In His Own Words
About Him
I am a retired ecologist with a nice comfortable lifestyle.
The aim of my quest is to find someone that will value me as a companion worthwhile to fight for. I have been around the block a couple of times and tend to avoid those who give up easily or who only sit and wait for the world to revolve around them. I do have exceptional qualities like loyalty, good communication skills, empathy, and general knowledge. I do enjoy wildlife watching, gardening (not horticultural gardening but ecological gardening - more untidy), enjoy most leisure activities in moderation (NOT an extreme-sports fanatic).
I'm not a great sport spectator, especially not keen to watch TV on a Saturday afternoon. I will rather plant a tree, mow the lawn, read a book, work on my 4x4 touring vehicle (in the process of purchasing a off-road caravan), attend a music show, or travel out to indigenous nurseries, or to any pristine landscape in any protected area. I do like social dancing very much and I prefer not to go to a dance venue without a dance partner.
About His Ideal Match
How fulfilling it must be to meet someone that has a passion for all things with integrity, whether it is art, a wise person, a sound long term relationship, a special book collection, unusual cultural value systems, the essentials in wildlife conservation, or any aspect of unspoilt nature (Do you have binoculars?).
If she can also focus on healthy living, has good communication skills, can also sometimes listen, loves dancing, and therefore has natural rhythm, and enjoy the occasional wilderness safari every year, then I'll be a very content man.
I guess one shouldn't be too specific with your preferences, simply because life is never perfect, and compatibility within human relationships is far more complex than what this oversimplified internet-matching-model wants us to believe..... I mean is 95% more credible as a predictor of outcome than 65% if most criteria are based on value judgments / perceptions?
Hopefully there will be at least a few amongst all the attractive, competent, professional, and single women on this website who haven't lost the art of being content. Discontent is often glorified because it shows your "distinguished taste"...that you are used to something better, or strive for the best.....but may be this can be the cause of never finding happiness.... I wonder....
