A dad of four, trying to find love. Form an orderly queue, ladies…
For many years I worked in consultation and engagement services across a number of organisations. My role was to go out into the community and find out what they thought of something - a policy, a publication, an issue, a community, a development - and distill that down to report it back to decision makers....

"Don't worry, I'm happy to lie about how we met! ;-)" That line, or variations on it, is one I've seen on no small number of profiles. It says "I am embarrassed to be here, and no doubt you are too; we're better than this. I don't want anyone to know I've resorted to online... Continue Reading →
Clothes maketh the man, or so they say (whoever "they" are). This was never a problem for me in my previous life. I had four types of clothes: work clothes (suits, shirts), wedding clothes (with a little work clothes crossover), daily clothes (jeans, t-shirts) and nice clothes (nicer jeans, nicer t-shirts).

Armed with that (often conflicting) advice I trawled... Continue Reading →
Ghosting is generally a bad thing, or so I’ve been told. However, it’s also important to remember that not every situation is the same.
This really interesting piece is from courtneydercqu.com and is well worth a read.

I’ve a list of elements my perfect woman would have. It’s massively overambitious I know, and this woman would be way out of my league, but it’s important to have dreams. My perfect woman would be gorgeous, would prove her smarts by being a scientist of some kind and would be looking for the right... Continue Reading →
