About me
The photos are not great, I know, and yes they're all jeans and t-shirts. But they're not improved in any way, no filters or Photoshop. The dates and locations were, in the order displayed: 2021/England (main), 2010/Vietnam, 2012/Australia, 2022/Turkey, 2022/England, 2018/Vietnam, 2016/England, 2011/Australia, 2017/Cambodia, 2022/Turkey x 3. The older ones are partly so you can see how I'm ageing, ha ha.
I was born in England, lived in Australia for about 20 years, and intermittently lived and worked in E & SE Asia for about 11 years. Currently I'm in Scotland, but I don't want to stay here, and ideally I'd like to return to Australia with Ms Right. Depending on circumstances that may not be possible though, so I'm flexible.
I have a degree in engineering, electronics and computing, but could easily have attained something higher. I didn't like formal study though and most of what I know is self-taught.
In the past I mostly worked as a consultant systems / software designer / developer, also a little in Asia as an English teacher.
At my age and with the work I used to do, I should be retired and quite affluent. But many things went wrong in the past, people repeatedly let me down, various things, various times. That was disastrous for me, so I have much less now than I reasonably expected.
Even so, I don't need to work any more, though I will probably do at least something in the future. I'm not sure though, and currently I'm thinking about this and what to do next in my life.
I'm very honest, loyal, kind, open, considerate, polite, friendly, caring, altruistic, deep thinking, borderline intellectual. I can listen as well as talk. If I'm wrong about something I'll change my mind, even if it's difficult (but will need a reason, otherwise my views are worthless).
I try to see things as they really are, not as I want them to be, which sometimes to give me an unusual outlook on life.
After years of research into the subject, I believe nothing superstitious or spiritual or mystical, including religion. To me it's provable and obvious that belief in such things by anybody is harmful to us all, so I have very little tolerance for them.
In the past I've had many interests, but right now not so many. However I read a lot, have exercised hard for decades to try to stay slim and fit, used to do many outdoor activities, used to like deep / philosophical discussions but I think I found most of the answers in my twenties, hah.
I much prefer nature and quiet to cities and noise, drink little alcohol and usually only socially, really hate smoking, vaping, "recreational" drugs, and have zero interest in gambling.
I've never married and have no children. That was not the plan and I definitely should not be alone and still single at my age. But that was mostly not my fault, at least I don't think so.
Hopefully it's not too late to meet the lady I always thought I could find quite easily... but somehow haven't!
About you
Someone completely honest, ethical, loyal, kind, gentle, smart / educated / rational enough to really talk to and share everything with, not religious or superstitious, with some common interests and without conflicting interests.
Ideally never married (like myself), but divorced or widowed may be OK, and without children.
Despite my age I'd still like the chance to try for children, and that forces me to look for someone much younger than me, otherwise I wouldn't care much about age. But biology gives me little flexibility.
For other things, I have to be realistic about what's suitable for me, what I want, my own age, and my current circumstances.
Please don't be offended by any of this, it doesn't mean I have a negative view of anyone different.
