In His Own Words
About him
You know how the guy who gets the girl is always the self-centred, arrogant, nasty piece of work? And women always claim that they want a nice guy, but then pick the nasty piece of work anyway? Well… I’m the nice guy who’s always overlooked.
I genuinely have no ‘red flags’ other than inexperience and not being much to look at physically. People have said that I’m ‘honest to a fault’, ‘wise’, ‘authentic’, ‘the nicest person I’ve ever known’ (really), that I have a ‘wicked sense of humour’, that I ‘exude goodness’(!) and that I’m ‘intelligent, with a very analytical approach’. I can sometimes be too forthright for my own good, but I’m always truthful and I stand by my principles. I may have a strong Yorkshire accent, but I’m well spoken, polite, articulate and an excellent communicator.
Interests? Well, I’m a very well balanced person: as much a scientist as an artist. On the artistic side, music – especially classical music – has been a big element in my life, both as a hobby and as work, and I’m a good writer and designer. On the more scientific end of the scale I’m very interested in computers and technology. My work and hobbies both seem to involve the overlap between these areas. I have separate degrees in music, maths and history. My main hobby that involves other people is choral singing, and I’m a member of a famous choir.
I’m really not very interested in sports, though, and I especially loathe football! I like the finer things in life, particularly high quality food. I’m a big film fan and will watch almost anything, though I do have a penchant for sci-fi. I enjoy travel and photography, though I’m currently hampered by being the full-time carer for my elderly parents, who now need a lot from me.
Politically I’m a typical Telegraph reader: right-wing, Brexiteer, now a strong Reform supporter (I’m a great admirer of Farage), a believer in a meritocracy and profoundly anti-woke.
About his ideal match
I’m looking for someone who shares my basic views and outlook, because compatibility is what it’s all about! Politically we should be on the same page, and I’m looking for someone with whom I can do things, share interests and experiences and have intelligent conversation. At least some level of enjoyment of classical music is also important as this is a significant part of my life.
I’m fairly old-fashioned and traditional in many ways, and I’d hope to find someone who’s quite feminine and who both looks and dresses like a woman. The person inside is all that really matters, but good presentation does help!
I do strongly dislike both tattoos and piercings. I’ll tolerate a single tasteful pair of earrings, but I’m afraid that I find anything much more than that quite off-putting.
I quite like chatterboxes (though maybe in moderation!) because I’m generally not one myself (unless something’s set me off!), and I appreciate someone who’s better than me at keeping conversations flowing. But good communication is a must, as is complete honesty and openness – and, of course, a good sense of humour is essential.
