In His Own Words
About him
Rather than retiring gracefully, this pensioner is clearly labouring under the misapprehension that he is still an adolescent. So deluded is he that he has spent many years of an otherwise comfortable retirement pretending to be a student by studying not only for an Honours degree but, subsequently, for a Master’s. Further traits of age-inappropriate behaviour include a total lack of dress sense, a tendency to wear lycra or nomex, heave heavy weights around and seek fitness levels appropriate to a far younger man. Even more worrying is a persistent tendency to want to play with fast cars. None of these things should be acceptable in a man with this little hair.
Of course, his friends, if asked, would describe him as a kind, honest and thoroughly decent sort of man. Those who knew him more intimately might also use words such as sensitive, romantic and passionate to describe him. They might also say that he tends to think too much and doesn’t suffer fools gladly. Previous years of voluntary work in areas such as environmental conservation and road safety education would lend further strength to the outward illusion of respectability as would an unashamed love of both literature and music. Do not be fooled. Beneath this cloak of apparent respectability lie such tendencies as a desire to sit around in university cafes discussing existential philosophy, the Counterculture, French symbolist poets and to indulge in other activities traditionally associated with student life.
Clearly this man needs help in order to behave in a more age-appropriate manner. Could you be the woman to help him achieve this?
About his ideal match
You are likely to be warm, caring, passionate and tactile. You will be willing to encourage more sensible forms of behaviour such as visiting the cinema, theatre or gallery, taking a country walk or relaxing on a sunny beach. Then again, should you meet him, you may just feel misguided enough to want to grow old disgracefully together.
