About Barosss

Barosss is widowed and is seeking females for friendship or a casual relationship.

My name is Ian. This is my first use of internet dating. Therefore, I am totally new.
My picture was taken late 2024. I live in South East Kent.

Why am I here?
• I lost my wife of 46+ years in September 2023. We were married in 1975 so all of our dating was pre-internet and in real life. I have 2 adult children who live in their own properties. I am looking for a female who wants a companionship possibly leading to a more serious relationship.

What you will get:
• A 70 year-old male (looking only 69 years old!) who is a type 2 diabetic. However, that is reasonably well controlled. Yes, I am overweight but my stomach doesn’t appear 5 minutes before you see me. I attend fitness classes and I walk a lot and I regard myself as reasonably OK for my age. No marathon running. I keep myself clean and I don't dribble. :-)
• Ex-police officer, can be cynical (that’s what the job leads to.) Now retired, I help out at a local senior citizen hub in the café and driving clients to hospital and surgeries.
• In the police we had diversity and inclusivity training, learning to treat everyone as equals. In real life I would like any partner to have her own interests and continue with them, as I would like to continue my interests. Any decisions by consultation between us both rather than one “just laying down the law”.
Self reliant and a problem solver.
• I am not a regular wine and dine person, just as happy with fish and chips.
• Introvert by nature but pushes himself to be extrovert. Can be very quiet and withdrawn at times. In the past I have suffered from depression/bi-polar. Whilst the worst has gone now, it does echo at times, especially in the wake of my wifes’ unexpected death.
• I can bore you silly with tech, or I can talk about most topics and not send you to sleep.
• I am into geek type things, radio control models, amateur radio and more.
Don’t think I am totally boring, I can be half boring if needed!
Dog lover, lost my last dog in January 2024, not sure if I will get another one at this stage.
• I am house trained and have knowledge of most household gadgets except the iron and the dishwasher. I can unload a dishwasher after it has done its thing.
• I have a sense of humour influenced by The Goon Show, Monty Python, Navy Lark and more modern times,
Paul Merton.
• Music: late 60s, 70s 80s. Northern soul. Motown. Reggae.
• NOT into soaps/reality tv. I like documentaries and history.

Hobbies/Interests:
• Amateur radio
• Reading
• Photography
• Computing and other tech.
• Radio control aircraft/ helicopters and drones.

What you won’t get:
• 6’6 hunk of sexy lanterned jawed sun bronzed Adonis.
• A rich person. (I am solvent, have my own house and teeth).
• A traveller, I don’t go away much, there is much to see in the UK before (if!) going abroad. I like Yorkshire/Derbyshire and similar.
• Someone going to expensive restaurants/hotels etc.
• A controlling/coercive personality (dealt with too much of that in my job).
• Chef-style cooking.
• A vegetarian/vegan or similar.
• Excitement!! I can be boring.
