I do not enjoy dating, I’ve come across too many women who say one thing, but aren't ready for depth.
They have been... still healing from past relationships, emotionally unavailable, not fully over their exes, not genuinely single, or too busy. They give up way too easily. They claim communication matters but rarely communicate openly. They display narcissistic tendencies, desire pampering without reciprocation, practice hypocrisy, set double standards, deceive through "catfishing," they dishonestly put filters on their pictures, attempt to change me to fit their ideals, overindulge in alcohol, or compromise their safety—and mine. Some women I've dated start feeling jealous even before we're officially together. In summary, most often, they're women who haven't completed the inner work needed to genuinely embrace the type of connection I offer, yet they present themselves as open.
No more.
If you're still in the healing process, working through your inner journey, or simply seeking pampering, I wish you the best.
Are you dating with the intention of building, toward the possibility of a relationship?
I’m looking for someone who’s emotionally available, speaks up when theres an issue, and is looking for a partner with which as a team will work through life, together.
Is that where your head and heart are too?
With so many dating options out there, do you think people sometimes pass up someone great because they’re busy holding out for some perfect checklist?
Or do you think it’s more about recognizing real value when it shows up — even if it’s not packaged exactly how you imagined?
Are you ready for your last first date? To potentially stop dating?
Before you go any further, if you are dating with intention of building, toward the possibility of a relationship and understand that no matter how many options there are out there, at best only a select few will both check off most of your "boxes" and have your interests at heart, then...
With me, you'll feel secure, alive, and valued.
When life gets tough—and it will—you won’t face it alone. Whether it’s the joy of success or navigating the realities of aging and life's inevitable challenges, I'm your teammate, protector, and unwavering support.
So, if you treat yourself like a queen—with a luxury vehicle or a Tesla, etc, fresh nails, and class — chances are we’ll vibe.
My life is already fulfilling—great career, emotional balance, financial stability. I'm not looking to fill a void; I'm seeking the right partner to amplify our combined greatness.
I’m not for everyone — and I am good with that.
I’m searching for my future wife. Everything I do, I do with her in mind. Could that be you?
You’re fit, voluptuous, social, affectionate, and love being adored. You thrive in your femininity, take pride in how you present yourself, and strike that rare blend of glamour, sophistication, and playful edge.
Bonus points if you’ve got a sharp mind, strong opinions, and never ask for permission to speak or be yourself-- you own it.
Physical beauty is abundant—but without depth, character, or ethics, it quickly loses appeal. I value both visible beauty and the inner beauty one can trust.
I am looking for a partner who has the following qualities:
Women who:
You are seeking a man who knows precisely what he wants, moves with masculine clarity, and remains composed under pressure—power without ego, generosity without dependency, leadership without controlling behavior.
You desire a man who will make you feel safe—emotionally calm, financially secure, physically grounded—and ignited—mentally challenged, passionately alive, and fully seen.
With someone you will feel secure enough to radiate your femininity—and empowered enough to match energies.
You crave luxury with meaning, purposeful adventure, passion devoid of drama, and most importantly—a man who sees you without revolving around you.
Clearly communicated expectations aren't about overthinking but intentionality.
Too often, people chase chemistry before checking compatibility—like test-driving a car before checking if it runs on the fuel you use.
Stating expectations upfront prevents confusion and enhances connection. Unspoken assumptions breed false hope and confusion.
My straightforward expectations:
Emotional Safety & Real Talk Matter to Me
I’m the kind of man who values honest communication over guessing games. If something feels off—whether I accidentally said something that didn’t land right, or you’re just not feeling the connection the same way—I deeply respect a woman who can voice that openly. I admire someone who wants to sort through things together, not sweep them under the rug or bolt at the first bump. I believe the strongest bonds are built by talking through things, not avoiding them. Silence breeds assumptions. Conversation builds clarity—and connection.
I’m not the guy who disappears, particularly when the going gets tough. I’ll protect what we have—but only if we’re both showing up like it matters.
When it at least comes to these things, I will not let you down.
In a partnership, I commit to:
Together, we can build a partnership where:
Imagine:
Let’s be that power couple ... Let's build something grand.
After our first date, expect to hear from me — daily. I believe in consistency, not guesswork. Respond whenever you have time. No pressure.
Simple progression from call to video chat to in-person.
Geography won't hinder the right connection.
Respectful progression, comfortable pace. I won’t push beyond what you're comfortable with.
As for first dates — I don’t kiss or sleep with someone that night. That’s not about holding back—it’s about being intentional.
My friends describe me as ambitious, relentless, compassionate.

