Greetings. Come and meet a gentleman who does not try and dominate others through his ego, or for the sake of it. I believe that the direction of a relationship will form itself through interaction, and later through interest. A person's nature will come through, whether they are submissive or dominant. I won't make any demand of anyone until we have had a discussion establishing that there is a relationship and expectations can be formed of each other.

Most folks find me to be a natural leader and like to describe me as take charge or dominant. I tend to think of it as I just fill the void when no one else will take action. But in all things I will take charge if they are not moving forward by other means. I am not manipulative but I always have control of my own life. I am very willing to guide or teach and tend to be patient in all things. I have my own collection of toys and have tried most everything, and know what I like.

I am in moderate shape, I can work all day doing physical labor, but am not a body builder by any stretch of the imagination. I smoke pipes (tobacco only) and the occasional cigar, though most never know it when they come into my house. I love to cook but not to overeat.

I do not seek one-night stands and find the mental attraction is more important in the physical in the long run, as well as in my initial interest. Sex appeals to me and I guess under a very special circumstance a fling could happen, but it never has yet, and I am not seeking one.

I am straight and am looking for a female friend, and from there we can see what else comes. Sexually, I am very open, but have no interest in scat or water sports at all. In sex I expect my partner to know what they like or at least recognize it when it happens.

I expect honesty in all things. Honesty and loyalty are joined. Communication is important for both.

I expect intelligence and personality in my partner, no matter what our relationship is. I need a partner that does a fair share of the work. I do not expect more then half of the work in a relationship to be carried by my partner. Whether that is financial, housework, emotional, or any other aspect. But I will not accept someone who feels that since I take care of them, they do not need to contribute.

All photos of me here were taken in 2008. All the things listed under Interests: Skills are things I have done for a living at one time or another.
