I absolutely hate talking about myself! How can anyone do that, without being too conceded or too modest? Anyway here we go. I sincerely believe that I am a gentleman and I take pride in the fact that it does not require any efforts from me; it is my way of life (old fashion you could say). Although extremely active, I do not participate in any sports. Ladies I NEVER EVER watch sports on TV. I love traveling, and learning how other culture can be so different from ours (I am not very much beach). On the other hand I love Paris, Vienna, Budapest, Cairo, Madrid, Rio and Casablanca only to name a few. I hope to retire one day (not too soon I am not ready) in Umbria (Italy), it is much nicer than Tuscany and somehow still undiscovered-or in the south of France. I am a very simple person who loves cooking and shopping, I enjoy the company of people to share a good meal and a good wine. I grew up in a happy environment and appreciate the best of what life has to offer. I take good care of myself (yes I am high maintenance) and would understand if you were too! I could certainly lose four to five pounds although I hide it well, if I have to believe the look I get from perfect strangers (of the feminine type) Finally I hate to admit it; I like the company of women who are not bitter and live their “joie de vivre” to the fullest and appreciate the best life has to offer!

I'm looking for a companion and a friend! Someone nice inside and out, someone who expect the best and is used to getting it without beeing snob or pompous!I hate the word FRUGAL when it hides in fact stingy and scrooge!
