In His Own Words
About him
TARZIPAN: Tarzan, a sarcastic nickname from a PE teacher; Marzipan - soft, sweet and malleable; So, 'Out of the Strong came forth Sweetness'.
Hmm - 'O wad some pow'r the giftie gie us to see Oursels as Ithers see us.
Generally women don’t find me dashingly handsome; but ‘Interesting/Not Boring’, so I live with that.
I’m hopeless at first contacts; but I’m OK at parties/Do’s and can usually get other people talking.
I’ve worked hard, played hard and loved well; so I’ve reached that point of ‘no regrets of things not done’; now, with a bit of luck, I might not get what I want, but if I try, I might just get what I need.
I'd still like to do cruises; maybe adventure holidays; see more bits of Britain; Lounge on a hot beach with Pina Coladas, walk barefoot on the sand, hand in hand.
But if these don't happen, then sitting in my summer house with a bottle of red, watching the sun go down will do.
My ‘Hobbies’ were DIY & Gardening and I have dabbled with Art Lessons.
I have just downsized from a huge mountain of a garden (an acre of land on a one in three hill) to a small bungalow with flat gardens in a lovely rustic village that echoes the 1950's way of life.
I’ve travelled very well; at 21 hitch hiking to Trieste, and at 22 worked in the U.S. and travelled into Canada and down to Mexico.
‘MY TIME’ began in 2002 with 3 holidays in one year - San Diego, Vietnam and then Concorde to New York with the girlfriend at the time. In 2004 I took up Scuba Diving in Borneo and have done many iconic dive places on this amazing planet. Ticked off 'Climbing to the King's Chamber in the Grt Pyramid at Giza', 'Machu Picchu', 'Angkor Wat', 'Grt Barrier Reef'; so, bucket list is OK.
I feel I’m fitter than most my age, everything works, EXCEPT, my eyes are no longer good enough to drive safely and that is a real barrier to dating.
I'm happy with my own company and not sure that I'm looking for a live in partner, unless I fall hopelessly in love - again. But a friend to share time with, or maybe holidays, would be really nice.
About his ideal match
Someone who still wants to live life to the full.
If your idea of a good day is sitting reading, then I’m probably not the man for you, If you like to relax in the evenings watching television, with a glass of Red and chocolates, snuggled up, that's OK..
Most people like dining out so that shouldn’t be an issue except for me not driving.
A sense of adventure and/or a love of holidays is a big bonus and I’m happy to fund them if necessary, while the funds last (they should see me out).
I suppose like most of us, I would like to meet someone that I really look forward to seeing again.
