Before I begin my profile. I have two requests. Please do not send photos of yourself un-clothed below your waist, and please, do not ask for money. I do not write these words to offend, insult, or embarrass. We all have our pride and dignity, and sometimes we all need help, but my refusal will only result in great unhappiness, for both of us. Even ruin a relationship. This unfortunately, has already happened. Never allow hope to exceed expectation. Life is never as we wish it could or should be. And do not say you love someone unless it is true. A false love is worse than no love. I am a gay man living in a coastal town called Emsworth. On the south coast of England. "To know the world we live in, we should know the people we share it with". I have a natural curiosity,to know what life is like for gay men in other countries because I live my life as an openly gay man. Many of you cannot. So it does not matter in which country you live, your race, religion, colour. If you write to me. I will reply. Sometimes, from a contact, a friendship is formed which becomes a relationship. It can be a long-lasting and very wonderful one. But also fail, for many reasons, so we must not apportion blame, but leave each other with grace, dignity and respect. Ask for nothing, expect nothing so that if the relationship is a disappointment. The parting will be easier to bear. An engineer in the textile industry. My main interest is Theatre. I also enjoy reading, writing, listening to music, cycling and walking in the countryside around my home. No longer young or handsome, the photos are of myself, as I am now. You may like to find me on Skype. Look for Boodle. Jonathan
