Tim hails from a picturesque village located along the German "Fairy-Tale-Road", close to the former east-west German border, which bears the curious name "Witzenhausen" ("house of jokes"). 

I got to know Tim around 4 o'clock in the morning in a fast-food restaurant; which reflects the quality of both our diets and nightlife! Tim can thank his job as a professional socer player for his perfect physical shape. 

Tim has a completely obvious scar from a difficult surgical procedure - as a teenager he survived a severe bout with cancer, and was lucky enough to be able to avoid going through the horrors of chemotherapy. 

Altogether I have a great appreciation for people, also models, who have struggled in life, and who didn't have everything pefectly handed to them on a plate - and therein lies their true beauty.

"Fussball" (the German word for soccer, not for "football"!) is still the number one sport in Germany, if not the whole of Europe.  It's embarrassing just how badly the national team usually performs.  In fact, we called it the eigth wonder of the world that "we" even made it to the finals in this year's (2002) world cup! 

I bet that, "for some reason", only 1% (or less) of this site's visitors are interested in soccer.  Frankly, I'm not either: I have a certain mental picture of soccer, and the mentality of its active and passive fans, but it seems to be a prejudice. Tim is smart, well-educated with excellent manners and has a warm, charming charisma,  without any trace of "macho".

Since the physical training and exercise of soccer players leads to such hard bodies, perhaps, one is supposed to be interested in soccer simply for the pleasant visual effects.

More pictures of Tim (preview) are on the MalePerceptions CD 2001+2002. Tim is also well-featured in the new (2004) book "MalePerceptions".
