Hello! I'm a 27-year-old man in Melbourne, Australia. I'm a counsellor, and also host a podcast discussing psychology. I'm a massive lover of music; it has great meaning in my life and is an amazing form of emotional stimulation, and I write songs and plan to one day play in a band. Outside of it all, I love to spend time with people in the company of nature or animals (brushing horses and throwing balls for dogs, anyone?), have a good conversation, crack jokes (I challenge you to have a wackier sense of humour than me!), and enjoy good food. You may also find me working with my hands on projects occasionally. I'm around 5'10", Mediterranean, slim and well-built, and have dark and extremely short hair. I'm equal parts thinker and doer; I'm passionate about trying to be the best that I can be in every aspect of my life and enjoy the challenge of examining and learning about the world, setting goals for myself, engineering my life, and helping others. I'm a free thinker, so within reason I'm not just looking to associate with people who share all of my values; I want to learn about others' perspectives and see the humanity in people.

I'm seeking a long-term, monogamous relationship with my eventual soul mate, as well as solid friendships. I've decided that I want to remain child-free and live separately from my partner, as I believe that not being co‑dependent creates freedom for us to enhance each other's lives. As long as you're at least 18 (of course!), I'm not as concerned about your age or background; I'm seeking mutual attraction, intuitive chemistry, and the willingness to properly get to know each other, listen, and commit. I'm a celibate, but other forms of physical and emotional affection are fundamental to me, so I'll want to exchange warm snuggles, cute glances, and genuine words of affirmation.

While I'm happy to meet a range of people, I do have my deal-breakers. I am only seeking in‑person relations with people in Melbourne. My hard limits are smoking, excessive alcohol usage, narcotics, crime, and extremism. Please also be emotionally available, communicative, willing to enter in to respectful discussions if we don't agree, and please don't ghost!
