In His Own Words
About him
Easygoing, intelligent, well read, and happy to talk about anything and everything. I believe in fairness and justice, and am happy to represent others less fortunate than me. Although notionally retired, I use some of my free time doing this, and also training younger professional colleagues. I also do academic research. Happily most of this can be done from anywhere, so I am now getting back into hill walking and trips abroad. I can adapt to most social situations, but these days I prefer cooking dinner for a small number of friends rather than a party. In the summer the conservatory and the garden double up as the dining-room!
About his ideal match
Someone who is honest and open and willing to talk through issues. We all need to compromise - did the people we fall in love with before tick every box? There are five key things for me. They are kindness to others (and to animals), honesty, intelligence, and a sense of humour - particularly the ability to laugh at yourself. The willingness and ability to go travelling is also important as there are lots of places still on my bucket list. Like all of us my plans have been affected by Covid-19 in recent years! The few negatives are shown on my profile.
If those five key things resonate with you and you think we might get on, I’d love to hear from you.
A key thing we all must get used to on these sites is the fact that only a small proportion of the people in our age/distance ranges are ever going to look at our profiles. If we are unrealistic about those things we won't even turn up in their searches! Whether someone does look at the full profile will usually depend on the snapshot which comes up in the searches.
I suspect that the lead photo on the display will be the main factor for many – so no photo or an obviously old photo or one so swathed in sunglasses hats and scarves that we can’t see who you are, will make viewers swipe by. Use of ambiguous words, spelling mistakes and so on in the profile headline may also have the same effect. And of course if we don't look at your profile, we are unlikely to be sending you a message...
