Date men and women from United States / Arizona / Snowflake, 65 year old

Date single man from Snowflake, United States. I am a down to earth conservative both socially and politically. I love the outdoors more than anything else. I grew up and lived in big cities my entire life and I think it is time for a change which is why I moved to Arizona.
I am a technical person and I hold two engineering degrees: A bachelor's in Electronics Engineering and Master's in Computer Science. I was a PhD student in Computer Science with about 50 % of my requirements done when I became ill and was forced to quit. I may continue that at some later date if I believe it will actually do any good.
I became interested in Artificial Intelligence while studying for my PhD and that lead me to an interest in human intelligence. I am currently writing a book on my views of that as well as the world of BS we all are forced to live in.
I consider intelligence to be the most important quality of a future mate. This doesn't mean that she needs to be a degree holder, have a special job or any other so called "indicator" of smarts. Intelligence is a super complicated subject and very few people understand what constitutes it. I will just say that there are super smart people in all walks of life and we all play the cards that were dealt us. The way we deal with life's problems and the way we treat others in the process is the key to being smart and what's most important – understanding others.
I am a Vietnam combat veteran and I mention that because it ties into my social and political views which are at the heart of my existence. I could not be happy living with a liberal any more than I could with a female Sasquatch. I can't speak for other veterans but the reason I went to Vietnam was to fight Communism. I consider liberalism as Communism lite because it really is the same thing, only it moves slower towards the same goal. I am an absolute supporter of the Second Amendment and I own and use guns in recreational activities regularly. Women that have a fear of weapons such as any type of firearm will not be happy with me.
I love to fix things including cars and houses. I am a carpenter, an electrician, a plumber, a mason, an auto mechanic, computer programmer, software engineer and an electronics technician (in addition to being an electronics engineer). There aren’t many projects around the house or an automobile that I can’t tackle. I will be building my dream house on my 80 acre parcel of land in the snowflake area. It will be a southwestern type ranch house with a detached three car garage / shop. I found that this is the type of activity that keeps me in shape. Going to the gym, even on a regular basis does not equal construction work for the same physical benefit.
Now for the mushy stuff: I am extremely sensitive and I have an overly astute sense of empathy. I could never do to other people what I would not want someone to do to me. My conscience will not allow me to hurt someone intentionally. I am fair and very loyal. Once I make a friend, that friend can count on a lifetime of allegiance, provided they remain true, also.
What I would like in a date:
First some turn-offs:
1. Women who lie about their age.
2. Women who are in their 60’s but require their date to earn a fixed amount of money. At that age, you obviously are not looking for a soul mate, you just want someone to buy you stuff and show you a good time. Besides that, this is just tacky.
3. Immaturity (yes that's right, I have known women in their 60's who acted like they were 6)
Turn-ons:
1.Intelligence (as mentioned above)
2.Sensitivity (as in being empathetic)
3.Independence.
4.Willingness to be intimate (I don’t see how people can live together without this).
5.Last but not least, all-encompassing honesty (not only about trivial things like age).
As you may have noticed I am looking for a rest of my life partner. The way I see it, I have one last chance to be happy and I don’t want to go through another bad relationship. I am not getting younger.
