Hey there, you…

My name is Maxine. ♡

Born in Singapore and polished in Australia, I belong a little to both worlds — and I rather like living somewhere between them.

Most gentlemen notice first that I’m easy to be around: warm, playful and curious.

I smile often, laugh easily, and have an ability of changing the atmosphere of a room when I walk into it.

Linger a little longer, though, and you’ll discover there is more to me than my sweet presentation.

I prefer to keep introductions short. Some things, after all, are much nicer discovered in person. ;)

Fluent in the art of conversation, I move easily between different worlds — as happy barefoot at a beachside café as I am dressed beautifully beside you for the evening. I love conversations that wander: from the ridiculous to the meaningful, and occasionally somewhere neither of us expected.

I am genuinely fascinated by people, which means I am interested in you — the man behind the title, the responsibilities and the carefully managed calendar. I want to know what makes you laugh, what occupies your mind when nobody is asking anything of you.

What I’m not interested in is performance, vulgarity, or anything hurried.

There is very little pretence around me. What you meet is what is there.

~~~

What makes time with me different is not only how I look, but how I make you feel.

Relaxed. Seen. Perhaps a little more alive than when you arrived.

I suspect we are not so different in this. Life is much too short not to pursue the things that light us up, and yours is probably already filled with responsibilities, decisions and people wanting something from you.

I have no desire to add more noise to your life.

Instead, I offer a little pocket of fantasy outside of it all: somewhere you can indulge, laugh a little harder, linger a little longer, and simply enjoy being a man in the company of a woman he likes.

I was raised in a high-achieving, conservative family and left Singapore during my university years in search of a more freedom. Australia gave me independence, my laid-back charisma and my warm and friendly nature. As I’ve grown older, I’ve found myself wandering home towards my Asian roots, too — the manners, the culture and that adherence to excellence and discretion.

I can speak both English and Mandarin Chinese at a native level. I’m based in both Australia and Singapore, and travel between both, keep an eye on my schedule page for my movements.

Nothing about our time together needs to be rushed or forced. I prefer to let chemistry unfold naturally: learning what makes you tick, what you need from the time we have, and what kind of escape would leave you smiling afterwards.

The connections I remember most are rarely the ones that followed a script. They are the ones two people created together.

These days, you’ll find me somewhere between Singapore and Australia, with Hong Kong soon joining the story.

Particulars:

Personality type: INFP

Zodiac: Strong Capricorn and Leo in my chart

Likes: Cats, intellect, dark humour, film photography, slow mornings, gardening, airports

Dislikes: Loud crowds, mediocrity, not living life to the fullest, men who look for a menu instead of a person

What people tend to comment on when they meet me:

How quickly I make them feel comfortable, that I seem mature for my age — and, (amusingly) that I’m taller than they imagined.

(Although the heels I usually meet you in may have something to do with that~)

More about me

Outside of the hours I keep for you, I have a full little life of my own — books, the gym, yoga, gardening, getting on planes, and disappearing down the hidden streets of cities I don’t know yet.

I may or may not also be a secret nerd, but I’ll leave that for you to discover.

I have a few small tattoos kept behind a blur for my privacy, and an independent streak that has probably gotten me into as much trouble as it has gotten me out of.

I intentionally keep my circle small, choosing to spend my time with respectful gentlemen with whom there is genuine compatibility.

I am drawn to men who understand presence and discretion; who appreciate that anticipation is part of the pleasure; and who are looking for something beautiful, human and just a little wicked behind closed doors.

Something with warmth and chemistry. Something we might both find ourselves looking forward to again.

If something here has felt like a quiet yes, there is probably little point in prolonging our introduction.

Come and say hello.

I have a feeling we’ll get along beautifully. ♥

Passionately yours,
Maxine

The act of discovering who we are will force us to accept that we can go further than we think.”
