It's nice to see that there are people out there in the world that are quite content with what they have and not always striving for more, more and more.

Were you to pose these same questions to American men, I venture to say you would quickly get material answers, and a request for more than one thing in each category.<br /><br /><i>Or have I grown cynical about American men?</i><br /><br />And might this explain why my happiest experiences in the past 8 years of being single have been with <i>French men</i> who believe in the importance of their values, their culture, and their <i>patrimoine</i>?<br /><br />Now - I will say - I love love love Alexandre's idea for a film. And should Louis be fortunate enough to pluck <i>Fauve</i> paintings out of an auction house, perhaps he might allow a tiny visitor in great shoes to peek?<br /><br />Perhaps loveliest of all - if these men are part of your world - their clear devotion to family, and an intriguing mix with a desire to have time alone. A place to go to. Perhaps the French version of Virginia Woolf's "a room of one's own."BigLittleWolfhttp://dailyplateofcrazy.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8632687405116920387.post-33232274321031320042009-12-01T16:18:01.380+01:002009-12-01T16:18:01.380+01:00This is fascinating and a high compliment to the m...This is fascinating and a high compliment to the men you spoke to.

(After yesterday's post, I have most certainly gone off Sean Connery for life, though Michael Caine has risen another several notches in my personal hierarchy of celebrity.) I can't help but wonder, with some trepidation, how American men would answer these questions -- even though I am happily partnered with a wonderful American man, after almost 20 years of unsuccessful relationships with men from other countries!Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01432492923545133462noreply@blogger.com
