In His Own Words
About him
Thoughtful, independent, and thoroughly enjoying this stage of life.
I suspect my friends would describe me as honest, loyal, straightforward, sociable, and blessed with a positive outlook.
Strong moral standards have guided me well so far—and show no signs of retiring.
Mostly retired, post-graduate, and happily living on my own, I’m enjoying the rewards of hard work and a life well balanced between family, travel, interests, friends, and time to myself.
Meaningful conversation with interesting people is hard to resist—especially if it involves a walk, a long hike, or a gallery visit.
Theatre? It’s a yes.
Musicals? Hmm, maybe. Tell me more.
Cinema? Almost always yes if the film offers thoughtful reflections on human relationships.
Live music, concerts, gigs? Absolutely.
Cheesy pop? Hmm… let’s just say it’s not my cup of tea.
I’m emotionally settled, comfortable, and content with who I am. I enjoy an active life.
Keeping fit, art, photography, and fine food add layers of flavour—while motorcycles provide the extra spice.
Based in Essex, I enjoy spending time in East Anglia and around London.
I value connection, honesty, good conversation, curiosity, and a sense of humour that doesn’t take itself too seriously. I’m simply looking for the spark that brings it all together.
About his ideal match
I’m interested in meeting someone intelligent and self-contained who enjoys companionship and connection without pressure or expectations. Connection with a spark, relaxed, mutually respectful, and enjoyable — where time together makes life more meaningful and interesting.
I value discretion, kindness, and clear communication. I’m not in a hurry and prefer things to develop naturally.
