Retired professional, 72, living on a large seaside property west of Sooke. Share the property with my daughter and her family. My own cottage will be finished late spring/early summer. At 101kg, 174cm, my family describes me as having a sturdy build...36 waist, 46 chest. Balding grey/brown mix,neat, clean and tidy, full but neatly trimmed beard,casual dresser..think boots, jeans, button-down cotton shirts, canvas work wearouter garments. I walk a lot, read a lot, love cooking meals for my family while we share this immense house. A fan of older rock and roll, love a good movie, watch a good amount of british and European TV on streaming services. Don't smoke, do drugs, or drink. Relatively fit, but quite dinged up from sports and work injuries. Well educated, widely read, often won quiz nights at the pub...easier if you're sober, I must admit married for 38 years, separated for the past nine. Most definitely single in truth, mind, action and life. Painfully blunt and honest, few friends as a result. I really like women who are independent thinkers, open and honest. Truthfully not interested in marriage I would like a good friendship with a generous amount of mutual physical attraction. That is still very important to me, even at 72. Older, but not dead. So if some of this appeals to you, please drop me an electronic buzz...no cell phone coverage for us out here, so e-mail will have to do. Graham
