I am some sort of opinionated bourgeois bohemian that is almost always positioned on the left side of the political spectrum, so if you consider yourself a republican I will probably think you suffer from a serious mental illness. Although I think democrats are more honest and civilized in general they are also too often too spineless for me to truly respect them.

I am financially stable, independent, attentive, considerate, affectionate, honest and supportive. (I am trying to reassure you here that I am not a selfish jerk because I detest selfishness). I am into healthy living, although I am not a puritan because I also enjoy gourmet cuisine and good wines. You should know right now that I like to play and watch soccer so you can’t pretend to be taken by surprise or complain about it when you see it happening! I try to do yoga on regular basis. I go to museums and enjoy spending time in nature just as much. I like to dance to latin music.

I am creative, passionate, and whatever

I am committed to social and environmental causes. I am creative and practice various forms of art. Other people think I am fortunate because I have an exciting lifestyle that involves traveling to foreign lands for the production and exhibition of art projects. I am equally at home in Amazonia as I am in Paris, Venice or New York.

Cooking and entertaining friends. I am generally in a good mood and make other people laugh.

How much I make them think, laugh or eat.

Movies
I enjoy independent and Avant-Garde films, but also film noire, suspense, dumb comedies and even spaghetti westerns.

TV
I like to watch the news but from foreign networks; in America there is no longer any news broadcast I can take seriously.

Music
Jazz , Opera, classical, bossanova, samba, rock, and world music. I don't like country music or what it represents.

Books
Too many to name. I have so many of them that when I move all my friends are miraculously out of town, or their pets had just died.

1)
Amazonia: a good lantern to se what kind of insect, rodent or reptile is biting me in the middle of the night.

Many things.

Who knows?

I am into having intense sex. If you can’t even contemplate the possibility of spending your weekends having multiple orgasms at different times of the day I am definitely the wrong man for you.

If you consider traveling important enough to fit it into your lifestyle.
If you have intellectual curiosity and feel passionate about ideas.
If you are attractive, educated, charming and open minded.
If you have similar interests even if not the same.
If you are able to laugh about yourself.
