In His Own Words
About him
Now fully retired after more than a decade as a self-employed, part-time business consultant and full-time single father.
Highly intelligent, kind, honest, caring, happy, polite, with a dry sense of humour, but prone to see the silliness in life around me.
Likes reading, dining out, entertaining, quiet nights in the pub with a mate, traveling (3 times round the world so far), cinema, concerts (classical or rock), Italy and all things Italian, France (except Parisians), pottering (I could potter for England), reading the paper in a café, poring over maps, Only Connect, proper food red wine, Champagne, raspberries, quizzes, puzzles, and hugs.
Dislikes dating, opera, skiing.
About his ideal match
If you are intelligent, even a bit geeky, lovable, affectionate, happy, witty, easy going, then that covers most of the bases. Someone who values intelligence over sporting prowess; who likes quirky and eccentric over staid and conforming, spontaneity over rigid organization.
And if you hate txt spk and emoticons, and are annoyed by bad syntax and punctuation, then that's a bonus.
Brexiteers, right wingers, antivaxxers should probably look elsewhere.
