Let me start by saying that the boys here were nothing like I expected. I, like the rest of you, pictured laid back surfer types with terribly adorable accents. They would be charming, intellectual, and simultaneously witty and sarcastic. They would have piercing blue eyes and beautifully tanned skin, and be spontaneous, yet romantic. They would also play guitar and sing me lullabies and scratch my back at my request. And they would spoon feed me ice cream while I watch the Bachelorette. They would love every second of it. I may have exaggerated a bit, but a girl can dream right? I speak both from personal experience, and from the help of people I know in the area. And so, with that being said, I present the list. And the tan skin and fit physique usually comes as an added bonus. The weather helps, but people are always out and about here. Running, cycling, diving, fishing, camping, boating, etc. It used to make me swoon. As in, fall-in-love-with anyone-who-spoke, kind of swoon. It tends to just sound normal to me. And finally, they generally like my accent. Only because the weather is SO damn hot in the summer time, will I give them a little slack on this one. It hurts my eyes. They make A LOT of money. Generally this is not a bad thing, but it can and often does lead to greed, deception, and a whole lot of cockiness. If I hear one more person brag about their money, lawd help me. Short-sleeved hawaiian-looking button downs and tight pants. What IS this and why do I see it everywhere I go?!!?!?! Wearing sunnies sunglasses in the bar. The inability to approach women. And when I asked for a beer, he told me I could only have a mixed drink. And so, I ordered both. Get your winky faces and over-use of emojis away from me. The truth is, Aussie guys can be just as wonderful as my lovely fellas back home, and they can be just as god awful, too.
