Hello there... May I suggest you get yourself a coffee, cup of tea or glass of wine before continuing... Who is the man you see?... Yes... The man in the photos is real... His name is Vic (Victor)... He is Aussie born of European decent... Yes he has secrets... Yes he has regrets... Yes he has scars... Because he is real & has a history... But life is a never ending teacher which defines who we become & are today... He has done good in his life... And yes, he has made mistakes... He can be serious when necessary, sometimes a bit random & even silly.... He loves to laugh, even at himself... He is a people person & loves life and what it has to offer... He chooses to see the glass as half full & has a positive mind set... He is comfortable in his skin & all circles in life, has broken bread with many from the under privileged to nobility & all in between... He does not prejudge others & treats all how he likes & wants to be treated... Friends say he is genuine, has a GSOH, is good company, open minded & loyal... He ***s a spade a spade & may not always be politi***y correct... He enjoys both light & intellectual conversations on most topics... He can dress up or down, although prefers shorts & thongs in warmer weather... He can be predictable, spontaneous or totally unpredictable... But know this... He is loyal beyond question, is true to his convictions, his word is his bond & he tries to be the best person he knows how... He chooses to help others including the underprivileged, has empathy, compassion & is non judgemental... Everyone has their own story... Never judge someone unless you have walked in their shoes... He will not pretend to be someone he is not... He is who he is... What you see is what you get... He loves knowledge & is always willing to learn & try something new... Love him or not... But know this... If he loves you, he is monogamous, he will do it unconditionally with his whole heart... He will stand by you, be your rock when you need one, always have your back through thick & thin... He will protect you till the end & he will do it willingly & makes no apologies for being who he is or the way he is... Life has thrown him curveballs & tested him on numerous occasions throughout life from a tender age, yet he has never quit & has always fought back & found his ground again... He may not be perfect but he has worth.... Hence...... Today I respect myself & like myself... I may not be wealthy, but I am content... I am not looking to change anyone, nor do I wish to be changed... I have a zero tolerance to drugs, women, children & animal abusers, scammers, drama queens & toxic people... I am also not a fan of total snobs & always negative mentality people... I am not looking for a mother figure, a cook or cleaner, nor a finance advisor as I am quite capable in all areas thank you... I have various hobbies and interests & will share later if you are interested... You just need to ask... I enjoy most genres of music & what I listen to depends on my mood, the company I am with & what I am doing... Only types I am no fan off are techno & headbanging... I enjoy a variety of movies & will even suffer a chick flix to make someone happy.... Some people hang art on their walls, whist others choose to wear theirs... I just happen to do both & if you do too, that is fine... I am looking for someone real, genuine, a lover of life, is easy going with a positive outlook & is non high maintenance... A real feminine girly gal to share friendship, interests, outings, quality time & companionship for starters... With the possibility of more if suited... Must be an animal lover... But all good things take time... Like a fine wine, I seek someone where we can grow & improve with age... I sooner be alone than lonely with the wrong person... I have no baggage, emotional or otherwise, although like most do have some life scars... With life's lessons comes knowledge & with age comes wisdom... I know what I want & am too old for mind games & just good enough is no longer an option... Money & wealth does not impress me, but inner beauty, honesty, respect & loyalty does, as true wealth is love, health & happiness... I am looking for someone genuine, with a bubbly personality, who values life, who wants to be happy & wants to feel safe & secure... Someone who wants to feel loved & wants to share & create fond memories, share laughter & tears and does not want to grow old alone... As they say my one & only partner in crime so to speak... Perhaps not my first love, but definitely my last... I do have some long time female friends, but it has been a long time since I have dated, therefore I apologise but I am pretty rusty... To risk vulnerability again & taking a chance at happiness is somewhat scary to me, yet also exciting at the same time, but nothing worthwhile comes easy... But it just may be worth it... Who knows???... I am game... Are you???... I am only interested in mature & not daughter aged women (Please don't tell me that age is just a ***)... Also I am not interested in overseas or long distance relationships... I live in Regional Victoria *** and prefer someone within 3 hours or so drive... but one never knows what the future holds... To know more, just ask... I will always be honest & expect the same courtesy in return... I do not do whats app, messenger, skype or *** chats, nor will I give out my *** straight away... Let's talk here first & see if we are both comfortable for the next step.... Scammers beware... I am a loyal and good friend to have, but I am also a dangerous enemy to make... The choice is yours..... However if you have nothing to offer but your genuine self & a good heart, then that is good enough for me... Just please be honest from the start... Thank you for perusing my page.. May your days be filled with joy & peace of heart... May you find true happiness & what you are searching for... We all deserve a touch of happiness...
