In His Own Words
About him
I like to use age for experience/knowledge to benefit others & for the community. But I haven't fully grown up yet, so I haven't invested in a pipe, slippers & woolly cardigans. Better busy than bored; trouble is that reduces time & energy! And the New Years resolution must be to modify my current activities. Seemingly being busy & too committed is not conducive to certain aspects of life! Plus I live in a house ...that needs attention, time....lots, and I must plan & knock it down/redevelop or move! But I also want to live a bit and share the times, especially good times with someone special. Sport helps: firstly Rugby, then Le Mans/motor sport, cricket, cycling, swimming & canoeing in the summer & more.Food/wine feature strongly, . I'm actually a Masterchef "qualifier" & regional runner up, under the old rules, but I love a day in National Trust settings where there is history, architecture, wild countryside or just a good cream tea in a charming village! I do love history & British traditions. As a child of the 60s & grew into the 70s music was important to me & meant I grew into the 80s: an era of Simple Minds & Deacon Blue, but I love Mumford & Sons, Adele & Snow Patrol too & much more. Ive been genuine in responses, but I do change and vary to some things. I do enjoy erudite conversation. Hopefully our first meeting won't be a review of investments or critical scrutiny of the past, plus a judgement made on the whole PERCEIVED picture of "what seems" or this profile or judged by my interest in your safety or the car I arrive in! But does it matter the colour of eyes or our star signs? But it would be great if you share my wish to fill a trolley in a French hypermarket with cheese, wine, fruit, smoked sausages, garlic, wild mushrooms & a 10 year old smoked oak barrel aged cognac, plus enjoy a zest for adventure/fun.
About his ideal match
I hate being prescriptive and searching for a stereotype that fits certain criteria....character, values and conversation are much more important with some tolerance and respect. I am sure in some things we may all be fixed and in some flexible So I could say my ideal match would share the wish to jump off a mountain in a paraglider or do an eskimo roll in the white waters of the Ardeche or just say lets do dinner...and talk! But I simply couldnt do it with a smoker, unless they really were giving up and were really wanting to give up and were really trying..emphasis on REALLY....not pretending...there you are in between courses and a really good bottle of wine, flowing in conversation.....and then ......"I must go out for a smoke" ....!!!
So my ideal match could be a variety of tick boxes, but they would probably be quite busy or active, in some way or another, be erudite/articulate in speech and expression and most likely to be able to hold a good conversation or maybe a challenging and constructive argument. And they would like some fun and adventure occasionally as well as a bit of culture, history, natural wildlife or geography/travel.
