In His Own Words
About him
I'm tall, happy, optimistic, full of life curiosity, recently retired and fully house trained.
All photos from '25 & I was 66 in June. I've a strong independent streak but missing a significant, attractively similar, yet different, heart enhancing piece to explore life with 😉😘
I love new things, my two gorgeous daughters, good company, food, drink, music, theatre, science, sport (Athletics, F1, Rugby Union), BBC6Music .....
I love life, physical and emotional intimacy, humour, people, a chance encounter, a great conversation, a romance, love, who knows.
What does being loved (& loving) mean, well, it's being valued, respected, prioritised, desired, heard, understood and supported.
We all have evolved interests, habits, and routines - and probably 80-85% need to be shared to really work. But, still, key is the ability to try new things (at least once!), be flexible enough to accept and accommodate someone new, listen and talk if, and when, things are not going well.
Intrigued, well I'd love to hear from you. I'm in no great rush, that said, I'd rather meet someone with the confidence to move things on - especially as email is a lousy form of communication, missing the vital eyes and body language. Thereafter, talk over a drink, see if we have that elusive 'Chemistry' then, meet again, and again, growing together from there! Life is much more about the journey than the destination.
I prefer live music but not most festivals oh, and I'm a bit of a coffee snob. 😂
I moved to Cumbria in May '25, so I'm still finding my feet but loving the choice. Joined the RNLI & excitedly exploring the open roads, mountains, lakes & coastline, whilst enjoying my passions of cycling, walking the odd swim and, at times, just watching the world go by.
A caravanner, animal lover, dancer and ..... lots more if given half a chance 😜😂
I'm just having a tattoo done of a dragon climbing over my left shoulder - in case that's not your thing!
About his ideal match
I'm drawn to the confident, engaged, happy, relaxed, sorted and, has embraced how life shapes and ages us. I love an active woman with hourglass curves to hug, a willing hand to hold, a warm natural smile, a team mate and, someone who loves life and getting the most out of it - mostly outdoors and most days.
Wit, warmth & physical confidence would be ideal - certainly confident enough to share accurate, untweaked, pictures to compliment their words - not showing who they (still) aspire to be.
That said, compromise around the edges of our core values is key so, if we pass the mutual chemistry 'test', it's all down to the person within us (oh and did I mention honesty - a given 🤔😉)
We're presented like commodities but such dating affords an opportunity to show the real 'us' in varied pictures and words, which I hope you'll share, as I have tried myself.
These may resonate:
- I will not view, or respond, without a public picture;
- I'm not a gardener but I'm a practical DIYer;
- I'm not a clutter personality;
- The UK is my travel focus (trying to be environmentally responsible 'ish' 😉);
- spelling, correct grammer and the absence of text speech, to me, shows you care & are serious about this!
- I'm not a lover of (too much 🤔😱😜) makeup. I mean, I'm not wearing any 😉;
- Left/centrist, 'Remain'er, jabbed to the hilt, not a fisherman or otherwise a hunter type, and;
- I'm an omnivore, but eat anything as unprocessed and preferably home crafted as possible.
Beyond that I don't have a tick list (🤣 he says 😂): the people I've met, and had/have a great relationship and friendship with are hugely diverse, and I still remain friends with many.
Do you enjoy Ceroc, Modern Jive, Salsa or maybe can join me explore a more classic style?
I've limited my search a bit but, I do accept that a match could be much further afield but, that would be difficult to sustain unless our days could be easily (ishly!) matched. 😘
