In His Own Words
About him
I am a loyal,faithful,reliable( makes me sound like the family dog!) and thoughtful man,unselfish and modest.I am very much a one-woman man.I am self-effacing, occasionally a bit too serious,but I easily swing back to laughter (hope you like dry,irreverent,earthy humour...).
How on earth did I get to be 55?Most days I feel about 30- not sure I can quite pass for 30 in looks,but I give it a good stab!I have,at least,managed to remain slim and fit- I even have all my own teeth...
A modern man, well-trained in the domestic arts- but no pushover!
I would say I am well-spoken,articulate,intelligent,infor med,decisive and logical- I don't do drama!
Likes?Aviation(still want to be an astronaut),historic motorsport,gym(grudgingly), eating out,red wine,cycling ( Sometimes in Lycra,yes..),walks,cinema,getting into a good boxed set (Breaking Bad- beyond brilliant...),socialising,activities with my children,voracious reader- fact or fiction.Skiing and scuba when I can( the latter strictly somewhere warm)...and an eclectic taste in music,from classical through to current chart ( thanks to the kids for that).Unsurprisingly,I am an avid Times reader,preferably accompanied by a glass of Malbec....
What gives me goosebumps? My favourite perfume( depends upon who is wearing it,of course,and the touch of said person..),the opening bars of 'Fantasia on a theme by Thomas Tallis',the sound of a Spitfire or Mustang at full speed ( or a V12...),the sound of my kids bursting into laughter over the latest rude joke from school.
I visit a great many places through work,but never get the time to see anything-I would love to change that,especially with the right lady next to me.So many places to explore..
Dislikes? bad manners,thoughtlessness,liars,braggarts, z-list celebrities- you get the drift!
Having accentuated the positives,what about the negatives?
My job entails some very antisocial hours, and after 5 days of that I can be a bit of a zombie, but after a decent sleep or 2 I am a real pussycat!
About his ideal match
a positive outlook,tactile and loving- not afraid to display their affection- just the merest touch or look across the room at the right time is sometimes all you need.
Intelligent,informed and interested in the world around them.A good sense of humour is a given- a sense of the ridiculous even better.
Casual or elegant- and the unspoken ability to instinctively choose the right option!
A sense of adventure- sometimes you just have to throw caution to the wind..
Someone who values the slightly old-fashioned virtues of trust,where your word is your bond,and holding the door open expecting nothing more in return than a polite smile..
