Obligatory, "I'm married" and heading towards divorce in the next year or two - just tackling some debt and taking care of some things to put us both in a position to be successful after the split. We still get along well, we are just roommates who barely even talk to each other most days and have had a DB for almost a decade.

The highlights of me:

• I live in the Midwest (CST). I own a condo within a few miles of where I grew up

• I grew up playing football and boxing, so I've always been a bigger kid. As an adult, depression pushed me to be far more overweight than I ever thought I would be

• I'm 5'7", have a beard, and I'm well ahead of my weight loss goal for the year

• Major nerd. Lover of PC games, most things Disney (Marvel, Star Wars, etc.), Harry Potter, and countless other things

• I have the time and emotions to put into this - I probably have more free time at night/weekends than I do during the day depending on my meeting schedule

• I can text all day and night and I am available for voice memos/phone calls at night/weekends, as well as typically being more available

• I'm perfectly happy to start slow and build to something real. I'm not trying to rush anything

What I'm Looking For:

• Open to long term if there's a connection

• Clingy is great. I love clingy

• Under 45, but I admit I tend to go for early-mid 30s

• From the US/Canada, and ideally not in PST. It's not a deal breaker, but I have noticed that it tends to make forming a connection harder when our schedules are 2 hours off (I'm CST)

• Be nerdy. It doesn't have to be a classical nerd, but you need to be interested in something and love talking about it. I don't care what it is, but be excited and tell me all of the things about it no one else cares about

• Open to all body types, but tend to prefer short, thick to BBW women. Ultimately, who you are matters far more than what you look like, though

Honestly, I'm a simple man who just wants someone who's willing to match my effort. If we have a great conversation before bed and I message you in the morning to say "Good Morning", it'd be nice to hear from you that day, not 3 days later.

The only hard requirements I have is that you use either Discord or Telegram and are open to moving to that if we hit it off.
