In His Own Words
About Him
I'm going to list a few things about me in no particular order ... maybe it gives you an idea whether I am what you may be looking for:
Sport and health are very important to me. I compete hard but need to enjoy what I do. Keen multisport athlete. Love the outdoors and open space.
My own photographic work hangs on my walls. I can paint in oils as well as with Dulux. I have a sharp wit, part quick, part sophisticated, sometimes sarcastic, never ill-meaning. Enjoy being mentally challenged. Get bored if not. Wit and humour rank highly. I have traveled to many places in the world and small dorpies in our very own country. Love travelling. Tastes: Sophisticated and unique.
Work: Technology. (No, I don't fix Windows desktops or the office printer) . Done the overseas work thing, wouldn't hurt to do another, maybe.
Don't suffer fools gladly. Know that Venus and Mars are not just planets in our solar system. Have integrity. Fast paced. Don't do queues or shopping malls. Can walk with kings - nor lose the common touch. Enjoy being challenged mentally. Enjoy a variety of music from classical to rock but don't do hip-hop or country.
Need my own space from time to time. That could mean me doing my thing while you do yours in the same space / area. Won't cook for myself but happy to do so for 2 or more. Enjoy fine cuisine, but won't hesitate to slap together whatever when on the move.
For those that know the 5 Love Languages (Gary Chapman), mine are (in order): Physical Touch, Acts of Service, Quality Time, Words of Affirmation, Receiving Gifts, with the last three getting very few points. (It's a book worth reading)
For now, just checking out the scene ...
Leave it with you ... ;-)
About His Ideal Match
You're different, charming, independent, sophisticated, reasonably well-read, educated and going places (as defined by you). You've seen a bit of the world and appreciated the diversity it has to offer. Not a slave to norms and convention. Good health, well-being and get-up-and-go are important to you. Material things are nice but not your driving force. You have an inner strength and confidence, all with a cool wickedness that smacks of impulsiveness, fun and a daring for adventure. You have an appreciation of this planet, it's flora and fauna and realise how precariously balanced it all is right now.
Your quick wit and sharp mind are up there with the best of them. No pushover, but also not one constantly trying to assert herself (it gets tiring).
Normally tall / leggy, firm, fit with dark hair are the physical characteristics that will turn my head, but that is not necessarily cast in stone. Ideally, you have some physical activity that you pursue from time-to-time. The word 'presence' perhaps is the one that will entice me. That said, somehow an appealing intellect, a wicked sense of humour and a streak of naughtiness inevitably trumps raw physical beauty (as generally defined by society-at-large).
If your profile narrative is one of those two-liners beginning with something like "I am a fun-loving, outdoorsy, adventurous ..." or "I am just as comfortable going out as I am staying in with a DVD ... " , then here endeth the lesson. Good luck elsewhere. I'll need more than that to work with.
Also, if drugs (or drug history) is (was) your thing, then forget it. The same probably applies if you've ever been labelled an ice queen or if you've checked Power and Wealth as turn-ons.
Location, location, location. "Johannesburg, Gauteng". That's 1645kmē. #justsaying.
If you are an "occasional smoker" then best "occasional" be in 72-point, bold and "smoker" in 8-point, normal.
If you're dead-set on starting a family, then I'm probably not your guy.
You tread lightly on this Earth.
