In His Own Words
About him
I'm a decent person. Intellectually curious. Keen on the arts. I like being out in wild places. Kind. Resilient. A bit of a traditionalist. I love humour. All kinds. Witty. Acerbic. Dry. Even sarcasm. I like quality classic tailoring. Negronis. Watching rugby, football or horse racing. Antiques. Pubs. Architecture. I'm relentlessly positive. I believe passionately in the transformational potential of education. And that character, family and friends are essential to a flourishing life. All photos are recent except three: one at Perth Races about eight years ago; the other two are from my time in California. They're obvious, unfortunately. I also like walking. And I've just started boxing training again after a long gap.
About his ideal match
I would like to meet a mature, calm and competent woman. Someone who loves art and music. A romantic. A person with good morals. Tough. Organised. Funny. Not pretentious. A fondness for sport would be a bonus. As would someone with classic dress sense. And if you can tell me who in God's name Elena Ferrante is I will love you forever.
I'm looking for a hopeless romantic. But practical. Someone educated but not a snob. A woman with the capacity for abstract thought. A social conscience. But also fun and funny. Bohemian arty women welcome.
