What is 'MAFS' Season 17 groom Austin Reed looking for in his partner?

'MAFS' Season 17 star Austin Reed was asked by the therapist, Dr Pia what qualities he wants his partner to have.

Pia elaborated and asked, "Do you want your partner to have the same qualities as you do, or do you want someone to help bring that excitement out of you?"

To which Austin responded, "I mean is it weird to ask for both. I think there's everything in moderation, right? I want someone who's like a little more structured and someone who can kind of keep me on task."

He further added that he wants his partner to be able to hang out and meet new people and "just you know, talk to my friends and have that energy would be great."

Dr Pia summarized Austin's expectations and said, "What you've got someone who is professional, very structured, very ambitious and organized and also like talks full of energy."

Austin admitted, "That's exactly what I want."
