PERSONAL QUESTIONS

-Name:
Malina

-Nickname:
AssyrianGina

-Sex/age/location:
 F/16/Ontario, Canada

-What do you do in life, interests, and hobbies?
I have a very busy life, I am a full time student at Catholic Central High. I also work part time, I am basically an average sixteen year old girl living here in Canada, I hang out with my friends at the mall, go to the movies and dine out.

-What do you look for in a guy first?
I look for anything any other decent girl would look for, a guy that is kind, generous and makes me feel like the queen I am.

-How do you draw the line between success and failure in your life?
I fail when I stop trying.

-Do you work hard to achieve your goals?
Yes, I work very hard, I am a very determined person. I know what I want and will get it soon enough.

-Do you think money can get us whatever we want including happiness?
No, I don't believe money can achieve happiness I think it can achieve material/ physical to an extent, but what happens when that physical element of our lives runs out?

-Do you think you have something that guys look for?i.e: beauty,
personality.
I believe I have the whole package, I have the personality and brains to along with these gorgeous looks hehe.

"I fail when I stop trying."

-What matters more to you?good heart coupled with good persoanlity vs. great
body with a beautiful face?
Good heart coupled with good personality obviously out wins against great body with a beautiful face, because although the first thing that draws you instantly to a person is the physical appearance but in order to have a meaningful relationship, which I personally look for. You have to be attracted to that person internally and that, in the long run
will mean more.

-What is the favorite thing about Assyrian guys?
My favourite thing about Assyrian guys, is that they are very respectful to our needs and wishes and don't push us into doing things we really don't want to.

 

CHAT QUESTIONS

No, it has never it's only been a positive factory for me personally.

-Do you consider your friendship with those friends, a casual one or a serious one just like the one you have with your normal friends in real life?
They are good encounters, not true friends because true friends have to interact with you physically, on a one-on-one basis; in real life.

it?

They are very informative and adds a new flavour to this website.

JuJu, YoYo, TuTu,
Funny, wacky, crazy.
