I’m happy to sit within my femininity so I am looking for a masculine GENTLEMAN who values and respects a Lady. I enjoy cooking and eating healthy food, my spice drawer contains more than 30 spices as I cook from scratch mostly. My good health is important to me and wish to preserve it, so I keep fit by swimming, gym, jacuzzi, steam, oh and I'm a reluctant runner. For leisure I love spa days, going to the theatre and I don’t mind walking. You’ll need to be fit for me to be attracted to you. I’m the only person I know who loves classical music and the opera,Its lonely going to concerts on my own. At the gym however I listen to pumped up music with a base to keep me moving, Black Eyed Peas, Sean Paul, Drake and similar.I enjoy watching athletics and rugby but never football, I just don’t have the patience to wait for someone to score and I don’t understand all the passing. I prefer to be on the internet rather than watch TV as I love learning, but I do watch films and some box sets. Sorry in advance but I do enjoy food and shopping for the home but not clothes as it bores the "pants" off me although I do care how I look. Fortunately, I can leave the house without make up. Most of the time I’m quiet because I’ve a vivid imagination. Sometimes I’m a bit of a ditz but I do try to engage my brain. Unfortunately, I’ve never been married or had children, I was too busy teaching and being a school inspector. Recently I gave up teaching for investment. Oh I love animals’ cows, ducks, dogs, horses and alpacas. Maybe I should live on a farm! I enjoy light gardening in fair weather, flowers and veg mostly. Like most people I don’t care for gossip or conversations about hair, fashion and makeup but my thirst for learning is high and would need an educated man who doesn’t always have to have the last word or force their opinion on me. Small talk is not at the top of my list and neither is self-promotion (that’ll make dating a challenge) send me a message if you would like to date me and if you think we might get on, until then Kind regards.
