In His Own Words
About him
Recently, I won a free pistachio ice from my local ice cream cafe, when (at the one and only attempt permitted) I Successfully threw the Cuddly Toy Cow right into the basketball hoop, from all the way back Behind The Sofa! Please be impressed at this primitive display of raw, physical prowess, and feel free to jump to positive conclusions regarding my potential as a Protector/Provider... ;)
I'm lively, sincere and laid-back - equally at home in white or black tie (no 'pre-tied' nonsense, neither!) or in my very piratical black leather trousers (best 'fess up to owning such straight away...). I rarely drink. Also. I've grown what I'm convinced is a very fine moustache since my pics were taken. I feel it rather resembles one of the voles who have their vole-holes in my college garden.
If I couldn't be an historian, I'd be a Ferocious Lion! I'd use my luxuriant mane to attract a sexy, slinky Lady Lioness who would roar and purr with me. I'd be a better Bloke than most male lions, however, and would do my fair share of bringing home delicious antelopes.
I had a happy childhood and, as an adult, have led a varied and interesting life. Work-wise, I thoroughly enjoyed both my years in the TA and my time as a 'roadie' for various rock bands, but not life as an Inland Revenue Decision Maker.
I do realise that I'm a Very Bad Man Indeed (think Tom Jones [the foundling, not the crooner {but faithful!}] meets Heathcliff [but with better taste in women] meets Sydney Carton [but without the alcoholism] meets Tom Kitten [but with no fear of rats]). But I think I must have *some* sort of Heart of Gold, and I honestly believe that, given the right sort of motivation (that's you, in case you fail to recognise the description), I'd almost certainly turn out to be a thoroughly wholesome chap. That is, if you're *absolutely* sure that's what you really want from me... ;)
I'm a Founding Subscriber to the Big Issue in Scotland.
About his ideal match
I think you're great! Besides the day job, you [would like to] lead a secret second life as a Notorious Highwaywoman, in which guise you ride side-saddle and wear a tricorn.
You're pretty, witty, well-spoken and good-humoured; shades of Sophie Western and Diana Vernon?
You do like Oxford, but aren't deferential. When we visit (stop press - I've recently moved north to write up my thesis) we might have ice cream, or a game of croquet in my beautiful college, or go for a walk along the river. When we find a good spot we'll sit down and you'll enjoy my reading to you (anything from Beatrix Potter to Macaulay's 'Radical War Song'), or seeing if I can recite something.
London dates might feature the British Library or the zoo (feeding time for the [r]otters or Tygrrs?).
*If* you've ticked 'assertiveness' as a turn-on, it's not because you're any kind of doormat. I delight in your spirit, and you know that any dominant/protective instincts I have arise from my deep desire and affection for you, which are rooted in sincere admiration and esteem. I love it when you indulge me, but if you laugh in my face from time to time, well, that's only healthy. You enjoy sincere compliments, but don't depend upon them: you're as sure of yourself in walking boots and mittens as in high heels and evening gloves.
If you've something to say to me, you might pick your words and your moment carefully, but you'll never be afraid to be honest with me, because you've no reason to be: you're my girl, and my girl gets what she wants.
[Yeah, I know, if I quit History and wrote for Mills and Boon then I might be able to keep you in the style you deserve...]
You're even so gracious as to forgive my having taken so long to find you [which is obviously all *my* fault - 'A man's place is in the wrong' and all that... ;) ]
