When I was 20, I fell in love with an Australian hotel manager in Dublin called Rowan. After that, I wanted to emigrate to Australia but my parents made me go home instead.

Now I'm here at last. And if they can take a strong, sassy, saucy woman, Australian men should please apply.

"The Ultimate Bloke":  It's simple why we Aussie boys are the juice ... poor Maureen has had to suffer for years the irony of US boys calling themselves men. Now she's in Australia, her search for a man can begin.

"John":  Any woman that can write so elegantly and with such biting sarcasm must be worth spending a little time with. And the added bonus — Maureen is a redhead! Reds are the best!

"Tori":  I'm an intelligent young man with exceptional communication skills, GREAT sense of humour and a charismatic personality. I am a self-trained gourmet chef with an exquisite taste for fine food & wine, which I would like to share with Maureen. Indeed, I'm 2QT2eat and the perfect accompliment for an attractive career woman.
