Professional woman with own well established business in the medical sector. I'm a Northern Lass - being held hostage in Scotland - please save me!

Open & honest, & vital in a partner. Wicked cheeky sense of humour. Intelligent, attractive, independant, solvent (but not in a chemical way!) quick dry wit, loving, kind, ridiculous & occasionally annoying! I'm currently 'cuddly', but a work in progress. Have considered hacksawing off a leg as an 'instant aid' to weight loss but I still wouldn't be a size 12, & the logistics of using the cross trainer are just too dificult to work out. Spend up to 2 hours per day in the gym (no, not in the cafe - cheeky!) or walking, & am quite fit. Travel regularly to NW & London for business.

I'm strictly monogamous, & injustice, insincerity, prejudice, dishonesty, snobbery & cruelty of any kind are my pet hates. Non religious, but believe in treating others as you wish to be treated yourself. I feel that the kindness you show to others will be returned to you 10 fold (hey, it works for me!).

Enjoy the theatre, art, music (motown, soul, classical), art, architecture, reading (yes, I can read too! Aren't I amazing?). I'm romantic & quite sentimental too - what do I miss most of all now that I don't live in the 'North' anymore? Being called 'Love' - miss the feeling of belonging & warmth that that little word evokes. Enjoy a good debate on most subjects - intelligent or even ridiculous ones! Love observational humourists like Peter Kay & Bill Bailey. The Office, Frasier, Monk, Have I Got News For You, About a Boy, Love Actually, The Shipping News, What's Eating Gilbert Grape?, East is East - all classics to me.

Done a lot of gliding, hang gliding & jumped out of the odd plane in the past (no, I wasn't pushed!). Currently relearning French & Spanish. Decided not to reattempt the Russian - sometimes still struggle with English! 

Looking for that well honed, verbal sparring sense of humour - usually genetically implanted in Northern & Glaswegian men. Mutual intelligent comedic slagging a must! But, if you're married/engaged/want a photo of my stilettos/about to marry your pony, please don't contact me!

Professional man, or a guy who takes pride in a job well done preferred. Compassionate enough to help a stranger in need - & not just walk on by.

Kind, intelligent, tactile, loving, romantic, aware, thoughtful, sharp witted man sought for social networking &/or romance. Looks irrelevant, but a medium to bigger build preferred. Animal lover (platonic only) especially dogs & an interest in nature (no, not naturism) preferred. Would you like to be a caretaker at Rainbows Bridge?

If my profile lights a spark in you, then please get in touch. If not, good luck in the search to find you soul mate, or just some good friends. 

Amusing Contradiction is 47 years old and lives in the Central region. She is separated with no children. She's 5' 0" tall and of cuddly build. She's a non-smoker, who drinks occasionally. She is looking for dating and romance, friendship.
