In His Own Words
About him
I'm an intelligent, honest, friendly (I've been told I'm very easy to converse with, one-to-one), tolerant, loyal & supportive man, committed, trustworthy, with GSH, who can also be quite shy at times. In a group, I tend to be very quiet. I like music, reading, nice food & drink, eating out, visiting places, cinema, DVDs & watching some sport - snooker, tennis, golf, test cricket etc. I don't like clubs/partying etc. I live alone in a house which I own.
I'm a man who'd never deliberately hurt somebody & I listen carefully to understand a woman's needs & wants. If men were pieces of chocolate ready for a woman to select, I'd be one with a soft centre.
I can't claim to be a widely-travelled person (although that doesn't mean I've never been abroad!) It's certainly not because I'd never want to be, but just that my general lifestyle - which has always tended to be more home-based - has never really taken me in that direction.
I have a real aversion to cats & dogs. Therefore, unfortunately somebody with any of those as pets, isn't going to be suitable. But I believe I'm generally a fairly emotionally well-balanced, rational person. Although I'll certainly listen to my heart, I'm more naturally 'ruled' by my head. I'm very reserved & quite a deep thinker. As for my general outlook on life, I mainly lean towards moderate/pragmatism. I'm someone who is what it says on the tin (& in any situation), but to really get to know me & see me at my best, you need to be prepared to spend time alone in my company. I'm an introvert, who doesn't show much out in public - especially in emotional terms. You'd be welcome to go inside me privately & explore. I think I'm quite an interesting person.
I am a non-driver. I am retired (early) & with some spare time on my hands, have written twelve books.
About his ideal match
A tall woman, who'll hopefully share some of my interests and might have one or two that she'd like to introduce me to also. I can be shy socially, therefore a woman who will make me feel at ease in such situations. Maybe who'd like to take me away with her and show me the world. A woman who's pleased in her femininity and appearance, but doesn't necessarily want or expect a man to be the alpha-dominant type. She'd likely be assertive, decisive & confident, as well as caring and hopefully warm & affectionate. I'll never be a leader and am looking for a relationship with sharing at its core.
Should a woman be prepared to take a chance and come to me, then I'm sure she'd find that in my own quiet and very loyal way, there's a lot in me that could make her happy. That's what I'd give to her from me. And I'll put as much commitment into the relationship as her.
Ideally somebody living in or around the Bristol area - though if someone was further away and we felt really right for each other, then I'd consider that.
