In His Own Words
About him
A thinker... a clown... quite good fun. Depending on how you look at him he's successful, outgoing, competant, optimistic, or alternatively a sad introspective fool. In fact he's both, and at the same time! ;) He has a passion for history and hearing people's life stories and would love to hear yours.
It's not something that folk would normally promote or even mention in an introduction, but he escaped early from a particularly nasty childhood, and then made his way into the world early. The trauma from those years still haunts him just beneath the surface, but it generally doesn't trouble him unduly from day to day. The point is that rather than seeing this history as a minus, it has been an extraordinary benefit throughout his life, giving him a certain fearlessness and inner strength, an appreciation of the simple pleasures of life, and a particular interest in hearing other people's life stories. Strange but true, and when he hears stories from likewise traumatised folk (not as unusual as you might think) it gives him a certain understanding and empathy. With this, and in so many other ways, he has been blessed!
So what's *your* story?
About his ideal match
A thinker and a clown... someone who has stories to tell and likes to tell them by way of playful conversation. Someone with unusual conversational skills who can *really* listen and who likes to skillfully use conversation to peer deeply into minds. An understanding, or at least an appreciation, of disciplines in science, engineering, aviation and astronomy would be helpful.
Only two strict no-nos, smoking and religion; one corrosive to the body and the other to the mind.
