I found it really awkward 0:04:14.200 --> 0:04:16.560 when I was on a date and there was cameras there, 0:04:16.560 --> 0:04:18.400 because I was like, oh, what am I going to say? 0:04:18.720 --> 0:04:20.880 How did you feel being on dates? 0:04:21.160 --> 0:04:24.640 I felt pretty confident. Yeah, the cameras didn't bother me. 0:04:25.000 --> 0:04:27.320 How was the date when there was a bit of 0:04:27.360 --> 0:04:30.159 an awkward moment and your date got actually a bit 0:04:30.600 --> 0:04:33.279 stressed out? How was that moment for you? 0:04:33.640 --> 0:04:35.120 I was pre concerned. 0:04:35.480 --> 0:04:37.400 Yeah, you looked concerned. 0:04:36.880 --> 0:04:39.000 Because I naturally believed that. 0:04:38.960 --> 0:04:42.120 It was my fault, ah, which isn't the case. 0:04:42.160 --> 0:04:46.240 Because if a woman's not enjoying herself, isn't that typically 0:04:46.279 --> 0:04:47.120 the man's fault. 0:04:47.400 --> 0:04:49.720 Well, that's what I was kind of talking about, Like, 0:04:49.839 --> 0:04:52.840 I think it is so overwhelming when there's cameras there. 0:04:52.880 --> 0:04:56.040 It just adds like a new element of stress and 0:04:56.120 --> 0:04:59.120 I being on a reality TV show, felt that stress. 0:04:59.160 --> 0:05:01.719 So when I all that moment, I was thinking, she 0:05:01.839 --> 0:05:04.720 must be really stressed out, Like it's so intimidating. 0:05:05.120 --> 0:05:08.720 I find going on a first date stressful as it is. 0:05:08.960 --> 0:05:12.240 With the camera without the cameras, but then with the cameras, 0:05:12.240 --> 0:05:14.240 it's like that extra pressure. 0:05:14.520 --> 0:05:17.359 I suppose, how did you deal with her when she 0:05:17.440 --> 0:05:19.440 was stressing out? To make it feel more comfortable. 0:05:19.640 --> 0:05:23.920 I apologize for how the evening turned out. 0:05:24.279 --> 0:05:25.640 Yeah, you could do. 0:05:25.880 --> 0:05:28.840 Yeah, So I want to talk about this. 0:05:29.400 --> 0:05:31.239 There was actually a petition. 0:05:30.920 --> 0:05:33.920 Going around, and I'm sure you've seen it for you 0:05:34.000 --> 0:05:36.520 to be the Bachelor or the next Bachelor. 0:05:37.120 --> 0:05:38.839 How did that feel seeing that? 0:05:39.279 --> 0:05:42.040 I was a little bit surprised about that, But I'm 0:05:42.080 --> 0:05:46.039 personally not really keen on joining something like that. It's 0:05:46.080 --> 0:05:49.800 because I've heard that the participants aren't really allowed to 0:05:49.839 --> 0:05:54.240 be themselves. Really, That's what I've heard at least, and 0:05:54.960 --> 0:05:59.080 every guy on that show is like chiseled and hairless. 0:06:01.839 --> 0:06:04.000 I think you have so much to offer, like you 0:06:04.000 --> 0:06:06.560 would be an incredible bachelor, would I? 0:06:06.960 --> 0:06:10.080 Yeah, you're reel down to earth and you're telling me 0:06:10.080 --> 0:06:12.080 how it isn't that and try bringing the best out 0:06:12.080 --> 0:06:13.400 of the girls, so they're not being fake. 0:06:13.880 --> 0:06:16.440 Yeah, And honestly, I think watching you on Love on 0:06:16.480 --> 0:06:20.000 the Spectrum, like, I feel like Australia fell in love 0:06:20.040 --> 0:06:22.320 with you, and I think you have so much to 0:06:22.440 --> 0:06:25.520 offer someone and I think you'd be great. 0:06:26.160 --> 0:06:28.679 Yeah, I would agree with that, But the only question 0:06:28.839 --> 0:06:32.120 is who in Australia would even would even accept me 0:06:32.240 --> 0:06:33.480 as a potential husband. 0:06:33.600 --> 0:06:36.039 All right, So I feel like you're me a little 0:06:36.080 --> 0:06:38.960 bit the same. We're both hopeless romantics. We love to 0:06:39.600 --> 0:06:41.760 like love.

