My DMs and chat are officially open. I repeat, my DMs and chat are officially open.

My name is Michael. I am a 35 year old male. I am a single native Long Islander (New York.) I have been living in the west valley of Arizona for 15 years now. I'm into movies, music (mostly rock, punk, metal and country), working out, taking walks, hockey, football, monster trucks and comic books. I am starting a master's program in January.

I am looking for a potential relationship, not friends. If you want friends, look elsewhere so we won't waste each other's time.) I want someone ideally in Arizona in particular the west valley (as I live northwest of Phoenix.) I can be flexible though.

If you plan on messaging me, here are my deal breakers: If you cheated a partner, don't message me. If you are abusive or controlling, don't message me. If you smoke or vape don't message me. If you do drugs, don't message me. Note: if you use marijuana edibles or other non smoke, that is fine (I personally can't stand the smell of marijuana) If you are racist or sexist, don't message me. If you don't like jokes especially dad jokes, don't message me. If you are looking for a polyamorus relationship, don't message me. If you aren't ready to be in a relationship, don't message me.

Looks wise, I am 5'11" blue eyed with short black hair, and I am working on growing a beard again (a recent haircut ruined it when my sideburns were trimmed). I have a weird smile where I can't smile on command (like continuously for pictures) but I do smile. I do wear glasses. I dress like a mix of a nerd, rocker and a skater off the clock. While on the clock it is polos, button-downs or at least nice looking tees with slacks. In fall/winter I wear flannel, lots of flannel. I weight about 220 right now. I have lost 75 pounds since September, so that shows I have drive and no longer as big of a BHM as I once was. I attached pictures from my recent vacation back in June. I look mostly the same besides my beard growing in a bit more.
