Date men and women from United States / Alaska / Akiak, 54 year old

Date a woman from Akiak, United States. I didn't really know how to describe myself, so I asked my friends what adjectives would describe me and here is what they said: great listener, awesome cook, hard worker, fun to be with, creative, artistic, good with any needle and thread, laughs easily, loves to try new things, adventurous, smart, tenacious, faithful, trustworthy and loyal.
Well, all of that is true, but there is more to me than that. My vocation in life is teaching. As such, I have a great deal of patience, can see things from many points of view, am a great problem solver and have good interpersonal communication skills. On a personal level, I have learned to be quite independent and am able to fix just about anything and make all sorts of things to eat from "scratch". Team work and partnerships are very important to me. I treasure my friends and family.
In a man, the four most important things I look for are honesty, good morals, strong ethics and a great sense of humor. Second, a solid work ethic is important. Third, you must be articulate because meaningful conversation is very important. Last, he must love dogs. Umm...maybe that should be the first thing on the list....must love dogs. :-)
