In His Own Words
About him
"Never leap-frog a unicorn." So my dad once told me. Advice to last a lifetime. He also told me to develop my chopsticks skills by practicing on crisps and - one to pass onto any nephews, gentle reader - always give it an extra shake if you want to avoid wet trousers.
But it was the question "when are you going to get yourself a woman?" that got me. True, he said it to his spinster neighbour who’d just come out. Even so, it started me thinking: my heart's a bargain, perhaps someone here would like to snap it up.
Some say I'm caring, inquisitive and sometimes funny; others say they broke the mould before they made me; still more that I look like Penfold from 'Dangermouse'. Even so, when I'm not slaving over a hot profile, I'm a theatre-goer, film-watcher and book-lover (by which I don't mean SAS thrillers, sports biogs and other lad lit).
I also like to keep fit and go to the gym, an activity that seems to be all pain and no gain. Unfortunately, what good I do is undone by eating out. (If you really are what you eat, my picture should be a ball of Mozzarella.)
About his ideal match
No older than me, ideally. And it'd be lovely if you're still intellectually curious, the sort of woman who could speculate over such weighty matters as where Noah put the woodpeckers in the Ark.
You'd also be intelligent, kind and honest plus mature enough to know what you want and can handle commitment. (I'm not getting any younger, so I'd rather avoid game players. Unless, of course, it's Connect 4 or Ker-Plunk.)
I know everyone at our time of life has baggage and it's fine if you have some too, just so long as it's a bum-bag, not a trunk. And to be fair, I probably won't hit it off with anyone who's not capable of laughing if she (or someone else) trips over, walks into a lamp post or accidentally opens a profanity-riddled computer file while the boss is standing behind her.
So if any of this is you, why not get in touch? You could be saving me from more of dad's advice!
