In His Own Words
About him
I'm interested in people and their backgrounds, irrespective of class, race, or education. Most people have stories to tell and listening to them can often create a bond of some sort, temporary or otherwise. I am not a passive listener, and empathy's there.
Work and leisure has taken me travelling in Africa, the USA and Europe. Curiousity and energy has resulted in a wide range of interests and new ones still arise.
Occuring descriptions of me are funny (funny ha-ha as opposed to..), intelligent, creative, encouraging, perceptive, capable, openess, warmth, big nosed, and dyslexic; apart from the big nose I guess they're pretty near the mark. Rules and regulations are not my bag although in the main I behave myself. Not self opinionated just make my own path.
Brought up on a farm I worked on one for 8 years. As a result a connection and concern for the land, organic food and the countryside are inbuilt. That said, the excitement of the city and being amongst people energises me. I studied Agriculture, lectured and later turned to marketing. The previous 12 years have been spent creating an online Company and it works well. It's portable of course. Until recently voluntary work took me back to Africa and London. Two daughters aside and day to day stuff, fitness, friendships, learning a language and meeting sparky women is becoming a focus.
About his ideal match
I'd like to be with a tactile 'down to earth' partner' who is independent of thought and comes to laughter easily. An accepting, pragmatic approach to the relationship build would be wonderful. Someone who intuits when to compromise for the sake of the relationship and equally promotes her own view point would be valued and respected. You might enjoy skinny dipping together, the warmth of the sun and each other, the beauty of nature, flora and fauna, outdoor love, history, cultures, design, business, art, film, politics, wine, food and discussion. You might not!
