As the title says, trying to step into the dating world after just over a year.

I'm a postgrad doing International Relations, 6'1", S.E. Asian, and I write news articles on national security related topics (have written and had my first article on a China-Taiwan hypothetical conflict published by my main uni newspaper) where I hope I can secure a government job once I graduate or during my time in uni.

I also like playing a bit of video games like Project Zomboid, Re4 remake and American Truck Sim where I have a dedicated YT ASMR channel for relaxing sounds of truck driving.

Looking for athletic/lean/muscular Caucasian guys between 18-22 preferably who are transfem friendly. I do find U.S. country (Southern guys with the drawl/Midwestern), Baltic and Balkan/Slavic guys (Central, Southeastern, Eastern Europe) attractive as a matter of preference.

May be open to dating US military guys since I've gotten a few messages of guys from the states a while back. To the front of the lines if you're a military guy.

If however you also happen to live in Brisbane regardless of my type in guys, that's a big bonus. I am only interested in guys between 18-22 as a soft limit and 18-28 as a hard limit however. Do not message me especially if you're a guy twice my age and above. Seriously.

Personality wise, I'm very affectionate and emotionally supportive, capacity to be very vulnerable to the right guy or around one or two close friends.

Would like a guy to take a chance with me in having a stable, long lasting and hopefully permanent relationship. A guy who is emotionally intelligent. Must also be good at convos as I have no tolerance for guys who simply give one or two word answers and having to initiate or ask questions every single time.

Any interested applicants, include 'orange' in your messages. No low effort messages please. Will not reply to throwaway accounts or w/o post history, and guys simply asking me to look at my article.

(If I feel we're close enough for a relationship then maybe I'll show you my article. But I am not willing to show strangers so they can be entertained and I leave empty handed after a false hope in someone prospectively interested in my post. At the end of the day, I'm looking for a relationship, if you want simple chats, go look for someone else to bother)

Also I'm not interested in talking and a guy being MIA for days or just a flat out refusal to talk when you clearly seen my messages asking "How are you?" especially through D*scord.

Been burned hard too many times by guys who I engage in depth conversations with but then decided to dip out for no reason. If you're one of those guys, don't waste my time.
