Of a quiet, modest, unassuming, reserved nature. Somebody who is serious or sober (moderate, self-controlled) and even shy. For most of the 1800s, this was the ideal for a woman, as illustrated in Jane Austen's works and the works of many poets, writers, artists, and leaders. Not necessarily a doormat, but certainly a docile, gentle kind of persona.

A bas ass Mother Fucker! Any one name Demetre is probably going to be a extremly hot Greek or Italian guy.

This guy is always pulling hot, random ass, but when he does decide to settle down, he only dates the creme of the crop!

More cute rather then hot. They're to little boy cute to be hot. But they are so hilarious. Demetre has a really dirty mind, and loves to makes jokes about sex. He's always a Greek boy and has dark brown hair and almost black eyes. An all around great person, a loyal friend, loving, always there when you need him most, but a word of caution, HE WILL BREAK YOUR HEART. He will tear it into pieces and scatter them far and wide. trust me I know. It seems like he likes you and then when someone better comes along, he'll drop you on the spot.
Girl: (sobbing) Demetre, my boyfriend just broke up with me!
Demetre: oh no! That jerk, do you want to talk about it?
Girl: Okay

They talk for a while

Demetre: You gonna be okay?
Girl: Yup, thanks Demetre

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
