Shaun (50) from Cheshire

I'm 5ft 10, slim with short, dark hair (well, with a little bit of grey). I enjoy cycling, walking, photography, theatre (both watching and also getting involved), visiting art galleries and museums, reading (though my friends would argue that what I like is "books", as they seem to think I just buy them and never read), travelling (the last few places I've been to were Brussels (to see friends), Portugal (to see relatives) and Perpignan (to see if Salvador Dali was right; if you haven't been I'll save you the journey - no, the railway station is not the centre of the universe !), music (James, Pulp, The Smiths, Dar Williams, Caroline Lavelle, Beautiful South ....), cooking, eating out with friends (virtually anything, but especially Italian) and general socialising.

Ideally, my soulmate........

Don't know where you are, what you look like, how tall you are, what colour of hair or eyes you have or if you're a member of this site, but I do know you're intelligent, polite, patient, friendly, average/athletic/slim build, independent, early forties or younger, prefer documentaries to soaps, have a fairly dry and subtle sense of humour and do not smoke. Integrity, honesty, good manners etc. more important than looks.
