My name is Michael. I am a 35 year old male. I am a single native Long Islander (New York) who has been living in the west valley for 15 years now. I'm pretty chill and laid-back, but at the same time, I am also very schedule orientated. If that makes sense.

I of course work and I do drive and own a car. I work out nearly every day. I'm not religious, mainly due to the fact I grew up Catholic. If you want to talk about that, we can do so in our chat.

I am looking for a potential relationship, not friends. If you want friends, look elsewhere so we won't waste each other's time. Also I don't want something polyammorus or to be the side guy. I want someone ideally in Arizona in particular the west valley (as I live northwest of Phoenix.) I can be flexible though. I am looking to go Saturday to the AZ Star Fair mainly for monster trucks. What else, I'm open to figuring out.

If you plan on messaging me, here are my deal breakers: If you are looking for a godfearing man, I likely know you are a bot. If you cheated, 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 marijuana, that is fine (I personally can't stand the smell of smoked marijuana, sorry) If you are overly religious, don't message me. If you are racist or sexist (even to men), don't message me. If you don't like jokes especially dad jokes, 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. I have a weird smile where I can't smile on command (like continuously for pictures) but I do naturally 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 do wear flannel, lots of flannel. I weight about 210-5lbs right now. I have lost nearly 85 pounds since last September. I am no longer as big of a BHM as I once was and more muscular. I attached pictures from a recent monster truck show I went to as well as other photos. I look mostly the same besides my beard growing in a bit more.

I'm into movies, music (mostly rock, punk, metal and country), working out, taking walks, Disney, hockey, football, monster trucks (going to Monster Jam in April and as I said, maybe to the fair at the end of this month as well) and comic books. I am starting a master's program to become a special education teacher in January.

If I do not reply, it is likely due to being at work or driving. I work 7:45-3:15, so if you don't see me text between say 7:00 and 4:30 MST, I am not ghosting you. I work in a school so reddit is actually a blocked app/website.

My DMs and chat are officially open.
