In His Own Words
About him
This my third edition. Having read my depressing previous profiles I now know why I have been ignored. Am widowed but certainly not in a sob fest mood. Trying to move on but finding it more difficult than I'd thought not through grief just looking for a special lady which isn't so easy when one...matures...is it ladies? Want to move on and replace missing years of lack of all the wonderful things one associates with a good relationship. Misery over. I know that many people out there are in or have been in a similar position. Have had too much sympathy over years but a little TLC would be welcome.
Have asked friends and acquaintances (both sexes) to describe me honestly. Overwhelming response was "Great sense of humour- very witty, whimsical, tongue in cheek, outrageously non PC, saucy (but never vulgar).Honest and decent. Great company. A man's man. A loyal friend"
When my female friends were asked how old I looked the consensus was about 58 (so pleased) but with the spirit and vitality of a 40 year old. Naturally fit once I was told. Much latent energy but somewhat lacking over last few years.
Likes- Some golf, some reading, some good wine and food, physical activity (neglected recently so need an impetus to resume former sports), good company. Warmth and sincerity. Dog walking. Upbeat music-even back to the 50's. Trying to jive around kitchen! Open to all suggestions
Can be serious and deep thinking/analytical when necessary- eg serious issues to deal with.
Would love to spend more time abroad-say a couple of months in France in our winter (adore their lifestyle and always looking to improve neglected limited French speaking ability) or a few weeks somewhere hot. Not very good at organising such things. A bit non teccy. Make that VERY!
Dislikes?. None spring to mind. Dullness in people perhaps. Lack of sense of fun and irony.
A real man seeking a real woman sums me up.
About his ideal match
Someone who is vivacious, fun loving with a wonderful sense of humour and banter. Someone who can "give it" (loving teasing) back to me. A genuine , warm smile.
Someone with whom I would be proud to have "on my arm" at a dinner and dance for example.
Someone who has their own hobbies and interests. Maybe joint interests-very important in a relationship I believe. Probably too old for a clinging teenage romance....or probably not when I come to think of it
A lady with some class and elegance.
