for the people she loves. I’m determined and know what I want in life. I love music (just started to learn guitar), baking is a favorite hobby and practicing Yogalates is my serenity.
What’s sexy? A guy who’s smart but isn’t cocky. A funny guy who has great personal style. I’m attracted to men who are tall and lean with some muscle tone.
What’s fun: Going to a restaurant, possibly sushi, and taking sake bombs! Live music, comedy shows, wine bars, walking and exploring NYC, laying out at the beach and shopping.
Guilty pleasures: Mani-pedis. Shopping in SoHo. Wine.
Julie, 24 director of publisher relations
Describe yourself: I am genuine, truthful, curious and supportive. I love learning and I ask a lot of questions. I’m realistic when it comes to dating and men. I have standards, but realistic ones. I pride myself in my presentation, both my appearance and character.
Guy type: I like manly men with a tall, athletic build. I think every woman would say she likes a man who’s well dressed, but I’ll take it a step further: I like good shoes, too!
Shocker: I’m originally from Des Moines, Iowa. I moved to New York immediately after college. I find that the best Midwesterners are often those who choose to leave.
Best asset: I am a great conversationalist.
Ali, 25 fashion assistant
Describe yourself: My family and friends are the first priority in my life. I love to go out, although as I get older I find my recovery time is getting longer! I am always up for trying new things, except roller coasters. I love making people laugh.
What’s fun? Running outside, hanging out with my friends, drinking wine, watching ’80s movies, traveling. I have always had a secret desire to be a DJ, which is probably so I could listen to whatever music I like at the party.
What’s sexy? Intelligence, understated confidence and a great sense of humor.
Best asset: I guess my legs. They are pretty long.
Biggest pet peeve: Sandals with socks.
