A: I’m genuinely interested in you.

Not your status, your age, whether you think you’re attractive enough, or whether you’ve done this before.

You.

What excites you. What makes you laugh. Where you’ve been. What you haven’t told anyone yet. What makes you feel confident. What makes you blush.

I think being truly noticed is one of the most intimate experiences two people can share.

People rarely remember every conversation.

They remember how you made them feel.

A: Photography, art, music, books, strength training, yoga, swimming, long walks, travel and anything that gets me outside.

I’m also endlessly interested in people and culture. Give me an exhibition, an obscure documentary, a tiny bar, an interesting neighbourhood or someone with a completely different life from mine and I’m entertained.

I love learning new things and I’m prone to disappearing down rabbit holes when something captures my imagination.

And because I live minutes from the beach, sometimes spare time means doing absolutely nothing ambitious: coffee, ocean, sunshine and nowhere particularly urgent to be.

A: I pay attention.

I remember the small things people tell me. I notice when someone relaxes, when they’re excited about something, when they’re nervous, when they need reassurance and when they’re ready to be challenged a little.

For me, going the extra mile isn’t about grand gestures. It’s making someone feel that while we’re together, they aren’t competing with my phone, my schedule or whatever comes next.

Presence has become strangely rare.

Giving someone your complete attention shouldn’t feel luxurious, but it does.

That’s something I take seriously — in life and in good company.

A: I follow curiosity.

A beach I’ve never walked. A restaurant somebody insists I have to try. Live music. Galleries. Road trips without enough planning. Books. Photography. Swimming. Training. Great coffee. Cooking with someone while getting completely distracted by hot moments on the kitchen bench & good conversation.

I love travelling and exploring unfamiliar places, but I can have just as much fun staying home with the right person.

My favourite plans tend to have room for things to go off-script.

Coffee becomes lunch.

A walk becomes sunset.

One drink becomes hours of play.

Those are usually the best days.

A: Probably very little at first.

I’d want to know about you.

What have you done that surprised yourself? Where would you disappear to tomorrow if nobody needed to know where you were? What makes you laugh? What do you secretly want more of?

Eventually you’d discover that I’ve travelled extensively, I’m endlessly curious, I love art, photography, music, wild landscapes, long conversations and people who don’t fit neatly into boxes.

Then the sun would start disappearing, we’d realise we’d been talking for hours, and I’d suggest we walk along the beach.

What happens after that probably depends on the chemistry.

And I rather like not knowing in advance.

A: Curiosity, warmth and an almost complete absence of judgement.

I’m easy to talk to and genuinely interested in what makes people tick — including the things they don’t normally tell anyone.

I’m affectionate, playful, adventurous and emotionally perceptive. I know how to listen, but I’m equally happy being ridiculous and laughing until my stomach hurts.

I’m also very tactile. Touch comes naturally to me — a hand on your back, curling up together, kissing slowly enough to forget what time it is.

Perhaps the trait I value most, though, is presence. When I’m spending time with someone, I like actually being there.

People rarely remember every conversation.

They remember how you made them feel.

A: Travel has been a huge part of my life. I love arriving somewhere unfamiliar with no idea what the day will bring — new cities, long drives, tiny restaurants, beaches, galleries, mountains and conversations with strangers.

But I also love home.

I live on Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula, minutes from the beach, and there’s something pretty wonderful about disappearing down here for a while. Ocean swims, coffee, long lunches, walking until sunset and coming home with nowhere else to be.

So the answer is both.

Take me somewhere I’ve never been, or come escape the city with me.

Either can turn into an adventure.

A: People tend to feel comfortable with me very quickly.

I’m genuinely fascinated by people. I’ve travelled extensively, met people from wildly different backgrounds and learned that everyone becomes interesting when you ask the right questions.

I listen. I notice things. I laugh easily. I’m non-judgemental and very comfortable with vulnerability, difference and desire.

And then there’s the contrast: I can spend an afternoon talking with you about art, travel, life and everything in between — and later have you wondering how the conversation ended up with my mouth on yours.

I think that combination of curiosity, warmth, confidence and sexuality is probably what makes me different.

A: Good company with genuine chemistry.

I’m not interested in rushing through a script. I like the part where we discover each other — conversation, humour, curiosity, attraction, and that moment when you realise you’ve completely relaxed.

I’m trans FTM, well travelled, affectionate and very tactile. I love passionate kissing, cuddling, sensual touch and intimacy that feels genuinely mutual. I can be soft and deeply affectionate, but there’s a mischievous side too. If teasing, power play or a little playful humiliation makes you blush, I’ll probably enjoy finding out exactly where that button is.

Think less “appointment” and more a very hot encounter you’re still feeling in your body the next day.
