MrTDG...

Mutually beneficial arrangements are self-explanatory ... until they aren't. Miscommunication can cause situations to fail prematurely so please bear with my verbosity. I enjoy sporting events, outdoor activities, evenings out, quiet moments cuddled up, gadgets of all kinds, and I am truly comfortable in my own skin. Happy beginnings are a nice precursor to happy endings. I approach my quest for that ideal SB in a cyclical manner: anticipation of discovering and finally meeting her builds desire, desire drives my interests in her unique qualities to intensify, the intensity lights the fire to fill the information gaps brought on by the initial anticipation, then the process repeats until our arrangement is solidified. I seek to learn, to understand, to teach, to encourage, and mostly to share my multitude of blessings with the SB that I haven't given up on finding. If you're crying out for that guy, I'm listening. Albert Einstein said, "The more I learn, the more I realize how much I don't know." A corollary is that as we continue to learn so much about so little in relationships, we end up knowing everything about nothing. I strive to be a benefactor in which both parties are much better collectively than they could ever be individually. I've been reared the right way, so I don't need a woman to attempt to raise me but I'm open to judicious upgrades. Respectful and a gentleman/chivalrous by birth right. I'm not the guy who promises that I'll always be there, then go missing when you need me the most. Reserved in public, yet always placentious and uninhibited in private. I can't claim to be "the best candidate", but I'm certain that you can and have done much worse than me. Everyone who's good to you isn't good for you, so I'd like to be both. My intentions are honorable as I look forward to investing in a woman who has the potential to be an asset to my life while I be instrumental in hers. I believe that part of the worst advice people are given is: "Good things come to those who wait". I urge you not to wait for that train that may never come. Good things come to those who take control of their circumstances and strive for what they want without waiting for others to comply. This type of site isn't my first choice for finding that special lady, but I recognize that I must get out of my comfort zone to find what I seek. I'm the type of man who prefers to read your body language instead of deciphering your text messages. I genuinely enjoy helping make others happy and seeing them achieve the best version of themselves. I simply need your permission, the proverbial green light, to put a permanent grin on your face.

Mutually beneficial arrangements can be more than win-win. We're all imperfect/flawed in some way, so I don't expect you to be perfect since I know that I'm not. The antiquated "cooking & cleaning" skills are useless to me because restaurants & cleaning services are plentiful (kudos if you completed culinary school though). I seek a lady who is committed to lifetime learning & willingly shares her wisdom. She understands that sacrifices can be made without turning herself into a martyr. She values herself & demands that she be celebrated. I am prepared to pamper & nurture her, not because I can, but because she motivates me to do so. She knows the value of things & not just the pryce. She embraces the moment, whether that is directing "Driver, roll up the partition, please", clarifying "Some call it 'arrogant', I call it 'confident'", proclaiming "You must not know 'bout me" to "Upgrade U" because there's no need to "call Becky with the good hair" (Queen Bey). She views being a SB as a lifestyle choice & mutual investment, not a profession or transaction. I'm not proud that I've become an expert at saying final goodbyes, so I'm hoping that she can get me used to saying "it's great to see you again". I'm looking for a woman who will make it easy to take it easy and trusts that my choosing to be patient and take my time with her doesn't indicate hesitation. If she expects the best of the best, she should be a reflection of what she seeks. Seeking bigger and better aspects to life are expected, but don't be "average" and then perplexed why "exceptional" eludes you (you already now the answer to that). She has to believe that she has just as many great days ahead of her than those behind her; her story is still unwritten ... fairy tale ending or otherwise. Prior SB experience with a suitable mentor and someone who's done her research is preferred but not required ("New to this" = exciting for you, but potentially aggravating, time-consuming and tiresome for me) since there are levels to this lifestyle. The woman I seek is ready to go for what she wants. She must resist the urge to stand on the sidelines while watching others surpass her and prosper and come claim this glass slipper.