You said before you haven't been on many dates, 0:06:53.160 --> 0:06:55.400 not not recently, not recently. Why is that you just 0:06:55.520 --> 0:06:57.560 haven't found anyone that you want to go out with? 0:06:57.640 --> 0:07:01.600 Well, I am on e Harmony, cool, and I am 0:07:01.680 --> 0:07:05.040 talking to someone. I'm not really going to mention her 0:07:05.120 --> 0:07:06.600 name for privacy reasons. 0:07:06.640 --> 0:07:09.039 That's totally fine.

Is she. I know you were 0:07:21.320 --> 0:07:24.320 talking about this before that you prefer older women. 0:07:24.800 --> 0:07:25.160 Yes? 0:07:25.480 --> 0:07:26.120 Is she older? 0:07:26.520 --> 0:07:27.640 Yep? Just by one year? 0:07:28.640 --> 0:07:31.400 Cool. Why is it that you like older women. 0:07:31.320 --> 0:07:34.119 Well, it's because if it's like five years or six 0:07:34.200 --> 0:07:36.520 years or seven years older, I might be a bit 0:07:36.560 --> 0:07:38.920 too young for do you think, and it might be 0:07:38.960 --> 0:07:42.600 a bit too immature for I don't think. 0:07:42.640 --> 0:07:45.960 So you come across very mature and hold yourself very well. 0:07:46.120 --> 0:07:49.280 Yes, I would say that, but I also do have 0:07:49.560 --> 0:07:52.400 some moments of immaturity, like everybody else does. 0:07:52.520 --> 0:07:55.360 You're only male, man, I still have a lot of 0:07:55.400 --> 0:07:56.360 immature moments. 0:07:57.080 --> 0:07:59.400 What did you say before when we were outside and 0:07:59.440 --> 0:08:03.960 you were talking about the reason why you like older 0:08:04.000 --> 0:08:06.560 women is sometimes because. 0:08:06.560 --> 0:08:09.320 I'll explain, there's a difference between a woman and a girl. 0:08:09.600 --> 0:08:14.000 A woman has maturity. Girls do not. Okay, right, if 0:08:14.040 --> 0:08:16.720 you're younger than twenty five, you're still a girl. But 0:08:17.160 --> 0:08:20.400 when you get into your late twenties, you're about fifty 0:08:20.440 --> 0:08:24.840 to seventy five percent done with your transformation into a woman. 0:08:25.120 --> 0:08:27.200 But when you're getting to your thirties, that's when the 0:08:27.240 --> 0:08:29.120 complete transformation takes place. 0:08:29.360 --> 0:08:32.840 So thirty is like the optimum age for dating. 0:08:33.320 --> 0:08:35.920 Do you think by then a woman knows what she wants. 0:08:35.760 --> 0:08:38.600 Yes, and is more keen on selling down rather than 0:08:38.679 --> 0:08:40.800 just only focusing on having a good time. 0:08:41.000 --> 0:08:44.559 You're right, I agree. I think that's true. 0:08:44.240 --> 0:08:47.079 And I also find it very disheartening when a lot 0:08:47.120 --> 0:08:50.480 of girls are hoping for a deep connection. Well, some 0:08:50.559 --> 0:08:54.360 guys just only want a one night stand. But I 0:08:54.400 --> 0:08:56.120 have a bit of advice for those girls who get 0:08:56.120 --> 0:08:58.200 heartbroken by those one night stands. 0:08:58.320 --> 0:08:58.800 Amazing. 0:08:59.200 --> 0:09:01.679 Let's hear it, do what you need to with him, 0:09:01.720 --> 0:09:02.840 then broom him fast. 0:09:05.240 --> 0:09:08.480 That's awesome. I think all those girls need. 0:09:08.320 --> 0:09:11.839 To hear that, because, after all, a pair of breasts 0:09:11.840 --> 0:09:13.959 and a backside don't define a woman. 