My stats are:

Male: 32 years old

I live in Allegany, NY state. I'm willing to drive 3-4 hours one way to meet and get a relationship started. Would be nice and I'd appreciate if we could meet up halfway if this is the case.

210lbs(I go to the gym 4-5 days a week to change that get into shape)

5'6(Short king, though I've got enough love in my heart to be 6'7)

Here's some honest SFW of me and my (cat)son. I apologize for having a round face, but as I said, I'm working on it. - https://imgur.com/a/14rhAy9

I do not want kids. Not because I don't want a family, but the world that exists today is not a world I would want to bring them up in. More time and money for us anyway. :)

Apparently there's something supposedly wrong with being so serious when it comes to Love and relationships, so apologies if I sound like a love-obsessed person... Well. It's all I've ever been.

My likes, hobbies, etc:

--------------------------------

I work 2nd shift as a Cleaner in a rehabilitation center/nursing home.

I have a reliable car. Whatever time I have after I work, go to the gym, and come home and shower: is either spent eating dinner, playing video games(ZZZ and Helldivers 2 for right now), watching anime that isn't too "fan-servicee", or a combination of all 3. As much as I so desperately want to love and be loved by someone... If things I enjoy make your downstairs dry, I'm not changing for anyone, so there's the door. I'm definitely introverted, and I do have a social battery. I go out to eat and see movies by myself. I'm fine. If we're out with each other, I'm fine. Anymore people than just us, I don't want to stay out for longer than like 3-4 hours. Exceptions to this are vacations, romantic treats for ourselves, etc. Also hate big crowds sounds, but I can deal to an extent(like concerts or live performances if that's something you like). I'm also a sensitive, emotional guy. I get moved by beautiful scenes in movies or songs that tug at the heart strings juuust right. Not full on crying, but tears do fall. I also enjoy anthropomorphic characters in films and shows, or generic testosterone filled movies like "Fast and Furious", "John Wick", "300"... You get the idea. All genre of movies/shows I like except romance. Ironic, no?

I don't smoke, drink, or participate in 420. I don't hate any of it, but I grew up having to deal with the scent cigarette smoke around me constantly, and I prefer to never deal with it again. Don't mind vaping scents though. Alot of them smell great. I wish I could find a alcoholic drink I enjoy, but I just haven't, so I don't drink any. Much prefer carbonated stuff like Monsters or Venoms.(Mango is my fave for both!) Unfortunately due to me taking better care of myself, I have forced myself to drink mostly propel(berry), or I find other zero sugar options to help in the weight loss journey.

I have ambitions to get a place I can call my own, a dog, and you: my forever girlfriend. I would say wife, but I tried that once(10 years together, 7 married), and it's not something I want to risk or chance again. As a man, I can only lose or be played. Unless there's a prenup agreement. But even then. It's stupid that it takes up to 2 years to get out of, but a day to get into. Make no mistake though, it's not a commitment issue on my part. If I'm with you, you're the only person I have eyes for. That's it. Life without love is not a life I'm happy living. I'm not miserable without a partner, but my god does having one make lifes' joys all the better.

--------------------------------------

Preferences in my partner:

--------------------------------------

Height doesn't matter to me. You tall? Tall lady <3 You short? I'll give you uppies and carry you to bed princess!

If we were the same weight, I'd be happy as long as you are taking care of yourself(Not eating too much junk food, leaving garbage everywhere, capable of basic upkeep, etc). Both of us will be sharing chores, I promise haha.

Age... Honestly if you were 10 years younger than me, but no older than 5 years, that's fine too.

I do not give a flying fuck about politics. I see so many "No Trump/Biden Supporters" phrases on dating apps, and it's just mind-blowing how they can put "Open-minded" with their profile. It's mind-boggling.

I just want you to be happy with me. I cannot create that happiness for you, but I can promise with me, you will never experience another day in your life you do not feel loved or appreciated. But we do need to aim to make each other happy for everything to work long-term. I want to be able to love you without being criticized for my way of showing it. I love to bring us out for dates. I love to hold and be held by you. Make me feel wanted, and you'll recieve the same in turn. Yes, there will be some times where we want to do our own things without being joined at the hip. We're allowed to have different hobbies and opinions. That doesn't make us love each other any less. We build each other up, bring up and work out any problems we have, and that will make us stronger together. That means no secrets. Which leads me to the last section...

NON-NEGOTIABLES Red Flags

-----------------------------

Open-phone policy once exclusive.

No: "My phone is private and you can't touch it ever." I've played that game before, and I know how it ends.

I do not have the desire or need to see what you're doing on your phone, but if I'm with you, I trust you won't do anything to hurt me. If you're acting weirdly defensive about or hiding your phone, I'll assume something's up, and it needs to be addressed. I have your password, and you have mine. I'd give you mine if you asked for it for whatever reason.

No "content creators"(You know the kind I mean). It's 2025 and I can't believe I have to even mention this, but here we are.

Do not under any circumstance weaponize my vulnerabilities against me, or say something you can't take back. This goes for me to you as well. It's a major sign that you don't respect me, and hold hidden resentment towards me that shouldn't be there. I can be civil. Never worry about talking to me about anything. Even if it has the possibility of hurting me.

Open communication. That's it. Tell me about your day. That co-worker who pissed you off at work. How you saw a bunny in the yard or a pretty dog or car on the way to wherever. Please. Don't lie to me. Trust is the only thing we give to get back from someone else. But once it's gone... It can sometimes never be regained.

THE END

------------

Very much hoping for someone to message me back who's interested... Every night and every morning I hope that day will come. And this dreaded search can come to an end.
