In His Own Words
About him
My friends would describe me as self-confident, sociable, affectionate, kind, empathic, deep thinking, fun-loving gentleman, pioneering, inspiring and a keen conversationalist. I believe in the musketeer motto "All for one and one for all" and am loyal to my friends.
I enjoy great music of a wide range, but principally rock, blues and classical, King Crimson, Bill Evans and Beethoven being some of my favourite composers. I play music according to mood and also to enhance my enjoyment of life. Sitting beside a real fire with a glass of Amerone wine listening to Beethoven's piano sonatas is my picture of relaxation. An evening with friends over dinner with wide-ranging conversation - both silly and serious - is a special treat for me.
I'm as active physically as I am mentally. Like the greek philosophers, I am happy thinking deeply while I'm exercising, whether that is running or cycling or a walk in the forests and fields. I read a great deal, being especially interested in philosophy and science and like to debate the main issues facing humanity.
I would say that I'm an indefatigable optimist and positive thinker who likes to inspire the same in others. I'm a classical liberal and believe in maximising freedom of people to pursue their life. My book and articles reflect this.
Humour is the great connector between people, and I enjoy all types of comedy, especially live standup. My comic heroes are Steven Wright, Bill Hicks, Eddie Izzard, Billy Connolly and the Monty Python team.
About his ideal match
My ideal partner for friendship would be affectionate, happy, kind, warm, empathic and enjoy sharing music, comedy, conversation and the beauty and wonder of the world. Someone who likes both physical activity and deep thinking, while also being open to light hearted conversation. It would be fun to cycle together, enjoy the best food and drink and travel (by car or plane) to other countries.
My ideal partner would be a moral boost, helping me to achieve my goals, but also someone who would allow me to promote them as well. I love affection and when supplied with it, I can achieve great things. I like to be able to do the so-called manly things, like chop wood for the fire and heavy stuff. Its nice to work out a complimentary division of labour.
I would prefer my ideal partner to share the understanding that it's not whether a relationship has problems - all do -, its more about talking through problems those that arise.
I look forward to sharing the world's wonder and excitement.
