Chapter 1: About Me
Now I see the funny side, now I'm always smiling. That's my philosophy of life!
I have recent photos to share. In the meantime, you'll have to use your imagination as you close your eyes and picture me—6 feet tall, overall thin build, short salt-and-pepper hair, glasses, clean-shaven face, and Italian ethnicity. I get a lot of compliments on my smile, as you can see.
An energetic guy after losing 40 pounds and maintaining my weight for the last 9 years by eating nutritiously and exercising regularly, I'm striving to be the lightest urn in the crematorium. It's important to have goals. I'm making Death work for it, too, by not smoking (tobacco or pot), drinking alcohol, or doing hard drugs. Part of my healthy lifestyle also includes responsibly taking medical-grade cannabis gummies as needed (medical cardholder).
As you're looking at my post, I'm sure you're thinking, "He's talkative!" I bond through conversation. You'll also notice that I'm honest and open. I highly value these two traits in a partner along with consistent communication—all necessary for forming the trust we need for developing a genuine friendship, which is the foundation of a lasting romantic relationship.
But before we get that far, you need to know that I'm child-free. I can't have kids, which I'm grateful for. What I enjoy most about being child-free is the freedom—more time, energy, and money for myself, my passions, and hopefully one day the partner I love. I also value my independence, the peace and quiet of an adult-centered home, and the ability to structure my life around what fulfills me.
I'm not religious, either; I've been a non-believer/free thinker since I was 12. So, what do I believe in? I believe in myself, whatever doesn't kill you simply makes you stranger, and in the healing power of laughter—unless you get shot or stabbed, then going to the ER is best. I can't help but laugh often with my dark, warped, sarcastic sense of humor! I also have a fuckin' foul mouth, but I know when to be respectful.
On a somber note, I've been pet-free since my beloved tabby passed in 2022. But on a happy note, since August of 2026, I've bonded with a friendly neighborhood cat—a tabby/white mix—who comes by when she sees me outside. I sit on a camping chair in my courtyard and she sits on my lap while I pet her. Despite my allergies, I treasure these moments.
As for my house, I've lived here for 22 years, but I don't consider it my forever home. In the meantime, I love how I've decorated it—Star Wars, Marvel, DC geek—and I'm grateful that I live alone.
While predicting the future isn't one of my superpowers, I foresee Vegas being my home indefinitely. I've been here for 30 years from Jersey, love the weather among other things, and I'm content living here.
One prediction I can make with confidence is that I'll self-publish my first book either later this year or early 2027. It's a fantasy erotica love story, and it's nearly ready!
Speaking of erotica and superpowers I do have, I've been giving memorable oral, anal, and foot pleasuring with my talented tongue and skilled hands for almost three decades. It's crucial that my partner enjoys receiving all of these sexual acts (often is ideal). Regardless, I want friendship first, and we'll definitely discuss our sexual health before physical intimacy.
Chapter 2: Relationship Stuff
So I know it's hard to believe, but I've been single for two years. I had a one-year post-divorce rebound relationship that ended, and my ex-girlfriend is out of my life. I learned that polyamory isn't for me.
Regarding the divorce, it's been three years since we filed, after a nearly seven-year marriage. With my ex-wife also out of my life, I'm emotionally available. Out of everything I learned from my marriage, the two most life-changing lessons were: romantic love needs to be cherished, honored, protected, and fostered by both people for it to be sustainable, and stepparenting isn't for me.
In case you're wondering, I'd be open to a second marriage, but I'd also be okay if it didn't happen and we were life partners instead. Regardless, we'd need to live together for at least a year first before I'd make either of those lifetime commitments.
If you're also curious, I have age-gap experience. Yet whether there's a gap or not, I'm looking for a partner who complements me. I'm not interested in power dynamics or someone who wants a man to complete them.
What attracts me to a younger woman is the different energy she can bring into my life. I'm drawn to optimism, enthusiasm, and a sense of adventure that complement my more grounded, direct nature. Different perspectives and cultural touchstones keep us curious about each other's worlds, creating opportunities to share new things, learn from each other, and grow together.
As a hopeless romantic, I want a long-term monogamous partnership that feels like I'm spending every day with my best friend. We'll have shared laughter, talk about everything and nothing, be completely ourselves, and feel accepted for who we are—a love that feels easy, safe, playful, and like home.
We'll maintain our individuality in the relationship, too. I'll need time to myself. That, in turn, will give you a much-needed break from me because while you'll drive me wild, I'll drive you crazy. It's also highly unlikely that all of our interests will be the same, so it makes sense that we'll do some things separately.
Chapter 3: About You
I'm not asking much.
Most importantly, please read my entire post so you can get an idea of the type of woman I'd match well with.
Beyond that, you should live in the Las Vegas metropolitan area because I don't do long-distance relationships. You should also be child-free (you don't have children and you don't want children), be a good person, be emotionally available for a romantic connection, and not use any tobacco products.
Finally, I can't emphasize enough that you should know how to hold a conversation and be willing to share more about yourself because you sincerely want us to know each other better.
Chapter 4: Reasonable Expectations
After messaging on the app for a bit (let's not spend forever here), talking on the phone or video chatting before meeting in person will be necessary.
If that interaction goes mutually well, we'll plan a first date. If our first date is a success, we'll continue dating to see if we're compatible for an exclusive partnership—making that determination together when the time is right.
The End
You made it! Congrats!
Don't worry, there's no book report due—just an optional icebreaker.
