In His Own Words

About him

i am a 7/8 retired professional, average looking gentleman, seeking a compatible intelligent lady friend , for a long term relationship.
i am about 5 ft 7 inches tall ; i have good sense of humor , i am dyslexic , so clear writing and spelling are interesting mysteries
i would like to meet someone, initially for friendship , but in the hope that the friendship would develop into a deeper relationship ;
i have many interests .I,often visit galleries and museums have been learning drawing, classes ran one night per week
i started my working life in ceramics and glass R&D ; moved into technical ceramics production and QC; and ended up lecturing .
i enjoy a range of music, i read a lot, sauce bottle labels to books; do photography, still on 35 mm film ,while its available ; i am just into digital, very different technique.
i can cook adequately , black-belt porridge and cordon bleu custard
i am low maintenance , easy going , and so i would probably feel most at ease with someone similar , but its the chemistry between people that counts
i like to repair things i find and then reassemble them as "better" ? hence my collection of partially working old clocks

About his ideal match

its almost impossible to modularise an ideal woman, ( without using a chain saw , and lots of glue ) but curiosity and an analytical interest in most things would be nice, better spelling than me, tolerance, and lots of proximity - cover some of the key factors, basic deal breakers these usually arise from the inter personal interactions .
however having jinked thru the site and met several very nice ladies ; i can add some general difficulties based on my experiences ; very prominent facial tattoos ; an irrational fear of surds;
the anthropomorphisation of a pet / dog / cat / ? /into a child substitute. ;
.I am (5 foot, 7 inches) I wont get any bigger; and I am happy with unsized ladies (but not excessively porous) .this is nominally a science site ? C.P Snow must be smiling in his grave
