In His Own Words
About him
Some details:
- London-born
- Lived UK wide (+ NZ & WA)
- retirement & relocation Jan 2023
- don't take life (or myself) too seriously but a ‘thinker’ too
- make friends easily
- good cook (others say!)
- straight talker but not dogmatic or belligerent
- more fit than most, I exercise but no more gym
- “scrubs-up well” (friends say)
- tactile; value hugs
- empathic listener
- not frightened of silence
- erudite, so if long words faze you, we won't communicate well
- don’t use a toilet as a urinal 🙄
- whilst not a party-goer I love entertaining friends and my wild-side will show occasionally 😁
- can you inspire me to complete the books on my laptop?
- thank you to all the ladies who have pointedly told me where I am going wrong but I’m complete, content & a realist, not looking for "the one" but as humans we want to share with a like-minded, content, balanced and interesting individual. Sometimes you have instant chemistry and sometimes people grow on you but please be stimulating rather than critical in your contact. Last partner was years ago - no baggage.
Suit photo is only a couple of years old but unusual angle! Older one sums up my character, possibly
Love to:
- laugh & make others laugh
- walk a hilltop/beach
- travel and learn. Study a new language with me?
- get dressed for an evening out (incl Dinner Suit) but otherwise, if clean and warm, not an issue. Feel free to advise 😊
- browsing a charity or s/hand bookshop
- cook (if you’re not a fussy eater)
- Ceroc (I can teach you the basics)
- cycle, swim; relax in the spa; pub fire with a glass of real ale, wine, malt or cafetière of strong coffee (not all at the same time!)
- growing things we can eat
- sailing (but prefer a cruise around Japan or steamer around IoM)
- gregarious but dislike relentless noise
- internet is for work; occasional entertainment; hotel/holiday bookings or bargains
About his ideal match
Past relationships have taught me, you are hopefully:
over your ‘ex’; tactile; emotionally intelligent & stable; easy mixer; smile a lot; like to learn new things (occasionally); dress-up for a special evening; some interests are shared but we’re not fixed at the hip! An open-minded thinker who enjoys reasoned discussion. Not a constant worrier; fault finder or sees negativity everywhere.
You love the outdoors, travelling and exploring without necessarily hitting the tourist trail.
You like the nice things in life; happy to have our friends/relatives/children round but not to the detriment of our relationship.
I value occasional silence so incessant talk would quickly wear thin.
As a humanist, I don’t want a pious person patronising me. I love animals but won't subscribe to a menagerie that limits travel. The calendar; make-up; smart device or TV don’t dominate. If you constantly photograph your meal; constantly on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter etc, we're incompatible.
Your message should be stimulating & profile complete. Please read mine fully, otherwise I might not reply.
That’s honesty!
