Hi!

I'm looking to head back into the dating realm after a long hiatus. I'd like to meet someone who is just as off-kilter, quick-to-the-punch, and whimsical as I am. Someone who tempers these aforementioned qualities with a commitment to doing good (always), a willingness to speak their mind when it matters, and who is not afraid of the unknown. Yeah, I'm going to interject by saying that if you've even made it this far, just go ahead and message me. Most times when I'm at work, I cannot help but to talk as I type, which just confuses the heck out of people; and me doing the same thing in what is supposed to be a damn dating profile does not help the situation whatsoever. But... I guess that's the whole point.

Okay, to the quickfire round of Q&A:

29, male. 185cm tall, built like a rugby player during their off-season. Kiwi-born ex-pat, lived in 'Straya for a good five years now. Sydney's a pretty decent place all things considered, and it's my home now as far as I'm concerned.

Looking for someone my age or a bit younger. Physical attraction is a thing, of course, so I'm happy to share photos early on. Financially stable, don't have to live paycheck-to-paycheck like most of my friends do (due to their unwise spending habits.) Love a good conversation and talking about what really matters, trending memes, and everything in between.

The majority of my work is customer-facing-- one-to-one consultations, meetings with key stakeholders, working with partners/vendors-- and as such, I love a good conversation. Quite often, 2–3-minute phone catchups with clients end up being two-hour chit-chats that I have to find some way of billing for.

Speaking of work: I'm a senior consultant in the world of IT. Did a stint in the military some years ago. Can also build a house and take care of general maintenance around the property.

Hobbies? Well, there's books (psychology being a key feature on my shelf, along with military history and social science), music, and gardening.

That's the important stuff, I think. Pretty keen on moving to voice/video calls early on, before moving to the physical realm.

Thanks for reading and wishing you all the best with where life may take you. :-)