0:09:13.960 --> 0:09:15.880 True, that's their personality as well. 0:09:16.080 --> 0:09:19.920 Exactly what's going on in her heart and soul and 0:09:20.000 --> 0:09:21.520 mind defines a woman. 0:09:21.559 --> 0:09:24.760 Do you believe in energy between two people, the energy 0:09:24.760 --> 0:09:27.280 in their bond that you know straightaway that you feel. 0:09:27.040 --> 0:09:27.600 That, Yes? 0:09:28.080 --> 0:09:29.520 Yeah, I do as well. 0:09:29.559 --> 0:09:31.560 And if you're on a first day with someone, you 0:09:31.559 --> 0:09:34.880 have to pay attention to your heart and see how 0:09:34.920 --> 0:09:35.480 you feel. 0:09:35.800 --> 0:09:37.800 Yeah, that's the biggest piece of advice I was ever 0:09:37.840 --> 0:09:40.560 given on a first date. Stop worrying about how they're 0:09:40.600 --> 0:09:42.760 feeling or what they're doing, and worry about how you're 0:09:42.800 --> 0:09:44.520 feeling and how you feel about them. 0:09:44.880 --> 0:09:47.040 If your heart's racing, that's actually a bit of a sign, 0:09:47.160 --> 0:09:49.920 a sign that that you're attracted to her. 0:09:50.200 --> 0:09:52.240 But I found on a first date with my new 0:09:52.240 --> 0:09:54.840 girl that my heart wasn't racing. I felt really comfortable 0:09:54.880 --> 0:09:57.160 around her, So I felt like that was a good sign. 0:09:57.280 --> 0:10:01.520 That's also another good signet. 0:10:00.000 --> 0:10:02.440 You're comfortable in our energy and you're comfortable in her presence. 0:10:03.040 --> 0:10:05.240 If you're on a first date and you feel comfortable 0:10:05.280 --> 0:10:07.360 with that person, you enjoy your time with that person. 0:10:08.120 --> 0:10:11.839 Explore that further, go deeper into it. Yeah, for sure, 0:10:12.000 --> 0:10:12.800 why stop there? 0:10:13.000 --> 0:10:14.760 Exactly why I didn't good? 0:10:16.559 --> 0:10:18.720 I think as well, like if I'm on a first day, 0:10:19.440 --> 0:10:22.600 if I start to get anxiety and I don't feel comfortable, 0:10:22.720 --> 0:10:25.679 that's like a red flag for me and like this 0:10:25.760 --> 0:10:26.880 is probably not right. 0:10:27.000 --> 0:10:30.280 Well, people relate those butterfly feelings to like when you're 0:10:30.280 --> 0:10:33.000 anxious and you're not enjoying someone's company, to like actual 0:10:33.200 --> 0:10:35.320 like you think you like them, But they need to 0:10:35.320 --> 0:10:38.560 separate those two things that sometimes those butterflies are actually 0:10:38.600 --> 0:10:41.120 telling you that this isn't right for you. You're actually anxious. 0:10:41.360 --> 0:10:45.880 The butterflies would be like a combination of excitement and nervousness. 0:10:45.880 --> 0:10:46.880 Nervousness, You're right. 0:10:47.120 --> 0:10:48.200 Either way, That's what I'm saying. 0:10:48.760 --> 0:10:50.760 Tell us about the first time you had a crush 0:10:50.800 --> 0:10:51.280 on a girl. 0:10:51.559 --> 0:10:55.520 It was early twenty ten. I was still in high 0:10:55.520 --> 0:10:59.079 school at the time, year ten. She was quite beautiful 0:10:59.120 --> 0:11:05.559 and she made my heart race, but she just didn't 0:11:05.559 --> 0:11:09.840 feel the same way it was at the time. But 0:11:11.000 --> 0:11:15.160 I was kind of saved. Yeah, you know, dodged the. 0:11:15.120 --> 0:11:18.120 Bullet end up being a red flag. 0:11:18.320 --> 0:11:20.800 Let's just say that God was giving