In His Own Words
About him
Warm, smart, playful & always up for a new discovery. Oxford-educated but utterly normal and humble. I’m well travelled and I enjoy skiing, golf & hiking. Most of my pictures are within the last year. I’m definitely young at heart if greying a tad!
I’ve lived abroad for c.4 years. Now semi-retired from a fun career as a Marketing Director. My widely published travel writing (skiing, golf, gastrofood) keeps me stimulated and very well fed! I hope to discover a few more of the unspoilt lands not yet seen. Travel is definitely better when shared with a fun loving, sassy lady.
What can you introduce me to in this crazy 21st Century world of ours?! I’m keen to keep learning. Intelligence trumps intellectualism every time. Hopefully you’ll have plenty of time for love & adventure as I’m no longer tied to full-time employment. Unlike most blokes, I’m in touch with my feelings and value a warm “cwtch”. I’m not in the slightest bit woke and yes, I do have a serious side occasionally!
I’m very loyal. I enjoy great coffee, sushi, road trips, gigs, cake, dry white wines from Austria & the Loire, and significant misbehaviour. Log fires & box sets really have their place too.
”Love Me - Love My Dog”! I have the most beautiful Welsh Springer Spaniel. If nothing else, you’ll very probably fall in love with him & enjoy his unbridled enthusiasm.
No endless texting. Let’s get that “frothy coffee” in asap. “Nothing ventured - Nothing gained.”
About his ideal match
Smart
Warm
Irreverent
Young minded
Solvent (nowadays equality is good)
An empty-nester (but mingling with the kids is cool)
Semi-retired / retired / downshifted ideally.
Active & inquisitive but able to chill out and snuggle up too.
I’ll never be a MAMIL - an e-bike tour, country ramble or a coastal sail is perfect.
Wanting to travel “off the beaten track” without totally slumming it. Winter sun is a must!
Someone who isn’t still living her life vicariously through the kids (my two sons are flown and live abroad).
If you were late having kids and they are still pre-Uni, I’m just not interested. Got that unappreciated T-shirt already!
Someone who genuinely wants & has the time for a quality relationship.
We are all looking for that elusive chemistry. Common values, shared dreams, an open mind and seeing the funny side of life go a long way to finding our soulmate.
We all know digital dating is pretty darn awful & punitive. But you’ve got to be “in it to win it” and most agree it’s a numbers game. Let’s attempt to adopt some decent values of old, if at all possible. I’m infrequently checking this site however.
BTW I’m just not a massive lover of cats (in fact I detest the pointless creatures) or excessive tatts. Why ruin your beauty? Sugarbabies need not apply either.
NB This isn’t a self-validation exercise or a texting channel for those lonely hours at weekends, when the girlfriends, kids & coupled friends are busy or granny isn’t needed.
This needs to be a reasonable priority for you - not just a form of gentle ego massaging or phone addiction please!
