Patrick

Age: 34

From: Victoria

Occupation: Operations Manager

At 34, Patrick is ready to put his party-boy lifestyle behind him and settle down with the right woman. Married at 26, his relationship with his wife broke down when he made the decision to move his ailing father into their home rather than a nursing home.

After his father passed away he threw himself into the Melbourne nightclub scene, enjoying a busy dating life. It’s because of this active social life that he often gets labelled a “player”.

A mummy’s boy, Patrick is under the thumb of his matriarchal Filipino mother, Ruby, who still does his washing for him. She is very opinionated about the type of girls Patrick has dated in the past and has extremely strong views on the type of woman he should marry, which she doesn’t hesitate to voice.
