In His Own Words

About him

Introvert with a wry sense of humour, active mentally and physically, fairly cerebral guy who surprises himself by doing practical things tolerably well (ha, sometimes!) I always like to learn - about people, places, events, how things work, how to do it. I can be sociable in groups, prefer one-to-one, need alone time too. I learned young-ish to "perform" (public speaking / music / drama), which can surprise people who've only seen me being "normal". Hence accused of being a dark horse a few times. Also of being "surprisingly cuddly" ... both of which I like. Myers-Briggs INFJ. Virgo.

Depending on the hour of the week you might find me: tending tomatoes and cursing the slugs; cooking curry for my youngest after playing chess; cooking the books (erm, figure of speech!) for the local branch of a national charity; in waders pulling weed out of the drainage channels on the water-meadows; in walking boots on the near and not-so-near hills; singing in a chamber choir; reading economic history; or wasting my time in diverse ways on a computer.

Been through some changes lately (e.g. divorce, just retired) - all good in the end, even if slightly stressful en route. The dust has settled a bit and I realise I have a lot of opportunities now. It would be great to find someone to share in at least some of them. Miss having someone to talk to about the deep and meaningful, and complain to about the slugs, and a hand to hold, and maybe more if we fancy.

Worked at mid-senior level in management consultancy, academia, civil service and the NHS, ended my career in a draughty hall figuring out the logistics and finance for giving thousands of vaccines in a hurry. I still work (unpaid, very part-time) for a couple of local charities. Not ultra-lefty at all, but don't think "woke" should be an insult. My kids matter to me a lot, but they have their own lives now, as they should. Youngest is now off and I'm looking forward to lots more flexible time and more little adventures. Or maybe big adventures!

About his ideal match

"I'll know you when I meet you" is a bit unhelpful, but there is an element of chemistry that's hard to catch in words. My ideal match won't necessarily be just like me (shudder!) but some of the following would improve the odds:
- intelligent and broad-minded
- active, not necessarily super-sporty, e.g. owns walking boots
- into music in some way (probably classical, but hey, educate me please!)
- tactile, affectionate
- relaxed about social appearances
- curious about the world
- smiley

Deal-breakers? Raging narcissists, Reform UK voters and people who want to wean me off my morning coffee please prioritise other matches, it just won't work out for us.
