In His Own Words
About him
I am friendly and approachable with a good sense of humour and some fairly strong opinions! A good friend has described me as "affectionate, sensual, sensitive, tactile, supportive and loyal."
I'm a night owl, but by day I love to get out in the country, on the Downs or by the sea, then relax together in the evening with a G&T or glass of wine.
I like all sorts of music except pop. I try to keep fit by exercise, cycling and walking. I previously volunteered in a search and rescue team but now for the National Coastwatch and my local first responder team. I am interested in current affairs. I feel strongly that we only have one life and we should make the most of it, with friendship and laughter shared with others. The close-up and uniform pictures are recent, the paragliding and DJ ones a few years ago.
About his ideal match
Personality is the most important feature, although looks can be a factor. I love strong, intelligent women. I would like to share country and seaside walks, cycling, cinema and most of all, good conversation and laughter. I could not go for a smoker or anyone strongly religious.
