True perhaps. It's harder to seek out the creme of the bunch in regional Australia.
Granted - I find the average Brit more interesting than the average Aussie but once you get above all that, Australians then come into their own.

That seems a very accurate summary:)

To me that's dull but I'm probably equally bland to him.
TE your stereotypical male is the norm in Geelong, at least as I see it. Of course I've met blokes that fall outside of this stereotype and who are quite interesting to talk to. For example I know 2 blokes, both secondary school teachers, one of whom has lived in the uk for a bit, and both of them are very uncomfortable with Australia's jingoistic culture. One of them even hates afl! Unfortunately his wife is a fat minger so our friendship is doomed. The other's wife is quite a minx;) |

No. I don't find Aussie blokes a bit dull. The male dullards IMO are generally British and found posting here.
I quite like the Australian men I've met. |

Ahem....only in very specific circumstances.. I find the average Brit less dull for amusement but there are many others who if you take away soccer and pubs are suddenly devoid ..other Aussies can be quite interesting.

Fortunately I wasn't born there, I have good solid English DNA but I know a few that fit that description. :D

Black Dogs tend to get bigger and snarlier if all you can do is try to pick fights and be Mr Controversial.
Constructive and productive behaviour beyond the bounds of your immediate world tends to work better for all concerned. Just sayin' ... |
