I'm a 69 year old gay man who has recently retired from full-time work. I lived for over 20 years in Sydney but recently sold my home there to relocate to my birth city, Melbourne. I have a network of friends here, most of them younger than me, and a still-active lifestyle. Whilst I am fit and financial enough to live alone, I feel that sharing is what makes a life worth living. I have a lively intelligence (I am a published author) and enjoy engaging with others who feel connected with the world. Cooking, when not just for myself, I consider a pleasure. At the same time, I also value my privacy. It 's all about balance and respect. And the right "fit".
