In His Own Words
About him
Easy going, retired professional guy.
Close circle of mainly married friends. Looking to expand on those. Attracted to creatives/ but they’re just the ones I’ve met so far on this journey. What was your discipline?
Interested in all arts, culture, food, Nat Trust properties, Georgian architecture, coast, music (classical, easy listening, jazz, soul). sports, touring and classic cars! Content pottering in the garden/countryside, close to nature but definitely open to new possibilities. Curious to explore health and nutrition. Visit farmers markets and eat organic/free range, wherever possible..
I enjoy meaningful conversations, have a great SOH and try to be one of the good guys. What women would call empathetic.
My younger self was very spontaneous and believed anything was possible. And for a long while it was. Particularly during my NLP stage.
My current self is calm and measured but feel I need to recapture that youthful spirit and seek new horizons. So would like companions/a partner for visits to galleries exhibitions, days away, European city breaks and new adventures. Do less long haul nowadays but Japan is a particular favourite. Where would you chose?
And if love blossomed, how wonderful would that be.
I’ve been on my own a long time now. Currently filling the void attempting a first novel. You may well prove my muse and source of inspiration. Don’t have to live in each others pockets. Appreciate you need space of your own. But also open to cohabiting too. Really don’t mind where I am located. It’s who you’re with that counts.
They say a man who stands alone is strong enough not to need anyone in his life. True. But sometimes we’re just waiting for the right person to come along……
Thanks for reading.
About his ideal match
I’m young(ish) looking for my age with a mature outlook but a still inquisitive mind.
I’m hoping to meet someone similar, who is warm, grounded, good natured and wanting to make the most of this next phase in life. We’re not here forever, so need to grasp these precious moments.
Someone attractive, who takes care of their appearance. But ultimately, personality and character trump looks. Sounds obvious but for the record, no drug use, heavy alcohol consumption and preferably non smoker please.
Finally, in my experience, opposites can and do attract, so do say hello. Some of the nicest people here are ones the App algorithm says I have zero in common with! I’ll reply to all respondents.
Hope I made you smile.
