Why should you get to know Richard_1960?

Ok it's taken time but it took till my mid-40s for me to realize what commitments I can fulfill. It's all about children basically, and to their mother. A shared enterprise of doing the best for someone and our children is the thing I most want to do. Guess I am almost putting cart b4 horse here. But honest though.

What am I? It's like this: often funny / often quiet / optimisitic / all a bit normal, I think. Dull git? Well, I have been called worse...

I am 48 this month. I'm in good shape. But the hair isn't getting any thicker. And I have some scars on one of my chubby cheeks(from football in my 20s! - boys will be boys, etc...). So sadly my photograph doesn't look unlike the real thing. I'll leave digital photo enhancement to the Hollywood types). I'd look presentable to yr friends. I am, at least, the same weight as I was at 20. But heck-it just isnt toned like it was then!!!

I'm decent honest and genuine. No timewasters - I wont waste yours.

He describes his ideal match thus:

I just want to find someone that will be prepared to tolerate the odd compromise or two along the way in order to share a joint enterprise that is more important: i.e. children
