I’m a 42-year-old man living in the north of England. I’m looking to meet a younger woman for a monogamous, long-term, traditional relationship, ideally leading to marriage. While that is my long-term aim, I’m happy to take things slowly and I'm not looking to rush things.

I’m looking for a partner who shares my love of traditional relationship dynamics. This is not necessarily about my partner being a stay-at-home wife (but we can discuss that if that’s your dream). It’s more about a dynamic where we have well-defined and complementary roles. A relationship where I take the lead and am head of the household, taking responsibility for the big decisions and providing protection, support, and guidance, along with strict but caring discipline when needed. A relationship where I help my partner be the person she wants to be, including by setting rules and boundaries and enforcing them. And where, in exchange for that, my partner takes pride in being devoted and attentive, prioritising me and our relationship above all else, and supporting me in reaching my goals.

About Me

I’m single with no kids, and I’ve never been married or engaged. I’m 6ft (1.84m) tall, about 170 lbs (77kg), slim, and in good shape. I’m intelligent, well-educated, successful, and attractive (or so I’m told). I’m honest and genuine, and I value integrity and a sense of right and wrong. I like to spend time outdoors walking in the hills, as well as quiet nights in with a book or a film, and occasional trips to the theatre or to see live music or comedy.

Who I’m looking for

I’m looking for an adult (cis) female who is intelligent, articulate, caring, sweet, genuine, and loving. Someone younger than me, who takes care of her health and fitness and is in decent physical shape. A woman who takes dating and relationships seriously and who is not (and has never been) into casual encounters. Someone curious about the world and who dreams of meeting a man she can grow to trust and respect and give herself to completely.

Any relationship with me will be caring and loving at its core. I’m looking for someone who will value the guidance and emotional support that I provide, and who will appreciate lots of physical affection. I find shyness and nervousness attractive. I don't mind if you have no experience at all or if you’re not sure what you’re looking for - I'm happy to gently take the lead and guide you.

If you’d like to chat, please send me a chat request and introduce yourself (or just say ‘hi’ if you’re not sure what to write).

I look forward to hearing from you.
