In His Own Words
About him
Why should people get to know me?
Well one reason, I suppose, is that I can be great fun. I am, I think, a thoughtful extravert who laughs a lot and loves making connections between people. And above all is good at friendship: I value my male and female friends very much and spend a lot of time with them.
Those friends might say that I am kind, loyal, empathetic and considerate. And that I talk and listen well. I love long, languid lunches where conversation spirals across the afternoon.
What else do I love? Well, good food and wine, of course, and popular music in all its forms (I am a member of a music as well as a book and a discussion group). And playing tennis and swimming and poker and going to the cinema (especially Bafta in Piccadilly) and reading and politics and pyschology and, well, life.
About his ideal match
I am looking for someone who is still excited about life and its possibilities.
Someone who is a feminist or at least sympathetic to feminism.
Someone who has had several successful relationships and has learned from them all even when - well especially when - her heart has been broken (and someone too who has broken one or two hearts as well)
Above all, someone who has passion, who loves talking about ideas and culture, who understands when the personal is political and that there is 'no success like failure and failure's no success at all.'
What His Friends Say
Richard said...
I have known David since 1987 and he is one of my best friends. We have been on holiday together overseas - Greece, Portugal and Egypt - and have shared quite a few amusing moments. He is great company as David is intelligent, insightful, sympathetic and is usually (!) able to see things from different angles to his own. He is very loyal as a friend and is one of those people you could ring at 3 in the morning if you found yourself in a crisis. He is a thoughtful, curious person, but there is also lighter, playful side. When David has hit turbulent times, he always bounces back. He is quite self-contained, more so than me, and is someone who loves a creative work project of some kind.
Occasionally, he can be stubborn and opinionated, but that doesn't seem to matter as the overall picture is of someone who usually exudes a very decent sort of humanity. I can't remember any of his jokes or stories, but they're usually funny - despite the occasional turkey!!
Richard.
