In His Own Words
About him
Contented but not complete. Looking for a loving, fun, intelligent lady! Having re-emigrated to my home country I am part foreigner. Born in Devon and just having lived 5 years in Dorset I have loved both ends of the Jurassic coast. Fun loving former CEO and management consultant enjoying retirement. A long term exclusive relationship would make me complete. Previous five years were in West Yorkshire. Loved it, the Dales and the Lake District but life called. Lived in the Netherlands for very many years and in some ways more Dutch than English. Have also lived in the US, Germany and worked in US, EU and South America. Board experience in financial services, film/music/broadcasting, entertainment/sport, construction and project management.
Have a well-balanced educated view on most of life and the people in it oriented towards fun and humour whenever possible... and sometimes even when not (but responsibly)! Open minded and welcoming on cultures and nationalities. Can have crazy sense of humour. Strong sense of justice and honesty with sensitivity. Know some of life's pain and disappointments but always survive. Dependable, adaptable, loyal and a good friend. Love very strongly and love being loved back. Make contact and mix easily at all levels. Full of hugs even for newcomers! Empathic, analytical and communicative. Love music, movies, sport, outside, walking, eating/drinking and fun. I am a loving person with interest, motivation and the time for us to complement each other. Not excessively travel oriented since I have already had my share. But top-ups could appeal. If this attracts then please get in touch!
About his ideal match
Should I fall in love with you?
You may be confident, thoughtful, trustworthy, sensitive, loving and fun. Zany now and again? Attractive...physically, emotionally, financially sound. Preferably well educated and possibly with professional experience. Other than that not prescriptive! Dying to meet the right lady looking for fun, security and kindness.
The most favoured and photo number 4 is July 2014. Numbers 1,6, 7and 9 are August 2018. The two of my books in my old house (2012) before downsizing.
Hope your photos are of you and recent. Been disappointed a number of times at meeting someone's mother!
Allergic to cats.
