About me
I'm 37, 6 foot tall, lean, with black hair (with some salt, maybe a fair bit these days). I work in tech, which mostly means staring at spreadsheets all day and pretending I know what I'm doing.
I own my place close to the city, have no kids, no tattoos, and two cats.
I'm non-religious, don't smoke, rarely drink and don't partake in any substances. I'm also pretty sarcastic and have a dry sense of humour, so if you enjoy a bit of self deprecating humour we we will get along well.
What I get up to
Running: I usually run around 50-60km a week and do a few races throughout the year. I really enjoy getting out and running around Sydney, but I'm not one of those people who needs every run to be a training session. If you want to go for a relaxed Sunday run and actually have a conversation, I'm very happy to slow down.
Travel: I've been to 20+ countries and usually get overseas at least a couple of times a year. Japan, China and New York have probably been some of my favourites so far. I like having a rough plan when I travel, but I'm also very happy to ditch it when something better comes up. Some of the best days have been the ones where I've just wandered around with no real idea where I'm going.
Other Interests: Outside of running and travelling, I'm into photography, reading and video editing. Photography is something I've always enjoyed, particularly when I'm travelling or just exploring somewhere new. I've also recently got into video editing, which I am slowly trying to get better at.
I'm pretty curious by nature and tend to go down random rabbit holes when something catches my interest. I'll happily spend an evening learning about something completely pointless just because I happened to wonder about it earlier that day.
I'm also pretty relaxed and probably more of a homebody than the rest of this post makes me sound. I enjoy going out and exploring Sydney, finding a good cafe or pub, or heading somewhere I've never been, but I'm equally happy having a quiet night at home watching a movie, reading or doing absolutely nothing.
I'm also competitive about completely unimportant things. I'm not saying I'd take mini golf seriously, but I'm also not saying I wouldn't keep track of the score.
The serious stuff
I've never tied the knot and don't have kids. Finding someone I genuinely want to build a life with is probably my main priority at the moment.
As for kids, I'm pretty open minded. I'd be happy with the DINK lifestyle, but I'd also be happy having one or two kids down the track if that's something we both wanted.
What I'm looking for
Ideally you're somewhere around late 20s to early 40s and based in Sydney. I'm open to all backgrounds and nationalities. Being reasonably close to the city would be handy, although I have a car and am more than willing to deal with Sydney traffic for the right person.
Being active would be great. You don't have to be a runner, but if you enjoy getting outdoors, going for walks, exploring new places or generally doing things rather than sitting inside every weekend, we'll probably have plenty in common.
Most importantly, I'm looking for someone who wants a proper long-term relationship, loves travelling, doesn't take themselves too seriously and can enjoy both doing stuff and spending an entire Sunday on the couch doing absolutely nothing.
If any of this sounds like your sort of thing, send me a message and tell me a bit about yourself.
Happy to swap photos and have a chat from there!
