I have to put this into a poll as i had a very interesting experience while i was in Fiji.
I was drinking beer in this beach side bar talking with other backpackers when this Canadian girl told me that Aussie guys have one of the worst reputations in the world among females as we are too laid back.
Are we too laid back?

I wouldn't say we are *too* laid back but are laid back compared to other nationalities.
I know I'm really laid back, but that's cos I think why stress? It's not good for your health.
Not sure what else to add.

haha....yeah I bet Bellelass could be a feisty little thing when it comes to fighting over the same guy!! 
I prefer my guys to be laid back. I can't stand when people get their shit all in a knot over the stupidest things. So bring on the laid back Aussies!!

Thanks to everyone for their reply it makes me feel most welcome.
I had to change my user name from dannym to danny cause the computer wouldn't let me log on.
As for Darwin yes i have heared a lot of backpackers say thay love it as it is probably one of the closet things you will find to sterotypical Aus. There are lots of really cool wildlife around here and the weather is perfect for 6 months a year.
Oh forgot to add the best point in the N.T the territorial sport is drinking so that is pretty cool

Aussie guys too laid back? This is the reason that we live longer and have better sex. We don't care, we'd rather have a good laugh and a beer than get caught up in current events and crises around the world!!
The only way to be I reckon.....
