Pastorale, 68 - Bathurst

The most important attribute I am looking for in a relationship is intellectual compatibility. In this area I am a bit of a mixed bag. While I had an academic schooling, my tertiary education was technical. However, I have not stopped reading all my life (mostly non-fiction in many areas), and I am highly intelligent. I am looking for a woman who likes being challenged, especially verbally, and who gives as good as she gets!

I feel that, once we match intellectually, and barring any dealbreakers, there's a pretty good chance we'll hit it off in other areas. Once you have a union of two minds, the rest should fall into place. Don't you agree?

I realise this sounds a little sterile and humourless - but not so! To have a partner with whom one is well-matched, witwise, and with whom one can strike sparks, is one of life's great gifts. And to make obscure allusions and have them understood, and returned with interest, is great fun.

So...there's not much else to say. Originally from KZN, I am in the EC temporarily, but there's no reason that it can't become permanent. I have a large house that I'm running, remotely, as a BnB. I love music, and in many ways I feel that it is the most important thing in life - so much of our wellbeing depends on music. I was a software developer most of my working life. I'm semi-retired now, but still enjoy writing programs. Theatre, art, quizzes, party games, cats. I am content, but I would love to share my contentment with a woman.

A woman (40 - 70)

There's little point in describing my ideal match - I have basically said it all above. I could specify all sorts of things here, but there's no guarantee that a woman who fits what I am looking for, would match these further requirements. So why do it? Intellectual compatibility is paramount!
