In His Own Words
About him
Paradoxically, an ex-Life model with no photo; I carefully manage on-line exposure. Perhaps walking into an exhibition to find 20 copies of my groin 10x life size all over the walls was just too much. Still, usual features, usual places, people flirt at times and they rarely scream.
I am supportive, bright, honest, principled, generally easy-going, optimistic, humorous. I love literature, poetry, music, growth. Passionate in the right context and with the right person, my past includes research, teaching, writing, business and charity roles.
I trained in massage and I'm tactile but not clingy. I cared for a very unwell partner for years and recently I have been working with homeless people. Friends say I am very bright and both simple and complex. I think I'm simple and life is sometimes complex.
Many likes - especially books, animals and people. Dying to explore Cretan ruins sometime. I prefer roast lamb to steak, walking and cycling to driving, old books to e-readers, candlelight to LEDs.
For fun - people, dinner parties, travelling, fixing things, helping people. I can be quite hedonistic too. I like travel (not tacky tourism), camping, picnics, good food, humour, intimacy. Happiest in the sun by the sea. Unhappiest in a hot concrete city centre or talking to estate agents. More coast and 70s VW camper than dinner jacket and pretentious restaurants. Sometimes witty, funny and thoughtful, sometimes just a hairy caveman, I can do the daftest things. Such as setting fire to a menu by reading it over a candle - about right for me I am afraid!
About his ideal match
Calm, warm, loving, caring, sensual, genuine. Eccentric is fine - the centre is remarkably dull and crowded - but grounded. Honesty and openness are vital. An enquiring mind, a sense of humour, a heart. Lovely eyes and a loving soul. See? I'm easy to please.
My ideal is relaxed, but rolls up her sleeves and does things when needed, looks lovely in candlelight and won't collapse if she sees a mouse. You think for yourself, have your own opinions. We can talk, you challenge me and don't pretend to be perfect or super-happy when not. Being drop-dead gorgeous and kinky fun is great but not top of the list. If you like Shakespeare and sunshine, so much the better.
Adversity develops character. I find that people I like and relate to usually have had to deal with painful things. It's not an ideal, but it seems to be a pattern. I guess I like things real and faux happiness cuts no ice. Like cheesecake - I'll go a long way for the real deal but bland copies leave me cold.
What would make the relationship work? Whatever it is, from barely nodding to life partners - realistic expectations, common goals, good priorities. Honesty, openness, equality, good faith. Humour. I loathe fake anything; we should mingle naturally, not collide like trucks.
I am actually interested in people, so a big heart, a genuine desire to grow, learn together, talk, share - just be yourself; I am looking for a person, not a reality-TV act. Besides, I am genuinely pretty unshockable, so why hide?
