Lourdes

Lourdes, 27, corporate lawyer, and yes she will out-argue you. She says it flat, no apology, because it's mostly true. Pick a topic and she'll take the opposing side just to watch you squirm, then buy the next glass of wine when you finally concede a point. The whole thing is foreplay to her and she'd be the first to admit it.

By day she's the sharp one in the room, the lawyer who reads the contract everyone else skimmed. By evening she's swirling something red and walking you through why this vintage beats the one you brought. Wine is the constant. The day job just funds the habit. She knows the difference between a good bottle and a great one and she'll make you taste it before she explains it.

Underneath the dry humor and the case-builder's brain, she's deeply empathetic. She reads people the way she reads briefs, catching the thing you didn't quite say. And there's a wild side she keeps filed away for the right person, the one who can match her in an argument and then surprise her after. She's bookish, she hops museums on her days off, she has opinions on architecture that she will share at length. Contemporary art is a soft spot. So is a tennis match where she gets to be competitive in public.

Win a debate with Lourdes and you've earned something. Lose one well and you've earned more.

What she's into:

• Fine wine and the confidence to lecture you about it
• Contemporary art and museum-hopping weekends
• Tennis, Pilates, and a competitive streak
• Architecture, luxury travel, and a good long argument
