MEET MARKET
SHEA, a 34-year-old software developer, is looking for a lady who isn’t afraid to look him in the eye. Whether in New York City, the countryside or on an impromptu trip, he’s hoping for some one-on-one focus. Let’s see those peepers, ladies!
Rosanna, 31
video production manager
She is: an optimistic chick. “I’m a glass-half-full type.”
She wants: a Prince Charming. “He should be funny, intelligent and charming. Charm overrules beauty.”
Turn-ons: humor, wit and nice shoulders
Turn-offs: pretentiousness and bad manners
Celebrity crush: George Clooney
Celebrity look-alike: Sandra Bullock
Shocker: She knows all the words to most of the popular dance-hall records of the early ’90s.
Ilise, 35
beauty copywriter/sideshow performer
She is: not your average copywriter. “I work a day job as a copywriter, but at night and on weekends, I’m a sideshow performer and producer.”
She wants: a sky-high guy. “I’ve always gone for tall, slightly nerdy guys with a punk-rock edge.”
Pet peeve: thoughtlessness
Best asset: her sense of humor
Fun times: seeing live music, going to the movies and spending time with friends
Deal-breakers: frat-boy types
Jenny, 32
client representative
She is: far from a wallflower. “I’m a funny, aggressive, bubbly go-getter.”
She wants: a good-looking guy. “A Christian Bale or Keanu Reeves look-alike is my preference.”
Fun times: dancing and sipping on martinis at a lounge, taking road trips and visiting Las Vegas or Atlantic City
Dating disaster: Her date’s teeth were yellow!
Ideal date: a nice dinner and wine, with great conversation that lasts all night
Pet peeve: ignorance
