sandmartin (50) from North Yorkshire

Probably old enough and wise enough to know better than indulging the internet dating thing but have limited time and opportunity for socialising due to work commitments and being relatively new in town but what the hell, life's on the up so why not!

Guess this is the bit where I'm supposed to say how much I love red wine, snuggling up on the sofa with a dvd, love the outdoors and throw in some quip like 'if carlsberg made boyfriends like me ....'!! (cheesy naff or what!)

I'd rather mention a few things that are important to me because if I am lucky enough to meet someone special on here I guess it will be someone with shared values. So, in no particular order

Work is important to me. I'm in training & consultancy and love it but have had to sacrifice a bit and change things around to get to where I am. I look for new opportunities all the time.

I'm not an acedemic or super intelligent, but people who know me would say that I'm bright. I get on best with people who can challenge me, talk about interesting things, introduce me to new ideas etc.

My kids, although almost fully grown now will always come first!

Generosity between people is the greatest gift of all ... it makes everything worthwhile

I'm not very PC .. live n let live, laugh at life and yourself and take the consequences of your actions .. is my motto.

I like red wine, snuggling up on the sofa watching a good DVD and if carlsberg made boyfriends like me ... agh!!

Sure I've covered that above! In addition though and fill up some space ... qualities I find attractive are warmth, wit and emotional intelligence! You find the latter useful in dealing with my sense of humour!
