Name: Mario Austin
Age: 27
Occupation: Marketing professional/yoga instructor
Identify as: Gay
What are you looking for in a mate? I’m looking for a man who’s very comfortable in his own skin. Confidence mixed with an amazing personality go a very long way. I also love a man who is willing to give yoga a try!
Biggest turn-off: Pessimism. Life’s too short to not be grateful for each day.
Biggest turn-on: A killer smile. There’s nothing like a confident guy smiling from ear to ear.
Hobbies: I love working out, swimming, reading, writing, traveling and teaching yoga.
Describe your ideal first date: A fun activity. Whether it’s a go-kart race or trip to a museum, I always enjoy dates out of the norm.
Favorite TV show: “The Golden Girls” (of course)
Celebrity crush: Michael B. Jordan.
One obscure fact about yourself: I’m very physically flexible.
