Dave Grohl
approach to life and appearances

The following is a description of Dave's basic stance toward life, the way others see him, the way Dave Grohl comes across, the face he shows to the world. In the page about motivation you will read about the inner Dave Grohl - his real motivation, which describes the kind of person he is at heart and where his true priorities lie. Study this page and the next one and compare them - there may be significant differences between the two, in which case "the inner Dave Grohl" may not shine through and others may be in for so a few surprises once they get to know Dave a little better. This page describes the disguise Grohl wears, his role in life, while the page about motivation talks about the real person beneath the disguise.

Cautious, prudent, and rather self-contained, he is a person who approaches life realistically and who is not inclined to take foolish chances or get carried away by the overly optimistic or idealistic schemes of starry-eyed dreamers. In fact, Dave Grohl frequently has a jaundiced view of such things. He is rather worldly-wise at a fairly young age, even somewhat of a cynic. Often the world does not seem like a safe, friendly place to Grohl, and he tends to approach life in a guarded, conservative manner. He is generally calculated and careful, and is rarely spontaneous, fluid, open, and childlike.

He is pragmatic, shrewd, and an excellent strategist, carefully planning his moves for maximum effectiveness and advantage. He is willing to work long and persistently for what he wants and he often does things the hard way. Dave does not expect others to take care of him and sometimes refuses or simply does not seek any outside help. He is often very ambitious, but quietly so. There is nothing flamboyant or flashy about his approach. He is very responsible, conscientious, and concerned with his duties to others and how he comes across socially - his "rank" so to speak.

To others Dave Grohl seems mature, serious, quiet, reflective, and emotionally detached. Dave dislikes sloppy sentimentality and will not openly display his feelings, especially the more tender ones. Grohl likes to always appear poised and in control; and he hates to show any weakness, vulnerability, or chinks in his armor.

Dave Grohl respects tradition and the time-honored way of doing things, and he feels that there is much to be gained from studying history and also by learning from older, more experienced people. A wise mentor or father is often Grohl's guide in life, and he in turn develops a great deal of hard-earned wisdom, which he likes to impart to younger people.

Dave Grohl has a stern, authoritarian, no-nonsense aspect to his personality. He expects much from himself and may not give himself enough leeway to experiment and make mistakes.

He also tends to be rather close-fisted, to save and conserve his money and resources rather than spending or enjoying them. Dave Grohl spends money on things of quality and of lasting value, things which are good investments, but not frivolous, temporary pleasures. There is a bit of the ascetic in him. Dave exercises great self-discipline and self-control and he can "do without" very well. His tastes are generally understated and simple.

Though he may have other, more colorful and imaginative sides, the face Grohl shows the world is modest and rather conservative.

Dave Grohl comes across as contained, and perhaps wary or mistrustful as well. He watches his step, and frequently withdraws if his environment does not feel welcoming and safe. As a result, Grohl may seem much more conservative than he actually is. Dave is wary of committing social blunders and is extremely sensitive to criticism or rejection. As he matures, Dave Grohl's confidence is likely to grow because he will learn to depend more on his own self-assessment..

Dave Grohl seems to enjoy projecting a different image of himself to others, giving them a false impression of himself. He is inclined to associate with odd and peculiar people and is likely to have very strange romantic relationships.
