Stuff about me.

Name: Robert Stubbs
Nickname: None
Age: 49
Astrological / Zodiac stuff: Western - Leo - Generous, warmhearted, creative, enthusiastic, broad-minded, expansive, faithful, loving, pompous, patronizing, bossy, interfering, dogmatic, intolerant

Chinese - Dog - Loyal, modest, dependable, out-spoken, eloquent, assertive, generous, patient, intelligent, well-meaning, playful, lively, out-going, versatile, quirky, nervous, quick-temper, restless, self-righteous, pessimistic, critical, petty, accusing, stubborn, hot-headed, rebellious, blunt, rash, sarcastic, eccentric
Orientation: Gay
Sex: Yes please. It's been so long, if it does ever happen again I'll probably find that I've forgotten what to do. Hopefully it's a bit like riding a bike (once learnt, never forgotten... mind you, I'll probably fall off a few times)
Group sex: Not yet
Relationships: Past - Casual sex, but nothing for years. Certainly never anything I would call a relationship. There have been men I've loved (or at least fancied like hell) and men I've had sex with but never the twain have met.
Present - Mother fist and her five daughters.
Despite how I may come across in some of the photos I am basically very shy (& at times chronically so). Unfortunately, most people judge a book by it's cover and don't invest any time getting to know the person. So when they see the image but come up against the shyness & lack of self confidence etc they probably just think I'm being rude or just not interested. Most of the time (out of necessity) I can ignore the fact that I'm still on my own. Sometimes I'm even glad I am, but not always. Sad innit.

Very nervous/hesitant drivers that turn me into an aggressive driver. People who get normally decent/good looking cars then get them in yellow.