I am divorced with two daughters, aged 9 and 7, who primarily live with their mother. I have them every other weekend. We co-parent effectively, without issue.
I keep a tight inner circle—loyal, driven, and trustworthy people who inspire each other to be better.
If you have kids, that's fine with me. I am open to 1-2 more kids but with the right person. Otherwise, I am indifferent as I already have two children.
I have over 20 years of experience as a senior executive in my industry, real estate & construction. I design and build communities from the ground up--turning raw land into neighborhoods where families build their lives. It's high stakes, hands-on, and every inch has my fingerprint on it.
Whether we’re sharing laughs at a comedy club, engaged in deep conversation, or getting competitive over a board game and red wine — I’m all in.
Connection is my primary interest—the activities merely set the stage.
I’m building a life that leaves the world better than I found it — starting with education reform. That is, disrupting education through wealth & discourse. I believe the next generation deserves more than debt, confusion, and broken systems. I want my daughters — and all kids — to grow up in a world where they’re empowered, prepared, and protected.
If you're the kind of woman who wants more than comfort — someone who wants meaning, momentum, and a future we’re proud to create — we’ll speak the same language.
Everyone says communication is key—yet so few actually communicate. My biggest frustration is people who say communication is important but don’t actually communicate-- such as speaking up when something’s bothering them, leaving issues unresolved and misunderstandings unaddressed. Life happens, mistakes happen, misunderstandings happen—almost everything is fixable or at least negotiable. You could have two people perfect for eachother, and each has different learning styles and communication styles. I would figure out a way to sync up with learning and communication styles, not give up just because it took some extra work. Even cross-cultural or cross-contextually, communication may take work but it is important work. If you’re willing to speak openly, listen sincerely, and embrace honesty—even when it’s challenging—you’re exactly who I’m hoping to meet.
I subscribe to an old-fashioned kind of masculinity — the kind that doesn’t compete with femininity, but balances it, protects it, and draws strength from it.
To me, a real man leads with service, not ego. He takes care of his people, acts with generosity, and stays calm under pressure. He owns his mistakes, walks with discipline, and finds humor where others would get triggered.
He doesn’t need to raise his voice to be heard. He doesn’t tear others down to feel strong. And he never forgets that real power lies in restraint, clarity, and presence.
Modern dating sends mixed signals. Be emotionally available — but not too soon. Be strong — but not cold. Show you care — but don’t show it.
Here’s where I stand:
I’m masculine, grounded, and emotionally present. I have no interest in playing games or being fake.
I don’t play coy. I don’t fake disinterest to bait attention. That’s not strength — that’s strategy dressed as insecurity. And, I’m not here to perform. I’m here for connection — grounded, honest, and real.
Between two otherwise same guys, one guy plays "hard to get" and another guy is emotionally open-- the guy playing "hard to get" is just playing with your emotions. That's not sexy, that's manipulation.
If I feel something, I’ll express it (because I mean it) but respectfully, getting a gauge for your level of comfort and calibrating accordingly. You don’t have to match my pace — but you’ll never have to guess where I stand.
What matters most? That we both show up. No masks. No games. No timelines.
If you’re an emotionally available woman who values emotional depth and masculine leadership in the same man — we’re already speaking the same language.
I wish women appreciated how safe I try to make them feel—emotionally, mentally, and relationally. That women appreciated how rare it is to find a man who can handle the truth without blowing up or shutting down. I don’t run from uncomfortable conversations—I lean in and learn. I believe problems should be worked through, not walked away from. I just wish more people saw that as something worth holding onto instead of testing or walking away from.
It's been more than once that I've been called the “perfect man”—just before they bolt.
Apparently, clarity, confidence, and intentionality are attractive in theory, but terrifying, to some, in practice. If you’re emotionally mature enough to embrace a real connection without flinching when it gets meaningful, we’ll get along perfectly.
I’m not perfect—I’m just perfectly clear about what I want. If you are too, you know exactly what to do next.
I think what is lost on people is the fragility of living, of partnership, of the amazing set of circumstances that had to lock into place for two people to meet. It looks easy but it was years in the making, most of it outside of our control, a 1 in a billion type of gig. If there is a spark, a glimmer... two people can face anything, by taking life as it is-- dirty and rough, but made beautiful by not giving up and standing by each other.
Naturally, chemistry is a key aspect to a romantic relationship. There's physical chemistry and there's also mental, spiritual, emotional, etc chemistry. Physical chemistry may shift over time, but for something to last, there needs to be at least some spark across all dimensions—emotional, intellectual, physical, and beyond.
Whether the passion hits instantly or builds over time, what matters to me is that there’s connection across all the key dimensions—even if just in part.
