I'm a modern guy with old school values. I work as a Personal Trainer and I specialize in injury rehabilitation and prevention. I am also a technique coach for track athletes. I'm in very good physical shape, and take pleasure in the physical side of life. That doesn't pigeon hole me in the shallow sports mad category. I'm intelligent and looking for a woman with an open mind, a ready sense of humour and energy for a challenge. The right girl for me will trust her mind as much as her gut. Two good humans can do just about anything. Every relationship has challenges, needs committment and work. That turns me on, not away, so I'm looking for someone who gets that and knows inside herself that it's all worth her effort. There is nothing truer than that you get what you 'pay' for in life. Somebody who feels that only things that are easy are 'right' is not for me. Life is all beautiful, when things are easy and when things are not. That's all I mean by that. A bit more about me: I love getting out in Melbourne for live music. I love a good movie, a hot Pho, all food really, taking time over good wine, an occasional ice cold beer and barbeque nirvana. Love to chill out and let time 'slow down' with my girl I always love the beach, a picnic in the shade, doing anything physical. I cycle often. Despite my words above I don't have 'high' expectations of online dating, whatever happens, happens and what I'm looking for I trust myself to find. I trust in friendship and honesty. I am a very straight talker, if you don't like that you won't like me. I feel that the dating site experience can tend to force things, creating pressure around expectations and romance that don't need to be there. So I prefer to meet rather than e-mail a lot. And I'm just as good in person as I am in print. If you're a special girl who wants to have fun with a great guy who's real, sensitive and strong, if you find fun in a challenge, not anxiety, if you give more than you take, love your own company, your heart is soft, kind and compassionate, if you are honest, hopeful, and flat out enjoy male company, you could be my kind of girl.
