In His Own Words
About him
Novel this way....
I'm tall, happy, optimistic, full of life & curiosity, recently fully retired (Chemistry lecturer), and fully house trained.
Just arrived in Newport, S Wales (? 🤣 Read on...)
My photos (bar 2) are recent & my age is accurate, I've a strong independent streak but, I'm missing a significant heart shaped piece, so seeking similar to explore with & cuddle 😋
I love new things, my two gorgeous daughters, their and other good company, food, drink, music, theatre, science, sport.....
My main photo is from Llyn Cau/Cadair Idris ('23); Baby me ('59); Peruvian Andes (old now, 2015); Thoughts; on the bike ('24); Qatar (16-18); Egypt ('18-22)
I love life, love love, physical and emotional intimacy, humour, people, a chance encounter, a great conversation, a romance, love, who knows. They're all good! I think life is lived in relation to others, so sharing all the big and the small stuff with someone who sees life similarly has got to be the goal.
We all have defined interests, habits, and routines - and probably 80-85% need to be shared to really work. Key is the ability to try new things (at least once!), be flexible enough to accept and accommodate someone new, listen and, talk when things are not going well.
Intrigued, well I'd love to hear from you. I'm in no great rush, that said, I'd rather meet someone with the confidence to move things on - especially as email is a lousy form of communication, missing the vital eyes and body language. Thereafter, talk over a drink, see if we have that elusive 'Chemistry' then, meet again, and again and grow from there! Life is much more about the journey, not the destination
PS 'BikeSwimNotRun' you ask?:
Knackered knees (left replaced, 2019), from a life far too well spent, leaves me unable to run (even dancing is limited to CEROC), cycling and swimming.
PPS Oxfam stewarding last summer. Loved Shambala, enjoyed Latitude and was bored by Boomtown.
About his ideal match
** VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: Nov to Feb'25: On the road clockwise around the UK in my caravan, friend hopping 😎.
Now in Newport, Wales> N Wales> Nottingham (Xmas🎄)> Lake District (New Year🍻)> Moffatt; & more .......... hoping to find somewhere to relocate to in retirement - NT card, OSM maps, boots and bike in tow **
I'm attracted to certain female physical and personality types and I hope to 'see' yours in words and pictures (at least one should be no more than 1-2 years old). These apps present us like commodities in a shop, and it's hard not to act that way - with that mind your first picture must, surely, be 'you'.
- I'm not a gardener but OK at DIY;
- I dislike clutter;
- The UK will keep me more than entertained enough;
- Not a lover of too much, if any, makeup;
- Time is now to put aside personal wishes and take The Earth seriously so, at present, 'casual/regular' airplane use is out;
- Left/centrist views.
- I'm an omnivore, and;
- I will not view or respond without a picture upfront (yep, I know, a very shallow physical first hurdle!);
Honesty a given and you love physical intimacy, love the whole idea of love...?
Beyond that I don't have a tick list (🤣, he says!): the people I've met, and had/have a great relationship and friendship with are hugely diverse and many remain friends.
But I guess I'm drawn to the confident, engaged, intelligent, assertive, happy, active, sorted, shapely and/or athletic types (even though I have a few extra pounds that I'm losing slowly). I love long athletic legs/calves, a woman with curves to hug, a willing hand to hold, a warm natural smile, and those who love life and getting the most out of it.
Wit, warmth, physical confidence would be ideal - certainly confident enough to share accurate, untweaked, pictures to compliment their words, not show who they aspire to be.
