Hey Redditors,

I'm trying to find nice, genuine, cool people. People who just get up in the morning, think about when they're going to get coffee, get to the office, aren't the asshole in the room that no one likes, have lunch with friends (maybe Vietnamese? or that nice burger place), go home and make a decent dinner before going to the gym by themselves where they don't take d*ck pics in the toilet. Those kinds of people, with normal, everyday lives.

I'm kind, genuine, positive, open, honest, loving and loyal. As a result, I don't have energy for bullshit, baggage, moaning, and pointless negativity. I am NEVER bored, and I don't really understand how so many people can be. I will expend the same amount of energy on you as you do on me.

I have heaps of awesome female friends already. My male best friend lives interstate and has a partner now, so I wouldn't mind expanding my circle of male friends. I have two older brothers and worked in IT for a long time so I find men easy company and we tend to have many similar interests. I'm looking for new friends, who are also single, with no kids. That's about a lifestyle match, so if I want to call you up and say "let's go get doughnuts", you're not going to say "Oh Sarah and I are watching Netflix" or "I'm just putting the kids to bed". I'd love friends in Adelaide but I travel to Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane regularly so open to connections there too, or with people who travel to Adelaide. Though anywhere is fine to be honest.

It would be great to find people around my age ( /- 10 years fine too) strongly interested in any of the following: fitness, food/cooking/restaurants, 80s action movies, driving/road trips, whisky and gin, doggos/animals, bars and dancefloors, game nights (Cards Against Humanity type), or travel (especially in Australia). I have loads of interests but those are the highlights.

I am a communications professional, so I spell words correctly and use proper grammar. I work in higher education. I am active and sociable. I don't watch a lot of TV, as I've got other things to do, so have no Netflix recommendations. I love music. I have a savage sense of humour. I love conversation, both intense and lighthearted. I am extremely easy to be around and get along with. I get along best with people similar to me in lifestyle and circumstance.

If you care, I am caucasian, and happy to share a pic immediately. I expect you to do the same. If we don't click, no hard feelings, just let it die.

Things I'm not interested in:
- NSFW history (posts or comments)
- Drugs
- "Flirting"
- Anime, D&D, gaming, and other similar pursuits.
- Emotional, social, and mental health problems. We're not all doing perfectly all the time, but I am healthy and happy and I just can't expend energy on people who will ultimately project those problems onto me through poor behaviour. If you can't self manage, please don't enter my orbit. I've been there, done that, and I'm not doing it again.

DMs now open.