me a glimpse 0:11:20.840 --> 0:11:22.240 of what it's like to fall in love. 0:11:22.600 --> 0:11:24.959 So you're getting a little taster of what it could 0:11:25.000 --> 0:11:25.400 be like. 0:11:25.920 --> 0:11:28.960 Yeah, And you know, we always talk about dating, and 0:11:29.000 --> 0:11:31.360 we say that every date that you go on that 0:11:31.440 --> 0:11:34.480 doesn't work out, you're getting closer to being with the 0:11:34.520 --> 0:11:37.880 one or finding the one that's right for you, figuring. 0:11:37.480 --> 0:11:39.520 Out yourself what you want in the partner. 0:11:39.880 --> 0:11:42.520 Yeah, I kind of figured that out this morning, do 0:11:42.640 --> 0:11:44.720 you do. Yeah, every time you go on a date, 0:11:44.880 --> 0:11:46.720 the closer you are to finding someone. 0:11:46.880 --> 0:11:48.959 Yeah. Great attitude to have, and that's the attitude where 0:11:48.960 --> 0:11:50.440 you had as well. 0:11:50.640 --> 0:11:53.480 Every time it doesn't work out, it's always a lesson, 0:11:53.880 --> 0:11:55.880 so you have to find out what the lesson is. 0:11:55.920 --> 0:11:58.080 And it seems like you found the lesson in that one. 0:11:58.280 --> 0:12:01.480 Yes, although I will have to admit I am quite 0:12:01.480 --> 0:12:04.480 particularly attracted to English women. 0:12:04.800 --> 0:12:07.480 English women right, and I was born in England. I 0:12:07.559 --> 0:12:08.400 was born in England. 0:12:08.600 --> 0:12:13.240 I'm from the UK, from the UK as well. Yeah, 0:12:13.280 --> 0:12:16.200 so you think potentially you might go to England and 0:12:16.240 --> 0:12:18.680 see if there's someone special there. 0:12:19.200 --> 0:12:20.440 Yeah? 0:12:19.800 --> 0:12:21.680 Yeah, when are you looking at doing that? 0:12:21.880 --> 0:12:23.440 You're going to be looking at going to the UK 0:12:23.720 --> 0:12:24.280 next year? 0:12:24.880 --> 0:12:28.480 Well, we have a lot of English listeners, so let 0:12:28.480 --> 0:12:30.400 them know that you're going to be there then, yeah, 0:12:30.640 --> 0:12:34.080 they can fight into your DMS. 0:12:34.720 --> 0:12:36.760 What is it about English women that you like? 0:12:37.200 --> 0:12:41.080 Well, let's just say that they're quite attractive for a start, 0:12:42.280 --> 0:12:45.280 and not to mention their accents. The accent for me, 0:12:45.440 --> 0:12:46.720 it's quite a. 0:12:46.600 --> 0:12:52.239 Turn on, isn't it. I love an English accent too. 0:12:51.640 --> 0:12:54.199 And their culture seems classy. 0:12:54.679 --> 0:12:59.520 Yeah, you're talking about your dream date in England before? 0:13:00.320 --> 0:13:01.319 Can you share that. 0:13:01.559 --> 0:13:05.000 I dreamed it in England would probably be an English 0:13:05.080 --> 0:13:06.959 high tea with a woman. 0:13:07.800 --> 0:13:11.800 Really romantic like some scones cream and jam, pouring some 0:13:11.880 --> 0:13:12.920 nice terbal tea. 0:13:13.200 --> 0:13:14.200 Which breakfast tea? 0:13:14.640 --> 0:13:18.760 I actually drink fruit flavored tea, yeam. And I would 0:13:18.760 --> 0:13:21.760 also prefer if there was cheese as well, or nice 0:13:21.960 --> 0:13:22.680 and crackers. 0:13:24.160 --> 0:13:26.160 Nice nice. I love a cheese flatter. 