I love a man with a great sense of humor and who is intelligent - a man who has a great smile. He has to make me laugh. I like a man who is very ambitious and driven and who has a good heart and makes me feel safe.

There are so many things to talk about between black people Hispanic people white people gay people men women it's all based on fear.
