In His Own Words
About him
The other day I asked a dear friend how he'd describe me, and he said, "You're very easy going, and a great listener... but you get very bored with idle chitter chatter." I take the last bit as a compliment!
For fun I adore watching popular romantic movies, plus independent and foreign films too.
I have a very extensive music collection. For example I adore 11:11 by Rufus Wainwright "I woke up this morning... I was alive"; and the lyrics to The Air That I Breathe by The Hollies take my breath away: the joy of the moment and the ability to create magic from next to nothing.
I enjoy the occasion page turner, but I spend most of my reading time gorging on books on psychology, brain science, motivation, and why I occasionally -- or not so occasionally -- act irrationally!
Not too long ago I attended 2 improv comedy courses in London, and 2 stand-up comedy courses as well. They were very challenging but a great laugh, and I got to deliver my comedy routine at 2 pubs in front of the public. I didn't bring the house down, but I didn't get any rotten cabbages thrown at me either!
Workwise, I have run my own businesses for the last 30 years. Nowadays I work from home, helping consultants, coaches, and trainers turn their knowledge into books and ebooks to self publish on Amazon, create online video courses and more. (I have published 25 non-fiction paperback books of my own.) I run webinar trainings every month, so I now know how to add more humour! I find it tremendously rewarding to help these people be more successful and fulfilled.
I eat healthily and keep myself reasonably fit: I do a parkrun on Saturdays and I did my first half marathon just before lockdown last year. I used to be a vegetarian and was even vegan for a while but I now focus more on generally eating well. I've dabbled with T'ai Chi and I did ballroom dancing and Latin American dancing for a few years.
I have 2 sons, 22 and 19. I adore them both: we're very close.

About his ideal match
If you see life as an adventure... if you like (and laugh at) yourself... if you love deep and meaningful conversations... and if, like me, you're looking for a new best friend who will occasionally make you laugh until you ache, then do get in touch.
