G’day! I’m a 54-year-old widower in Sydney. I’m a laid-back, funny bloke looking for a meaningful connection with someone who’s curious, genuine, and doesn’t rely on filters (or painted eyebrows). A Bit About Me:

• Background: I’ve had a full-on life, with varied jobs (office jobs, teaching jobs, action jobs, driving jobs) and lots of travel to some interesting places, which I can (and do) tell funny stories about at any opportunity. Now, I’m embracing a slower pace due to a spinal injury (I’m not paralysed). My passions include photography (sport, landscape, portrait, boudoir), storytelling (especially funny takes on my life of mishaps), and indulging my eclectic music tastes – from metal to classical, city pop to hard rock, jazz and funk.

• Lifestyle: I enjoy an occasional drink (my limit is 1 per day, I’m a cheap drunk), but can’t handle smokers (I quit years ago and… yeah). I’m a home body (obviously, with a spine injury), but would enjoy finding new things to experience in the right company (even better if you can do some of the driving). Monogamy is vital, I don’t share well. I do, however, offer stability, warmth, a safe space, and the experience to navigate life together.

• Interests: My idea of fun is diving into documentaries (on almost anything, but especially crime, history and nature), action films (I grew up on James Bond), or writing crime and action fiction. I’m a big fan of true crime and investigations, as a carry-over from my former life, and love teaching, informing, and educating. I’ve not been too active lately, for obvious reasons, but I’d love to have someone to help keep me motivated.

• Beliefs: A proud left-leaning atheist and queer ally, I value honesty, loyalty, and someone who appreciates a genuine partnership. Bigots or the religiously devout? Probably not the match for me. I’m pretty outspoken on my dislike for these types of cretins.

• Physical Details: I’m 176cm (5’10”), 110kg (240lbs), dad bod (beefy), not very hairy, with a relaxed sense of style (that means I dress like a dag). I’m content in my own skin (aka ugly) and looking for someone who values connection over aesthetics (aka you’re okay with me being ugly or have poor eyesight and low standards).

What I’m Seeking:

A petite, emotionally mature woman, and looking for an age-gap dynamic. Race, skin colour, background, and the like are not big issues, at least some secondary or higher education – or the ability to think critically and enjoy stimulating conversations – are though.

I have learned a lot about a wide range of things and I’d like to be the one to help you explore and understand more about the world, other people, and yourself.

While local is ideal, I’m open to further afield if the vibe is right and you’ve contemplated relocating somewhere like The Great Southern Land either temporarily or permanently. I’ve also contemplated relocating to Southeast Asia down the track (years into the future perhaps).

I’m all in for establishing a long-term connection and your kinks are very welcome. If you’ve read this far, you’re looking for someone steady, fun, nurturing, and a bit cheeky, drop me a message and tell me who your favourite serial killer is! Let’s start an adventure together.
