..maybe i can occupy your thoughts?

I know from previous experiences what works best for me, so please be from the UK, and please be around my age or older (us mature folk need love too), and one other thing, ideally you'll be a lurker, curious about this lifestyle but hesitant as to what to do, but fear not, we'll go at your pace, one step at a time.

Normally, this next bit is where i ask for certain personality traits that you'd feel best describes yourself, but sod that, i just want you to be you, open and honest, so I'll move quickly onto the sort of man i am..

I consider myself to be a gentleman, im polite, courteous and emotionally available, i say strange words like 'please' and 'thank you', I'll even apologise when im in the wrong. But i make no apologies for being who i am, the older i get, i seem to care less about what people think or say these days. I'm more comfortable in my skin than ever before and i know what i like and what i dont like. I'm straight up honest and will say what's on my mind but at the same time, im empathic (sometimes it's a curse, and yes it's contradictory) and wear my heart on my sleeve. I'm prone to over thinking and sometimes worry about the little things in life, because the little things are actually really important.

Physically i am 5'11, i have a high metabolism, considered attractive, but looks are subjective, i have plan brown eyes and a short salt and pepper beard, incidentally i have been told that I have nice kind eyes and a warm smile. And for yourself, just be confident in who you are, but im partial to what some would say a mum bod, or curvaceous.

I mentioned a little before about what i like and don't like, so some of the things I like, in no particular order, would be, fresh coffee, dogs, late night's and early mornings, the smell of freshly baked bread, feeling the sun on my skin, countryside, exploring castles and forests, cosy nights in. And some things i dont like, other road users, cats, slow walking people, food shopping, winter, noisy people in the cinema.
