In His Own Words
About Him
Basic no frills, off the shelf, standard issue male. Had some great times, broke a few bits (I creak and walk funny on cold days), but never got round to having a family or anyone special in my life.
Guitarist, writer, adventurer, kitchen boy, dinosaur slayer, alligator wrestler, coelacanth neuterer, underwater unicycle juggler and braai lighter. Part owner and general dogsbody of an international award winning Irish microbrewery and restaurant when I'm not working my day job as a bush pilot. On the same wavelength as animals and get on well with them. Don't understand people at all so can't play their games. Loyal and faithful. Would have made a good dog. My best friend is a GSD/wolf and he agrees.
Socially inept and don't suffer from vanity, having spent most of my adult life in unconventional, out of the way places. Subtlety goes over my head and nuance is a closed book for me. Awkward, clumsy and tongue tied around strangers. I'm the one hiding in the corner at parties, trying to fish the sausage roll out of my drink. Don't like crowds and not above using my elbows to clear some space when the mob becomes too annoying. Good cook and a voracious reader. Self sufficient. Cleaning and doing my own laundry not an issue. Not socialised. The game playing bits never developed so it's wasted on my thick hide, and my lack of response drives people crazy. Hate phones and have the happy knack of being able to ignore them when they ring.
Low tolerance for smokers, but it's negotiable. We all have our crutch. Mine is tea. I drink gallons of the stuff. Probably too boring for most people, as my ideal holiday is having Vulcan the wolf dog with me at home, a good book and a cup of tea. I'm burned out on the crazy stuff, and getting stopped by airport security to ask why bits of me set off the metal detector is getting stale. Not very sporty, but enjoy watching rugby and cricket. Being a morning person, I like to watch the sunrise with my Boy and a cuppa. He's the handsome guy with the furry ears in my pics.
About His Ideal Match
You'll require a sense of humour that can survive having rocks bounced off it. If you're tall, that's a bonus. Your long hair will make me howl at the moon. As mentioned, prefer non smokers. Intelligence mandatory. If you can read a book in comfortable silence without the need to fill it with conversation, you'll do just fine. Flipping through a magazine doesn't count as reading. If you like curries, Asian cuisine, Middle Eastern and Italian food and fresh baked bread, we should talk. Currently writing a cookbook and having someone to experiment on would be a good thing.
No games. You're wasting your time. I just don't get it and you'll drive yourself crazy trying to push my buttons. Chances are good I won't have a clue what you're on about and your carpet chewing rages or stoney silence will go unnoticed and ignored. Social ineptitude does have some advantages in that regard. I understand this relationship stuff requires input from both to avoid going round in circles until one of us snaps. I don't get subtlety, so it's unlikely I'll be the one to crack. Too long alone makes one thick skinned and averse to company. Perils of the job out here in the desert, I'm afraid.
If you're good with animals and get on well with them, that's always a plus. I trust their judgement, although my Boy likes everyone, even those I would cross the road to avoid. I guess he sees something in people I don't, but then again he's a much nicer person than I am. In fact, he's the most gentle person I've ever met, and much like your children, he comes first in my life. My loyalty is to those important to me, ie Vulcan, but you're the same. You wouldn't have it any other way, I'm sure. I don't fit into any of the standard boxes so putting up with me could take some doing.
Did I mention you'll need a sense of humour?
