In His Own Words
About him
I live in the Sussex countryside because I have to be close to nature, but although I like nature I am not a "green". I don't think that I fit into any particular box or category. I have a good sense of humour (and have to keep it in check sometimes) and have lived in several countries (Ireland, USA, Panama, Mexico, Germany), finding good people and things to admire and learn from in all of them. I am a retired university professor and this took me to interesting places to study interesting animals (bees). I also have an artistic side which at the moment doesn't get as much time as it should do, but I do some photography. It can be good to meet someone who shares similar interests, but on the other it is also good to meet someone who has different but compatible interests. So don't be put off if you are an artist or a lawyer, a writer or a teacher,....or do anything that is creative and worthwhile.
About his ideal match
Somebody who is looking for meaning in life and has a spiritual side and is not primarily motivated by materialistic things, but who is able to follow their path in the world with practical footsteps and is reliable. Who would rather enjoy a beautiful sunset or walk by the sea or in a forest, than consuming or spending. Who has enough time for a relationship and is comfortable with who they are, but who is still working on it. Someone who is more interested in the person that the clothes they are wearing. It's not the job you do but deeper than that.
