Am I setting too high a bar holding out for a smart, strong, independent, confident, inquisitive, literate, athletic, authentic, artistic, dog-loving, Seinfeldian optimist with bents for hiking, improv comedy, musical exploration, sarcasm, volunteerism, NPR, NYT & The New Yorker?

I'm far from a doormat. I think I was opinionated out of the womb, and most people in my day-to-day life see me as a leader. I've had successful relationships throughout my life, and several for years at a time. I'm yearning for the woman who compels my urge to surrender and make her needs my sole focus in the bedroom. While I don't identify as a cuckold, I envision fully supporting her desire to pursue other men, if she so chooses, while I remain devoted to her.

Well, a man can dream ...

Note .. CS has a weird tick of eliminating apostrophes and commas from profiles and mail, so dont judge any odd or missing grammar here ...
