Gay White Man, interested in chat and email with other interested / interesting males in particular. This is the first time I have said it on my profile, just coz it is an important part of me, and experience seemed to suggest it is better to be up-front. Now am wondering if that is correct as it seems to be taken by many as the only thing of importance about me. I'm not a misogynist, have plenty of women friends, but so far we have never managed to form meaningful friendships online.

Lived some years in Africa and can have brief conversation​s in some languages from there.

I have a lot of thoughts about climate change (especially where it is already causing people to be hungry), Peak Oil, peace and justice, the nanny state, etc.

I am a good listener, been through a lot myself so can often understand others.

Also have MSN - email me through site for address.
Photos may be sent after contact - if you add me to Yahoo Messenger I usually have a screenpic there. (But this only works on Messenger, not if chatting from inbox).

I am no longer accepting friend requests as it seems to make life more complicated.​ In no way should that discourage communicatio​n leading to the possibility of genuine friendship, which seems to me to be more important than a list of names.

If you look at my profile and don't leave a message, still I will view yours, regardless of your age, sex, location, so homophobes (and others) need not assume I am 'hitting' on them. Sad that I feel the need to write this innit.

Men of all ages, especially from Africa, Asia, South America, feel free to add me to Yahoo Messenger - wet0blanket - or email me through this site. But happy to talk to anyone.

NO WOMEN LOOKING FOR RELATIONSHIP​ PLEASE. Some people don't read this if it is not in capitals it seems. Some people don't read it at all, I notice.

Justice for the poor, working to make the world a better place, singing.

"He's a bit of a wet blanket"​ they used to say about me, so it is a joke against myself.
