Please have the decency to possess at the barest minimum a FACE picture before communicating with me ;). I love chess, language, logic, puzzles and reading. I would love to chat/meet up with someone who is exceedingly smart, perhaps 3-4 Standard Deviation above the norm; I am not impressed by Ivy League/Oxbridge burnished credentials - it is the mind with the thought process behind it, that matters. While I do realize that this may not be the right platform for anyone of such ilk, I persist, as what is humanity without hope and longing? Interesting people fascinate me, as well as those who have hobbies, like poetry, have a wicked wit and write well. And I am especially attracted to those who do not mind being challenged for having views and gracious in argument and behaviour. But if you play the \"I am hot\" card, I may be persuaded too. Lastly, no offence but I am not into men old enough to be my dad:)
