Everything on my profile is literal and people keep decoding it

Looking for
somebody who takes plain sentences at face value
Experience
Ten years, two dynamics, both of them exactly as advertised.
Around
Friedrichshain, Berlin

When I write that I want a weekly arrangement with clear obligations and no sexual element, people assume I am being coy about something. I am not. There is no hidden second meaning, no gradual reveal, and nothing being held back for later. The words on my profile are the whole of the offer, and the amount of effort people put into finding the subtext is genuinely remarkable.

Forty, Friedrichshain, dominant, ten years in, two arrangements both of which were precisely what I described at the start.

Part of this is the app. Everybody writes around the rules and around the moderation, so everybody has learned to read for what is not being said, and a plain sentence gets treated as a code that has not been cracked yet.

What I run is a weekly structured arrangement centred on service and standards rather than anything physical. Obligations through the week, reporting, correction that is verbal, and a written agreement at the start.

Not looking for anybody who is waiting for the real version to be revealed. Not looking for somebody who agrees to the described arrangement while assuming it will become something else. And not looking to have this argument in month two, which is why the post says it twice.
