Taken middle of March 2008. I must get some new pics done, and ones that make me look a little happier. Hopefully I might even be a little more attractive that way!
I want to meet someone who wants me for me and loves me for who I am. Let's be honest here, I really can't imagine anyone wanting me for my body! I am looking for a best friend who can become a lover, not a lover who becomes a friend. Exclusivity, is very important. Whilst friends are very important, and I don't mind making any on here, I will make no bones about it, I am looking for that one best friend and lover! WARNING! I do have a bit of body hair, well a lot actually! Honesty is very important to me, and I am often far too honest for my own good, never saying 'the right things' to achieve something, and often saying the wrong thing even though I never mean it to sound in the slightest bit nasty. I consider fidelity to be very important, I believe in 100% Mahogany. I love many things, with a passion, and despise almost as many things with equal passion, a passion that most can only dream of. I love: Music (I won't be upset if you just skim through this list); The Fall, The Wombats, Tiesto, Armin Van Burren, The Crimea, John Martyn, Neil Young, Pink Floyd, The Buzzcocks, New Order, Embrace, Michael Nyman, Diamanda Gallas, Paul Oakenfold, The Diagram Brothers, Pink Military Stands Alone, Gavin Bryars, The Gossip, Phillip Glass, The Birthday Party, Coldplay, Snow Patrol, Nick Cave, Leonard Cohen, Joy Division, The Prodigy, Belle and Sebastian, Roddy Frame, Andrew Weatherall, Roger Sanchez, Primal Scream, Tackhead, Frank Sidebottom, The Velvelettes, Prince Far I, Culture, Misty In Roots, The Chemical Brothers, Beth Orton, KT Tunstall, P J Harvey, The Verve, Nick Drake, Mercury Rev, Rufus Wainwright, Martha Wainwright, Scissor Sisters, Athlete, Spiritualized, Johnny Cash, Antony & The Johnsons, The Flaming Lips, Editors, Gram Parsons, J.J.Cale, John Mayall, Led Zeppelin, Marianne Faithful, Roy Harper, Syd Barrett, Ry Cooder, Scott Walker, Gloria Jones, The Dead 60s, Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holliday, Nina Simone, The Young Knives, This Mortal Coil, Colourbox, Linton Kwesi Johnson, Eva Cassidy, The Cocteau Twins, The Undertones, Bob Dylan, Eels, Captain Beefheart, Paul Van Dyk, Sigur Ros, Grandaddy, The Smiths, The Durruti Column, Max Romeo, Fire Engines, Orange Juice, Camera Obscura, Lee "Scratch" Perry, The Justified Ancients of Mu Mu, The Railway Children, The Virgin Prunes, ... And The Native Hipsters, Ivor Cutler, The Stone Roses, etc. etc. (and a special prize for anyone who can guess which of the above bands I used to be in. I will post you a Creme Egg. And a box of Ferrero Rocher to anyone who can guess which of the above bands I once DJ'ed with in Liverpool); Art, from Da Vinci to Beuys; Romance, Skiing, Conversation, Walking, Films, QI, Stockings, Knowledge, Dancing, Live Music, Theatre, Museums and Galleries, Saucy Underwear, Colours, Eyes, Espresso Coffee, Public Affection, Poetry, my favourite poem is 'Howl' by Allen Ginsberg. And three of the great loves of my life, all now dearly departed, three men who greatly influenced my life Anthony H Wilson • John Peel • Jeff Nuttall. I despise: Manufactured Pop Bands, Boob Jobs, The Daily Mail, Txt Tlk (no wot I meen), American Tan Tights, Boy Racers with huge noisy exhausts driving around in things that look like a cross between a milk float, and an eggbox on wheels and sound like a clapped out lawnmower, Banks, Parsnips, Bigotry, Homophobia, Racism, Misogyny, Pop Sox, the corruption of the English language by the American 'Woteva' Generation, Drink Drivers, and right now tv talent shows. What am I looking for I am very fussy about my 'ideal' partner, and when you are as ugly as I am perhaps being so choosy is not a good idea. There is no set agenda as to how she should look, it is a cliché, and very often used erroneously, but personality is far more important than looks. Of course there has to be some physical attraction but we have to stimulate each other mentally as well as physically. I have no set perception of my 'ideal' partner, she may be tall, short, blonde, brunette or even bald, big breasted