Hello,

That seems a fitting start, no? As per my post title, I'm sending this out into the ethers in the chance that the right person might come across it. I'm a petite woman living a thoroughly emancipated and genteel existence in the Global South. After a lengthy hiatus, I'm tentatively opening myself up to interactions of a less platonic nature with newfound clarity regarding my own person and preferences. Dating apps don't hold much appeal and as I'm interested in a specific dynamic, I thought I'd write here.

I'm very much contented with my life and engrossed in a number of pursuits that I suspect will keep me quite busy over the next several years, possibly decades. I'm a practicing Buddhist and have taken up silversmithing as a preferred creative medium; I'm interested in the objects and materiality, and have mostly focused on honing techniques whilst creating small pieces to gifts to loved ones. I'm a strong proponent of gender equality, skewing ever so slightly towards matriarchy as the ideal social system – I studied Anthropology for a time and Richard Wrangham's Demonic Males was an early influence, a conviction which has only strengthened in the intervening years. I'd define myself as occupying a space somewhere between the virgin goddesses of Ancient Greece and as a mirroring reflection to Octave Mirbeau's Clara; our lifestyles are quite similar, but where she is cruel and sadistic, I'm very much engrossed in elucidating my own ethical position with regards to the wider world and seek, as a guiding principal, to allow my heart to break completely open during this lifetime.

I had some contact with the BDSM scene in my early twenties, but found it didn't hold much appeal. Fantasy, magic and role playing are at odds with my particular preferences, so to that end I'm afraid I'm very unlikely to resonate with anyone who has these as central pursuits. That being said, I'm quite interested in meeting someone with a different yet complimentary worldview to mine, as I find this to be one of the primary draws of interactions with other human animals. I'm drawn to wholesome, milk-fed boys and more traditionally masculine presenting men – I rather enjoy balancing on dainty heels and a strong arm, and generally indulge in more exuberant displays of femininity with a male escort to hand. Please be around my own age range and with a similar lifestyle. Enthusiasm and kindness are important qualities to me, as they should be to you; I can be a bit aloof at times, but I'm irrepressibly nurturing and affectionate, and very playful. At my most sadistic, I am a cat toying with a mouse. I've no interest in micromanaging anyone's life or overt dominance; I'm looking to connect with a compatible equal where a gentle, female-led dynamic is a natural extension to both our personalities.

My life is wonderfully full and I'm in no particular hurry. I'm currently in the throes of an extensive house renovation project, so my bandwidth and time are limited for the coming months and my communication intermittent. I'd like to get to know someone gradually – exchange a few messages on Reddit, before progressing to e-mails, voice calls, video as appropriate with the intent to meet physically when the opportunity arises. I travel as my schedule and commitments allow, and I'd be willing to host the right person in my home. I'm very much looking forward to returning to Seoul for the autumnal foliage, and should be getting to Europe or America at some point in the coming year to pick up bits and ends and visit with friends.

Please respond with your own advert or profile in turn. I'm curious to know who you are and why you are reaching out. What gives your life meaning? If there is resonance, I will respond in time.
