In His Own Words
About him
Well here we go...my sales pitch to the ladies out there. Grab a coffee as it's intentionally long so you learn lots about me.
With my son, after studying architecture, now living up in Edinburgh, it's finally "me time".
Educated and, I am told, well spoken. Although I hale from Norfolk (until my 20s) I have a neutral accent, which is probably due to education at a grammar school full of transient RAF children. Whilst here in Hampshire, for three decades, I regularly return to my roots, as I particularly like the North Norfolk coast.
Intelligent but not a Rocket Scientist, so can hold a decent conversation on most things, but perhaps not Football-did though enjoy watching the victorious Lionesses.
Although officially retired from City life, I am still working on a few "side hustles", including internet marketing, recently started publishing self help books and do some professional photography-mainly portraiture. Shall never fully retire, as I enjoy the stimulus of business too much. My online business activities could even be performed with a laptop on a poolside lounger in the Med or on a Tuscan veranda...so why hang up your boots?
Have often talked with my architect sister, about renovating a run down property in Europe-too much watching the TV series Amanda & Alan...anyone up for that?
Pastimes: love photography, cycling and walking to explore the countryside, watching movies, comedy shows, theatre, camping (but not obligatory for my partner) and singing to name but a few. Although have sung more formal music previously, I now sing with a local Rockchoir...a far cry from my past.
It's important to me that your photos are recent. Most of you own a smart phone so there's no excuse. Mine are 2024/25. Most recent from Aug 2025 at Stourhead and family group in North Norfolk. The formal shot with sister is Jan 2025 at son's wedding in India.
Footnote: No "ghosting" please. If you are into leaving people "high & dry", please pass me by. It's cruel behaviour and not that of a sincere person.
About his ideal match
Many would say they are committed to finding a lady that is beautiful, slim and fit. Yes, that might be nice but I would be equally delighted finding a lady of average build with perhaps a few curves, as there is more about a person than looks.
Hope you take pride in your appearance and like to dress up and dress down too. If you like wearing heels, I'm your man, even if you're tall,, as I'm around 6'2" depending on my own footwear...I should add I don't wear heels.
I would say I am more Country than City, although I like the occasional trip up to London for a cultural top up and theatre. I do love exploring foreign cities too and regularly explore them over a long weekend. Post lockdown, aside from trips to sunnier climes, I have been discovering cities in Eastern Europe which are all to often overlooked - Tallinn, Riga. Vilnius. Poznan, Krakov & Wroclaw - I'll excuse you if you reach for your atlas, as I did just a couple of years ago.
An educated lady, please...you don't need a Phd or university education in general, but simply a reasonable intelligence so that we can have a stimulating conversation.
Would love it if you have had a successful and interesting career, or perhaps are self employed, and with a bit of an entrepreneurial flair, although they are not deal breakers.
A couple of preferences Coffee over Tea; Night Owl(ish) over Early Riser.
I am a very romantic and tactile person. For me these are essential ingredients for a relationship to thrive. Intimacy is of major importance to me and hope it is for you too...it's not just about the immense pleasure but how it brings a couple so much closer.
