I'd don't consider myself a normal "dom" because I refuse to be type-cast. I like to think of myself as a "man". But maybe not even an "average" man.
I don't like roles assigned by others, but embrace them if they serve my needs. I am not a sadist but can inflict pain, especially if it has a reason and serves a purpose. I am generally quiet and unassuming, unless I decide for my own reasons to not be, then I can be a clown, a bully, a peace-maker, a killer, a lover, a cold-hearted SOB or a romantic.
I am a man who avoids conflict and violence, unless it is required, and then I don't half-step, I go for total death and destruction. I'm a pacificist who believes that violence is sometimes the only correct response.
I am a compassionate person, but I don't let my compassion control me. I can shoot my own dog, and remain silent and aloof, but grieve in my heart. I'll never tell you.
I think before I act. I think while I'm acting. My actions almost always serve multiple purposes.
I believe a man's word is sacred, and should have value not because of other's expectations, but because of his own values. I've been known to give my word, and take it back. I'll tell you when it happens, and why. I won't be put in a box of expectations.
I have a large ego, but it mostly justified. I'm falliable, but not often. I've learned that although I'm most often right, there is always someone better at any particular thing, or area of knowledge, so it pays to listen closely to others, no matter who they are.
I don't believe in ostentation and display, but in calm and quiet competence and control. I prefer quality over quantity.
I like people, but generally only in small doses. I like women better than men, and hold men up to a higher standard. Not many meet that standard. I don't expect them to, and I'm rarely disappointed.
I listen. I learn. I try to teach and guide those very few who I think show promise, or are ernestly interested in learning.
I'm impatient with fools and idiots, and have learned that most of the time it doesn't matter what you say to them, but that sometimes you can shake up their world and get to a real person underneath. Sometimes it's just fun to watch them twist and flap in their own stupidty. Sometimes it's better to just let them live with their illusions.
Sometimes I take pity on them.
Children and small animals hold a big place in my heart. They don't know any better and look to adults for love, guidance and protection. I have no pity for people who excessively coddle either children or pets.
I'm anal when it comes to detail, but have learned that "something good right now" is usually preferable to "something perfect" in the undefined future.
I don't settle for "good right now" when I can avoid it. If I can, I'll go without rather than settle.
I'm sarcastic, but have learned that not everyone appreciates it, so often hide it in small actions and in big words. Read my shit closely, or I'll be laughing at you.
I like attention, but think it can be a trap. The deep attention of one person, is worth more than the fame and adulation of the masses.
I'm a leader, and a damn good one, but I prefer others take the lead. I stand back and assist unless failure touches my goals, then I step forward and take over. You'll be happy I did.
I'm a simple man, with simple taste and simple desires. But no one every seems to believe me.
