In His Own Words
About him
Honest, interesting, kind and a loyal friend. I thrive when in a mutually supportive relationship and have been in several. I have a very broad range of interests including books, the environment, public policy, classical music, the arts and design, travelling, gardening, woodworking, architecture, archaeology and historic buildings. The state of the world appalls me but I remain an optimist that things can be changed. I hate pretension and prejudice and am definitely on the left politically. I enjoy good food and wine, intelligent conversation and debate
About his ideal match
Someone who shares my core values, but has a distinct personality and their own interests. My successful relationships have all been with people who complement me rather than being the same as me. I really enjoy looking out for, caring about, helping and supporting my partner and friends. If you are outgoing and confident, I would really like to meet you.....
