44, bearded, 5’ 6”, built for comfort not speed. Honest to a fault, genuinely single, a working professional who lives just the other side of the London\Essex cusp in my own place. Grown up son who lives elsewhere, two gerbils called Dizzee and Rascal, a penchant for Shakespeare and a slight geekiness that you would find endearing, well presented when I have to be, but prefer to be casual, conversationally able, emotionally in touch, centred and remarkably together after all life has thrown at me.

Neither bitter or twisted or eroded by jealousy or envy; there’s not a materialistic bone in my body and trust that you will fit that description too.

I’m looking for an intelligent, interesting woman, who has a some life behind her, but more importantly lots of life ahead of her – and by life ahead I’m not talking about your age, but your desire to live and to love.

I’m not looking for one night stands, but I am looking for someone who is interested in exploring long term romantic possibilities if we find ourselves compatible – ideally you’ll be working, and have a life outside work that is fulfilling and fun, but just lacks that special someone to share it with.

I’m no body fascist, so I’m not going to make a list of what your height, weight and eye colour should be. Your ethnic origin should be “Earth: Human”, and we’ll leave it at that :-)That doesn’t mean I’m desperate and looking for anyone, it just means I’m not going to be so stupid as to turn someone away just because they don’t fit some arbitrary criteria. That said, if you can’t scrawl your name in the dirt with a stick and blow bubbles in your drool when you read aloud, we’re probably not going to get along in a social setting :-)

Final taste cloud: Greenaway, Bush(K), Mozart, Banks, Chabon, Shakespeare, Kubrick, Feelgood, Gangsters, Pirates, REM, Nyman, Sushi, Southbank, Tate, White Cube, LA, Barcelona, Doctor Who, Rushdie, Bloc Party, Elbow, The Who, Tippet, Miller, Potter, Manics, cheese, Brawn GP, Morse, Porridge, Barker (R), Bookshops, Single Malt, Sea, Sky, Skye, SF, Shaw, Hitchcock, gadgets, Zeppelin, oh and ‘loads’ more.

Please reply with interesting words and a taste cloud of your own.
