Recognition of the difficulties of rural and regional Australians in meeting and finding social outlets and potential new partners has again been highlighted by the recent screening of the trials and tribulations of a group of rural Australians on the hit TV show “Desperately Seeking Sheilas” and through other media outlets.

Now there is a very real, practical, affordable and accessible solution to that age old problem of rural guys and girls getting together and all single regional Australians achieving satisfying relationships.

An innovative online website has just been launched.

www.hunksnspunks.com.au is a major new internet communications resource directly addressing social inequities in Australia’s rural and regional areas.

Easy to use, www.hunksnspunks.com.au has been developed to facilitate a wholesome venue that will provide an effective and affordable communications venue for all Australians who are or remain "country at heart".

Each respective single will parade before you like a virtual line up of potential friends, mates, or lovers. Best of all, you get to meet these singles while wearing your grungy sweats and propping your feet up on your computer desk. There's not even a need to primp with makeup or splash and cologne.

Welcome to the world of online dating! It's true that eyebrows used to rise whenever some new couple announced that they met online. Newspapers and magazines published in the early 90s were plastered with articles about Internet meetings and sexual flings. Now online dating is the cultural norm, a practical choice over the traditional dating scene. And the outcome can be just as good as (or even better than) traditional dating methods. Marriages are regularly initiated over the Internet.
