I'm Michael, 6'2", 200lbs, 17% body fat, had a vasectomy, childfree. I really love gaming, hiking/exploring, reading, learning new art skills and honing existing ones, and history. I'm pagan and while important to me, doesn't have to be to anyone else. My special interests include reptiles, the ancient Celts, foraging, science, 80s alternative music, gothic horror, surrealism, cyberpunk, and speculative fiction. Currently playing through FFXVI.

I currently work nights in a warehouse but looking for a remote daytime IT position. I'm sober and no longer own a car, nor do I intend to as I'm saving a lot of money this way. I intend to be completely out of all kinds of debt soon, and I enjoy living simply. I've never been one with expensive tastes or a lavish lifestyle and I am most content with the changes of the seasons and quiet time.

On my days off, I usually go hiking, hit up a cafe, read, play games, work on an art project, etc. I used to frequent Ren Faires, D&D, conventions, all that jazz. Tried to branch out and after about five years of going to different events, performing poetry and music live, going to sports and hiking events, etc to try to branch out, I found I just don't enjoy crowds nor relate with most people. I was raised nomadically when younger, grew up in Alaska, and I was diagnosed high-functioning autistic back in 2022. I've seen so much of the world and I've done nearly everything, but the things that bring me the most joy are drawing, reading, exploring, or gaming, so my own aspirations and goals are really only to maintain what I have while being debt-free.

I love meeting new and interesting people! I am compassionate and sympathetic, but highly driven by intellectual curiosity and pursuits. I really would love a partner who enjoys sharing their knowledge and fascinations with me on any subjects of their choosing. Looking for someone nearby. I recently lost 140lbs in the last two years and so I'm looking for someone with a healthy weight because I was rejected a lot when I was fat and now fitness is a major part of my lifestyle too.

The ideal partner would be someone who enjoys time spent together, though by no means do I desire to monopolize someone's life. I really enjoy watching things together, or simply doing our own thing in the same room. My dream would be to simply have someone to come home to and sit with me most nights, together. I really want a companion, though nearly five years alone has taught me that I can fill my own time quite enjoyably. I miss intimacy and closeness, and the joy of investing in someone else's dreams and goals. Work and effort feel so much more rewarding when pursued for the happiness of someone else worth it in addition to myself.

I can't wait to hear from you! Send a message and I absolutely will respond, even if uninterested.
