Steven
45, Sydney, Australia

Dissatisfied with Australian women, I am seeking a special woman in the far reaches of the Earth... with the encouragement and (over)involvement of my father and his Russian wife, who are keen to see me happy (and secretly want grandkids:)

I am in the habit of speaking objectively and clinically about relationships in the course of my profession; but deep down I'm a romantic. I often manage my clients' expectations, but personally I'm a dreamy optimist. I see so many people settle for sub par relationships, so many people who sacrifice chemistry for friendship, or the other way round; so many people who are quite fond of their partners but are not truly in love with them. I have no time for just-OK. I'd rather be single. I want to meet someone I'm passionately attracted to, yes, but also whom I love and respect as a friend, a companion, and a partner.

I've lived in Russia; I have Russian and Lithuanian blood. And I have a tremendous respect for the culture as well as the national character of Russians. And Russian women have wonderful hearts, and know how to look after themselves, and their man. That having been said, I have no intention of relocating! Sydney is one of the most popular and livable cities in the world, and I am fortunate to have a stunning apartment right in its center. My life would be complete with the right woman...
