MEET MARKET
Steven is a reality TV junkie with small-screen ambitions. If Lauren Conrad is your idol, then this 26-year-old compensation consultant just might be your man! (Just no more “Speidis,” please!)
Leo, 23
freelance writer
She is: an NYC native. “I grew up in Manhattan, which tends to intrigue others; I just think I probably know the subway system a teeny bit better because of it.”

Turn-offs: wimps and “manorexics”
