I am here for Serious Relationships, Friends and Networking

About Me


I am drawn to romance, passion, sophistication....I believe a man should be a gentleman (savoir vivre et faire)....I would rather express love and friendship with the eyes and the heart, not with words...I would rather live at a time when just holding the hand of the woman you love, eyes fixed at her eyes, meant everything....when people were willing to sacrifice everything for their morals, their patriotism, or simply the woman they love, without any precalculations....
I love spontaneous travel...I love to experience the local history and cultures...my favorite spots are in the Greek islands (where the sunsets are simply breath-taking!) the Italian Riviera and San Remo, The Swiss-Italian lakes, Paris, Brasil, certain places in Asia....my love for travel makes me appreciate the local languages...I enjoy learning languages, I am fluent in Greek also, and some basic Italiano, Portugues, Francais and
pu tong hua (Mandarin Chinese)...I want to learn some basic Korean and Japanese...
I appreciate a lot more a Broadway show or a foreign film, or a Formula-1 race or soccer game come to think of it (read European heritage), than a baseball game....I think we should consider ourselves very lucky to be a short cab-ride away from the Met Museum here in New York...
I am an ambitious, optimistic, independent-thinking, compassionate, honest and analytical person, intrigued by scientific discoveries...I don’t have dreams, I have goals and objectives...I thrive on challenges and when I get involved with something (or someone) I do it with a passion...

You Are From the Moon
You can vibe with the steady rhythms of the Moon.
You're in touch with your emotions and intuition.
You possess a great, unmatched imagination - and an infinite memory.
Ultra-sensitive, you feel at home anywhere (or with anyone).
A total healer, you light the way in the dark for many. What Planet Are You From?

My Interests

Vacations and sunsets(!) at places like these

Formula-1 racing (one of my goals is to go to all the 17 yearly circuits around the world)

If you know your F1, then you'd have correctly guessed... the one and only....Ayrton Senna

Please click above and volunteer, donate, advocate or, at the very least, get educated about UNICEF, at a time when millions of children around the world are starving and being abused, while Westerners are getting fatter...

I collect ukiyo-e woodblock prints (if you know what this is, we should definitely talk!)

Impressionists

art museums (my favorites, Musee D'Orsay & the Met Museum)

Astronomy (hubblesite.org, www.space.com, if you're curious) for a "humbling" effect!

Real estate investments in Europe

Investment management and stock markets around the world (part of my job)

I'd like to meet:

Genuine, independent-thinking people...people with presence, class, style and SUBSTANCE...people who believe, as I do, in the golden rule: do unto others as you would have them do unto you (much talked about, very rarely practiced)...and quality over quantity in your circle of myspace friends (as with everything else in life) would also be appreciated...

Music:



Yanni-Nightingale, at the Forbidden City, 1997...first ever Western artist allowed to perform there...and he was a high-school classmate with one of my best friends in Greece
