Greetings,
A little insight about myself, and what I am currently seeking. I may have had my proverbial "rose colored glasses" on when starting, but as I've grown older, and hopefully wiser, my views have changed drastically in these last 6 years.
I am a caring, sensual, sadistic, Dominant female, who is seeking a FLR (female led relationship). I am looking for someone that has enough basic knowledge about the lifestyle to understand what kind of dynamic it takes to make a relationship of this nature work. Therefore if you are a newbie, I am not the one that you are looking for. I simply do not have enough time to invest in training from the ground up.
I seek someone who wants, to be in a committed, sane relationship, whom is able to understand, and distinguish that there is a time and place for everything. By that I mean, BDSM is not my only enjoyment in life, I enjoy many vanilla activites as well, and expect my partner to be able to function in that element as well.
I have as many real life issues as the next person, and am seeking a partner that is based in reality, as opposed to living in the fantasy realm of online. I'm a real woman, I smoke, drink, and like to have fun. I do not care to interact with those who have some "silly" preconceived notion about what a dominant should be, from the pics., and stories they have seen, and read online. Those types have no place in my life; I’m looking for face to face meetings, with a submissive man who is looking to meet a domiant woman, and seeks a LTR.
I am not looking for anything online, long distance, anyone who is attached in any way, or any male that has a hidden agenda. As in those that have a laundry list of fantasies they need “taken” care of before they can fully submit.
I am currently seeking a submissive male, with slave tendencies, who knows their place. One who understands what he wants, who he is, happy with himself, and can communicate with me on all levels. I expect my submissive mate to know their own mind, to be a capable, functioning person, with something to offer this relationship. I understand, and value the submissive mindset, and do not take my responsibility lightly. Negotiation, communication, and trust are the primary building blocks that I want my relationship to be built upon. I enjoy conversing on all levels, and encourage any contact. Feel free to drop me a line, learning and growth are a never ending process. We all have something to contribute to this lifestyle, and I am always interested in differening ideas and opinions.
Be good to yourself, 
Ariel
