Management Consultant

I'm 53 and from 'Thames Ditton, Surrey' - London

I'm looking for a man

I'm interested in: Friends, Social Networking, Romance, Short Term Relationship or Long Term Relationship

[Last logged on : A long time ago]

I love a funny man...

This always sounds so naff, but here goes...

I am a real mix : I've been told that I'm caring, kind, generous, interesting, intelligent, fun, witty, authentic, honest, empathetic, thoughtful, cheeky, irreverent, naughty, sincere, loyal, spontaneous and a very good listener.

I love going out and having fun. I also love a stimulating, intellectual conversation and learning new things from interesting people. I like to party but I also enjoy a bottle of wine and a curry on the sofa in front of a great film. I love exercise and have always been fit. I love a good laugh, and a man who can make me laugh is very attractive.

If you want to find out more about me, please get in touch.

The only way to really know if you connect with someone is to meet and gauge whether or not there is any chemistry. It's impossible to convey what we're really like in a few paragraphs and I guess people will judge mostly by photos - again misleading. I love being behind a camera, not in front of one and I hate having my photo taken!

I'm looking for a man who:
- makes me laugh
- is interesting, adventurous and fun
- is kind, honest and generous
- has some life experience
- is not arrogant or cocky
- is open minded and doesn't take himself too seriously

I love a good laugh and having fun.
