41yo Aussie guy, stepped into a gym for the first time at the age of 38 and really enjoy it. Will never have the discipline and committment to be an Adonis, but enjoy the effort it makes me put in. I especially enjoy tidying up after the 'bicep boys', who do 1 set of curls, admire themelves in the mirror for 10 minutes, then are somehow rendered incapable of putting the weights away where they found them.

People describe me as aloof, sarcastic, scary (at first!); they're probably right, I don't smile alot and I don't trust people easily, but I'm the most loyal friend in the world if you can fight your way through the barriers! I also have 'reclusive' periods, so if I don't get back to you straight away don't worry, I'm not ignoring you, I'm ignoring everyone!

Oh, and I'm writing a novel, it's a romantic hostage comedy, not that crime is a laughing matter of course.

Anyway send me a message if you wanna say hi, I'm actually very easy going!

Some quotes from my fridge (apologies I don't know the sources, just things I've seen and liked over the years):

"What one human being can be to another is not a very great deal; in the end everyone stands alone and the important thing is who it is that stands alone. The happiness which we receive from ourselves is greater than that which we receive from our surroundings. The world in which a man lives shapes itself chiefly by the way in which he looks at it. Since everything which exists or happens for a man only exists in his consciouisness, and happens for him alone, the most essential thing for a man is the constitution of his consciousness."

"Be kind to people. The world needs kindness so much. You never know what sort of battles other people are fighting. Often just a soft word, a warm compliment can be immensely supportive. You can do a great deal of good by just being considerate, by extending a little friendship, going out of your way to do just one nice thing or saying on good word."

"To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a little better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is the meaning of success."
