In His Own Words
About him
I am an ex IT practitioner now retired following a highly successful career as project manager/business analyst in the UK and mainland Europe. I have a maths degree, accounting qualification and various IT diplomas. I still enjoy IT and foreign languages and I speak a number of languages to varying degrees of fluency; am currently tackling Russian. In my youth I played most sports, some to a high standard including football (robust centre forward), cricket, athletics and cross country. I still enjoy running, weight training, playing pool, occasionally tennis and am a keen fan of boxing. Last year I started ballroom and Latin American dance classes. I enjoy holidays in the sun, red wine, good music (classical as well as pop) and winter nights in front of a coal fire. My friends and family regard me as introvert and at times over generous.
About his ideal match
My ideal match is someone who is attractive, loyal, affectionate, tactile and generous, and has sex appeal. A smart dresser (jeans included) who enjoys the good things in life including sunshine holidays, eating out, and good wine. An interest in sport and general fitness would be ok but not essential. Not too extroverted; a good listener who knows how to pamper her man and be pampered. A good cook would be a bonus!
