Ah, where to begin... I guess maybe I should start off with a little background. My name is Jerry. For ten years I was married before my wife passed away. When we first met she was the most beautiful, most wonderful person. Over time, she became my personal nightmare. Yes, there are abusive women out there. And because of that, I will not enter lightly into a relationship until I am sure that I won't be reliving that nightmare. And because of that time, I've come to realize what in this world will make me the happiest.

I am a dominant personality man, but I am no asshole. I believe strongly in an older concept of manhood, where the man may have been the dominant, but he treated his Lady as a Goddess. The helpless maiden appeals to me, as does the loving servant/slave. I expect my Lady to be every bit the lady in public, as I am the Gentleman. When we are alone, though, Sir Jekyll goes to bed, and Lord Hyde comes to play. And Lord Hyde likes his women on the dirty side. I'm not particularly hung up on looks, but I have realized a few things. I'm not superficial, but if your profile picture doesn't grab me, I'm not clicking on it. Also, I like my women on the petite side. I have known a wide range of body styles wile dating, and have realized that skinny short girls do it for me the strongest. If I can't man handle you during sex, it takes the fun out of it for me.

I am very much monogamous. I enjoy BDSM clubs, but swinger clubs aren't my thing. I devote myself wholly, heart and soul, to the woman I am with. That woman becomes my "Only", and I only have eyes for her. My interests listings are pretty indicative of who I am. I am highly intelligent (I'm honestly pretty humble), and need a woman of whom I can hold intelligent conversations with. Women that are avid readers tend to fit this bill.

I retired early from the Army 3 years ago, and have been able to kick it back a notch in life. I'm very easy going with a fair amount of free time on my hands. I need a woman who can help me fill that free time by exploring the world together by way of our mutual interests. Don't hesitate to start the conversation. It's not brazen, it shows confidence. And if you're confident, I want you in my life.

Thank you, ladies, for your time. I hope to find someone soon. I'll admit to loneliness. One can be surrounded by people and still be alone.
