37 [M4F] #SC #EST Academic type with a curious mind and a sharp edge

Hi! I'm from South Carolina. I’m a white collar academic who values curiosity, rigor, and charm.  Looking for an OA with the potential to become in-person if chemistry, timing, and location align.

I’m drawn to women who are intelligent, self-possessed, and emotionally aware. Confidence and competence are incredibly attractive to me. I tend to appreciate women who are comfortable in the lead.

Politics matter. I’m firmly left. I value consistency, communication, and emotional presence. By trade I’m an engineer but I work in academia as side hustle. I like precision in ideas and people.

I’m submissive in the Dom/sub sense would enjoy building that kind of dynamic with the right person. Preferably something that feels natural, respectful, and mutually engaging.

Outside of work: fitness, cooking, animals, politics, and disappearing down the occasional intellectual rabbit hole. I take my coffee black. I will defend the Oxford comma. The Empire Did Nothing Wrong (in my opinion).

Discretion and OPSEC matter.

If you’re sharp, a little playful, and have a perspective you’re willing to defend, send me your best bad joke or a hot take.
