I know there are some good qualtiy women on here and the best bait is a good post!

Lets start with what I have to offer, that way if you aren't interested after you read the first half you don't need to waste your time reading the second half.

I am 49, soon to be 50 in June (Gemini). I look younger than my age perhaps closer to 45. I am fit and in shape, 6ft tall, salt and pepper hair, brown eyes, trimmed beard and clean cut, 195 lbs, athletic build. Now you have a mental picture.

Financially secure, divorced (once 22 yr marrage), child free (but have two daughters), executive, high profile demanding career. Masters degree in Engineering. Naturally dominant, problem solver, decision maker, leader. High IQ and EQ, hard working, and I tend to suceed at what I set out to accomplish.

I enjoy sports (playing and watching), hockey, golf the gym and outdoor activites. I like to create and have built many things, I am good with my hands and mind. I'd like to maybe take a cooking class or dancing classes with a partner. Learn a musical instrument and maybe pursue a pilots licence (for fun not a career change). I am well travelled and wish to do more with the right partner.

I love animals,have almost always had dogs or cats in my life until now. I value loyalty, compassion, perseverance and trust in a relationship. I haven't talked about any kinks...that comes after we make a connection. However I will say I have a pretty good handle on my Dominant side. I'm Dominant not "domineering". There is a massive difference, many men think the two are the same, I'm not one of them.

Ok move on if the above is not your cup of tea! Read on if it is...

What I seek:

- someone to stay young with, not grow old with. Life is short lets enjoy it and play hard.

- Shares my values, at least some of them

- Is employeed and has a good work ethic.

- Submissive tendencies (wants/needs)

- Over 30 years of age preferred but flexible if mature, fit, height and weight proportionate, or petite. Sorry I am not into larger or thick women. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and mutual attraction is important so look to exchange pictures early.

- Monogamist, I tend to be protective and I don't like to share!

- Intelligent, probably more an extrovert (but not necessary), non smoker, non pot head, social drinker.

For the Record I am Canadian and have lived in NYC for 7 years and intend to stay here for at least 3 to 5 years more. After that its pretty open ended as to where I might want to live.
