Hi!

I'm looking for someone who is just as off-kilter, quick-to-the-punch, and whimsical as I am to form a friendship/relationship with. Most nights I'd rather sit quietly on the couch reading a book or listening to some ambient music as I do some writing. Despite working with computers and technology everyday, I like to go "offline" wherever possible. 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 just the way I am.

Okay, to the quickfire round of Q&A:

30, male. 185cm tall, built like a rugby player during their off-season. Kiwi-born, lived in 'Straya for a good seven years now. Sydney's a pretty decent place all things considered, yet there's still parts of the metro area that I need to explore.

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. Live on my own in a high-rise apartment - I've put a lot of effort into giving it a real "comfy" feeling.

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 a decent catalogue of manga and sci-fi works), music, and gardening. I still game when I feel up to it, though not as much as I used to. Sometimes I'd jump on the train and get off at some random place just for the hell of it - more often than not, I'd end up in some interesting encounters.

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 a nice, rainy Sydney evening. :-)
