Smart looks (suit/uniform) and gentleman type atmosphere are important.
I do have both dominant and submissive sides in me. I do have a strong personality. I am open for a relationship of unequals or equals. I feel that dominant person (Should it be me or the other person) should be prepared to shoulder a larger share of cost of living for both - where these would be shared in equal relationship. I feel that submissive partner should support and help the dominant persons life by taking care of menial tasks. Details to be negotiated. Submissive partner should strain to develop himself.
24/7 live-in arrangement is an serious matter. In my view the process should include following steps. 1. Initial contact. 2. Discussion of limits, expectations and practical matters over phone, internet etc. 3. 1st meeting in person (1 day - 1 week) 4. Trial period (3 week - 3 monts).
I like tickling.
I do realize that some submissive persons blossom under special conditions. I can provide following as dominant.
* Salvery - Very hard to get out contracts. (Only after 18 month relationship for the responsibility of the master is as great as is slaves commitment) * Hard corporal punishment on occasional basis.