or flat chested, each attribute will be accepted as part of the greater person who I will grow to love. God that sounds pompous! Someone who perhaps shares some of my passions but is passionate about their own interests and can introduce me to them. Passion for life and all it has to offer is a must. I have put 'dating' as my 'looking for' option, ideally I am looking for that one best friend who becomes my best lover and accomplice in life, but I don't mind some friendly 'dating'. Can I stress though that dating is not a cover word for a quick fumble or a leg over! I am not interested in 'cyber sex', 'fone sex', 'text sex', 'telegram sex' or any other form of sex substitute, but I am of course very partial to the real thing. Actually no, I love sex, but adore sex with emotion, I think it is called making love! However that does not mean I am looking for sex. Have I confused you yet? URGENT UPDATE On reflection, if it is No Strings Attached sex you really want, then I suppose I could be persuaded! Buy me a bag of chips and I am yours. And for those of you who say something along the lines of "fed up meeting the same kind of people" or "men always use/cheat/betray me", perhaps you are always going for the same type of man, ultimately the wrong type of man. To quote Apple, "Think Differently", or to quote The Slits "Typical Girls get Typical Boys". I do hope I have not come across as bitter and twisted, I am perfectly balanced, I have a chip on each shoulder. Now I realise this profile may 'scare' a few people off, but there is no point in pretending to be something I am not in order to gain temporary popularity. If you like my profile, you might like me, but if you don't like my profile then you definitely will not like me. And finally, I think I should say a little about my name, as some seem to think it comes across as if I love myself. I do, but not in the arrogant, full of themselves type of way, more in the way I consider my actions to be genuine, I will take responsibility for my actions, and I try to be as lovely as I can. Anyway, the name, it is sort of an 'Oscar Wilde' type antithesis to the 'BigBoy' names that plague the interwebby thing. And I am hung like a hamster so I couldn't really call myself BigBoy! Oh and by the way, I had better just mention this. If I have clicked on your picture and you are miles away, and you are wondering why I viewed you. Well, when I have absolutely nothing better to do, after I have cut my toe nails and trimmed the longer hairs from my nose and ears, I often click on 'My Matches', then by selecting the most attractive woman I try and travel as far as I can. Great fun, honest!
First Date
A quiet drink (please note the spelling there, the e comes before the t, quite is a completely different word) in a small pub is probably best, or even just a coffee in Starbucks. I tend not to like a meal for the very first date as I love getting to know people, which does involve me talking about me (ever the egocentric) and you talking about you, and just maybe us talking about us. And you can't chat with a mouthful of curry and rice. And anyway, it is not really a date, that first meeting. It is purely a chance to see if any of the 'online spark' translates in to a real world interest, either romantically or just a friendship! However if we did go out for a meal, to quote Delboy from Only Fools & Horses, "you can tell the lucky lady she is guaranteed a steak meal, guaranteed". It would be great to go white water rafting down the Colorado River, but let's be realistic here, it is a bit hard to get to know someone whilst bouncing around in a wet crack with only a bit of rubber for protection. And I am still talking about white water rafting, no seriously, I am!
I am not really a lollipop Man. I had better admit to that before anyone is conned in to liking me by the seductive lure of that bright yellow uniform. I run a small Graphic Design Agency, mainly producing marketing and promotion material for artists, photographers and crafts people. Sadly it doesn't come with a uniform though, or a big lollipop with 'Stop Children' written on it, which I always considered would have been a slogan better used on a packet of 3.
