This is an abridged resume of my life,from David. I am extra fit, intelligent and prefer to stay away from politics.My life has been one adventure after another,because I could not sit behind an office desk.

I might not be every lady's" Cup of Tea" as I have an English accent.

My values are that of a British gentleman. Love to laugh at silly things. Early riser.

I AM A REAL PERSON AND NOT A SCAMMER. EVEN I WAS IGNORANT OF THESE BAD INDIVIDUALS, WHEN FIRST BEGAN MY HOPE OF A FOREVER COMPANION.

I am an avid reader, the music of the '70s, '80s, and '90s.

TV Watcher, documentaries, movies, theater, and world traveler. I want a companion who loves animals. Since 17 that I have researched foreign herbs and imbibed supplements. I enjoy the surf, sun, hiking, walking,and above all else bicycling. I enjoy the open air and bike rides. My Viking Genealogy.

Lived in Southern California, Winnetka 91306 was my home, until  2017. (I am divorced).  I am a US citizen (1986).

Favorite place to bicycle in other country was Japanese prefectures.

In the British Navy Auxiliary, but discharged honorably after a bad accident.

Until 1979 worked on Luxury Cruise ships.
Resided in Northern Australia and searched for gold and mined Opals. (Been a long term, Treasure Hunter). Yucatan, Mexico, Belize, Central America, White Pine County, Nevada, and Arizona.

Worked for The United States Government on a digital map program. The Tiger Project)

I have succeeded in staying alive after numerous episodes, which include hit by a steel watertight door on board. Then in Skagway Alaska, running in a marathon against an Italian crew and startling an Eagle and nearly went over the edge and in N. Australia, attacked by dangerous ants and lived through a three-day coma and survived.

I became a Specialized investigator in an attorney's office.  Authored " How To" book on searching for missing Heirs and unclaimed Bank Accounts (550) pages. I wrote the manual on the subject and I am ready to publish it. If you want to know more, just text me with 'your name' . if interested in me, we will have to communicate long-distance for a while, as I am at my Grandmother's in Bloomington, Indiana. Always lived in the warm climates.

No addictions, including marijuana.

A short daily regimen of Isometric exercise since 17.

A clean, tidy and a domesticated, gentleman,
'real gentlemen' as raised. by my mother. Love to eat Mexican, Italian Sushi, etc, but not fussy. High FICO score in credit.

I am a Christian. but not a congregationalist.
I have a 3-year College Degree in Paralegal Studies. Also an Advanced degree from London Open University education.
13 Historical Map Guide books, designed by me of the West Coast. National Archives in Washington, DC.

That's abridged?!!

Do whatever you like but I'd advise to say just enough to get a conversation going.

There are some that may disagree. I believe it's way too much. Getting a conversation going with a "normal" person on sites like these is a matter of wit, charm, and humor with a dash of flirting not an overload of information.

Good luck!

This! ^ ^ ^ ^

A profile on a dating site is not meant for your life story. It is meant to briefly give an impression of who you are and what you're hoping to find.
Save the life story to tell someone once you've found them and even then I'd advise to not blurt that out in one go. It's something that you share bits and pieces of over time, when it comes up in conversation.

Can't agree more. I feel like saying "thanks for coming, you've got the job".
You sound like a great catch for the right lady. I wish you success in your search. :beers:

Oh wow, that was interesting but way too busy. It does sound like you have written a resume for a job. Women generally want an emotional connection, so I would advise telling them about your personal attributes that you have, like I am a good listener, (communication). I will hold the umbrella over you in the rain,(protection) etc.
Best of luck...:grinning:

Hi David waving you have put a lot of effort into your profile . .. including a glimpse into your past . You obviously are proud of your achievements . Lots of photos including some of you as young man . You have a cute little fur baby !!!

I would edit your opening line about your British accent . Do you know it was voted the sexiest accent of 2020 :heart: .

Not sure it is wise to post your name on your profile . There are many who may look to take advantage of that information .

You may have more success if you focus information and photos of you as you are now , rather than historical you .

Wish you the very best of luck bigsmile

Remove all the oldies photos, especially with the short shorts...you have a corgi I believe, did you mention you like animals? As others have said, trim it down. I usually say a lot too, maybe I need to trim mine down too.

How a person perceives 'themselves' should be no one's business. If you are who you are, there just might be someone out there for you. Hope so. :beers:
