I would love to share this wonderful gift of life. I have a huge amount of love and experience to offer the right woman.

I am very affectionate, kind, educated, creative, adventurous, sensual, practical, good company (so I'm told), positive, very cheerful, and a bit of a tease (to those I like) ;p

I love to travel, visiting beautiful places, exploring. I love knowledge. I am very curious: very few things disinterest me.

I read philosophy, psychology and economics at university. I have sometimes been a professional artist/photographer. These days I mainly design eCommerce websites: I am a computer systems architect/designer (mainly in London).

I'm a non-evangelical veggie (for ethical reasons) but you don't have to be. It's my personal choice and most of my former girlfriends were not.

I am an extremist: I love the best parts of city life on the one hand, and I love the countryside with no signs of humanity on the other. I love people, culture, history, architecture, and Nature.

I have the utmost respect for my mind and body and take good care of them both, and feed them what I think is good for them, and exercise them in a way that I think is good for them. I go to the gym or do some other form of physical exercise a few times a week and I take exercise whenever and wherever I can. I am fit.

The things I look for in a partner are: kindness, affection, intelligence, culture, passion. I like confident women who take care of themselves and take pride in themselves. Fit is good ;)

I like equality in a relationship: I don't like being bossed around and I don't want to have to take the lead all the time.

I like women who are non-confrontational - who can calmly and politely say what they feel and have a high level of rationalism. I would never intentionally do bad things to you or say bad things about you - I am above all that, and I hope to find someone mature enough and kind enough to treat me (and others) likewise. Life is difficult enough as it is, and I feel a couple should work together as a team to make it mutually easier and more enjoyable.

You won't be disappointed... ;)

Then it wouldn't be private?!

You like being teased, like thought-provocation, are feminine and like to look good most of the time; not submissive, don't have a moustache or a hairy chest; like sex, don't smoke, are happy and like yourself; are kind, not feisty or confrontational; cultured, intelligent, look after your body and looks; appreciate life, like children, food, and wine; where you derive happiness from other people's happiness - especially your loved ones.
