In His Own Words
About him
Like Jack Nicholson I am literate with hidden depths, including a heart of gold. Unlike him I am not OCD and misanthropic. I am aware that there are two responses to his question about whether it is "as good as it gets?" One is negative, that it is not good and could be better; the other is much more positive, that, all things considered, it is not at all bad, and actually quite good.
Online dating encourages the former response, and is rather judgmental and prone to fault finding. I would like to invite readers of my profile to give me the benefit of the doubt and I will return the favour,
I am the sort of chap who uses the word chap and who enjoys footnotes and marginalia, and have more literary projects than can ever be completed in a single lifetime. Unfortunately nobody knows about them and, though I don't particularly need someone to share them with me, I would like to find a good listener who won't dismiss them outright.
I have been professionally empathic, but may now be a bit rusty, though if you take a shine to me I will radiate in return. I think I am worth the trouble of your getting to know me, though it might take some determination to penetrate my eccentric posh exterior. I do not take photographs of myself so trot out the old favourite blue shirt picture but will take selfies if pressed.
About his ideal match
I would like to attract a literate and articulate book lover who does not always want to be running in the rain but who can enjoy a stroll or even a ramble.
I am a rather romantic and tactile person, given half a chance, and am prone to weep tears of ecstasy when moved by music. poetry, ideas, birdsong and land-sea-scapes, and especially by being with someone special. Ideally you might care to emote in harmony.
I am not particularly excited by the company of dogs or young children so, whereas I might well be be enthralled by your figure, I am unlikely to enjoy being enticed into in the bosom of your family.