0:13:26.800 --> 0:13:28.280 I was just going to ask you. I find it 0:13:28.360 --> 0:13:30.480 hard at the best of times to read women like 0:13:30.559 --> 0:13:33.240 I struggle heaps with that. Do you find it as 0:13:33.280 --> 0:13:35.240 confusing as well? Like sometimes you don't know what they're 0:13:35.280 --> 0:13:37.120 thinking when you're on dates with them, and that. 0:13:37.040 --> 0:13:40.920 Well, I don't really always know understand how a woman 0:13:41.000 --> 0:13:44.640 is feeling, but I do my best to try to understand. 0:13:45.040 --> 0:13:46.719 Yeah, how do you go about doing that? Do you 0:13:46.760 --> 0:13:47.680 ask them questions? 0:13:47.760 --> 0:13:51.440 Ye? Ask some questions and read their body language. Facial 0:13:51.480 --> 0:13:53.559 expressions always give you clues. 0:13:54.000 --> 0:13:56.720 Yeah, I have a question for you. Were you allowed 0:13:56.760 --> 0:13:59.240 to date growing up? Was your parents strict or were 0:13:59.280 --> 0:13:59.960 they pretty chick? 0:14:00.559 --> 0:14:03.640 They didn't allow it really. They wanted me to focus 0:14:03.640 --> 0:14:05.920 on my studies first, so I never had a girlfriend 0:14:05.920 --> 0:14:07.560 in high school. I had no choice. 0:14:08.200 --> 0:14:08.640 Do you know what? 0:14:08.840 --> 0:14:11.440 My parents were exactly the same. I was not allowed 0:14:11.480 --> 0:14:14.319 to date. I wasn't allowed to have a boyfriend. No 0:14:14.800 --> 0:14:17.520 boys were allowed to come over to the house. They 0:14:17.559 --> 0:14:19.440 wanted me to focus on school. 0:14:19.560 --> 0:14:21.600 I wish my parents were a little bit more like that. 0:14:22.200 --> 0:14:24.520 I was too busy dating and wasn't able to focus 0:14:24.560 --> 0:14:25.120 on my work. 0:14:25.320 --> 0:14:27.520 It does seem like a bit of a distraction at times. 0:14:27.560 --> 0:14:33.040 But your parents' rules they seemed pretty restrictive. They trust me. 0:14:34.800 --> 0:14:37.840 So what I love about you, Michael is that you're 0:14:37.920 --> 0:14:41.400 just such a gentleman. And on the show it comes 0:14:41.400 --> 0:14:44.440 across that you have really great morals and values. 0:14:44.800 --> 0:14:46.240 Where did you learn this from? 0:14:46.800 --> 0:14:49.880 I inherited all of this for my dad and my 0:14:49.960 --> 0:14:53.480 mother as well, because you see, my father has passed 0:14:53.480 --> 0:14:56.160 on a lot of his teachings to me. Okay, it's 0:14:56.160 --> 0:14:59.080 a combination of Buddhism and Christianity. 0:14:59.640 --> 0:15:02.400 Great, I actually think I saw. 0:15:02.640 --> 0:15:04.560 I don't know if it was season one or season two, 0:15:04.640 --> 0:15:08.080 but you're really into meditating as well, now, is that right? 0:15:08.280 --> 0:15:12.120 Yeah? My dad taught me meditation, He taught me about spirituality, 0:15:12.760 --> 0:15:13.720 he got me into it. 0:15:14.040 --> 0:15:17.640 Cool. I find that that really helps with that anxiety. 0:15:18.280 --> 0:15:20.320 I suffer from anxiety, so does Matt, and we do 0:15:20.360 --> 0:15:23.280 a lot of mindfulness and meditation to kind of calm 0:15:23.320 --> 0:15:23.960 our thoughts. 0:15:24.160 --> 0:15:27.080 Yeah, I also listen to meditation music as well. 0:15:27.280 --> 0:15:27.600 Cool. 0:15:28.280 --> 0:15:29.560 It always helps. 0:15:29.760 --> 0:15:31.240 It's really relaxing, isn't it. 0:15:31.480 --> 0:15:34.680 And by coincidence, I also happen to have anxiety. 0:15:34.840 --> 0:15:36.120 Do you do?
