Date men and women from United States / Alabama / Clio, 64 year old

Date a soulmate from Alabama, United States. I am an educated gentleman and a good conversationalist well versed on many subjects. I am looking for a middle aged to older lady for an intimate long term friendship. Personality and ability to be a best friend is much more important than physical beauty.
An air-headed model holds no attraction to me.

Meet a man from Alabama, United States. There once was a man named Bob
Who never did run with the mob
Then golf was surely his game
And par was always the aim
But as he grew somewhat older
He had to get a bit bolder
He knew that love there was lack of
Like dough was something he needed
So with a good deal of dread
He got on the world wide web
Now match is surely his game
And love is always the aim
So, as you too do grow older
Do try and get a bit bolder
Give me not the cold shoulder
And leave me not in a folder!
So some may leer one day and say
"I do not know what he told her"
So all may cheer some day and say
"I do not know how he sold her"
No need to fear or to vote nay
For he has no need to mold her
And it is clear even today
That he just wants to hold her
I am an honest and straightforward individual. I am reasonably good looking and intelligent. I have been married once. I have two sons that both have B.S. degrees. They are self-supporting and live on their own. I live alone. I have no pets. I am a non-smoker. I love to play golf. I used to ski a lot but ski only a few times a year now. I run 2-3 miles 2-4 times a week. I like to hike and cookd and bang on my keyboard. I am a volunteer fire fighter for the local fire department. I am also an EMT-B and drive an ambulance for the local hospital once in a while.
I am a man of few words but I am articulate when I have something to say.
I am looking for a women who is willing to speak her mind but feels no need to speak mine. I am looking for a women that smiles a lot and always has a twinkle in her eye for me.
As you can see from my poem, I do not take myself too seriously. I am looking for a last love in my life. First and foremost, I am looking for a friend and companion and confidant.
I want to find someone who wants to spend time with me doing things that we both enjoy but also someone who has some interests of her own and is happy that I have some interests of my own.
