I'm not in the market nor were you asking but it probably wouldn't work between us. I am independent but very much go with the flow and I have no need for dominance. You be you, I'll be me. I'd let you know if you did something that wasn't attractive but that's about it. I mean, if a relationship is going to work, I at least need some sexual attraction. Of course, lacking intelligence would be a pain point. Not saying you lack that, just that it matters.
Well I am in the market now. I just bought an old house and what I need is someone who would enjoy being dressed up like a French maid and then I will order him around to do all the cleaning and painting while I lounge. He must also have handyman, carpentry, and plumbing skills.
At the end of the day I will reward him by allowing him access to my body, but only if I am not too tired and if I am sufficiently pleased by his work.
He also needs to have a PhD in some field I find fascinating and be willing to entertain me for hours on end with intellectually stimulating discourse, but also never disagree with me or make me feel intellectually inferior. He must also constantly pay me compliments on my beauty, intellect, sexual finesse, and homemaking skills.

Same. I find it's more or less an exercise of seeing if they're worth the effort of attempting to have an interesting time with, or if they'll leave everything up to me to decide then later whine about having hated it. Power exchange does make things more entertaining. I also think dominant and identity often get misconstrued quite a bit. I find it pathetic when a "dom" is a submissive to their own title for instance...
"Hurr derr do as I say. I won't try to see your point of view cuz I make the rules. If you don't I'll have a temper tantrum, and call it asserting dominance cuz I'mma dom"
I would like to relax and let someone else make all the hard choices, unless they do it wrong then I will despise them for it and tell them in no uncertain terms.
