Hi there! I'm looking for someone ... A certain kind of someone ... That I've had trouble finding in my life.

I'm a 50 year old College Professor in the Sciences who has dedicated my life to my attempts to help the world with better Science and better technology.

But now, as I close in toward a different part of my life, I feel lonely. I've missed out on those fun and connective opportunities. I've never been married or had children. And now, as I want to continue to contribute with Science I also want to expand my experiences of the world with someone very special.

My hope is to travel a lot more in the upcoming years (I already do quite a bit, but would like to do awesome things like live in foreign countries, travel all over, have new experiences in different cultures, etc.)

But my dream is incomplete without the right partner. I hope it's you!

Who is thia elusive person? Here's what I'm thinking: I normally think about compatibility as having several layers, like a cake. There's primal (are we physically attracted to each other), emotional (do we relate the same way and have compatible emotional needs), intellectual (do we have something we enjoy in common to talk about and/or do together), and long-term ideas (do we have the same ideas/goals around what we want to contribute to the world).

With that taxonomy in mind (hey, I'm a scientist, what did you expect? 😁), here's the magical person I'd so love to meet:

Primally: You're submissive. You want the feeling of "belonging" to your partner. I'm very open to pushing that feeling all the way to you feeling "owned" by me, if that's what you want too. You want a man to protect and support you, and maybe provide stability and structure. That feeling of having a man give to you in that way feels good, and can be a relief. You're highly adventurous sexually, and are open to new things under my tutelage and support.

Emotionally: You're open and honest about your feelings. You don't play games. You care about maintaining a genuine connection as friends and lovers, and know that for a real relationship to work, it takes making the relationship a priority. You're reflective on your emotions, and thoughtful about your own emotional process.

Intellectually: You're curious and reflective about the world around you. You love learning new things and having new experiences. You enjoy intellectual stimulation.

Long Term Ideas: You don't want children. You'd rather have a life of fulfillment through all kinds of experiences we can share together. You're either wanting to change the world, or are willing to be emotionally supportive of my efforts to do so ... If you were a teammate in changing the world, we could work to do that together!

I'm not sure if this is too verbose, but I have the sense it will resonate with the right woman. If you're out there ... I've been looking for you. Have you been looking for me too?
