I was struck this past week by how attractive and downright sexy a smart, confident, professional woman is again. Just speaking with a clever, thoughtful, successful executive made me smile and remember what a delightful and charming and sexy experience that can be.

You’re a hard core female professional — a driven attorney, a successful investment banker or investor, a thoughtful management consultant. You are smart and creative, highly educated and well-traveled. You have your own sense of style and are beautiful, athletic, and totally put together because you have the highest standards for yourself. You know you’re attractive and successful and are always making things happen both at work and at home.

I’m a respectful and buttoned-up professional in finance who has many female friends from college and graduate school and some incredible female colleagues. I’m exactly not the guy who would cross lines at work or in a professional setting. I’m smart and playful, thoughtful and kind as well as ambitious and curious and fun. I work out regularly to keep fit and because I have high standards too. I’m the sharp dressed guy at the office, on the subway, or striding off the shuttle.

Here outside of the office and our own professional environments I just wanted to say how much I appreciate and enjoy an intelligent and beautiful woman like you. Of course you’re physically attractive and well-dressed — it’s the quick wit and understated excellence that really makes my smile and my heart skip a beat.

I would love to start a conversation with you.
