In His Own Words
About him
Contact me if you are looking for someone who’s uncomplicated and an open communicator. I have a wide range of adventure, cultural, and sporting interests. I am low maintenance, enjoying health cooking, and even ironing. I need to be appreciated, loved, and listened to (while you would be free to disagree with me). I am passionate about work, and thrive in a creative and challenging environment, getting things done. I enjoy providing leadership, yet without dominating. I am appreciative, loving, and tactile.
I will always laugh with you, defend your interests, and fight your corner (if you want me to). I have travelled and lived all over the World, so know its rich potential as well as pitfalls. I would help your children to be the best versions of themselves, as you will my three (if you don’t have kids, that’s fine, so long as you connect with youngsters).
I care about our World, and society, fear that we are altogether in several ways going in a dangerous direction, and try to do my small part make it a better place.
About his ideal match
My ideal match would be educated with a World view. Generous and open hearted. Healthy lifestyle. Gregarious. Passionate. Courageous. Caring and considerate.
Together, we must have:
1. Mutual attraction, chemistry, lightning E=MC2
2. Effortless mental connection, ability to talk openly about any subject, best friendship
3. An unconditional partnership, stand together to solve life’s challenges, and enjoy life’s opportunities, I am “intense” when needed, and feel that is necessary to make the best of situations. We should both have that drive, while knowing when to kick back and relax
I am ultimately looking for a long-term relationship. I’ve recovered from the heartbreak of divorce (which obviously caused her and the kids pain too). For the next serious relationship, we must both be confident it’s a great match. We must be patient in dating, open with each other, and not afraid to push boundaries to discover each other’s core personality. The gems, as well as the parts which need a little support and TLC.
What His Friends Say

Ben's a unique blend of profound decency and fun-seeking adventurer - firm foundations and a seeking spirit. I've known him for 40 years, and he's consistently......Ben. Determined and motivated, he'll respond well to a kind, independent partner and between you you'll be able to take on the world. I'd not hesitate to embark on any adventure with Ben: he's a man of courage and integrity, with an ability to solve problems and bring humour and nuanced understanding to challenging times. This is a golden opportunity for a partner of the right stuff to be part of an unstoppable team!
