In His Own Words
About Him
Hi,
Guess what attribute I have that makes me irresistible to women? I like eating leftovers!
If that doesn't work for you (how could it not?), maybe you'd better keep reading.
I live mainly in my mind. While I am active physically, I think deeply, and ponder broadly on life's questions. While not well-qualified formally, (I have a technical diploma), I am a member of Mensa, which at least shows that I can solve puzzles! And the puzzle of how to meet the right woman online, is one that is taxing me right now!
I am well-read in science and literature, and still read voraciously, most of which is non-fiction. At the same time I seldom take life too seriously, and do my best to see the lighter side of things. I am verbally acute and articulate. I like quizzes, and belong to a pub quiz group.
If you are highly qualified and feel that I won't match you intellectually, I herewith cast the gauntlet!
I am passionate and almost fiercely demonstrative. If I fall in love with you, your earlobe will be constantly shredded.
I have been a software developer most of my working life, but I am now semi-retired, and running my house as a BnB. Which in this case means Bed, No Breakfast! I hardly cook for myself - why should I cook for anyone else? It is a large house, on a large property in an upmarket suburb.
I am very handy, and enjoy building and fixing things. I am a bit of a gourmand, and by travelling in Europe I have been spoiled for life by French food and Scottish shortbread. I drink alcohol only occasionally, and don't use any other intoxicants. I appreciate art, LOVE music, enjoy theatre - but not song-and-dance shows. Jigsaw puzzles and party games. Cats.
On the downside, I do suffer from minor depression, which I am convinced stems from my 5 years at a boys' boarding school (Michaelhouse). It is not debilitating, and I'm not on meds, but I do get struck by occasional bouts of sadness, more than anything else.
About His Ideal Match
If you know who all, or most, of the people in my byline are, we have a chance.
I need someone who is also a thinker, but who lives light - no stress, and plenty of humour.
Those are my only sine qua nons. An outdoorsy person would be nice, and a music lover would be a bonus.
BTW, my daughter-in-law (see below) has recently completed her PhD in psychology. Attagirl!
What His Friends Say
Johrine Cronje said...
Dave is my father-in-law, and I've known him for about 3 years.
He is a very well balanced man. He appreciates the deeper things in life, but lives life light. He has a very good sense of humour, and a good laugh is guaranteed, with Dave by your side.
He is very intentional and practical. The things he says and does are thought through. Although an introvert, who likes to understand how things work, he also loves people. This is evident in the way he treats those around him. My favourite thing to do with Dave is to build jigsaw puzzles together. Our quality time is spent in interesting conversations and comfortable moments of silence.
A gentle natured woman who can dive deep and swim shallow would suit Dave well. Someone who can give, just as freely as she receives.
