I am a good listener,affectionate and very considerate of other people. I do not care for sports but I am ready for any short of discussion. I love good wine, food, cooking it and eating it, the blues, classical, some jazz.

I also like reading and Thinking.I consider my self in general as very open minded and respectfull of other people’s points of views. I like both fiction and non fiction as well as newspapers. I also like foreign movies, french in particular.

I like the outdoors for as long as they do not become a permanent distraction. Although I have not traveled for a while, I love traveling. I was born in Europe and lived in several European countries before I came here in 1985.

I like humor, and have learned to laugh at myself; my humor is a bit off and dry.

I exercise often, but I am not a fanatic. For me, exercise helps me to get some stress released. Most relaxing scene: the Ocean, nothing more relaxing for me than to see the Ocean and feel its salty scent. I like the mountains too, pine trees, snow are all beautiful.

I like animals and I usualy have few in my place. For the most part of my life I had dogs, now I have two cats.

A woman that I would love to find would be a woman who is assertive, intelligent, considerate of others, intellectually curious and very affectionate. Although a certain degree of attractiveness is important at the same time there are plenty of shapes and physiognomies that appear attractive to me. The real attractiveness comes for me from our ability to communicate each other.
