Frenchlivesmart, 40

Fight for what you believe. Chef by trade and student by choice. Proud French Canadian and perfectly bilingual. I am a city guy who prefers dining out over camping or hiking or anything along those lines. I love to cook and even more so with a perfectly paired glass of wine. Quiet and well thought out, I will engage in meaningful conversation and mostly avoid small talk. I enjoy a good book or a good documentary, walking the dog, and yes I confess, the occasional video game.

I value a woman who is well rounded, independent and smart. One who understands I need my space and who also has her own life, but also enjoys spending time with a partner sharing similar interests. It is all about balance, spending time together and spending time having our own lives.

I have manners, am cultured and well traveled. Knowledgeable of world events and politics both national and international. I am very much a listener rather than a talker. These traits I also value in a woman.

Anything you may want to ask, I will answer.
