In His Own Words
About him
I am 73 retired and have been widowed for over 9 years.
To be frank I have no idea what I want for the rest of my life now. I miss the company of my wife and being with someone who it is a joy to be with and just talk about something or nothing. (There is more that I miss but would be too long winded to put here.)
Whoever reads this profile will appreciate that anyone, male or female who has reached my age has ideas and views that they have built up over time. It is known as life's experience! The last couple of years have cemented some of those views and has also given me a problem in how I respond to others along with who I want to be associated with and where that could lead.
There is no desire to meet someone who is locked up in misery and paranoia, (they may not realise they are). I want to be happy again, enjoy a good laugh, to be spontaneous and do "Stuff" together. My preference would be to meet someone who is self-sufficient and not have a needy personality. What this really means is that I don't want aggravation or problems that arise from their past.
Photography is my main hobby and wanting to improve my composition and technique. That does not mean I want to meet someone who is as keen as myself but they should appreciate what I want to achieve, just as I would encourage them with their interests. Obviously someone who is interested photography would be a bonus.
Locally my preference is to walk, driving when it is essential, I am not a fitness addict and enjoy eating most foods.
About his ideal match
A Relationship / Friendship is based on knowing someone and what makes them tick, words used on most of the profiles seen here could fit any scenario, so it will take time and effort for me to meet a lady who could become part of my life. The spark that takes that further will only come in time.
There is always the personal criteria used in identifying a new person to fill the gap that there is, it might be a style of dress, a smell, the way that person eats their food or any combination, so words alone will not do it for me. Being attracted to someone is a personal thing that is also true of me being attractive to someone else. . Being 68 does not mean that I'm not young at heart.
My marriage was one of trust, integrity and honesty which was a partnership that worked. My challenge is to find someone else that has the same characteristics and principles.
I have no interest in religious activity, I don't want to be converted, and being intolerant of cats... along with being a smoker would put you on my reject list.
It is difficult to create an ideal especially as everyone has their Idiosyncrasies having grown into their 50's / 60's and had previous relationships. Me included.
