In His Own Words
About Him
As I state on my byline, I am the real deal. I am unlike most, if not all, the other men you are likely to encounter on this site, ever. And why? Hold on to your seat. This may sound egotistical, and it's not all good, but it's all true. Every woman here says she values honesty. Well, here it is.
First, the good stuff. We could be compatible if...
...you enjoy both having serious, deep and meaningful conversations, on just about any subject, as well as being totally flippant, irreverent and not serious on the same subjects.
...you enjoy physical touch, intimacy and closeness.
...you understand that, along with all the fun and laughter we will have, that there will also be a time for introspection, solemnity, and even sadness.
...you don't mind being seen with someone who looks like a hobo, and ten years older than he really is! Well, maybe not that bad, but I do look older than my 66 years ;(
About His Ideal Match
Now the negatives.
I am amusing, interesting and erudite company. If we begin chatting, and you don't see evidence of this in a short while, it's simply because you are not inspiring me. It takes two to hold a conversation, and I expect a similar contribution from you. If you are unable to supply that, we're not compatible.
I am HIGHLY intelligent, and I am a member of Mensa. If you don't know what that is, we're not compatible.
Further, we are not compatible if...
...your idea of fun is binge-watching series. Bonus points if you don't even HAVE a TV ;)
...you are into saving the world.
...you have no books in your house.
...you insist on your partner's sharing your beliefs.
...you are into motorbikes, smoking, or tattoos.
...you don't understand any of the words I've used in this profile.
So, what do you say? Do you accept the challenge? Since that's what life with me will be, in many ways. Don't bother if you don't want to be extended. If you reply to me, without some explanation of why you think we might be compatible, I won't bother responding. It will mean that you haven't taken seriously what I say here.
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.
