In His Own Words
About him
I'm a fit, out going, active and socially confident guy who is looking for a lady with similar qualities. I enjoy making people laugh and generally having fun. I like lively conversation but I'm also a pretty good listener. I love long extended lunches, the sun on my back, intimate moments and good company.
I'm a retired military engineer who has traveled the world, yet there is so much I have yet to do and see. I attend the gym twice a week, play golf three times a week, fairly light on my feet when ballroom dancing, and can boogie with the best!. I'm quite adventurous and enjoy those spur of the moment decisions that push my boundaries. I'm not a huge fan of pets, they require more of your time than children, but I know others are, so I do try! Like many on here, I love to travel, especially if accompanied by an enthusiastic companion. I have recently discovered South Africa, a place of so many contradictions, but I would love to go back.
In the winter I like to ski and look forward to the prospect of sharing laughter on the slopes and a cosy log fire in an intimate chalet half way up a mountain for afters. Summer fare includes sailing round the Greek Islands (I have my Day Skipper's Licence, co-own a 46 ft yacht and recently completed a 750 mile expedition around the Canary Islands) and soaking up the rays! I'm a tactile sort of guy, not frightened of showing affection wherever I feel it! I'm comfortable in jeans or black tie. I retain membership of a club in Piccadilly which is ideal for overnight stays in London, and hosts really friendly social and gastronomic occasions. It's impressive and I love it.
About his ideal match
This is the difficult bit! I've never found a particular stereotype more attractive than the rest and I would hate to be prescriptive. I think a lady who knows her own mind and who is confident and fun to be with is a good place to start. Someone sexy, who takes pride in her appearance, who is not frightened to take the lead occasionally and who is comfortable attending both formal gatherings or more intimate, informal affairs. Someone who likes to make things happen rather than just go along for the ride. If you are socially sporty that would be nice, but not essential and if you play golf, perhaps you can help me with mine! Basically, I'm looking for that indefinable something that I know I will recognize when I see it and I hope it comes with a ready smile and a twinkle in the eyes!
