Yes, yes, yes! I agree with everything you wrote. Relationships are always about give and take, but you should never sacrifice or give up your passions in life for a partner. It will only lead to misery and bitterness in the end. Sometimes I think readers believe I'm a cold and emotionless woman based on my writings. But you know me well, and I'm really caring, thoughtful and affectionate. :))

I'm always more attracted to European men because they tend to be more open-minded and cultured. They're focused on things other than work, whereas American men are obsessed w/career and prestige. These things don't really matter to me. And they also appreciate a woman's body more, take more time during lovemaking, and are less selfish. There's always exceptions to the rule, but these are my experiences. Latin lover? Well, it sounds spicy but I've never gone there.
