If you are of the sensitive or PC disposition, move on: I'll only drive you to distraction. I'm a straight talking but cynical type, but the fact that you see me here means that I'm still fairly open minded. Pretty shy to begin with, but in the right company, you can't shut me up. I'm no elephant man but still not posting a photo 'cos someone I know is bound to find it, so happy to share with anyone who asks nicely and returns the favour - Mind you there's a few extra lines on the face from all the cringing trying to write about myself - is it just me? Probably best described as dependable (which is a nice way of saying boring, but I have my moments). Just realised recently I'm in my thirties and not a teenager any more and suddenly every girl I know has a friend who'd be ideal for me. I think this is the better approach.

Strong. Tolerant.Takes the 'born comedian' bit with a pinch of salt - maybe I should have said sarcastic git. Actually, now that I think of it, does getting out of bed in the morning qualify as 'active'? Insecurity a big turn off, but you don't have to be beaming with confidence. You can expect loyalty from me so it shouldn't be an issue. Own hair and teeth a bonus.

One that's followed by a second date - that's why we're here, kids.
