Married At First Sight's Michael Goonan isn't afraid of speaking his mind.

As he made his debut on Monday night's season premiere, the 28-year-old businessman said he wished he could turn 'good looking women on silent'.

Earlier he also boasted about his wealth, and his love of 'watches, nice cars and shiny toys'.

During his introduction, he said: 'I'd be lying if I didn't say I have a taste for watches, nice cars and shiny toys. I've worked hard my whole life and I pride myself on that. To be able to reap the rewards is fantastic. I'd rather cry in a Ferrari.'

This was followed by several close-up shots of Michael's expensive gold watch as he sat behind a desk in his office.

Michael is the director of his family business, Adelaide Ice, South Australia's largest ice manufacturing and packaging company.

Discussing his love life, Michael said: 'In my past, I've definitely dated a few girls that you would stereotype as a ditzy blonde, with the fake nails, fake lips and Louis [Vuitton] hanging off the side.'

After a few bad experiences with the same type of woman, he now wants to be matched with 'someone with a bit more depth'.

'I want a girl who knows what she wants, and she's going to grab it. I would love that,' he added.

Outspoken: 'In my past I've dated a few girls that one would stereotype as a ditzy blonde, with the fake nails and lips,' said Michael, who hopes to be paired with 'someone with more depth'

When Michael met the other grooms at their bucks party, he spoke negatively about some of his ex-girlfriends.

During an argument with Ivan Sarakula, Michael said: 'We've all been with a good looking girl and listened to her, and been like, "Ugh! Turn that thing on silent."

'You know what I mean? We have, you have... you get me, like.'

He then proceeded to mock Ivan, asking how he plans to behave on his wedding day and if he will kiss his bride at the altar. 

Ivan replied: 'No, I have no expectations, dude. This is a wedding, be respectful.' 

Michael snapped back: 'What are you going to do? Give her a handshake? I think you'd make her look like a mug if you didn't kiss her.'

Married At First Sight continues Tuesday at 7:30pm on Channel Nine
