I live on the glorious Sunshine Coast in Queensland, Australia. m a i k e at sun big net au - remove spaces first five letters.

Romantic, Passionate, Cute, Fun-Deep, Intelligent, Loyal. A whole person looking for same. Friendship first, then anything is possible!

Appearance:

I have long Blond Hair (natural); Blue Eyes, am 168cm tall, Size 10-12 (slim with curves). Best features they ask: mmm - I've been told I have terribly mesmerising, sexy eyes and a wonderful smile. Does that count? I'm very youthful in appearance mind and spirit (I didn't say immature - youthful!) and most believe me to be in my early 30's.

Feel comfortable in jeans & T-Shirt, but just as comfortable in a slinky evening dress and everything inbetween. Not really into frilly things though. I'm at home in the bush roughing it, and I'm at home in a 5 Star Hotel in Paris and dress accordingly.

I'm naturally fair skinned (Viking Ancestry!) but nothing a tan in a bottle can't fix!

If you like what you see, then take the time to get to know me. m a i k e at sun big net au
I'm a lot of things and not easily put into one of society's little 'boxes'. Yet, I'm really quite down to Earth and like to keep my Life as uncomplicated as possible.

Love Life! I am positive, fun, intelligent and have many interests (possibly too many!) I don't know the meaning of 'boredom'. Have a passion for Nature & Landscape Photography & writing (which may turn into a 2nd career - working on it!) and interest in Alternative Medicine. Love the outdoors (obviously), but also cosy times at home.

I'm very romantic, but not clingy. I sometimes need my own space too - nothing personal! I'm Independent but love to share. I'm very giving. I'm social but need quiet times too. I like harmony in my life, which doesn't exclude that there could be issues in life that I may feel are worth going to war over. I cannot stand 'injustices'.

Despite being a Scorpio, I haven't a jealous bone in my body. So if your former partner(s) are still good friends - Congratulations! I'm going to trust you that's all they are. I believe if you don't have trust, you have nothing. If my trust has been misplaced or betrayed, it's time to make a decision.

Between my day job (in financial planning), working on my 2nd career in photography/writing, I try to get get/keep fit,to catch up with friends over dinner (love dining out but my dinner parties are quite renowned also) I enjoy going to the movies but prefer curling up with a good book (fiction and non-fiction) to most TV shows.

I love the sun & warm days and enjoy most activities to do with water and the great outdoors in general. Eg diving, leisurely horse riding, kayaking/canoeing, bushwalking etc. I've even been mountain climbing despite my fear of heights. It's good to step out of one's comfort zone now and again! Happy to try out new things too.

My family and many friends live overseas, so I spend a bit of time answering emails each week as well.

I've experienced much in life - even dramas/traumas as well as so many amazing things - that each day to me is one big adventure. I'm not always happy about some of life's surprises/challenges, but they are what makes us grow and appreciate the good times. I tend to make the most of every situation.

Whilst fairly active, I enjoy sleeping in / daydreaming on occasion as well.

I'm a bit of a Philosopher and Anthropologist - like to study life, people (and beyond). I'm interested in ancient history/cultures. I'm also a bit of a gypsy and have been to many places around the Globe. I'm German born and have lived and worked in many industries and places in Australia and overseas - mainly in business development / marketing. Still love to travel but have settled a little bit more as my Soul has recognised the Sunshine Coast to be Home! I consider Travel to be the best education!

I'm honest & ethical and have no time for people who play mind games of any kind. I'm choosy who I work with, I'm choosy in the choice of my friends - so why would I be less in the choice of a possible partner?

Living such a full life has brought me here - in the hope of meeting/making new friends and who knows .... This way of bringing people together is a Godsend for busy people - and those that aren't into noisy, smoke filled night clubs. Having said that, I do like to go dancing occasionally and enjoy live music. Several of my friends are musos.

I'd like to think that other people who have full, interesting lives have come to the same conclusion. Do say 'hi'! AT sun DOT big DOT net DOT au

Looking For :

I'm looking for a guy between 35 and 45, who basically knows who he is and what he wants from life. Who's not afraid to try and reach for goals and realise his dreams. Remembering that the journey is often more important than the destination. A guy, who's not afraid of failure having done his best - and is likely to see this as a learning experience and part of his personal growth and development. He won't stay down for long and will try again or something new.

I like a guy with smiling eyes and a dazzling smile! He should be slim (not skinny), athletic or of average build and fairly fit. I'd prefer him to be taller than me ( I do wear heals a bit). Like me, he should be youthful for his years and take pride in his appearance, 35-45.

Most of all he should want to become the best of friends; to develop a relationship of mutual trust and respect first and foremost. And then be passionate, sensual, romantic, exciting, adventurous and lots of fun and a little bit cheaky too. Of course he must be honest, caring and have integrity. He doesn't have to be Einstein but should be able to hold a conversation on a wide range of topics and be interested in most of what Life has to offer.

He won't be intimidated by women who know who they are and have goals/dreams. He'll be looking for an equal partner who will gladly support his goals and dreams as he will hers. I'm not a feminist and enjoy being treated like a lady. But I won't go to pieces if I break a nail or need to get dirty.

No, I'm not looking for perfection - I'm not unflawed either. However, it would be nice to share some interests or discover new ones together. I think it's important to have a similar sense of humour. Looks can matter - but it all comes down to the "whole package" and to that enigma called "Chemistry".

Yes, I'm nearly done! Just one last thing. You should enjoy going away for weekends/ travelling from time to time - as my camera requires new 'material'. Of course, being able to share the beauty of nature, discovering new places with a special someone ... can be so romantic ....

Are you still awake? What, you really want to find out even more?! Then email me.
