In His Own Words
About him
* Intellectually/spiritually questing, athletic, solvent but passionately alternative London guy - writer/editor, counsellor/psychotherapist, skier, motorcyclist, (enthusiastic but only inconsistently skilful) tennis player. More Mediterranean than typically British-looking. Hair long & dark most of my life but now short & mostly grey, eyes brown; smooth olive(ish) skin; lean, wiry but muscular body. Face often stubbly but no permanent growth (& I'll attend to it if you find it prickles...)
* In terms of attire, while neither rough nor loutish, I'm far from a city slicker. I can do relatively smart when the occasion demands but it's always a bit quirky rather than formal or traditional, and on an everyday basis you're much more likely to see me in well-worn motorcycle leathers than a suit and tie (subverting the macho stereotype is all part of the fun...)
* Politically radical in theory, mostly uninvolved in practice. Philosophically tend towards Eastern, Buddhist/Taoist view but prefer not to call myself anything-ist. Love tolerance & diversity; try not to hate at all but fervently opposed to authoritarians, racists, homophobes, Tories, Brexit-celebrators, bigots of any kind... & ardent religionists of any flavour…
* Enjoy usual cultural stuff (books, film, modern dance...) but especially music: techno, trance, d&b, hip-hop, world, blues, goth, jazz, classical; most things except drossy chart singles. Not much into male company; best friends all women, including most ex-lovers. If you see that as healthy, great; if it looks like unwanted baggage, move on...
About his ideal match
* Looking for a woman with an independent outlook and secure sense of self-worth, to be lover & friend. Quirky sense of humour & strong sense of absurd big assets; healthy appetite for uninhibited sensuality a must.
* Physically, the ideal I dream of would (I'm afraid) be stereotypically lithe, slender & long-legged -- though definitely fit, not anorexic; athletic rather than wasted. In reality I have pretty broad tastes, so even if you don't consider yourself a vision of perfection (which I'm certainly not!) please don't let it hold you back… Having said that, although I'd love not to be any kind of a body fascist, there's no point pretending that anyone more than marginally overweight is going to set my passions aflame.
* Don't have children & don't want any - but don't rule yourself out if you have 1-2 already.
* By the way, even if you don't rate me as a romantic prospect, do get in touch if you fancy playing some tennis…
* UPDATE: I'm now officially entirely single once more. No fixed idea of what I'm looking for next – but definitely open to offers...
