Ya, I understand this. I'm that way about passionate women. They usually have tempers, because they can't turn off the passion. I already had one of those. I'd rather have a kind smile than blazing eyes -- though, a little blaze is good.

Interesting thought! I might reform my opinion.
Perhaps there are different kinds of passion? I'm passionate in, uh,
that way, if you get my drift, but I'm not a real ambitious go-getter about other subjects (career, pasttimes, etc.)--I take my time and think hard about what I want and other priorities take precedence. Likewise, I have an impatient streak that I have to work hard to maintain control over under select circumstances, but I don't have much of a temper at all with my significant other. It would take something major for me to be upset.
