In His Own Words
About him
ME:- Long divorced, three offspring. Former RAF aircraft, and later computer technician. Well educated: top-stream grammar school; BA[OU], HNC, PGCE. 8yrs HE senior lecturer - electronic engineering. Free-thinking, Open/broad-minded. Easy-going. Self-effacing. Slightly unconventional & can be a bit quirky. Non_PC. Self-confident. Enjoy wordplay, humorous wit & wisdom. Delight in damsels displaying a deep & desirable décolletage. Like Times Radio, R4, humorous & serious TV. Can be rather reserved before fully knowing somebody.
INTERESTS:- Language/languages. Human history, nature & development. Natural history. Engineering/tech. Developing algorithms & testing them on my computer. Current affairs, politics(right-leaning). Varied, informed discussions. Voluntary work, for 12 yrs+ at disability service; also have sold poppies for many years. Exercise - often outdoors including hill & coastal trogging, leisure cycling; 16 mins (1mile) on rowing m/c every morning, + bits of fartlek most days. Travel all over, been around-the-world solo. Maps & geography. Visiting historic sites etc. Wordplay. Banter. Cryptic crosswords. Some of history. Puzzles. Quizzes. Rugby Union (but not football!). Aircraft. Real-ale, red wine. Music: Sixties, rock, baroque, military bands. Reading - quality press, non-fiction books & magazines; in short - all sorts!
SHORTCOMINGS:- Many! Delay acting on less-interesting tasks. Stuck with my status quo. OK with important, but difficulty with small-scale decisions. Can spend excessive time no random bits or reading newspapers. Largely ignorant of many aspects of culture: music, art, literature etc. A 'Dad dancer'! Can be pedantic, or over-serious on certain issues. Disproportionately interested in well-endowed ladies.
DISLIKES:- Dishonesty; malice, excessive parsimony; egocentric; boasting, self-importance; pretensions of grandeur; gross exaggeration; tattoos; western males' long hair; face/body piercings; shallow argument & conversation.
About his ideal match
The lady I seek would be vivacious, venturesome, voluptuous and versatile (but not vapid nor vacuous!) - alliteration can be a bit of fun too!
Whilst I hope to find a well-endowed lady; though I don’t wish to simply focus solely upon this and would especially hope she would have an appealing character and outlook on life. I trust she would be interested in ideas, topics, opinions and arguments for/against various issues; she would be cheerful, active, curious and perceptively enquiring, leading to the discussion of a range of topics as an informed participant. I hope we would both be happy to learn new ideas and perhaps unaccustomed activities, though it’s natural that we are all different with a divergent emphasis on many issues. Would also very much enjoy the company a special lady, to bond with and be considered by me for special attention. In particular, I would hope for a fellow pedaller (of bikes!) to keep me company on leisurely rides around the coasts and countryside.
I would envisage she would share a similar level of intelligence and range of life-experiences as myself, with the capacity and desire to reflect upon the many funny, bizarre events and people so frequently found in this often crazy world.
PLEASE NOTE: I shall respond only to genuine, personal replies, and not to one-click 'favourites' etc.
