In His Own Words
About him
Former recluse due to a mental breakdown when I was a student - but well now, looking for intelligent life in Islington or nearby. I love science and my favourite popular writers are Arthur C. Clarke and Carl Sagan. My ideas of fun are chatting over a coffee, going for a walk to look at architecture or nature, reading a good book, and listening to music of all sorts. I love museums and art galleries though I haven't been for a while. One of the things I get a great deal of satisfaction from is supporting people through difficulties. Sometimes I just like to think. I am focusing on my interest in physics and meeting the people who matter to me in the time that is left to me as there isn't time for everything. Even if my physics leads nowhere it is fun! My budget won't allow lots of travelling, and I prefer Shakespeare to Andrew Lloyd Webber though I love music. I love Leonard Cohen's lyric: "There is a crack, a crack in everything That's how the light gets in". It would be nice to have someone to hug and hold hands with, as well as share thoughts with. I like people but not crowds. Is there anyone out there on the same wavelength? :)
About his ideal match
Someone bookish nearby who has an interest in science or the humanities and a good sense of humour. Someone who - like me - likes chatting and walking but can also appreciate silence and time spent alone, perhaps reading or just thinking. Please no game players. There is room in my life for a partner or a new friend should that be your preference. I would like someone on the left politically, perhaps Green. I have friends or family who have voted for all of the main political parties but recent Conservatives are alien to me, as are Starmer and Streeting in Labour, for spreading hate and division.
Just wanted to say that every woman meeting strange men should check out 'Clare's Law'. Stay safe!
PS. I have friends and family who are LGBT so no one who is phobic please.
