In His Own Words
About Him
I am Quixotic in nature in that I am loyal, have great integrity and am honest. Insincerety, deceit and manipulation are an anathema to me. Yes, I do joust with the occasional windmills.
I am a child of the earth and am happiest doing things outdoors particularly when it is with or for someone special. I need no reward for doing for someone else but resent being taken for granted. I enjoy people with a wry or quirky sense of humour. I am not a big group person as it dilutes people. I enjoy discourse, the sharing of ideas and activities and being challenged. I believe I am aware of my shortcomings and am able to deal with most of them.
If you are looking for a big company executive, that is not me. I work best with individuals and people whom I feel I can form some form of bond. I am the person that you can turn to because I will always be there and you know that you won't be abandoned.
About His Ideal Match
Someone who loves life, appreciates being the special someone of someone else and expresses it in laughter, music and love.
I have a particular aversion to people who construe my willingness to give my all to them as a weakness or something to be taken advantage of. It is important that the ideal person be imbued with honesty and bravery; honesty to acknowledge what they feel and the bravery to say it even though it may hurt, because that is trust.
My ideal is someone who is willing to share our combined and individual ups and downs, someone who is comfortable expressing her thought and feelings and happy to receive mine. Someone who is sensitive, caring, loyal and wants to be cared for. Someone who loves the physicality and personal challenge of sport and yet also has those unique graces and skills that make a woman what she is in a home.
The greatest thing however, is to do and to love as you would have done done to you.
