"Nature has no love for solitude, and always leans on some support; and the sweetest support is found in the most intimate friendship." Cicero
I like quotes and find so much wisdom in so few well selected words.

I was born and raised in France, and moved to California 12 years ago. I developed very early a love for travels and always get excited to discover new horizons, countries and cultures which I believe helped me develop a very open mind and sense of understanding regardless of your background.

I have 2 wonderful high school children, girl and boy, living 50% of the time at home and do love them tremendously. They are awesome, smart and I am proud to say well educated. I also know how to enjoy my time and the romantic relationship I am looking for developing with my partner. I understand it shall be cultivated on a regular basis, despite the required attention children require at time. I believe in a well balanced family life, and know I can be a great man in such situation. I am totally open to meet a single Mom eventually.

6' 162 athletic, green eyes and salt/ pepper hair (still a kid at heart though, don’t be fooled), light French accent yet very fluent English. No smoking nor drug and clean shaven. I am very goal oriented, confident but self-effacing, educated with a successful career, passionate, but also enjoy relaxing surrounded by the people I hold dear while developing lasting memories.

I can be classy and wear a suit or kick back and wear comfortable clothes anywhere I go, very easy going, patient and understanding, , warm at heart, kind, honest (not rude), confident (not cocky), self-aware, unselfish (but obviously not a doormat), stable, fun and sensual and enjoy life's pleasures. I am a touchy feely type of guy and hope you also ‘talk and respond’ to such a love language. Lots of emotional experience, but left the drama behind and travel light with the lessons only. Mentally and physically healthy.

I learned to enjoy nice things, loved to appreciate fine cuisine, enjoy cooking myself for my friends and family at time, but value happiness higher than all the materialistic things our society offers. I think I’m happiest when I am in a loving and playful, symbiotic relationship. I am loyal, faithful, and believe in deep communication. I am highly sensual and delight in that sexual connection when it is grounded in mutual respect.

I love running, sailing, scuba diving, skiing, or experimenting with new fun activities. Water is my element of choice though and any coastal or island travel destination will always be in my top vacation choices. Enjoy dining, nature, and yet times at home with that special someone.

I am looking for a best friend, a confident woman who has already experienced life a bit (or a lot) and is looking to push the limits of what else it has to offer with her likeminded husband or partner. Someone curious as I am, fun yet serious at time, healthy, financially stable and happy in general. A positive attitude is very sexy and contagious and I hope to maintain such dynamic between us. Ideally we love exercising or doing some activities together at least enjoy listening to the passionate stories from the other. Someone who still believes in love and relationship despite whatever experience she went through in her life, and wants to make it happen again as I do.

Of course we shall be attracted to each other in the first place and let a great and lasting passion crystallize, leading a one of a kind lifelong partnership where complicity, deep care, admiration, love, intimacy, truthful understanding of each other all coexist. Chemistry and a natural connection shall be shared as we meet, and we'll know it's there.

If anything sparks your curiosity, I promise there is much more to discover by yourself and I encourage you to introduce yourself if I do not contact you first. I can’t wait to meet you. I know you’re out there!

- Raising two awesome children
- Working hard while I am full of energy, so it becomes easier and easier with age (work hard & play hard, I earned it afterall)
- Thinking a lot now a day, about where and how I'll meet a wonderful partner to enjoy the second half of my life with

Making people dear to me feel loved
Sticking to goals I set for myself and delivering on commitments
Finances, numbers, math in general
Planning
Traveling and feeling comfortable in totally unknown cities and part of the world

I smile a lot, I am an happy person turning everything into a positive lesson boosting my confidence for the next step.
French accent (not so strong though).
Full of energy.

- Bourne Trilogy, Gladiator, Life is beautiful, Beautiful mind, Braveheart, Usual suspects, Million Dollar Baby, Grand Torino, Eat Pray and Love, ...
- No real favorite book, just some I read recently :
Positive intelligence, How will you measure your life?, The 4-hour work week, The lean startup
- The last opera I've seen in SF was Carmen which was great and interesting to hear the artists sing in French with their accent
- Any type of food really. I am curious by nature and love to develop my palet with unknown tastes.
Preferred cuisines are French, Chinese, Thai, Japanese sushi, Italian pasta, Morroccan couscous or pastilla, Spanish paella, ...
- Very flexible on music. I love it as a background sound to set the tone and atmosphere in the house. My daughter burned me CDs recently with popular songs. She has great taste and I do like those.

Passeports
Laughter
Family
The ocean
Food and wine
Love, intimacy, sex

How could I become my boss? Work when I want, from wherever I want with the people I want. Ideal isn't it?
Also I think a lot about meeting a life partner.

Maybe dating you if I am lucky, otherwise most likely at home relaxing or sharing some good time with friends.

I would need to think about it. I am pretty open and there is not much private things.
In general, I am a private person, not volonteering information to strangers (not a drama king steering attention to him, or the life of the party) however with individual I know and who are genuinely interested to know me, I have no problem being very transparent. Bottom line, it's about knowing where my personal information is shared and whether there is trust (by default you will get mine)

- you find me attractive and not only because you are curious meeting a French man
- if you are sincere about your intentions and communicative
- if a good part of what you read sparks great interest, excitement, makes you smile, and let your imagination gallop ... (I want to dream with you ...)
