In His Own Words
About Him
I have been renting a cottage on a delightful wine farm in Durbanville, for the last ten years. I am retired now, and have to leave the cottage for various reasons, and had to part with my pets, which is breaking my heart. These changes have brought about my decision to not immediately have alternative accomodation. I am going to take a slow ride around the country. I have friends and family in Durban, Hermanus, Pretoria, Johannesburg, in which places I, myself have stayed for extended periods of my life. except Hermanus.. I will now settle in any place that suits my circumstances.
Find me a bright lady,and I will talk openly with her, and show what a close and faithful understanding person I am with the person who is right for me. I do not believe I have hurt anyone, but I have been hurt more times than I want to,and I avoid circumstances that could hurt me again. I reckon what I really would like is a companion, who has similar philosophies to mine. I believe:
The Abrahamic religions of the world, do more harm than good.
You do not need anything or anybody to tell you what is immoral, and what is not. You just know.
I have a good sense of humour and a very good brain, but a weakening body.
here is an example of my sense of humour:
The oldest philosopher, is well over 100,000,000 (one hundred million years) old. The philosopher's name is Tortoise. I say:
Tortoise
taught us,
if you want to get somewhere,
you've got to stick your neck out.
About His Ideal Match
My ideal match will be a lady wanting a close relationship with a man like me.
I sometimes equate my life to a long distance flight on an international airline.
During take off, all persons are tense, until the plane is safely airborne, and the "loosen seat belts" light flashes. The take off period is similar to falling in love, starting a propfession, getting married, having kids and work off your long term debts with all the stress that goes with that.
Then the plane levels off, and for the majority of the flight it is relatively non eventful. There might be turbulance from time to time. That i equate to the period when your kids are educated, are moving out of the home, and as so often happens, the relationship between Husband and wife also becomes non eventful, in my case ending in divorce, and my enthusiasm towards my profession. why am I working? and you realise that you are getting towards the end of the exercise.
The last movement of the trip is the landing and disembarking, with the consequent collection of baggage from the rotunda. That is a period like a wake up. your mind was relatively switched off during the long flight, but the landing always sharpens your mind. it is then that a person thinks about where to from now. is he going home to an empty apartment? is someone meeting you/? someone with whom you look forward to seeing and discuss what you have just done. it is that period in my life that I am at. At the end of the flight. I seek a reason to get off that plane. something/one that makes me keen to do so.
if you believe you can fill that roll, then please contact me, and let us see if we can both fill that roll.
