Fat, balding, unambitious man, but one who has travelled widely, and seen the world, and now likes just pottering about the house and doing gardening. Into gardening, poetry, writing, listening to classical music, driving, photography, Art, Australian football, painting poetry and literature, weightlifting, wrestling, the sea, travel, history, reading, cinema, politics, economics, photography. Loves listening to classical music, but also loves rock steady and reggae. Tends to be somewhat extempore, and is disinclined to having every minute of every day planned. A regular guy who has travelled widely and seen a lot (some good some not) and former journalist (TV and print) who returned to Australia after living in Russia for 9 years, and took a quiet job in a bland organisation to make sure his kids got a good education and quality of life. Now spends absurd amounts of time in the garden, fearful of being bitten by spiders, and experimenting with power tools he isn’t sure how to use. Is often fairly socialist in his political and economic views, and suspects all serious wealth is gained in part through corruption. Has a sharp sense of humour and a good sense of the insane, but can also have a sharp tongue and says what he thinks (which can have upsides but some people find confronting). I am also sometimes somewhat pessimistic (I started out an optimist however). Dreams of a better world and sees much corruption about and sometimes writes about it, and enjoys discussing it over a glass of wine. Likes sunrises, classical music, and driving. When not being a low level manager still edits and writes as a freelancer. Loves taking photos. Does not smoke and rarely drinks more than a glass or two (it makes me sleepy). Likes food, and can cook well, but stays clear of take away food. Is overweight and balding, and wears glasses, and has fairly deep gravelly voice. Should not be confused with Tom Cruise, Ryan Gosling or Benedict Cumberbatch. Has had one hip replaced and is missing ligaments in one knee (courtesy of playing football when younger) so does not go in for running. Dislikes formal dressing and prefers jeans and short sleeve shirts (though occasionally needs to wear a suit for work). Well educated, and with a superb vocabulary and a genuine ability to make words dance upon the page, but who can on occasion find simple anglo-saxon swearing more befitting for some occasions. Can become stressed, but is generally fairly placid. Likes intelligent attractive women particularly those with a bit of drive, but does not assume he needs to sleep with every last one he ever sees, or that every last woman he ever meets is going to be remotely interested in him. Also aware that many young ladies on sites like this are prone to sending less demure photographs of themselves (which can have the effect of making him wonder what life as a human pogo stick would be like – he is only human after all) and that he should try and think beyond the legs, bustlines and pretty faces to the mind and heart beyond. ....I hope all that gives some sort of impression... ... And I really dont like cats (I am allergic to them) Finally, it is reflective of me and not you ladies, but I will not be interested in anyone under about 35 (dont get me wrong, I am sure you are all special in a number of ways, it is just that I feel I would be wasting the time of any woman under the age of 35 or so), and I am also not interested in having any more children (although I dont mind ladies who already have children of their own). From some of the letters which I have looked briefly at I would note the following. I am not particularly wealthy (I am not poor and am well employed, but I need to work and am paying off a mortgage). I am not particularly career focussed (and to be suspicious of all forms of ‘management’; and of the view that all significant wealth is likely to involve corruption somewhere in its acquisition). I am not particularly confident or self assertive. I am more the sort of person who is lively enough to fill in where others arent all that lively, but if others are lively then I will be quieter and allow them to be. I am certainly not going to waltz into someones life and start telling them what to do (and conversely, am likely to be fairly dubious about anyone wanting to waltz into my life and start issuing instructions). I tend to be fairly relaxed and easygoing. Also I have been through enough (or lived long enough) to not have any real concerns about whether I am a real man or not - as far as I am concerned I am about as manly as the next fellow (and if I am being arrogant I would suggest there may be a chance I will be smarter than the next fellow). And finally I should add that I am not that rigid in what I am looking for. I am probably looking for someone to be relaxed and easygoing with. Nightclubbers may want to look at the next guy.

Open minded and curious, believing in ones self, always looking for ways to produce a better version of myself While I love the excitement and sophistication of the world’s big cities I am humble and do appreciate the simple things in life. I am fascinated and intrigued by the enormity of the universe or perhaps universes we live in … or is it parallel universes? What do you think?? LoL (simultaneous wink and smile)

"I hold no preference among flowers so long as they are wild, spontaneous and free." It is impossible to describe myself in a single paragraph but for the purpose of this intro I consider myself to be youthful, intelligent, creative and adventurous. I am also non-religious, open minded, an incurable romantic, have a good (weird) sense of humour, am a little bit eccentric and probably also a little bit old fashioned. I try to be an independent thinker. I hope my friends consider me to be loyal, considerate and honest. I love connecting with the natural world, I love travelling, I love sharing new ideas for a troubled old world. I love believing in love. Not interested in endless chats, emails or messaging, not interested in talking about marriage or forever, for now just looking for a girlfriend and companion. If you like me and I like you, let's meet ASAP

I was born and bred in Adelaide. I think I have always had a pretty strong creative impulse. I have travelled extensively and have had an adventurous life. I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I intended to be. I believe in everything until it's disproved. So I believe in fairies, myths, dragons, spirits, UFOs. It all exists, even if it's in your mind. Who's to say that dreams and nightmares aren't as real as the here and now? I enjoy listening to music, sport (football, motor racing), architecture, travel,and cooking. My ideal dinner party would include Mick Jagger, Nelson Mandela, Bill Clinton, Mohammed Ali, Sophia Loren, Jack Nickolson, Bono and Bob Geldof.

still very active playing golf and tennis and swimming. Love to travel. Enjoy meeting people particularly from Asia but I avoid the bar scene. I have a farmer in the past and am a notary and managed properties A genuine person who treats people with respect.

I wear socks that match. I’m an honest man, with a decent career and strong values. So while I could regale you with stories of my trips to Paris or how I resemble Ryan Gosling… I know that good communication’s a foundation for every relationship. So if we’re on the same wavelength, read on... Monday through Friday, I develop web applications for the govt. So my average workweek involves leading teams, crunching numbers, and running meetings. I could tell you more, but I’m sure you’d much rather know more about us. Outside of work I keep plenty busy, whether I’m getting my heart rate up on the tennis courts, or throwing juicy burgers on the BBQ with friends. When I travel, I love exploring the open air at the beach and dining out.

very easy to talk too and always happy I love to travel and learn about different cultures I love golf and the beach I am very open minded so let's talk ONLY Japanese and Chinese lady's contact me please I will write back if you leave a message. I never realized how many lady scammers from Ghana are on this site No Photo No Reply

I am caring, loving and loyal to the Woman who is in my life. I like to go to the Cinema, Ten Pin Bowling and occasionally watching the football. I also like to travel. I'm a bit of a homebody but also like going out to dinner with friends. I love my children and my family.

I live on the Gold Coast in Australia in a large home with ocean views. My home is on 2.5 acres with a wildlife section at the back full of Koalas , Kangaroos and Parrots. There are a number of business interests mainly involving property but I am wanting to reduce my workload a bit now. I am also involved in volunteer work for a couple of charities. Fitness and health are very important to me ( Gym 4/5 times a week ) and I still compete in Masters sports.
