Remember, it's GOOD beer, so no Budweiser, Coors, Miller, etc. The only Light beer that is allowed is Amstel, and the only American beers allowed are Microbrews, Sam Adams, and Shiner Bock (the latter two used to be Micros, but now they are huge). If you think Heineken is a premium import, then you need not apply.
I like women who are beer snobs. If she likes a Belgian Lambic, that's great; a Belgian Red, White, Double, or Triple, and she's coming home to meet mom.
Women who like those "girlie" mixed drinks tend to be high maintainance. I don't need any more like that. Ditto with women who go to the bar and order Chardonney. If you drink wine, get a Red or PORT. Damn, Port is good. But if she gets a mixed drink, get a real mixed drink, not something fruity. The fruitiest that I will allow is a Mojito, a Harvey Wallbanger, or an occasional Campaign Cocktail.
While I'm on this topic, a woman who often starts her sentences with, "I heard on NPR..." is a keeper.
If she can debate coaching or managing decisions without using tired sports cliches, then she's all good in my book.
But don't get me wrong, I like these qualities in a woman who is still feminine. When it comes to her fashion, I prefer the classic look as opposed to the hootchie look. Something about the long skirt (Chanel is a good label for this), modest blouse, and pearls does it for me. Give me a woman who can wear a suit any day. And none of those trifling stacks, unnatural hair colours, etc. Keep it simple and classic.
In summary:
Soph's top qualities in a woman are
-Intellegence
-not high maintainance
-Sports Conscious
-Socially Conscious
There are other things that I'm looking for, but can compromise.
