In His Own Words
About him
I guess you liked my profile photo so herewith my on-line dating 'pen picture':
I would like to find a relationship which can develop into something deeper with a shared outlook and a genuine and loving friendship.
I like to think I am smart, fun, authentic and affectionate and like to try new things. I work hard but try and balance my professional and personal life so as to have fun and enjoy life's adventures. I am very well educated and read, with a focus on philosophy, history, and the arts. I am curious about almost everything and have a passion for food and cooking. I enjoy travel along with staying fit. I am athletic, enjoy working out, and a variety of sports, especially swimming and boogie boarding. I also love walking and road biking.
My home is in Bath. I work in Project Management in the area of large complex maritime vessels. My early career was quite adventurous; I was a professional mariner (marine engineer), spending equal times at sea and shore side over a 20 year period. I developed a second career in the private sector and have recently returned from a 3 year role in Australia as a senior executive in a global maritime engineering company.
About his ideal match
Clearly there will have to be physical attraction. The next filter is chemistry which will, I guess, involve meeting one another to ascertain whether it is there?
The things I look for and value in a partner are;
Fun, compassion and kindness, intelligence, thinks for herself and speaks her mind with a well developed communication style, and is smart and healthy. She is happy either grabbing dinner, going away for the weekend or just staying in and reading a good book and having some lively discussions.
Intelligence and kindness are high on my list. My ideal companion will be fun and caring, interesting and interested, well-educated, articulate, attractive and competent. Tolerance, a liberal outlook and zest for lifelong learning and excelling are all important to me. Shared sports and interests are important too, with a love of the countryside, long walks, the seaside, water sports, mountains, philosophy, attending book festivals, exploring cities, art galleries and good food. Food, and especially cooking, is a big passion of mine.
I hope my thinking and outlook chimes with yours and you like both the look and sound of me. If so I would be delighted to hear from you?
