47 [F4M] ##Michigan # #Anywhere #Relocate

Hi there! I am 47, white, no kids, divorced, monogamous, currently living in Michigan. I am 5'6, 155lbs, dyed brown shoulder length hair (originally blonde), green eyes. I get compliments on my eyes and smile mostly.

I have a lot of interests and hobbies: Bowling, the beach, camping, hiking, fishing, reading, museums, casinos, documentaries, history, travel, golf, disc golf, foodie, vintage and thrifting, old cars and car shows, breweries, parks, card games, board games, not into playing video games but love watching others play and cheering them on!, pool, darts, music, concerts and festivals and watching sports (mostly NFL and college football) but also like watching baseball and basketball in person.

I'm looking with intention. I want to talk with someone with intention of moving off this app, to texting, calling, videos, and if it turns into more, with the expectation of me relocating. I have a career that I love and allows me to work from home full time with the ability to live anywhere in the US. If you're from Michigan, great! If not, that's great too! I'm looking for someone willing to put in that effort. I know these things don't happen instantaneously and am willing to take the time to put into you and expect the same. As long as our end goals match, we should give it a try.

I apologize for my bluntness. I like to be open and honest.

I thought maybe I could just get my red flags and dealbreakers for some out of the way.

I have debilitating anxiety sometimes and I have a tendency to over think. Like, beat it to death then beat it some more type over thinking.

I am a social drinker and smoker. Sometimes for my anxiety and insomnia, I will smoke weed or take gummies.

While I am on a weight loss journey and have lost 70lbs since March, I will never be rail thin. Its just not how I'm built I'm obviously not obese and also don't think I'm hideous either. Every lid has a pot, right?

Speaking of smiles: About 6 months after my divorce, I went downtown to have dinner and drinks with some friends. As I was walking back to my car alone (I know! I will never do this again!) I was assaulted by 3 guys. They beat me so bad I had broken ribs, clavicle, facial bones, jaw, fractured eye socket and burst ear drum. Other things too, that i don't want to go into. I have no visible scars from the assault, but many mental ones. I'm also, 4 years later, reminded daily of what happened because due to my burst ear drum, I lost most of my hearing in my right ear and they also couldn't save my top teeth (my bottom are fine) so I'm now forced to wear an upper denture. You can't tell by looking at or talking to me.

I wanted to give you my biggest red flags so you can make a more informed decision on whether to respond or not. I really hope they don't scare you away but wanted to be honest.

You: white, single, between the ages of 35 and 60. No poly, ENM, etc. I'm an actual real person looking for real things and responses will not be given on one word dms or people that don't put in effort. Be emotionally available. I won't talk to a wall. Be serious. No games. Please don't waste my time. I like consistent chats (not all day marathons, unless you want to!) and I like to be pursued. A man that is comfortable with himself to let his intentions be known. I'm a bit old fashioned when it comes to dating so if you believe chivalry is NOT dead, we'll get along.

Can trade pics. Prefer sooner rather than later. I would hate for you to fall in love with me and then think I'm ugly. That would suck. Although, I tend to let the personality dictate the looks.

I am very much looking forward to making a connection!

48 [M4F] #Massachusetts - 6'6, accidentally built, still the quiet one at the party

I started lifting in my late 30s and then the hyperfixation took the wheel. Nobody warned me that "new hobby" plus a brain that does not know how to do anything at 60% equals a guy who now goes through doorways at an angle. I was aiming for "less winded on the stairs." I overshot. The rest of my life is much calmer than the shoulders suggest.

I read scifi by the stack, game most nights, and plan cruises with a spreadsheet level of detail that I refuse to apologize for. Soft spoken and a little shy until I know you, then good luck getting me to stop. My two Scottish terriers handle the loud parts of the household.

Divorced 3 years, two grown kids, work from home. Life is stable and I like it that way.

My type has always been curvy, athletic, or curvy AND athletic and no, I will not be dragging you to the gym. That is my weird thing, not a membership requirement. Looking for a woman who likes talking every day and letting something build slowly.

Skip the "hey." Tell me the last thing you got completely obsessed with, useful or not, and we'll go from there.
