Birds are born with no shackles, then what fetters my fate?
Will you fetter me?

Hello, dear reader! Will you become a part of Das Märchen meines Lebens? If Fate would allow, perhaps I can provide more than just a temporary buff to your life. Will you accept this ugly duckling for who he is on his journey to become a swan? Could I be the rara avis to your inductive inferences about dating submissive men?

If that intro was too cringe for you, I encourage you to click away. Otherwise, read on and we might just become best friends especially if you got some of those references.

Location and Plans

I'm currently living in Virginia, but I am open to relocating within the US for the right person. My work is flexible enough to be mostly remote. However, we would need to be quite serious by that point and have a solid plan for cohabitation, housing, your work, etc.

My preference is to start online and get to know each other. Then, we can start to travel to each other occasionally for a period of time. When we become committed, we can decide on more permanent relocation.

About Me

I'm a 26 year old East Asian guy with a slim body (5'8, 125lbs). Personality-wise, I'm pretty laid back and have relatively high confidence in many areas of my life. But socializing is not one of those areas, so I often struggle with making connections in large groups. I would crawl into a shell trying to make small talk at parties with unfamiliar people. However, I could easily give a presentation teaching something in front of an audience because I love helping people learn new things. Honestly, I would have probably become a teacher if we lived in a less economically precarious world, but alas, capitalism is a bitch. So instead, I'm a risk analyst using my degree in probability theory. But the job is interesting enough, so I plan on continuing on this path.

Outside of work, I enjoy reading, but I'm pretty slow and tend to read more non-fiction books. However, I do partake in the guilty pleasure of reading web novels as well. After double majoring in philosophy, I also developed a liking to reading philosophy books and I love to yap about them to anyone who is willing to listen. I especially enjoy engaging in deep discussions about various topics from a philosophical lens. If reading a book together and having a thoughtful conversation over dinner sounds like fun to you, then you're my tribe.

I also enjoy dabbling in an assortment of other random interests including: experimenting with cooking, hiking, 3D art in blender, playing tabletop/video games, and piano.

About You

I'm looking for a lifelong monogamous partner who is first and foremost a supportive friend that I pair-bond connect well with. You should be someone who

• enjoys having long-form conversations about both intellectual and emotional topics
• has hobbies you can speak passionately about
• is able to resolve conflicts in an emotionally mature way
• is assertive and willing to take the lead
• likes to make your partner feel pursued and desired

Physically, I need to be attracted to you, but my range is pretty wide. A good match on intellectual and emotional wavelength is far more important to me and contributes significantly to attraction.

Finally, even though I'm a sub, I expect you to treat me as an end in myself rather than merely as a means to your ends. I swear to extend the same imperative to you.

Kinks

I am more inclined toward the role reversal and power exchange side. Much of my arousal is psychological, e.g. being teased with orgasm control or being taken aggressively by you with an uncontrollable desire for me or even some light C-fiber stimulation (IYKYK). Engaging our imaginations with fun roleplay storylines incorporating bondage elements would also be awesome. In general, I'm open to experimenting with many ideas, but the most important thing to me is that any play we do should be fun for both of us!

My limits are scat, watersports, blood, heavy pain/impact, public humiliation, degradation, or cuckolding.

Next Steps

Do I sound like your type of person? Do I sound like a cute little bird that you'd want to protect within your cage? If so, please send me a Reddit chat. I embedded a little test to make sure you were paying attention. Please answer this question in your initial message: why might my Reddit username be a meaningful symbol for me? You don't need to get this right, just try!

Afterwards, please introduce yourself and tell me why you think you might be a good fit.