If something feels off, or you're just not feeling "it," speak up—chances are, it's just a misunderstanding we can easily clear up. But if it's really not clicking, no worries. I'm not everyone's cup of tea—and I'm good with that.
I’ve encountered women with serious issues—addictions, legal troubles (trial kind of stuff), lack of stability or ambition, self-absorption—who expected to be pampered without offering anything meaningful in return, want to change me to suit them, "cat fish" me, and one that made a commitment to me only to abruptly cut the string of stringing me along. I can confidently say I have never put a woman though the things I have experienced. Around some, I've come out worse off.
So when I say I do not enjoy dating, it comes from experience.
If things don’t work out between us after the first date or post relationship, that’s ok—open communication is all I ask for. That's an opportunity, and I appreciate constructive feedback before anyone calls it quits.
If anything, my intention is that, worse case, after time with me you will be better off than you would have been otherwise.
Not just from personal experience but seeing others, people seem to give up way too easily and aren't willing to do the work, when the entire point of a relationship is to do the work--- but together. No matter how great the connection is, there's still going to be work.
I'm passionate, expressive, and comfortable moving forward with intention. I will thrive best with a woman who is:
If one of us catches deeper feelings first, that’s not a problem — as long as we’re both communicating honestly and moving forward with intention. Real connection doesn’t always move in sync — it just has to move with respect.
As for jealousy? I don’t entertain it. If we’re together, I trust you. I’d rather focus on what we’re building than waste energy on hypotheticals.
I’m naturally affectionate and value physical intimacy, but I approach it with respect and patience. The total connection is more important to me than the act itself. I honor boundaries and am always open to adjusting if I come on too strong.
I have had women be disingenuous, touting a strong sex drive competing with mine, only to be told later that we were having too much sex. Please be honest and set realistic expectations, don't just tell me what I want to hear.
I’m here for commitment — regardless of labels, a partnership grounded in mutual respect, emotional connection, individual and shared growth, building us both up. One where we move as a team, support each other’s visions, and keep the spark alive through presence, passion, and purpose. And, we choose each other daily, work on this daily — not from obligation, but genuine desire.
I do not enter into a relationship until I am sure I can honor it fully.
I have committed to and loved a few women in my life and they still have my respect. Because they chose me, and we chose eachother and we built each other up. That has been my experience.
I see conflict as an opportunity for growth, if handled effectively. I stay calm, give the benefit of the doubt, and stay open to feedback. Misunderstandings don’t rattle me, they reveal where deeper connection can happen.
I’m not looking for perfect communication,
just honest communication.
If something’s wrong—whether it’s something I did or something you're feeling—I want you to know you can tell me directly. I won’t shut down, get defensive, or throw it back at you. I’ll listen, I’ll try to understand, and I’ll take responsibility where it’s mine.
I’m attracted to emotional maturity. To someone who’s willing to work through challenges instead of giving up when it gets uncomfortable. I don’t play games, I don’t punish honesty, and I don’t need you to walk on eggshells.
I just need you to feel safe being real with me—because that’s the only way this becomes something real. So if something feels off, just say it — I’ll do the same. No need for drama or awkwardness, just clarity.
My best match would have a lifestyle that aligns closely with mine, minimizing stress points like:
We all have a past — and not everything written online reflects the full story. It can reflect someone else’s unresolved or false story. Especially when emotions, misunderstandings, or agendas get involved. If you ever come across something negative, I ask for one thing: perspective. I’d rather you ask me about it and let me respond. I’m not afraid of tough questions. That’s how I live — and how I lead.
We start slow — I make breakfast while you stretch or hit your workout, then we fuel up and head out for something active or adventurous.
Afternoons might be time with close friends, or just us — music on, doors open, and sunlight pouring in as we reset. Evenings? Either we’re dressed up for a night out or curled up on the couch, wine in hand, some old jazz or a great movie playing.
We laugh often and touch without thinking. And even the small things — like making dinner or cleaning up together — feel lighter because it’s us.
That’s the rhythm I’m after. Not just romance — but real life, lived well, side by side.
Let’s build. Try. Lead. Explore. Create. Host. Experience.— together.
If you’ve made it this far, thank you!
You now know the basics about where I stand.
I’m not here for smoke and mirrors. Life’s too hard and too short for surface.
Truth comes out inevitably, so better upfront than wasting each other's time.
If you want to be and feel safe, wanted, inspired, supported, seen, and fiercely alive—in a partnership grounded in trust, chemistry and mutual respect--then let’s talk.
And if I'm not the right fit for you — no hard feelings. I wish you well.
Your move.
