I am approximatel​y 179cm tall, blonde hair, hazel eyes, 78 kg and like to keep relatively fit.  I enjoy sports including AFL football (GO CATS!), cricket and more recently soccer and basketball.  I am also an ice hockey fan but very rarely get to see it on TV.  I work as a professional​ consultant for an internationa​l company which keeps me very busy most of the time.

I like to try and enjoy life and be happy!

I am a people person and love to meet and talk to different people from all around the world.  I will of course also talk to other Aussies!  I have a very quirky sense of humor, and some crazy stories fit only for a pshyc ward, so someone I could have a laugh with would be great!  Life is too short to be miserable, enjoy it while you can!

I do have one request that is very important, don't ask to be my friend if I have no idea who you are....would​ you walk up to someone in the street and ask a random stranger to be your friend?, I think not.  Secondly, if we do end up becomming friends and trust me I am here to make friends, PLEASE make the effort to keep in contact, don't just disappear of the face of the earth after one or two messages, thats not what friends do.  If I don't hear from you for a while and I know you have been on line, I will remove you from my friends list.  I don't like having to be the one to always initiate contact....n​ot too much to ask is it?

A good friend should understand you and accept you for who you are and not what you should be - according to them. A good friend should be able to keep your secrets and never divulge them to a third person under any circumstance​s - except when its for your own good.

A good friend should give you an honest opinion - not a diplomatic opinion - when asked. He/she should be critical of you when criticism is warranted. They should bring you back to earth if you are floating in your own delusionary world. They should not be bothered about offering blunt advice if thats what is needed.

A good friend would be someone who expects no favors back from you and does not value your worth based on favors returned. A good friend would be a selfless person who values your friendship more than material gains that can be had through his/her association with you.

A good friend means being there for the good times and the bad times.

And to quote my good friend Tessa "a good friend will bail you out of jail-no questions asked. But a best friend will have been there at you side sitting next to you in jail saying, "wasn't​­ that freakin cool!?"­"

For all of the above reasons - a good friend is very hard to find.
