I SINCERELY seek a LONG-TERM, LIFE-LONG, ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIP with a LOVING, affluent,
I SINCERELY seek a LONG-TERM, LIFE-LONG, ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIP with a LOVING, relatively affluent, affectionate, Christian, ARIES-BORN "Daddy" who would ENTHUSIASTICALLY enjoy giving me VIGOROUS HAND-spankings on my boyish, BARE BOTTOM gracing his manly lap of luxury, while He would be comfortably sitting on the central edge of his clean, large bed! These chastisements would be manually administered on a CARING, yet strict, regular basis just for fun, for my very own good, and last, but not least, for God's greatest glory!
Afterwards, this special man would show me his appreciation for my submission by TIGHTLY HUGGING ME! Simultaneously as I would be affectionately hugged in this moving manner, I would manifest my GRATIITUDE by offering my dearest father figure who has previously chastised me with his powerfully paternal palm MANY SPONTANEOUSLY HEARTFELT HUGS AND TANTALIZINGLY TOUCHING, TENDER, UPPER-BODY, RAPID-FIRE KISSES, the latter taking that "one-in-a-billion" man 's breath away!
May the Resurrected King of kings, namely Our Lord Jesus Christ in His highest Heaven greatly bless that exceptional father figure, wherever on planet Earth he may be located, as well as whomever he may possibly be!

I'm a Daddy looking for a son.
Older Country Man for Younger One I'm here to find a younger (35 +/- 15 yrs.) horse lover to share my horse property with. I want to make it a "family" partnership. And I want to find a guy who's mature and has a good head on his shoulders so he can take over from me one day. I've met plenty of guys that who say "Yeah, I'll do that." But I want to meet one that will say "WOW! I would LOVE to have my own horse ranch some day!" I prefer guys whose height/weight ratio is at least reasonable..... muscular is a+++. I like those who are masculine, non-temperamental, a bit adventuresome, and good humored. I prefer a "soft" personality, i.e. a guy who is low-key, relaxed, patient, modest, sensitive, and romantic. Somewhat submissive guys are fine. But that doesn't mean "feminine". HONESTY and openness are necessities. As if that isn't enough, other "positives" are unselfish and optimistic. Do I want "Mr. Perfect"? No. This is just my "wish list".

It's never been about looks for me; it's about kink compatibility.
As long as one of us (preferably me) is tied up, well gagged, totally helpless, and completely dependent, I’ll be happy. Rope, cuffs, tape, or restraints are all fine as long as you can’t get free. I prefer bandanna gags but also use hoods, gas masks, and other implements to keep the bottom’s speech muffled and unintelligible. I don’t believe bondage has to be pretty to be functional.
I like to get into the head of my partner to find out what turns him on. Longer scenes are a plus when I top. Sex is usually not a part of the scene for me; it's the mental fuck which I much prefer. Clothing, especially jeans (501s), leather (including my unique fetish for wallets),boots, and gloves are a big turn on. Enforced chastity (under clothing) in public also works for me.
It's all about being in control or being controlled. . . .
GAGS, tight black leather, bondage, gloves, mustaches/goatees, tight 501s, robbery scenes, kidnapping fantasies, leather wallets, breath control (giving only), bikers, cowboys, men in suits, real men, gear, chastity. I love wearing the other guy's clothing/gear down to the details even if it doesn't fit.
Other interests: Photography, swing dancing, cooking, calligraphy, shorthand systems.

I'm an easy going, friendly, approachable guy with a wide variety of interests, including the gym, love country music and dancing, rodeos and much more. Love a guy who is masculine, friendly with a good sense of humour. If you liked what you read, shoot me a message. Let's get to know each other. Don't let distance be a deterrent, I'm mobile.

Mature man looking for same to develop a good, genuine friendship and trusted confidant around my own age. My ultimate desire is to establish a long term relationship, hopefully the friendship would develop into it, if we decide to go there. Looking for someone who can communicate openly and honestly. If we become intimate during that development that's fine too. Ready and willing to take a chance on developing a friendship first and see what develops from there.

Looking for another GenX guy or rebel Millennial to do things together with. I like stoic type guys
who don't necessarily need to be talking all the time because sometimes silence is golden. Sometimes nature has more to say than we do, and we listen...
Enjoy outdoor physical activities like walking, running, biking, or blading. We actually have some hills around here, a little known geographical treasure in FL! This state is not all flat so let's sweat some going up those hills!! Plus other sports like kayaking, canoeing, and definitely any cool sports or even entire lifestyles you bring to the equation :)
While I would like to initially establish friendship based on intellectual and philosophical commonalties, if the chemistry is right you never know what may go down HA
But it all comes down to chemistry and that's coming from a chemist ;)
Even if you just want to talk about global warming, or the lack thereof, or some other esoteric topic, send me a message and let's chat!

Outdoors guy here, total jeans and boots too, blue collar by profession also. Grew up with farming
and to a lesser extent livestock also. Athletic build and clean cut, not "out," so looking for the same. Simply put, I'm not the typical gay guy, I work hard most days and get dirty and want a man that's also not afraid to get dirty. Down to earth and laid back and can tend to be somewhat of a homebody. Love to find a cowboy to go to rodeos with, camping and just do things in general. You could not be too cowboy for me, love cattlemen, horsemen and rodeo cowboys. Guys that are not afraid to get dirty especially their boots are my type for sure!! Looking to start as friends and hopefully it will take off from there. Laid back and down to earth...if this sounds good please hit me up! Pics coming soon!

Well, let me start by saying I am a born and raised Albertan. I am just your average ginger guy. I
am career-driven and more of a suburban-rural type of guy. I tend to like the simpler things in life and like to take things as they come. I have no great expectations on dating sites but in small hopes of meeting similar-minded dudes with the same interests and drive as me.
I am for one not much for the gay scene, I rather be camping and hiking or hunting or fishing or 4X4ing or Quading, and boating even going horseback riding and checking out rodeos. I love checking out the Auto or Outdoor shows along with the home and garden and big Motorbike shows. I am always down for random road trips from the mountains to the countryside to Kelowna to having a pint on a patio somewhere. I do watch hockey and some other sports, to just a simple horseback ride. I love country music and rock mainly as well 80s. As for shows I love to watch The Walking Dead or Netflix

I'm just a guy looking for another guy who doesn't need to overact his role as a man. I'm not into
bear types, nor am I into twinks. Just a genuine guy who can enjoy hanging with another genuine guy and twist wrenches, or go camping... maybe do some DIY projects. I live on and manage a horse boarding ranch but work full time as a truck driver traveling all over Oregon and Southern Washington.

asshole. All I'm really wanting is to have sex. Not looking for a husband,boyfriend,partner or long term mate. I'm looking for no strings,no drama, no hangups guy(s).I have wheels and can travel.
