My friends describe me as being a novel of great depth, erudite, wise, thoughtful, confident, mature, winsome, sexy, feminine sophisticated, cheery and elegant French woman who contaminated people with her down to earth bubbly and happy positive inner spirit. I do feel comfortable in jeans and a sweatshirt as well as looking glamorous and dressing elegantly.

I am a very self-aware person with a strong set of values; I do often come across as intimidating just because I do know what I want from life and the fact that I am not scared to go and get it. But sure the man for me will not be intimidated and see in me the sort of woman he would be proud to have by his side in public seeing in me his powerful, vibrant, great woman he is after to build an outstanding relationship.

I'm French but very articulate and capable of holding an equally intelligent conversation in 10 different languages. (I speak fluently French, English, Mandarin, Spanish, and 6 different creoles when my Italian and Portuguese are at medium proficiency). I am highly sociable and I feel quite comfortable interacting with others, able to blend in and hold conversations ranging from witty and to deep and meaningful. I'm also a very well traveled woman having either visited, studied in, lived in and worked in about 30 different countries and still so many left to visit but so with a life partner will be even more enjoyable.

I am a Business development manageer and I also own a trading company in Hong Kong but those 2 things grew and transformed me into a workaholic. Of course, I had a fine expatriate life style which i loved but I still did not feel fulfilled. It still felt like i needed more then what i had or something different.

Now, I am closing that chapter of my life so my company too to enjoy more of life. I am an ambitious woman but I am not a greedy person. I did not open my company in china because of money but because of my love for challenges and adventure.
I do not base my happiness on money and being a workaholic even though i believe money does free you from doing things you dislike and since I dislike doing nearly everything, money is handy- laugh! I'm just kidding! But there is a bit of truth there!
For example, I do not see a future for myself as the traditional house wife. Even if I do not look down on doing those tasks i am pathetic at taking care of a household. So do not count on me but wisely delegated housekeepers if ever I become your partner and you do not want shrunk sweat-shirts or turned pink white business shirts.

I love studying and learning about new things involving the intellect. I would describe myself as a for ever free spirited student with the option of realizing myself through work; charity projects etc� just for fun only, not for survival. I am looking forward to sharing a fine and lavish life style with my match. My match is definitly not someone describing himself as being an average Aussie man but a man way above average in terms of achievements, tastes and intellect.

I am an extremely caring individual who would enjoy making my man happy. I am looking forward to contributing to a relationship bringing affection, challenge, laughter, enticement, excitement, nourishment, truth, mystery, possibility, pride, strength, vulnerability, flexibility, dancing feet, kissing to die for, Intellect, fun, playfulness, creativity, passion honesty, maturity, communication, trust, reliability, sensitivity, intimacy, humility, attentiveness, heart, openness, support, comfort, adventure, etc� the list is long.
But I do expect my partner to also treat me like gold in return, so I can feel appreciated and treat them even more so! To me, a relationship is all about telling/showing the other person just how much they mean to you all the time!! (Not to the drowning stage though as that would be being obsessed not knowing what balance is all about)

Jealousy is the perfect antonym of what I seeking in man. I am independent and time on my own is a must and would live well with a man alike. however, I do appreciate a partner who will appreciate time spent together as a couple and want to make some private time for us�not just for sex, although that�s important--but also to do activities together on our own (frequent overseas traveling, frequent romantic escapes, adventurous activities, candle light diners � ) making time for a �date night out� every week or so is important.

A Man often fantasize about a woman who loves sex and would love to have sex with him, and being with a woman who knows what she likes and is assertive about experiencing sexual pleasure. I find that to be a great thing this is why my partner will be a great lover with a will to heighten the sense of passion between me and him. He is wise, creative, tactile, open minded, not conservative or too traditional. The majority of men do believe they are the best lover ever but in reality only a few of you guys can be qualified as being a great lover able to reach a woman�s needs and make her feel close to him and enjoy the sexual act.

I can�t possibly consider a committing relationship with a man who does not get that the secret of a great intimate life starts before the jumping in bed stage. Seduction through creativity contributes to a satisfying and passionate sex life. I am after the fire or passionate spark that will not only be satisfying but also helps us to stay together. Most men do not realize that it has to feel good for the both of us and not become a routine act. Talking with my married girlfriends I realized that after a few years into their relationship seeing their partner naked rarely or never get them excited. I do not want to finish in having that I want my man to make himself desirable, playful, irresistible to the point where I will not be able to help myself not ripping clothes off.

My future partner is a man who does understand that desire and sexual attraction just does not happen on it own and triggering it is the key to a great sexual relationship -Laugh! - I hope I did not appear to you as being very blunt but just honest. Us French people we are like that!

