Very few people who see me in my public life would suspect that I am submissive in private. I am a strong personality and frequently the person in charge of others, which may be why I enjoy the freedom of relinquishing control to someone else. I have found that I can't be submissive at the drop of a hat. At a bare minimum, I need to respect my partner and enjoy his company. The stronger the emotional connection, the more control I am comfortable relinquishing.
Yes, I have a law degree, yet I choose not to practice. I'm blessed with brains, but I prefer to lead a simpler, more creative life. I frequently tell my friends that deep down inside, I'm really very shallow. If you understand both the truth and the irony of that, it's a good sign.
I am ready for a long-term relationship, but I realize that no relationship starts out that way. There will be no hard feelings if one of us determines it's not the right match, but I am only interested in men who are available for a long-term relationship should the chemistry be right.
If you're interested, read through the rest of my profile, including the "additional questions." I'm always touched by someone who actually takes the time to read my profile and respond to it, rather than just emailing me a cut-and-paste introduction attached to a copy of his profile. I assure you that I will read your profile before I respond.

My Ideal Person:
The type of relationship that seems to suit me the most could best be described as a master/pet relationship. I like to feel protected and cherished, and I respond well to positive reinforcement. I enjoy partners who are assertive, even demanding, without being a bully or rude.
I need my partner to instill in me a belief that he truly DOES know what's best for me, not that he's just making it up. And in order to do that, he has to get to know me first, understand what makes me tick.
On a practical level, I would prefer a partner who doesn't have a traditional 9-to-5 job. My work is primarily on evenings and weekends, and I would see very little of someone with the usual day job. And to be brutally honest, although I am financially secure, I am in the category of hard-working people who have neither a retirement plan or health coverage. It would be nice if my partner did!
