Hey James & M.L.A team,

We found your details on Gumtree and would like to know more …
(http://brisbane.gumtree.com.au/c-Community-activities-hobbies-Mens-Lifestyle-Association-Sunshine-Coast-W0QQAdIdZ312431736)

In order to build up a network of Similar Interest Groups, we want to add you to the relevant section on our website and hopefully participate together on events from time to time.

Please confirm/update the details below:

Club/organisation name: Men’s Lifestyle Association – Sunshine Coast
Location: Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia
Website: http://www.thecentreforpeace.com.au or
Social site(s): http://www.facebook.com/pages/Im-a-Bloke/158068894278120?sk=info

Tel: 04 38 559 788

We also suggest events organised from time to time by yourselves (opened up to individuals meeting agreed criteria) where possible future members can join with your members on an activity and get to know more about you.

Thus we are also sending you a criteria checklist to better understand your club/organisation and your preferences/requirements when it comes to potential members. This will not be made publicly available and is purely for internal use within the network to find synergies and avoid serious conflict. Hence please do not attempt to be politically correct on this checklist, as you will only create room for offense to yourselves and others in the process.

To better illustrate the checklist and to give you a better idea of ourselves (apart from our affiliates), we populated the checklist with our details, which you are welcome to overwrite with your own and send back to us.

Criteria	Doesn’t matter	Mandatory	Preferred	As long as they don’t try convert us	Curious	We’ll try convert them	Not ideal	Rather not	Notes
Area			x						Brisbane, AU 25km radius International – Johannesburg, ZA 25km radius We envision more cities,  states and countries in this year
Gender: male		x							See http://www.adventuremates.outventure.net/faq Question 4
Gender: female								x	We are negotiating with www.adventurouswomen.com.au (Adventure Club – Just For Women) to work together
Age: below 18								x	Legal aspects – we’re not in the mood to play dad, unless it’s a dad&sons weekend
Age: 18 – 21							x		Generally too immature
Age: 22 – 25					x				This could work and we have had 22yo’s in the group before, but they’re often too involved in student social activities and don’t attend enough events or never have any money. We can only sponsor them that much
Age: 26 – 30			x						Most our ideal members are 25-40
Age: 31 – 40			x						Ideal
Age: 41 – 50					x				Not a lot of members in this bracket yet … maybe they don’t like the idea of sleeping in a tent any more?
Age: 51 – 60					x				None at the moment, but open to the idea
Age: 61 – 70					x				None at the moment, but open to the idea
Age: 71 – 80					x				None at the moment, but open to the idea
Age: 81 up					x				None at the moment, but open to the idea
Ethnicity					x				We don’t have colour boundaries, but have found that our culture boundaries (adventurous guys that enjoy outdoors and bonfires does draw it’s own colour boundaries i.t.o mostly white guys, but that doesn’t mean a white american guy who doesn’t understand a BBQ will make it into the group
Body type			x						Sixpacks are nice, but we just prefer guys being in fair condition as to be able to join on activities. No need to be very fit
Diet			x						We don’t mind vegetarians, etc. but we usually provide for the carnivorous & omnivorous types
Fitness			x						Just prefer guys being in fair condition as to be able to join on activities. No need to be very fit. As long as guys enjoy adventurous events
Sporty-ness			x						Frequently we build sports activities into our events. As long as guys enjoy adventurous events. We have a few sports stars in the group, because they appreciate being handled like normal guys and not turned into icons
Hobbies			x						Having hobbies is a good sign of a balanced individual. Killing people is not a hobby!
Disabilities							x		Although we look out for our mates to the best of our abilities, everyone is there to look after themselves. The venues we go to don’t always cater for disabilities and our events also demand good movement and coordination
Health			x						We wish to all remain healthy and everyone is there to look after themselves. We prefer guys with contagious bugs to keep it to themselves
Sexual preference		x							We have straight, curious, bi & gay guys in the group. Yet we require guys to be masculine (straight-appearing & behaving) as not to have any labels drawn to the group as a whole. As long as a guy is open -minded enough to be nude around others as sometimes the shower is a waterfall or a dare could involve skinny-dipping or streaking. This is not a sex or dating club.
Sexual activities				x					We don’t encourage sexual activity on events or amongst members, but we all know the average male has to find relief now and then
Religion				x					We steer clear from discussions and agendas around faith. Everyone is welcome to believe what they believe and all religions are welcome, as long as they don’t come with a religious agenda
Spiritual				x					If someone can do cool things like Harry Potter and turn small tents into big rooms, they’re welcome to practice it on events, otherwise do it in private
Substances								x	Apart from the occasional few drinks, if guys can’t have enough of a good time on our events and need drugs or other escapes from reality, we’d rather not have them on events

Have a good one!!
