Hi, first of all apologies for the long profile
I hate this, how do you describe yourself without it sounding like your full of yourself, or undersell it, and it looks like your a boring old fart, still, here goes.. My names Phil and I live on the kent coast. If your seeking a salsa/ceroc partner then thats great, just dont think i'm joining in lol, happy with my own company but not always fun on your own. I like to wile away my time off relaxing from a busy work schedule. Happiest in jeans and T shirt (scrub up well apparently) Like eating out in restaurants and sunday lunches in nice cosy pubs, but also love to stay in and cook. like walks along the seafront, prefer quite pubs to noisy ones, Honest and a bit of a romantic at heart I guess, not ready for pipe and slippers just yet, not into footie, yeh i know thats strange, like lots of different music, but normally chill out stuff when at home.
Love cooking all kinds of food (can handle cooking for dinner parties too!) but finding time to do something more elaborate than a bowl of pasta during the week is difficult due to work. My mates think I look ok for my age (probably wetting themselves thinking I believed them) if you want to know anything else about me, why not mail me and say hi, as for my photo's, sorry, what you see is what you get ...your not seeing my passport pic...
ps if you want to know why people add you to faves and dont message you,I know why..
pps if i looked at your profile it could be that pof tells me there's a chance that we're matched, possibly, or not as the case may be, dependent on your location, my location,birthsign, blood group, shopping habits, what you had for tea last night, and which way the wind is blowing too
ppps (last one promise) note to the people that run pof...maybe Essex is 36 miles away BUT ONLY BY BOAT

If your thinking about mailing me to say hi, here are couple of things about me to think about while you make your mind up
I'd give my right arm to be ambidextrous
I used to think I was indecisive, but now I'm not so sure.
I never make misteaks.
87.5% of all statistics are made up.
The technical term for "being unable to remember the word you want" is, uh ...
There are three types of people in the world: those who can count and those who can't.
The two rules for success are:
Number 1. Never tell them everything you know.
Number 2
There are 10 types of people: those who understand binary and those who don't.
Nostalgia isn't what it used to be.

Here are some of the things I’ve learnt about internet dating (and me) since I have been on here:
your as old as you feel, age is just a number
The one you fancy is always over 100 miles away
The one you don’t fancy lives in the same town and will most likely spot you in Tesco’s
I can tell why some women are single.
You can tell why some men are single
Getting older can make you picky
Athletic,thin and curvy means very different things to different people.
“Fun” has a million interpretations.
Chemistry has never been so important since you took it for O Level (I got an E)
"I won't bite - unless you ask me to". Is funny the first and second time, but not third
Eating healthy does not mean eating the lettuce in your McDonalds.
“Likes extreme sports” does not mean you rode that terrifying ride at Alton Towers.
Wearing trainers and jogging bottoms is not 'keeping fit'
The excuses for not having a photo could be a chapter on its own.
Talking on webcam is not always a good idea.
Women will sometimes be sucking their stomachs in on a photo.
Men will always be sucking their stomachs in on a photo.
Putting “my dog/cat/car is like my baby” doesn't make you cute.
The one you message is never interested in you.
The one who messages you is usually the one you are trying to avoid in Tesco.
5ft 8 sometimes means 5ft 6.
I get nervous before dates.
Knocking over a glass of wine or coffee onto someone’s lap and trying to mop it up is not a good idea on a first date.
The mirror in the pub toilet will always make your bum look much bigger than it did at home
The one you want to text you after a first date, doesn’t. The one you never want to see again calls and suggests Date 2 and she’ll see you in Tesco later anyhow
Paid dating sites do not guarantee quality.
Tall, intelligent and I work as Brad Pitt’s body double.. Oh ok...maybe not the last bit.. (and on reflection, the "Tall, intelligent" bit isn’t true either seeing as I'm on an internet dating site).
Somewhere she is reading this, gets my humour and can’t wait to meet me.

Men Are happier than women because..

Your last name stays put.
The garage is all yours.
Wedding plans take care of themselves.
Chocolate is just another snack.
You can never be pregnant.
Car mechanics tell you the truth.
You don't have to stop and think of which way to turn a nut on a bolt.
Same work, more pay.
Wrinkles add character.
People never stare at your chest when you're talking to them.
New shoes don't cut, blister, or mangle your feet.
One mood all the time.
Phone conversations are over in 30 seconds flat.
A 7 day holiday requires only one suitcase.
You can open all your own jars.
Your underwear is £9.50 for a three-pack. Three pairs of shoes are more than enough. You never have strap problems in public.
You are unable to see wrinkles in your clothes.
Everything on your face stays its original colour.
The same hairstyle lasts for years, maybe decades.
You only have to shave your face and neck.
You can play with toys all your life.
You can wear shorts no matter how your legs look.
You can 'do' your nails with a pocket knife.
You have freedom of choice concerning growing a moustache. You can do Christmas shopping for 24 relatives on 24th December in 24 minutes.


I would like to remind everyone out there not to judge a book by its cover, what you read in my profile isnt all there is, to illustrate this point take heed of the following..recently this year professor steven hawking contracted a chest infection, something that i was not aware of due to the fact that i dont really buy newspapers, or watch tv, except at weekends. He became hospitalized, again something i was not aware of. imagine my suprise then, to buy the weekend mail, and, on opening the paper, to be confronted with the headline 'professor steven hawking expected to make a full recovery'.....lol

POF..STOP TELLING ME TO LOOK AT PEOPLE FROM ESSEX... I DONT HAVE A BOAT...
AND FINALLY (really this time).... I'm starting an online business, dvd and a bottle of wine in a box, judging by this site i'll make a fortune...

not sure why this is relevant but i was about 12 and I cant remember her name but she had pigtails and......oh hang on this is what would I do on a first date...lol..errrrr lets see.... I dont mind what we do, I live by the coast, so maybe a walk along a coastal path or beach(whatever the weather) to a nice pub, and sit by an open fire with a nice bottle of wine and some food, and just chat, or maybe just a bag of chips and a walk along the beach, or a bottle of Champagne and watch the sunrise, or a drive out to a nice country pub for lunch...or just a coffee somewhere...why dont you choose.

can i just say something, and be serious for one minute... I go into this internet dating lark with an open mind, if I make new friends on here....and I have done , then great...but as for my ideal partner.....when I find her... I promise you'll be the first to know x phil
ps thanks for reading
