If You're Hot For: Creatives
With so many artistic endeavors based in S.F., the creative type runs amok in our fair city — and we definitely aren’t complaining. Their eye for design usually translates into dapper appearances and interesting lifestyles, which is certainly something to consider in a date! We'll take it!
They Said:
"If someone approached me and the conversation is brief, I’m most likely not interested. I’m more of a traditionalist, so I will usually take the lead. I live on a boat, so an ideal date is sailing on the Bay."
– James Tucker, owner of The Aesthetic Union letterpress, lives, well, on a boat.
"Body language is important, coming off a little cute with flirty smirks works for me. It is important that women are career driven, take care of themselves, and are style conscious. No Lululemon at night."
– Ryan Lincks, an advertising executive, lives in NoPa.
