Now here's the goods on me and maybe the kind of person I'm looking for.

Basics: I'm a 50 year old white male. I'm divorced and not in a relationship. I'm hoping to meet you if you are aged about 40 - 58 years old and are single, separated, divorced or widowed and not in a relationship either. Oh yes, you should be female too!

Family: my family is part English and part Irish. I grew up in the Pennines. I went
to school in Lancashire and university in Wales, and lived and worked in
Yorkshire ever since. I have an 8 year old daughter, who mostly lives with her
mum, though we do see each other and love our little trips out together. My
daughter is very likeable and makes friends easily.

Appearance & Physique: I'd describe myself as attractive, but that's something you will have to decide for yourself. I'm smart but casual in dress. I've got a full head of short light brown hair (which tends to go dark blond in summer) and I have blue eyes. I'm 5' 8" tall, slim build, weigh about 11 st. No prominent muscles to speak of but I do take regular exercise and no pot belly. I'm told I've got a nice bum! I am not looking for somebody who is a physical type, I believe that beauty really is in the eye of the beholder.

Health: I'm in excellent health. I don't smoke, however I do drink socially. I would prefer it if you didn't smoke either, however I don't mind about your drinking habits - in moderation anyway!

Personality: I am very loyal to one partner. I am thoughtful, intelligent and try to be articulate and sensitive to the needs of others. I am careful, kind, straightforward and willing to share things, thoughts and feelings and be supportive when needed. I would say I was tactile, emotional and romantic too. I have a good sense of humour as well. I like children and get on well with them, this probably comes from being quite juvenile myself! I suppose I'm looking for a partner with similar values to me and who does not play mind games, who is positive in their outlook and who doesn't want to change me into somebody I'm not.

Aspirations: I've several goals in my life at the moment. I want to help my little girl grow up to be happy, and contented. I want to do my job well, get results and make a contribution to the company that I work for. I want to get the most out of the life I've got and not to take anything for granted. Most importantly, I also want to find a long term partner who I hope would become both my lover and my best friend. I would hope any mature relationship woould be able to meet your aspirations as well if our goals were compatible.

Home: we live in a modern cottage on the edge of the Dales, north of Leeds. If we went out
                             together it would work best if you lived somewhere in Yorkshire in the Leeds -
                             Bradford - Harrogate area. Unless you relish the idea of trekking across half of
                             England in pursuit of true love!

Job: I'm a manager in a large international company with offices in Leeds. Basically I manage projects, new work and fix problems. I'm financially solvent.

Politics: Politics isn't too important in my life, and so I am fairly middle of the road on most issues, though I'm more left than right wing on some issues. I don't mind what your views are so long as you are not too extreme. I do get involved in community projects through my work and try to put a bit back because I can.

Religion: I don't believe in religion and I don't mind what religion you are, just don't try converting me!

Astrology: I'm a fairly typical Aries male. This is just a bit of fun, but you might like to see how we compare in astrological terms by clicking here, enjoy yourself!

Sport: I don't do any sport, though my dancing tends to keep me reasonably fit. However if you play sports I would happily take an interest and support you in what you do.

Animals: We don't have any pets at present, but don't mind any you might have if they are well behaved and don't decide I'd make a tasty snack.

Culture: I enjoy watching a good film, either in the cinema or at home - if it is well plotted, acted and directed with style. When I watch TV it's likely to be Channel 4, when I listen to the radio it's
                             usually Radio 4, I like to listen when I'm doing something else and it keeps me
                             informed and amused. By way of contrast I also enjoy a range of music from
                             60s Brit pop, through 70s Rock Opera,80s Punk to 90s Techno. I also like
                             Bhangra, Cajun, Irish and Latino music. I think that's quite a range, but
                             generally if it's loud I tend to like it! I'm not into classical, country, jazz, opera or
                             soul, but I'm open minded and willing to be educated. I am a light weight and
                             occasional reader. I like modern art and architecture and trips to the theatre. The other arts you will have to introduce me to!

Pastimes: I enjoy trips to the seaside where the beach, the harbour and the sea
have always fascinated me. I am also interested in history. I find everything
about it interesting because I believe it is history that has made us what we are
now and what we will be. I build web sites occasionally too! I like gentle strolls in
                             the countryside or serious hikes in the hills - both can be fun. I
                             quite enjoy shopping too - of all kinds! Alternatively staying in
                             and chats by a cozy fire or out to a nice country pub. I also love to
                             Salsa - so I can dance too! What I like best though is being with
                             somebody I care about and perhaps sharing some of your
                             activities might be a nice way to develop a relationship. So if
                             you wanted a challenge you could always teach me something
                            new because I'm always willing to learn.
