 Phil
About me: I'm a Melburnian who
has fallen for Sydney, though I have to say Sydney is experiencing a
girl shortage (controversial, but true!). Importantly, I'm a dog person
and do love my AFL. I enjoy a lazy Sunday, but high-five for random
weekend escapes. There are no nightmares in my kitchen.
Likes to: Be out and about being social - during the racing carnival or at a navy ball. If there's fun to be had, I'm not too far away.
Pet hate: Surprise cover charges and people who sing 'In the Navy' when you introduce yourself as being in the navy.
Gagging to meet: The guy that writes "look left" and "look right" on the city streets!
Seriously, he must be out there. But in a relationship I'm looking for
an independent girl that doesn't mind being pampered once in a while;
the kind that is able to go about her day as normal while I'm at sea
but gets a kick out of finding a surprise box of chocolates in her
medicine cabinet in the morning.
Best asset: My positivity. Others would say my eyes or permanent tan, but I don't want to get ahead of myself here...lol.

 Fabiana
About me: I'm passionate and neutral, innovative and
traditional, artist and academic, curious and discreet, sensual and
professional, elaborate and practical, mysterious and
straightforward, elegant and casual, sensitive and tough, sensible and
daring. A little of each...
Likes to: Live life to the full, pamper and be pampered.
Pet hate: Telemarketers, especially when I don’t understand them.
Gagging to meet: Someone
who wants and believes in love. Someone that is secure, charming and with a
great sense of humour. I’m looking for a true relationship that could
end up in a ‘happy ending package’: husband-house-kids and a dog.
Best asset: Creativity and the will to get what I want.
Age: 33

Dom
About me: Like a feisty Barossa cab sav, I'm enormous fun for a few hours, but
will cause a violent headache by the end of the night and deep regret
the next day.
Likes to: Parade the woeful state of my personal life in front of Time Out readers, evidently.
Pet hate: Intolerance, famine, poverty and glib questionnaire answers.
Gagging to meet: A Mensa member who models to fund the orphanage she established in
Lesotho and will one day be UN Secretary-General. In other words, the
female equivalent of myself.
Best asset: Ladies, check out the gun show! No, I don't mean my biceps, I mean my arsenal of semi-automatic weapons.

Age: 32, but if that sounds a bit old, I'm 22 emotionally.
Job: Novelist. Or at least, I just wrote one and I've been busting to list that as my occupation.
Height: 180cm (5ft 11in).

 Sammi
About me: I think I'm a good all-rounder. I'm not offensive to look at, I like to
have a cheeky laugh at inappropriate jokes, I have a career that's
taken me around Australia, an awesome family without the airs and
graces, and most important – friends that 'get' me.
Likes to: Enjoy different ends of the spectrum – camping in the mountains,
fishing with my family, then hit the town for cocktails at a swanky bar
and dinner with a view!
Pet hate: Loud sniffers, mouldy looking teeth, self-involved people.
Gagging to meet: No freaks, no weirdos, just a normal bloke! He's got a great job but it
doesn't rule his life. He'll get the fire going while I put up the
tent. He's close with his family, but doesn't live at home. Then every
now and then, he'll surprise me with something creative.
Best asset: I'll make you laugh ('at me' or 'with me' is the variable!)

Aaron
About me: I'm a
fun-loving guy from the UK who tries not to take life too seriously,
though I'm ambitious in my work, which is involved in and around music.
Some would say I'm charismatic; some say a hopeless romantic; I believe
what you see is what you get. I'm generally a big friendly giant with a
big kid personality who everyone seems to like.
Likes to: I
like music, travel, going to the movies, keeping fit but with the very
occasional weekend social binge. Like being spontaneous and just having
fun in every aspect of my life.
Pet hate: Really cannot stand
pinching. Pinching hurts and if this being done is a flirting kind of
way, then playtime is definitely over.
Gagging to meet: Not
going to lie, I would like to meet someone who blows me away, both
physically and mentally. Which means not only am I looking for glamour,
they should be beautiful on the inside too. Looking for someone who
challenges me and keeps me on my toes. This obviously works both ways.
I'm a sucker for brunettes. My ideal girl would be Natalie Portman.
Best asset: Tough
one, though I like to think apart from fitting the bill of being tall,
dark and handsome, that is my fun loving charismatic kid like
personality that is my stand-out appeal.

Lisa
About me: Originally Made in China but a Sydneysider for 23 years, I’m a reformed potato addict and remain undefeated in foosball (that I recall). I have old school values with new age ideals. I think I have one of the best jobs in the world. I’m an absolute music junkie and pretty confident that I may just be the best ever iPod playlist compiler. I’m prone to excessive use of wild hand gestures and exclamation marks!!!!
Likes to: Give everything a go at least twice to be sure (activities involving heights may take more convincing).
Pet hate: Self-pity and pessimism.
Gagging to meet: A chivalrous man with a great attitude.
Best asset: My HUGE... enthusiasm!

