Other | | Dutch term or phrase: welgezind | Interview with a Flemish eyewear designer, who counts Bill Gates among his clientele (!). Some styles sold under the name Theo. "Well-disposed" seems rather inadequate!
Een Theo-drager is welgezind
[
] Het maken van een nieuw brillenframe neemt ongeveer zes maanden in beslag, er komt nog handwerk aan te pas. Voor de distributie valt de keuze op gelijkgezinde, zelfstandige opticiens, die zich willen onderscheiden van andere zaken en openstaan voor een bepaalde samenwerking. Iemand die een bril van ons draagt is welgezind, individualistisch, extravert, redelijk zeker van zijn stuk, onderstreept graag zijn persoonlijkheid en koopt dus geen bril om lang te dragen. Hij wil sneller afwisselen. |

| Grading comment Good-natured might be closest in meaning to welgezind, but it just doesn't seem to fit into the list. Would a trendy eyewear designer really want to appeal to good-natured spectacle wearers?? Like Bill Gates???? ;o)) I think positively minded goes well with the rest, or perhaps "a positive mindset". Thanks to everyone for their contribution.
