Q: What does your
A: Well, he's a tall and slim and he must be fit too. He's probably about 1 metre and 90 and weighs about 80 kilos. He's has got a long, thin face with a good cheekbones and a nice smile. He hasn't got a beard or a moustache - I don't like the facial hair. I don't mind if he's got the dark or fair hair and his eyes can be of any colour, it doesn't matter. I like the men with strong arms, long legs and hairy chests but not hairy backs. My ideal man likes doing the sports - and being with me!
