I'm hard to 'sell' to you, ladies. This is me.

I'll start with the 'negatives', so we waste no one's time.

Poor erection & amputated leg, both caused by a single case of medical negligence.

Surgery WILL fix the former, once I have a committed permanent partner to share it with.Meanwhile, she would not be otherwise disappointed with my romantic intimate skillset & imagination.

I'm looking to meet/make a soulmate whom I can then adore, cherish & give all my considerable love to.

My ideal partner would be young, intelligent, independent, self-sufficient & determinedly childfree.She should also be well aware of, and prepared for the ramifications of being in an age-gap relationship. Further, I expect she will be happy to relocate in order to come live with me in my 4-bed house.

I was once told by a lovely old-couple on the occasion of their 70th. wedding anniversary something so wonderfully thoughtful that it's been my personal philosopy ever since. It's so very spot-on...

To have the most successful relationship, first and foremost be mutual best friends, be actually willing to die for one-another, be completely & painfully honest & loyal together and never have secrets between the two of you.

Begin each day with the aim of being your best-ever self to your partner, let no-one come between you and each understand that in maintaining a relationship, it is hard work and that at every second of being a successful couple... the hard work begins next!

Always understand that occasionally third-persons with whom you cross-paths will be 'attractive' or 'come-on' to one or other of you and that feelings of attraction &/or temptation are natural facets of existence and such encounters are most importantly freely discussed and laughed at between you. Never be scared of/for your partner in such instances!

Differences between partners as to what one (dis)likes, expects or thinks are just as valid in a healthy relationship as is being in 'total conformity' with one-another and arguably far more normal. The latter is rather anally-retentive and unusual, after all.

Discuss, debate, and even, on occasion argue 'til you're both red-faced! That's normal/healthy... however, never allow a 'fight' of this sort to go on longer than a previously agreed time-limit (10 mins.?) before agreeing to drop the subject unresolved, each to go away to hone their point of view and undertake to come back to discussion at a later date/time, both calmed and try again.

After (maybe?) three attempts, agree a 'plan' to either take-turns in wielding a 'casting-vote', discussion by discussion; or, to ask a mutually trusted third-party to do the Solomonic thing and abide by their thoughts on the matter. Under no circumstance ever, go to bed with resentments from disagreements still boiling!

PS ~ Because of the preponderance of 'catfish' out there, you'll understand that I am going to ask you to provide a SFW picture of yourself, showing your face and holding up a sheet of paper upon which is visibly written a five-character alphanumeric 'pin-code' of my choice.I will be quite happy to provide same/similar in return, if required.
