The Plant Guy, 58 - Durban

Upside: Loyal. Faithful. Creative. Hard-working. Solid. Pragmatic optimist. Empathetic listener. Compassionate. Ambitious (in a quiet way). Healthy sense of humour. Lifelong reader. Lifelong student. A thinker who tries to take the long view. Financially astute and stable. Animal lover (I don't eat their bodies or anything stolen from them). INFJ.

Downside: I can be selfish (and I can be incredibly generous). Critical (of self and others) but through meditation and other practices, I have made good progress in recent years to accept things as they are. I can be contradictory, competitive, and sometimes my decisions may be difficult to understand. Sometimes I battle to make a decision. It's maddening. Just like you, I am a complex and complicated being. Being a human animal isn't easy for any of us.

Not a group person. I am a free spirit who is fine with solitude, but would love to share part of my life with a like-minded woman.

My passions are living in harmony with nature, being outdoors, propagating plants, traveling to tropical locations in South America and SE Asia, and growing my own food.

A woman (45 - 60)

A mentally strong, adventurous, athletic, hard-working woman who wants to live close to nature, and create an off-grid life in a partnership. Someone who feels deeply connected with the rest of nature, who loves plants and botany, eating exotic fruits and vegetables, is fascinated by Earth's ecosystems. Someone who wants to rely less on the current financial system and become increasingly self-sufficient.

I value kindheartedness, gentleness, a woman who is a good communicator: who speaks her mind, and who is able to listen just as well.

A focus on maintaining health (physically and mentally) is very important to me. Smoking and drinking alcohol are self-abuse in my opinion, so I'm looking for someone on the same page on this topic. If the Daily Dozen means anything to you, we'll be in harmony about food choices.

Ideally, you'd be interested in most of these: nature, the outdoors, fitness, the ocean, permaculture, travel, trail running, hiking, photography, investing/financial independence.
