Right... I could be with someone from any race, as long as they share interests with me and they don't ever dare to cheat. Someone that I could forget that she was a girl and a person that I could treat how I treat my bros. Well, at least she gets called tovarisch instead of comrade. LUCKILY, I found a person that is 10/10 in every field. I came because of her looks and stayed because of her personality.

The other person I likely won't care about. Its whatever that can feed my craving for more power or control that I'm after, just as other people have wanted to boss me around for too long. Once I can't get more from someone, I'm ready to ditch them for another that has more prospects for that. It's possible I could be won over I suppose, but I don't know what anyone would have to do to for that to ever happen.

Almost middle aged is more accurate. A woman who is post menopause or is barren is likely of no use to me. If they're too young though (but past 18 of course), they have too many options to where they don't have to resort to someone like me if they're more desperate or thirsty for a man.

I was of the same mindset, but as often happens- you come around to understand that everything in this world is about leverage.

If you don't have enough of that in your life, people are able to screw you over more or deny you opportunities and various other things. You get tired of it, and want to get into doing that yourself. If you normally don't ever have leverage, you've got to put yourself into situations where you'll have more of an advantage. You have to make your own power plays until you reach the heights you want.

You could also just use stilts if you want to be taller?

Though being addicted to a tv would be annoying for me their phone would be far far worse since at least you can't take you TV everywhere you go (yet...). With a phone there are so many people who will get on their phone and pay no attention to the people around them for me that is an instant no go. As for the sexual part I can imagine 24/7 being overkill and I would probably hate that.


As for me personally I want someone who takes themselves seriously but also can have a good laugh. Just kidding for me the most important things would be good manners and someone who actually respects and understands who I really am, if those are true I think I can forgive most of the other negative qualities about them.

That is nasty and crude physical stuff. Mind games are more what I have in mind, that I want to master. People do that with me, so I got to partake in some of that myself. When you do, you understand why people do what they do. From your perspective it is negative, but from theirs- they're only acting within their self interests. You can't let yourself be too easily set up for disappointment. You have to screw someone else over before they betray you, if you figure out that is their aim of course.

Life can be played like Chess where certain pieces (people) have to be sacrificed to get yourself into the better situational advantage.

Rp and SM can be physical. But most part it is mental.
If you are the dominant (master) you can feel powerful.
But, the submissive (slave) has to set the boundaries and have a save word. So actually the sub has all the power and de dom is in service of the sub.

Life can be played like Chess, true.
But you could also just change your response to ppl / happenings. If you don't behave as they expect you to, you have the upper hand as well.

You could try mindfulness or compassion.

Online dating. Or sometimes they'll get off the couch long enough to look for a date, then once you get settled into the relationship and they feel like they no longer need to put on an act, they stop going anywhere.
