Date men and women from United States / Arkansas / Barling, 53 year old

Date single man from Arkansas, United States. Please take to time to read my entire profile before writing. I do not suit everyone's taste, to say the very least. Let's start over, shall we? I am new to the entire idea of online dating. So, let us be clear here. I am NOT here for your average date, hookup or one-night stand. Please, that was easy enough to understand. So, please excuse me while I ponder this situation just a bit more. Yes, I am going to rewrite the whole 'about me' section'. From some of the questions received, it is easy to say I have been too accommodating. My bad, old habits dye hard, I fear.
The important thing for you to know right now, the lady I am looking for is NOT average. That is the simple truth of it. Honestly, I am not your average Joe. In all likelihood, you have never met me, nor my like before. Hell, I don't know but a very few like me, and I have made a point of looking. In my past, we had a toast, "Here's to us and those like us. There's damn few left'. (Remember when your teacher hinted that this will be on the test.
Me? Honest, loyal, creative, energetic, disciplined, strong sense of humor, intelligent... (Yes, I can surprise you!). I am poor in terms of lucre, and know what hard work really is. I am rich in ways that matter. I drive a beat up old truck. I am working night and day to put together something very special, something away from the herd, and moving rapidly in the opposite direction. I have my own business, and in the process of taking it to the next level.
Match should make a stronger point about music! Music says so very much, does it not? I am a rocker! I love rock, the grunge, the metal, everything from NINs and Tool to Manson and the Deftones. Still, there are times I listen to ZZ Top and AC/DC. I also listen to true classical music, often preferring works written for, or adapted well to the piano. Does anyone here ever listen to Bach anymore?
What should be here is what I want, and yes, even need, in a relationship. For those of you who don't know better, 'relationship' includes FRIENDSHIP. Something that 90% of you have been missing in your past affairs.
Please do NOT waste my time and yours if you do not have any combination of the following qualities:
Some level of higher education
A physical and non-physical body that you take care of every single day.
The ability to converse about almost anything, which means you read, as a habit.
Have traveled. Sorry, the Walmart Super Center in Little Rock doesn't count.
If not a soldier or veteran, that at least you know what it is to have been in a fight, and fight for what you believe in.

If any of this disturbs you, good. It means you are likely disturbed for the very same reasons I am. That is dealing with people who don't know themselves, therefore, don't begin to know what they truly want and need in Life. (Yep, I capitalized that there word for a reason.)
Be up front, ask questions, communicate.
