TOWARDS A NEW BEGINING

I Can Speak

English, German, Other

I Would Describe Myself As

I AM A SINGLE (DIVORSED), RETIRED PERSON, LIVING ON MY OWN IN A RETIREMENT VILLAGE IN PRETORIA AND LOOKING FOR FRIENDS OR, AT BEST, A PARTN. I AM HONEST, DECENT, CLEAN, TRUSTWORTHY, CARING AND LOVING - LOOKING FOR A YOUNGER BOY FRIEND/PARTNER BETWEEN 25-50, BUT THAT'S NOT CARVED IN STONE. I AM STILL REASONABLY IN "ONE PIECE" AND LIVE IN PEACE WITH ALL - IF POSSIBLE! ONE PART WHICH IS NOT SO WELL FUNCTIONING HAS BEEN WITH ME SINCE DAY 1 - MY EYES - I'M PARTIALLY SIGHTED & EVEN WITH GLASSES OR, IF YOU WISH, "EYE GLASSES". I AM ALSO TOTALLY COLOUR BLIND. THAT IS JUST PART OF ME. IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO ACCEPT THAT, TOO BAD AS I CANNOT CHANGE THAT EVER. MY MOTTO IS "BY THE GRACE OF GOD, I AM WHO AND WHAT I AM" - INCLUDING THE FACT THAT I AM OLDER NOW AND GAY - YES, EVEN ALL OF THAT IS PART OF THE PACKAGE DEAL. FOR MANY YEARS, I HID BEHIND HUGE WALLS, BUT NO MORE - BUT TIMES WERE DIFFEENT IN THOSE EARLIER YEARS AND BEING GAY WAS MUCH LESS ACCEPTED THAN TODAY - AND EVEN TODAY IT IS NOT FREE OF HOMOPHOBIA.
