I AM NOT INTO ENDLESS E-MAILS. I PREFER TO EXCHANGE FEW MESSAGES AND MEET UP FOR A FACE TO FACE CHAT.

I'm here looking to meet good normal genuine people! Me passionate, down to earth professional. I'm optimistic and happy to laugh at myself. I try not to take myself too seriously. I can be brutally honest and I don't play games. What am I looking for? Nothing too heavy, although you can never say, never!! Looking to date again and at least make some new friends!! I am not looking to change the world . . . but maybe a few tweaks here and there!!

I'm an attractive, open minded, intelligent, adventurous, happy, fun and just a down to earth honest type of guy! I’m not a stick insect however I am well proportioned. Own house, car, motorcycle, job, teeth, hair etc oh and solvent!

Am not negative and not keen on being around those who are - upbeat is always better. I love travelling, socialising, cooking, music especially live gigs, movies, eating out and in. My glass is always 1/2 full.

I value intelligence, knowledge, and competence, and typically I have high standards in these regards.

I'm a building surveyor with over 30 years experience. I look after a property portfolio of around 6,500 properties in the Thames Valley.

PLEASE only looking for genuine normal people - don’t need a one night stands or a new wife!! - Those of you looking to fulfil those roles please move on - something in between is always good!

Thanks for looking in, Ian

I love life so much. Had a close shave from the grim reaper makes you appreciate all that life has to offer. I have a busy social life but there is always room for more people and activities. Life should be about people, went to Poland in August 2011 for a few weeks to meet up with some long time friends 19 years + had a great time. I still remember watching Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake performed by the Moscow ballet in St Petersburg Russia in June 1996 dressed in leathers with the Harley parked outside. Visited Erondegem Belgium, Kaiserslautern Germany, Prague Czech Republic, Munich Germany, Neuschwanstein Castle Germany, Stugartt Germany, Bitche France, Rudesheim Germany - cable car, ski lift & Rhine cruise in May / June 2012.

Making meals out of leftovers!!
Jack of all trades and Master of some!
Chatting to people I don’t know, how else are you to make friends?
Making plans at short notice and following them through.
Making decisions but not without regard to others.

My eyes! And that I'm looking them in the eye.

Books – The Lord of the Rings, The Da Vinci Code, The Prophet The Catcher in the Rye, To Kill a Mockingbird, Nineteen Eighty-Four, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, James Bond – some of them, Stig of the dump, Unbroken.

TV/Film - Life on Mars, True Blood, Heroes, Thunderbirds, Dr. Zhivago, Arthur, Alien, (Tinker, Sailor, Soldier, Spy). Almost any film from any era. Current favourite Cowboys and Aliens.

Music - 50’s, 60’s, 70’s, 80’s, 90's, 00’s and current chart music as well. The Who, T-rex, The Jam, David Bowie, Prodigy, Depeche Mode, Eddy Cochran, Mariah Carey, Buddy Holly, Beetles, Hendrix, Rolling Stones. Classical when the mood is right. I don't like most dance music and I can't stand any music that exists as a result of X-Factor or similar.

Food - Lots of favourites, there is very little that I do not eat. I eat most vegetables and meat prepared in most ways possible. Fond of BBQ’s

Real Ale / Real Music

Where I’m travelling next, which of my very good friends am I going to pleasantly surprise, real ale, live music, how can I afford my trip to Vietnam next year?

Out with friends putting the world to rights and debating all manor of things - usually with some alcohol involved!

Hum that's private . . .obviously!

You're happy with your life as a single person but open to people who might enhance it . . .
