About his ideal match
All I'm looking for are intelligent, independent, imaginative women with a sense of adventure - this doesn't necessarily mean jumping off tall structures etc.
Most of us are here because we've failed at monogamy, probably more than once. What I'm trying to do is have a go at an alternative approach to see if it's any more sustainable. I have some experience of polyamory but not as much as I'd like and certainly not enough to come to any conclusions.
I'm definitely not trying to set myself up as some sort of uber-stud or build a harem. I already have quite a few female friends but they are for the most part all platonic relationships and there aren't any plans to change that fact. Quite what I am trying to do is somewhat less well defined, something more considered and respectful than swinging or dogging, not that I've anything against those fine traditions. I'm open for discussions on polyamory or anything else you feel like raising.
Very few of us will end our time on this planet wishing we had spent more time at work. On the other hand quite a few of us will wish we'd more fully explored what we are capable of while our bits were still in reasonable working order.
I'm not very interested in one-night stands or women below their mid 40's. Although knowing me I probably wouldn't put up too much resistance if we both felt the chemistry was there.
If you are into soaps, big brother or sleb' culture generally then please feel free to ignore me. If the thought of going to the Edinburgh or Hay Festivals, Minack, ICA, Whitby, Portmeirion, V&A, Luxor, Tate Modern/Britain etc or the Wiltshire downs looking for orchids, live music from blues to classical is more your thing then do the opposite.
Please form an orderly queue - this is called irony, it's a bit like brassy but not as shiny.
