In His Own Words
About him
I am regarded as intelligent, having been a university lecturer and a UK manager at a major international company. I am generally easygoing but can be determined if needed. People would describe me as sound, genuine, helpful and reliable. I get on well with most people. I have quite a range of hobbies, mainly outdoor with some technical content. As my online name suggests DIY is something I have done a lot of. Have travelled quite a bit but find long haul flights tedious. Canaries, Portugal and Madeira are favourites. Tend to be a realist rather than overly optimistic or pessimistic. Dislike arrogance and jealousy. I have described myself as a few extra pounds because it's true but many would describe me as stocky or powerfully built.
About his ideal match
Easygoing, does not have to be a smart dresser. Pleasant natured, not fussy or a drama queen. I value openness, honesty and straightforwardness. Hopefully share some of my activities but good if they have some of their own. deal breaker would be more than occasional smoke or deceipt. I like people who take time to reach judgements, not dismiss others too quickly. Looking for a good solid trusting relationship, sharing activities and holidays etc. someone who might happy to try a bit of cycling and swimming, open water preferably even if they don't do it at the moment.
