Month: August 2003

I’ve been spending a lot of time in Toronto lately and found the experience to be pretty interesting. My trips to Canada always reveal a little more to me about the country but this most recent trip has provided a mouthful. It started off with me introducing myself to a few of the people I’d be working with and my eyebrows raised a little when one individual refused to shake my hand. I’m pretty sure from the way he was looking at me it was not due to religious purposes – lol.

I spent all day Saturday in the heart of downtown Toronto and stayed overnight in the Radisson hotel that is right on the waterfront and walking distance to most of Toronto’s downtown attractions. I walked around the whole day visiting a variety of multi-cultral activities and also checked out the Adidas Flow 3on3 basketball tournament. The Eaton mall downtown was pretty nice too. Richmond Street and Younge Street were the two major streets downtown with plenty of activity going on. Richmond and the two streets parallel to it on both sides are full of many clubs all nearly across the street from each other along several blocks.

It was a shame to take in the many things I saw solo but I’m glad I was able to experience them anyway. Check out the pictures in the photogallery in about a week or so….

1. What are the top 5 qualities you look for in a woman?

There are several things that I have found that attracts me to a particular woman versus another. One is a high sense of self that speaks confidence and belief in herself. Another is a work ethic second to none fueled by a desire to be successful by her own definition. I also appreciate a woman that is intelligent and thought-provoking. Confidence in self and love of life in a woman are big turn-ons for myself. She is dynamic in nature and capable of sparking endless conversation verbal or non-verbal. I expect nothing from a woman less than what I expect from myself and I carry high expectations.

2. What’s your biggest complaint about dating?

Dating has become so underrated. I believe more people should date and use that time wisely to primarily get to know someone rather than trying to do so with them as your girlfriend/boyfriend or even wife/husband. You can date a lot people and learn what you like and dislike without having sex with everyone also. That`s not smart nor healthy. Dating can be fantastic and magical and give you the opportunity to see the various “fish in the sea”. New Addition: Dating is difficult because of obstacles that people place in front of someone trying to get to know them due to there past experiences with hurt, disrespect, and ignorance.

3. A good thing to know about me is:

A good thing to know about me is that I thrive on success across the board. That means success on a professional, family, spiritual, mental, and physical level and more. I am very confident in myself and take pride in the fact that I don`t just talk about things, I produce results. I love who I am today and who I will become tomorrow and I know that will benefit many. I take care of business, but repect and value the role of relationships in my life as well. Each day I grow wiser I realize more my own imperfections and character flaws. I address those things with a high priority to the best of my ability. I`m not really interested in what a woman can “do” for me but rather what she can “be” for me…..That is what will make the difference in the long-term with me.
