I've just retired (early) because I believe I have 'enough' to live comfortably. I'm a 55 year old British/Canadian male, with dual citizenship, who was an international computer consultant in the 80s and 90s. I traveled for over 40 contracts, moving city to city and country to country every 6-9 months. That took a heavy toll on my personal life.

Now I'd like to find happiness.

I'm a one woman man looking for a one man woman. I don't 'butterfly' as I believe neither love, nor intimacy, can be found in the arms of a stranger. To be curt - I'm looking for love not just sex.

I'd like to get a small house with a yard big enough to have a pet dog (I had several as a child but my job meant I could not have any pets). It would be a wonderful life to also have a nice girl, friend or wife who would be happy with "enough" and not need 2,000B every day to party with.

Personally I like to be clean, showering more than once most days and I love soaking in a bathtub - often reading sci-fi novels :), dress nice and have nice things.

I think I have enough saved to pay for a decent life, food, clothes, transportation, housing, entertainment etc but not enough to travel the world (plus I'm tired of that) or go drinking and partying every night.

With the right woman we could have a garden, or not, chickens, or not, raise logans, or not, maybe even have kids if that's something you really want, or not. I'm flexible - I'm just looking to relax, enjoy and be happy and to share that with someone special.

Background Info: Due to my frequent moves and high-pressure job I ate and drank a lot every day. I ballooned out to 149kg and was in terrible shape. That was 8-9 years ago. Since then I stopped working, then I stopped drinking and started exercising. Now I have lost about 60kg and have no desire to put that weight back on. I am in the best shape since my early 20s and still want to lose another 18kg. So I can't drink alcohol every day, I prefer water and I prefer to eat lots of veggies and Thai food more often than falang food. I can eat pretty much anything including spicy dishes. To be honest I don't like dancing with strangers but I love to dance with someone I care for. As for the drugs mentioned above: I smoke - nothing else - and only occasionally when I'm sad or down (I'm not always happy being alone
