In His Own Words
About him
Fit, energetic and with a curious turn of mind
I'm from Scotland originally and have lived in London since the mid-Seventies. I used to work in publishing but now am fortunate enough to be in a position to follow my own pursuits. I'm interested in the French language and its literature and that's where my main focus currently lies. I like to travel and am interested in the history and culture of Europe, particularly its art and cinema. If that all sounds pretty worthy, I also enjoy eating and drinking and having a laugh.
Although I regard myself as fairly realistic, essentially I'm looking for my partner in this life....hope springs eternal in the human breast.
I imagine that I'm a fairly normal mixture of strengths, weaknesses, securities and vulnerabilities.
About his ideal match
A stylish, open-minded woman of generous spirit with a sense of humour. With some different interests from my own. As Joni Mitchell says 'a woman of heart and mind'.... and some romantic chemistry obviously. Honesty is also important.
....now that shouldn't be hard to find, should it ?
