In His Own Words

About him

I know this site can work. I have enjoyed a couple of fulfilling relationships over the years. For the most part though, there is a problem. The elephant in the room is one of honesty, both sides of the gender divide. People are not what they say they are. I can’t absolve myself from culpability here, (‘I have no baggage’ - as if that’s possible in 40 plus years as an adult!). I’ve acknowleged that I’ve put on weight as well.
On the female side, way too many fibs about age and body size/shape. In many cases, its not just a year shaved off here and there, either. In fact these are more than fibs, they are deceptions and waste time.

Me: I’ve written a novel and am trying to find a publisher. I enjoy going to theatre and cinema, not just saying that for effect! I very much enjoy drinking good wine and eating out! Before you ask, I can cook - 6 dishes only though. I am interested in politics and world events but I am not allied to any particular brand or ideology. Ergo, I think Brexit is a nightmare, but the EU is crap and going backwards. I am happy in my own company and I have good friends when I need them. I am not on this site to make new friends.

Some basic facts: I took early retirement 8 years ago from a career in Government and I freelance as an interpersonal skills, interviewing and lie detection trainer - my background is in psychology. However, this venture is not the be all and end all in my life.

What am I good at? I am an intelligent man and can talk about anything and everything. I mix well and get on with people. I am a mine of information, (much of it useless!) related to history, geography, astronomy, performing arts and sport.

What am I bad at? I can be impatient and don’t cut people as much slack as I should. I am unforgiving and harsh on people who cling to wholly irrational belief systems. Fairy stories of the type that organised religion propagate (‘Believe in my God, or you’ll go to hell for eternity’) and unproven magic/miracle cures irriitate the you know what out of me!

About his ideal match

Someone who is still optimistic about what life has to offer. As I said earlier, we all have baggage, but I am drawn to those who can acknowledge this and move on. I like intelligent people who venture and challenge opinions, but are not afraid to change their minds when the facts change.

As I've grown older, I have come to understand that I am much happier with people who are emotionally grounded in the real, rational world. Therefore, I struggle to connect with those who are attracted to conspiracy theories, horoscope devotees or espouse homeopathy etc. This doesn't mean that I am an unfeeling nerd or that I'm not romantic, but I value straight talking and reason over bluster and raw emotion. Yes, this is a bit of a Marmite moment, but I strongly believe that transparency and candour is the best policy.

One last point which may seem trivial. Can someone explain to me why so many photos with sunglasses?? The idea of covering up the single most important physical feature seems perverse!
