appealing men in Sapience.

Thank you to all applicants, your letters were intelligent,
romantic, and funny......all the qualities we love in a man. *g*

And now, by request of the judges' panel, here is
our winning letter!

My name is Meahnem and I'm a human, 34 years old.

What is your favourite fashion or outfit?
I'm not really into fancy clothes. I like them practical
and comfortable, and like dark colours. I would
choose a twilight blue shirt and a pair of
midnight black trousers. To complete the
outfit a pair of soft leather shoes or boots.

What is your favourite past-time?
Past-time *grins* Would be when my wife first said
to me 'I love you.'......Happy, happy moments, that
was about 15 years ago.

What are your ambitions?
My ambitions are simple to describe, I strive to be the best that my
ability allows, the best husband, the best knight, the best citizen, the
best supplicant. That is not always easy when my worst judge is myself
but I always try to do better than I did before.

What is your favourite food?
Food *yummy* as a good Cyrenian I can't resist a nice thick slice of
moussaka. For those outside Cyrene, moussaka is a local specialty of
sliced eggplant layered with cheese and smothered in a rich sauce
Yummy

Describe the perfect date that you've had or would like to have.
Oh! The perfect date... A small mountain cottage. Outside, such a cold
that the lake in the valley is frozen. The trees, the ground, the rocks
are all of a pure white covered with snow. The clean dark sky is dotted
by tiny little stars. Inside, the sound and smell of pinewood burning at
the fireplace. A soft music comes from a beautiful small oak wood music
box. Under the blanket, no need for words, just the two of us embraced
and listening to each other's heartbeat and breathing... mmm! Perfect!

What is the perfect gift from or for a loved one?
I could give her the sun or the moon but then what could I give her
more? A twilight blue rose would be better, I could give her one every
day and see her smile every time.

What are your turn-ons?
There are two things that really turn me on *smile* her giggle when I
tickle her tummy and the smile on her face, while still with her eyes
close, right after we kiss.

What are your turn-offs?
Jealousy *shivers* that really turns me off, or makes me run. I'm a man
of
one woman only and if the woman that was suppose to love me doesn't
understand than many things are wrong.

What are three things you can't live without?
I can't live without my wife, good food and my swords. *shrug* might not
be the most romantic of all answers but it is the truth.

Define Sexy:
Sexy... as sexy woman? Would be someone with the right proportions of
beauty, personality and love. A little beauty would be required but not
much is really needed, some personality of course but the major
ingredient
is love. Lets just say that for me, my beloved is always the sexiest of
the women.
