Looking for Social French tutor - will pay $$$

Salut to all my native French speakers of RVF.
I am preparing for my summertime trip to Quebec, and I need a NATIVE French speaking player here to teach me conversational social French.
I don't care too much for learning business/job interview extremely formal french, just enough French to carry intermediate level conversations in social situations when talking to French women, and basic French manners.
I'd like to learn French slang too, and when to use it, and how to use it to build attraction/comfort with local Quebec women.
Building trust and comfort in French as it directly relates to French or Quebec culture.
Building quick rapport in French and saying things to make girls connect with you.
I'd like to practice this for 1-2hrs every other day for the next 5 months over Skype/google/Ichat video sessions.
I am willing to pay $$$ (via Paypal), OR trade teaching you social Spanish.
PM whomever is interested in details. You quote your rate.
Salut!
Mixx

Compadre,
I'd be more than happy to give you free French lessons. Mind you my French will be pure French, not quebecois French, but pure French will be a status thing with the chicks as they love the real French accent. In return, I'd like to practice my Spanish.

While you should learn French to maximize your stay in Quebec, don't neglect the fact that as an American of Latin descent (right?), you won't struggle with even rudimentary French. The Latin thing will play in Montreal and QBC.
But aside from that, as you speak Portugues and Espanol and because French like them is a romance language with the same rules about verb structure (Je-Tu-Il/Elle-Nous-Vous-Ils/Elles is the French equivalent to the Spanish Yo-Tu-El/Elle-Nosotros-Vosotros-Ellos/Ellas), all you really need to pick up are the verbs, the item names and the tensing (and there is a lot of cross-pollination between French and Spanish).
You'll pick it up pretty easily with knowledge of Spanish and Portuguese.

Mixx, I'll let you call call the house number and talk to one of my French maids, free of charge. If one answers and sounds like she has a speech impediment, she doesn't. Her jaw is still all swolled up from me smacking her face off this morning for fucking up my croissant.

I have a different plan of attack up there. I speak English with a very thick French accent. People just think you're rude and refusing to speak French to them but know how. Works like a charm.

Mixx if i were you, i would just find a one to one tutor from CL and then tell him how you want your lessons. I always prefer to pay for something than learn it for free, when you are paying for it, the tutor becomes more serious about his work and he knows damn well that you can leave any time soon if you are not satisfied with his work.

Mixx,
Have you tried pimsleur? I am on lesson 25 of the french beginner now, and I have made good strides. This is my first try with pimsleur, and the goal is to get to lesson sixty before heading to france this spring for privates.
When I started with spanish I went right into private lessons, and looking back it would have been better to start with pimsleur, build a base, then go travel and take classes.
