I am a dominant man. If this offends you, then please look elsewhere.

If, however, you are a woman who is attracted to the sort of lifestyle
that this implies, then welcome to my life and my profile.

For the most part, I'm fairly easy-going and rather old-fashioned in
my thinking. This means I guide the relationship that I want. This
does not mean I am domineering or abusive. Also, it does not mean that
my woman must be mousy and silent. If she were, she would not be able
to uphold her side of the relationship, which is really SUPPOSED to be
a PARTNERSHIP. The sort of partnership I want is one we both fulfill
each others needs and wants. The only sort of woman who can do this
with me is a submissive woman who truly understands the concepts of
love, communication, commitment, and fidelity.

If this sort of relationship, or partnership, interests you, then
let's pursue it and see how compatible we are. Let's interact as long
as it is pleasant. If it becomes unpleasant, we learn why, and see if
it is still workable. If we can't agree on a solution, then, quite
simply, we are not meant for each other. If we do, then the rocky
turbulence will make our relationship stronger.

A romantic relationship requires work to maintain, but that work
should be enjoyable. If the "maintenance work" becomes tedious or
excessively laborious, the joy fades and the relationship becomes a
burden that needs to be shed.

Ideally, I want a woman whom I can see on a daily basis. This means I
want you to live close enough to me so that this is feasible and have
a schedule that is light enough so this is possible.

Many men will post what "body type" they prefer, but I choose not to
do that. The reason for this is that my preference in women is
wide-ranging and unpredictable, even for me. So, if you think you are
"too thin" or "too thick", let me decide whether I think that is true
or not. It is very irritating to me when I tell a woman she is cute
and sexy and she doesn't believe it. I have seen many profiles in
which the self-described "body type" in no way matches the pictures
displayed. That said, other than "body type", I have a strong
preference for long hair. I love long hair on a woman. It's almost a
fetish for me, OHHH, waist-length or longer!!!

Addendum on "Body Type", as posted by an unidentified woman at another site:

Miss-spellings in the following quote result from a direct "copyNpaste" process. This does NOT dilute the quality of the quote.
What should the title of this be? "The Perfect Woman"? I don't know, but she describes it "PERFECTLY"!

QUOTE:
-------------------------------------------
At first glance she seems perfect.
Tall and graceful, slender and beautiful.
High firm breasts, flat stomach.
An illussion, a goddess, the ideal woman.
The woman every man wants and desires.
Then they look at me and compare.
Short and plump, Average at best.
Large full breast, the sag of age touching them.
A stomach that has felt the wonders of pregancy.
No, I am not the ideal.
But what I lack I make up in other ways.
Eyes that look beyond and deep inside.
Seeing the good that hides and is buried.
A heart that has loved uncoditionally.
Through good times and bad.
Arms that ache to hold, love and comfort.
No, I am not His Ideal.
I am me
I am real.
-------------------------------------------
END OF QUOTE

My response to the AUTHOR of "The Perfect Woman" or ANY woman who wishes to say the same thing to me simply is as follows:

You say "I am me, I am real." I am that way as well. You have some physical "defects" that can be offputting by some, as do I. My only solution to this is that we meet and learn if our compatibility can override our "defects".

Sadly, I have my limits, as do you, without doubt. With you, you may be "too thin" or "too thick", or you may have some other problem with which I am ill-equipped to deal. With me, you may ALSO find there is some characteristic with which YOU are ill-equipped to deal. With this in mind, and PRESUMING the fact that you have read my ENTIRE profile, do us BOTH the favor of a simple "meetNgreet" over a coffee or soft drink to see where we both stand. Without cruel specifics, if one of us finds the other "unattractive" for WHATEVER reason, a SIMPLE statement of "We are wrong for each other" from EITHER of us SHOULD be sufficient.

Barring the "unattractive" communication scenario, all FUTURE communications MUST be HONORED and responded to. A failed response TERMINATES the relationship UNLESS a VALID reason can be given.


The following is a list of things I noticed on some women's profiles.
I think I will be adding to this list continuously, along with my
response to each item, so this is, I suppose, a "work in progress"?
Anyway, the list:

----- Prefer Not To Say -----
If you have "Prefer Not To Say" anywhere on your profile, then I prefer not to waste my time with you. And as far as I'm concerned, "Undecided/Open" means the same thing. I want "Yes", "No", or a CLEARLY decided answer. If I have contacted you in error, NO RESPONSE IS DESIRED. A simple "read/deleted" or "unread/deleted" is all I want from you. POF takes care of the rest. All you must do if you are NOT interested is to simply DELETE the message. The resultinhg response will be quite sufficient. Thank you.


----- Tattoos And Body Piercings -----
These are repulsive to me. An exception to this is the small,
unobtrusive, tastefully done, feminine tattoo, such as a flower or
something of that nature.

----- Massages -----
I must be very odd when it comes to this. I have never received or
given a massage. Quite frankly, I really don't know how. I may be
interested in learning, though, if the right woman came into my life.

----- Mail Settings -----
I had the age range restricted to between 40 and 55, but I have seen
the profiles of many desirable women who are older and younger.
Realizing this, I removed that restriction, but generally it still
remains my preference.
I also used to have the following blocked:
Hang Out, Dating, Talk/Email, and Friendship.
Then, after having read the descriptions on some of these profiles, I
found that many of them were looking for Long-Term Relationships just
like I am, but for some odd reason they had one of the other options
checked instead.
I also blocked users further than 75 miles away, which ignores the
possibility of someone who may be considering a move closer to where I
live.

----- Smoking ----- I unblocked this filter also, BUT, that does NOT mean I will consider an INTIMATE relationship with a SMOKER, so if you SMOKE, ****PLEASE**** don't waste my time or yours. This is NON-NEGOTIABLE!!!!

Hmm, the rest of this got clipped off from above, so I have to continue it down here.

----- Children -----
I don't have any and I don't want any.

----- Spending Time Together -----
---Movies -- I enjoy watching movies, but I hate going to the cinema
to do it, so this is an in-home activity for me.
---Cuddling -- while talking, watching TV or movie, or just being
quiet together is very enjoyable.
---Walking -- I don't do very much of that because I hate doing it
alone. However, doing it in the company of someone who's enjoyable to
be with is good for me.
---Sex -- Regular and frequent sex is essential if a relationship is
going to last any length of time. Sexual monogamy for me begins from
the first time sex occurs with my intended LTR and ends when she shows
that she has lost interest in sex.

----- Pets -----
---Dogs -- Dogs belong outside, NOT in the house.
---Cats -- Cats inside are OK, but NOT in the bedroom. I will NOT
share my bed with an animal.
---Other Mammals -- Should either be in cages or kept outside the
house.
---Reptiles -- Reptiles of ANY kind are repulsive.
