How would you describe yourself?
I am a passionate, successful, entrepreneurial and very friendly guy with a great sense of humor. Very romantic, open-minded, laid back, easy going, confident and compassionate. I grew up in France, and I have traveled a lot. I love going to the Caribbean, Europe, etc. Nothing like a 3-day weekend somewhere on an island.
I am also a passionate guy who loves adventure and the outdoors. I once went from the Mexican border in New Mexico to Banff, Canada in an endurance mountain bike race. But while I can at times put a lot of energy into such an endeavor, I also very much enjoy a nice conversation during happy hour or at the local coffee shop, dinner at a cozy restaurant, or watching a cool movie on the couch.
I don't sweat the small stuff, and I don't like arguing about petty things, and so I rarely do. Most of the day, I have a smile on my face. I'm a glass half-full kinda guy. I'm also very social.
About my pictures: I was recently at a party with 800 people, and a woman took me apart and asked me if I was on Match. That's because I had winked at her the day before (on Match, of course), and she recognized me from my pics. For better or for worse, it appears that I look like my pictures :) I'm also 6'2", for real :)
I am looking for
The woman I'm looking for is attractive (at least to me; sorry if it sounds shallow to start with this, but we're not going anywhere if there's no physical attraction; side note: what I am most attracted to in a woman is her smile), affectionate, easy-going, open-minded and a good communicator. She also likes doing things together. The big things such as the trip of a lifetime, but also the smaller things... Like cooking a meal, going out to a show, hosting friends for dinner, dancing (I love all kinds of music, and particularly Caribbean, like reggae or soca!), an impromptu weekend trip, going to an NBA or WNBA game, visiting a winery, watching a movie at the theater or on the couch, having a conversation about pretty much anything, a hike, a bike ride (don't worry, I won't take you cross-country... (unless you insist... ;) )), grocery shopping, doing laundry, doesn't matter. Don't get me wrong, everybody needs their alone time and I'm no exception, so personal time will be respected (isn't respect the basis of a good relationship anyway?) But basically, I enjoy time spent with who I hope will be my soulmate and best friend.
We all know that partners should be there for each other when the going gets rough. Sure, it's important. But I also think it is critical to be there for each other *when things go right*. It's the glue that makes a quality, lasting and committed relationship.
In short, I'm looking to meet my best friend and enjoy this journey called life along with her. Email or wink if you think it could be you.

I know you're not supposed to brag, but aren't those profiles an exercise in subtle bragging anyway? I mean, nobody on a dating site ever says "I'm ugly and awful". Right?
So... here are a couple of remarks I've gotten since I've been here:
- "you look better in person than in your pictures" (personally, I think my pics are fine, but I've gotten that, several times, hahaha)
- "You seem like a catch!" from a professional matchmaker who wanted to match me with one of her clients.
- "dude you so rock!!" (that made my day!)
- "You look like a lot of fun;) shame you're not in Atlanta I'd invite you to my birthday dinner. ;)" (I could have flown there, you know...)
- "I am surprised to see you on here because of your wonderful personality and panache..... I'm surprised no one has taken you off the market..." (someone I went on a date with a little while ago; No one else has ever used the word panache to describe me. Love it!)
- "You gotta love a man with naked legs outside in winter" (after I had sent a pic of a bike ride) Also... I used to be a superhero (you'll have to wait for our first date to learn more. But I'm serious. Sort of...)