Tina
About me: I'm laidback, carefree, I
like to take life as it comes, and I'm always looking for a laugh or
smile. I'm a bit reserved (at first), a little lost sometimes, and love
a big day or night out as much as quiet, peaceful moments. Still
deciding on what I want in life.
Likes to: Go out to
restaurants, bars and pubs; read and write stuff; rock up to festivals
and gigs of any kind; bake cakes and cookies; see exhibitions and shows
every now and then; have a laugh with mates.
Pet hate: Fakeness - why waste time and energy being something you're not?
Gagging to meet: A guy who can tick the boxes on companionship, conversation and
chemistry. He's confident, comfortable, outgoing, fun-loving, can have
a laugh at himself, and knows how to look after himself and others.
Banter and cuteness help too. Looking for more than a fling but not
marriage or anything remotely like it.
Best asset: My attitude to life: live, laugh, love.

Brooke
About me: I’m a
go-getter, love being able to make people happy and enjoy a good laugh
– even if it’s at my own expense. I have been described as someone who
is bubblier than a glass of champagne and a girl who is just as much
fun as a beer with the boys.
Likes to: Have fun with my
friends, I also enjoy going out to dinner and drinks, a weekend away
camping or a chilled afternoon BBQ with some good tunes (I live for all
sorts of music). I’ve recently finished an intermediate Italian
language course so learning languages and travelling would rate as a
definite interest too!
Pet hate: People who fidget,
especially when you’re trying to have a serious conversation and those
who don’t take pride in their appearance.
Is gagging to meet: A guy with dazzling eyes, who is kind and challenges the way I think.
Someone who can make me laugh and has a good smile (a sexy smile always
manages to get my heart beating a little bit faster!) Ultimately I’m
looking for someone who’s open to possibilities, who shares the same
interests – not necessarily a long term relationship.
Best asset: My sense of positivity paired with my quick wit.

Michael
About me: I’m Mike from England, and have been living in Manly for the last year (shortly to move over to Bondi). Since I’ve arrived here I’ve done a lot of surfing, drinking, attending many music festivals and generally partying. I’ve also learnt a fair bit of Spanish and inadvertently seen a few sharks. I reckon I’ll be staying here a while longer, soaking up the rays.
Likes to: Get drunk on the beach and talk about absolute rubbish.
Pet hate: I’m disturbingly concious of the way people eat. Any way at all irritates me. I try to keep it locked inside.
Gagging to meet: Someone (a girl preferably) funny and quirky who likes having bizarre conversations, and is also adventurous/ uninhibited by social norms.
Best asset: English accent and questionable sense of humour.

Salima
About me: I'm a single and fabulous Sydneysider, looking for
someone fun to be with! My favourite motto at the moment is "why be a
passenger in your own life, take control of the steering wheel" so I
live life in fifth gear, always racing around town trying to fit in all
things work, study, fitness and socially related.
Likes to: Grab life by the lapels and challenge myself by trying new things.
Pet hate: Leaving tissues in the wash.
Gagging to meet: Someone with a similar sense of adventure and fun, and who is driven and motivated.
Best asset: My cheekiness!

Carine
About me: My friends describe me as effervescent. Perhaps it’s because of my
bubbly personality and my natural appreciation for life. I’m also
strong, independent and a go-getter. I love all things creative and I’m
a sucker for any type of adventure. I speak four languages and I love
to travel. A hopeless romantic, I consider myself extremely lucky for
the life I have.
Likes to: Laugh, travel, dance, watch movies, go to the beach, hang out with friends, cuddle and have a good kiss.
Pet hate: Injustice
Would love to meet: Someone kind, funny, ambitious, intelligent, adventurous, affectionate,
confident, fit and a good dancer. Phew! As to the kind of relationship
I’m after, I have no real demands. As long as it’s fun and honest, we
can figure the rest out as we go.
Best asset: Sense of humour

 Lia
About me: Having an energetic and exciting approach to life, I consider myself
very sociable and make friends easily. Sydney born and bred, I love
this city but also love visiting new places and experiencing different
cultures. I’m still learning! I don't like doing things by half… and
the glass is always full.
Likes to: Keep up with current
affairs, catch up with friends, frequent the pub, enjoy the great
outdoors and all that Sydney and surrounds has to offer, plan my next
holiday, play trivia, watch foreign films, visit galleries/museums and
see the occasional live band. A self-confessed foodie, I love eating
out and balance this by keeping fit and active.
Pet hate: Bad spelling.
Gagging to meet: He’s warm and open. He values integrity, spontaneity and the ability to
laugh at himself. He has an enquiring mind. He’s fun to be around. He’s
articulate and a good conversationalist… Oh, and I'm a sucker for a
nice pair of dimples!
Best asset: My cheekiness and irreverence.

About me: A country girl in love with big cities and bright

shockingly sentimental habit of keeping old tickets and programmes. A
natural blonde, who'll choose red over white. I can't cook. But I can
tap dance.
Likes to: Accumulate debt, apparently.
Pet hate: 'LOL'
