Self Description: I live in a picturesque city in Russia. It's Cheboksary, Chuvash Republic. But I'm not going to tell you about it as the purpose of this letter is to tell you about me. Well, I'm the way I am. There's no need to tell you about my appearance as you're able to see it for yourself. But of course one can't judge by looks only. I for one believe a person's inner world (a kind of inner "looks") is a lot more important than physical beauty. So, my family I love more than anything in the world is my daughter Irina. She's a beautiful and talented girl, very kind and friendly. But she misses fatherly love and care. We spend a lot of time together, and both love animals. I'm also interested in knitting, indoor plants, interior design and cooking (my friends even used to think I'd attended a special course. But the thing is it's thanks to mother and my motivation. I also enjoy I spend most holidays with my friends. And I guess the best get togethers are in the nature, by the Volga. That's where I do relax. Just imagine - 5 or 6 good friends, sitting by a fire, the water's still and it's quiet all around, nothing bothering you as all problems are left far away in town and we talk, talk and talk about all and everything. On such moments one realizes they're not alone and there're someone to rely on and share with. There's something else to mention telling you about me. I enjoy traveling. I'm born to be a traveler. I've been to Cyprus, Greece, Turkey, Egypt. But of course it's not my limit as I'm going to visit all the countries I can. Now I would like to say a few words about my character. I'm a woman in the true sense of the word. I'm kind, honest, faithful, loving, tender, well educated, strong-willed and possess a good sense of humour. You might think I'm bragging or exaggerating, but you'll be able to see it for yourself. I'm faithful and honest and won't accept betrayal. If a man I love falls in love with another woman and tells me about it openly, I'll be able to understand and maybe even forgive him. But if he dates her secretly and I learn about it from someone else, he'll never be able to make it up for me. That's all for now. Of course it's impossible to show you the real me in these few lines but I'll be able to tell you more in my next letter addressed to you alone.

Comments: As for what kind of man I would like to see as my friend and maybe husband, he should possess the following qualities. Don't worry, they're not many. I'm not that demanding. And still he should be kind, intelligent, galant, decent, honest, with good manners and loving children. It's not too much to ask, is it?
