Texas-born gal wonders if guys up North can be gentlemen too

Kelly, 28

True to her home state’s reputation, Kelly has a big heart for animals, so her ideal man must love cats, dogs and — of course — her.

Early start: Kelly enjoys starting her day with a solo run through Central Park.

Meat and potatoes: The 28-year-old is vegetarian — most of the time. “I was born in Texas, so I do eat meat,” she says.

Wild thing: Before she moved to New York, Kelly lived in Tennessee and was involved in pet rescue.

Ms. Fix-it: Kelly says she knows more about home repair, building and maintenance than most men she’s dated.

Seeing is believing: She describes herself as a goal-oriented person, which explains the vision boards you’ll find in her apartment.

Smell test: Nothing turns her off more than a man with bad breath or body odor.

Celebrity look-alike: People have told her she resembles Cameron Diaz.

Austin, 25

Zandy Mangold
Video director

He is: A foodie. “I love discovering new foods I haven’t had before,” says Austin.

He wants: a smart girl. “I want her to be way more intelligent and literate than me,” he says.

Fond of felines: He is more a cat guy than a dog guy.

Sport of choice: Kickball

Nice moves: Austin claims he can do the Electric Slide.

Field trip: His ideal date starts with hanging out in a park, followed by kite-flying and eating a nice dinner.

Matt, 28

Account manager

He is: confident. “I’m tall, dark and handsome, with a steady job, and I come from a good family,” explains Matt.

He wants: A girl with her nose in the air. “It’s weird, but I dig high-maintenance, materialistic girls,” he says.

Biggest flaw: He admits he can be elitist.

Def poet: In his spare time, Matt writes poetry.

Bar order: Old Fashioned

Make room: When flying, Matt prefers to sit on the aisle to give his 6-foot-4 frame legroom.

Robert, 30

Christian Johnston
Lawyer

He is: a thinker. “I’ve been described as intellectually curious, and I think that’s fair,” says Robert.

He wants: an outgoing girl. “I do better with talkers rather than quiet types,” Robert notes.

Turn-on: He has a thing for girls who wear glasses.

Celebrity twin: Zach Braff

Jump ball: Robert is a Brooklyn Nets season-ticket holder.

On his DVR: “Game of Thrones” and “Louie”
