In His Own Words
About him
I'd like to be my friend if I wasn't me. I'm a good friend to my friends. I value and offer gentleness, compassion, openness, authenticity, integrity, and a willingness to negotiate when difficulties or problems arise. I strive for clarity and understanding.
I have a couple of close male friends but my female friends are all attached (to someone else!).
I'd like to work towards a mutually supportive "whole person" friendship rather than a symbiotic relationship, because: "The moment you feel, you’re nobody-but-yourself. To be nobody-but-yourself — in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else — means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting". (EE Cummings).
I dance, swim, cycle, motorcycle, and thank Jehovah God that I have my health, strength, fitness, and can still do so much.
There is nothing materially that I want for (that I don't already have. I have no smartphone.
About his ideal match
Someone gentle, compassionate, authentic, and willing to discuss and negotiate when difficulties or problems arise.
("Intimacy means constantly keeping the other person informed about where you are in relation to them." Annalisa Barbieri).
I am looking for a close female friend. I'm not looking for an ideal nor for perfection, e.g. I am aware of the effects of ageing and that, "one in three women experience urinary incontinence, one in 10 faecal incontinence, and half of women over 50 have pelvic organ prolapse. (These prevention and treatment tips are well worth a read. Aamna The Guardian 9/7/2025).
KIndness and the quality of communication are crucial. Activities could be many and varied; or few. (Walking; singing; dancing; frisbee(!); writing; games; cycling; motorcycling?!).
