"Flirt on the verge of the Pure and the Mutated Type" is a wonderful phrase; but it is a little opaque.

Maybe: "The best bet for cohabitation is someone like the businessman Ante, who verges on the 'Pure and Mutated' type"; or "...who is borderline 'Pure and Mutated Type'".

Emotion: smile Hello everybody,

Thank you for your help. I see now that there is something redundant in the original phrase.