Apart from wanting to desire my partner I do also like to feel desired by him and I am looking forward to Discovering and re-discover passion over and over for the years to come with the man I will accept as my life partner. I like to dress sexy not necessarily in ultra-tight minis all the time but I like to take care of my body and appearance as well as rewarding myself by enjoying it while I still can. I am not to be expected to Dressing Sexy only in bed. I like a man who likes me dressing elegantly when we are going out putting on something on the tight side or wearing stilettos and stockings knowing my partner�s fire simmering hearing him breathing heavily before we even leave the house� laugh!

I enjoy the thrill of creative efforts. I find a life style where I can access mental stimulation, learning and experiencing new things just about almost everything where everything linked to general survival and daily life expenses is being taken care of and is not a worry very exciting. I take great pleasure planning for myself a life including the following 5 main must have group of things:

1/Bring a 3rd dimension to my life by enjoying a dream couple life. Someone I could die for, someone who will bloom with me. A great friend and lover. An opened minded one too as I am not a conservative person at all. My standards in men are extremely high as I would prefer to go for a female partner instead of going second best in terms of men!
What type of life partner am i after? I guess u will have to ask me directly as you have already noticed it I could write for ever as I do have lots to say about him.
What I can say is I am certainly not a man describing himself as being an average Aussie man!

Since I can choose my match I choose to explore life further with that special someone who has spark and I do not mind relocating for him if there is some chemistry as long as the conditions suit the both of us and if we both see each other the best choice and not second best.

I do have a thing for men at least 10 years older then me. They are my preference as I find them to be better and experienced lovers-smile- and I feel more connected to a partner who is mature, genteel, distinguished, affluent, prominent, and powerful. A gentleman with very discerning tastes, extremely generous, eloquent, good looking, groomed, self assured yet modest in all the right areas who always make those around you feel comfortable and treat them with respect and dignity!

I do not like being taken for granted and I never take others for granted. To bring to my inner balance and satisfaction I do like to show my appreciation for a man and his contribution in the relationship such as appreciating him for who he is his accomplishments and for the positive qualities he brings to the relationship. The mistake of many is to want someone in their life then once they have that person they do forget about what they have and do not cherish it. Nobody is perfect. I have never met a perfect person. Have you? Personally I prefer my choice for optimistic thoughts and focus on what makes me flatter in a man we all have good qualities and bad qualities. Don�t we all know that? -Laugh- yes! We do but just tend to forget it!-smile.

I do like to bring smiles and laughter on my partner�s face as I find it appealing as I do like to laugh. My match is a man with great jokes or stories as keeping a sense of humor in spite of problems and being able to shut the door on worries temporarily when we have some �down time�, after all problems in each of us life come and go. The most important and wisest thing to do is to remember that we �should always consider how much we have more than he wants...� to keep a healthy happy relationship.

2/ The essence of my Personal happiness lies in wealth in terms of knowledge, experience, and self-improvement. I do not wait on others or materials things to make me happy. My strength and happiness has always come from within. My aim is to further my knowledge in the positive correlations between cognition, Psychometrics, Emotional Intelligence, philosophy, psychology, sociology, economy, finance, new technologies, etc�. but in International business, stock exchange by going back to UNI and through private tuition (the best money can buy me). I know you must find my tastes boring but I find those fascinating. I am one of those weird people thinking adept of Mahatma Gandhi who said 'Learn as if you were going to live forever. Live as if you were going to die tomorrow.' so creating for myself a stimulating environment where I can improve my self-awareness
A part from that my personal fulfillment is also linked to charity work and other similar activities where I feel like I can make a difference. (I do know I will not save the world but a little contribution towards that is better than doing nothing). Quoting John Wooden �You can�t live a perfect day without doing something for someone who will never be able to repay you�.
Hum! By the way I am aware that my taste in reading, learning and the urge to reach my full potential are not something others will easily consider as thrilling as I do � laugh- so do not worry I am talking about what I like to do on my alone time not with my partner - you know � I do that on the time I have when not getting involved with the household tasks- laugh.
3/ I do have a passion for foreign languages as you may have noticed and looking forward to investing a great deal of time studying through private tuitions (from native speakers only) Russian, Hindi, Thai, and Vietnamese as well as perfecting my knowledge of the languages I already know.

4/I cannot live without arts and expressing myself artistically through dancing, drawing and writing assisted by private teachers as I intend to further explore all those activities.

5/and of course, I am looking forward to enjoying more travelling and a finer life style than the one I have experienced so far as well as yachting, diving, diner parties, etc..
