Date men and women from United States / Arkansas / Benton, 39 year old

Date a man from Benton, United States. I have lived in Benton for 5 years and in Texarkana for 5 years before that. I have been married twice.
I live with my 16 year old son who goes to Bryant High. My oldest is a freshman at UALR studying physics. He lives in the dorm and only stays with me during holidays.
I really like hiking and canoeing. I haven't camped out in a long time but I used to be a pretty hard-core camper. I was an Eagle Scout and I was in ROTC for 4 years so I know my way around a map and compass and I've spent more time outdoors than a homeless person.
Even though I love the outdoors I am not into hunting or fishing. I just don't like killing anything. If you are really into hunting or fishing we probably won't match.
My main hobby right now is my telescope. I'm always looking for better places to take it, or finding new gadgets that will help me get more out of it. I've been into astronomy since about 1985. I used to be a guest speaker at high schools to talk about the subject. So if you're ever on a game show and need to "phone a friend" with a astronomy question, I'm your man.
I am a very loyal and devoted friend. I'm the guy you want to call when your car is broke down on the interstate or you need to get that virus off your computer or if you just need to talk about your problems and get a honest opinion.
My life is an open book. I am comfortable discussing anything and everything. There is no such thing as taboo, or forbidden subjects with me. Whatever you want to talk about, I'm always happy to share.
I'm not really big into sports. I'll go to a game every now and then but probably not if it's 20 degrees outside. You'll just have to let me know who won. Not a big fan of watching it on TV either.
My parents were married for over 40 years. Ideally this is what I'm looking for too: a life-partner. So far, my quest for this ideal companion has not been very fruitful. Six years with my first wife, and 10 years with my second.
Oh, and my "kids" are not actually mine. They are my exes kids from her previous relationship. When she left, they decided to stay with me. Their real dad has been pretty non-existent in their lives, so they think of me as their dad. So I've been raising someone else's kids for the past 10 years, and I feel like I did pretty well. My oldest graduated high school with honors.
Some people have asked me my opinion about having kids of my own. While I am open to the possiblity of having children with someone new, I decided long ago that this probably won't happen, so I have been comfortable with this decision for a long time. So if you're looking for someone to have children with, I am open to it. But if you're not, that is fine too.
My ideal person is someone who is emotionally strong, independent, has a career, is affectionate (that part is very important), and can hold a good conversation. I really want you to be GENUINE! Be yourself. For example, I don't like a woman who wears too much make up. I want to see the REAL YOU! But I also understand that women just don't feel comfortable with themselves unless they are wearing SOME, so I'm fine with whatever makes you happy.
A few random things:
I love women who wear baseball hats and pull their hair through the back. I have no idea why. I just think its cute.
I also like to see women who dress comfortably. Jeans and tennis shoes appeal to me a lot.
I'm also not a big fan of crazy boots. If you have a big collection of crazy looking boots we probably won't match.

Meet men and women from Benton, United States. I'm a big guy with a tender heart. I have a great sense of humor and I'm a very dedicated, dependable and trustworthy person. I'm not stuck on myself and i know how to treat a woman like a lady. I enjoy being a gentleman in public and a pleaser in private. I love cuddling up and watching a movie, going camping, playing a video game or heading out to a concert. I'm not a sports fanatic, mainly because it bores me. I love gadgets and technology, but I also love going mudding on atvs or heading to the lake to cookout and swim. I'm versatile and have a wide range of interests. Pets tend to like me. I have two boys who live with me every other week. My perfect match would be a tall, sweet, long-haired, trustworthy girl who is looking for a long-term relationship with a pretty good guy.

Meet a woman from United States. I'm going into grad school soon, so I'm just a busy student right now. I'm also a single mom to my 11 yr old daughter. I'm tired of men that don't get my sense of humor. I'm dry and witty, and a bit of a smart ass. It comes from being in the military, and a background in law enforcement. I'm a sweet person, who cares a lot for people, so don't wipe your feet on me. I'm not a rug. I'm not looking to be your mama either. I'm not a hearts and flowers kinda girl, but surprises are nice. Just relax, go with the flow, and we'll see what happens.
I'm mentioning the above things because it's things that I don't want in a guy. I really am a laid back, easy going person that gets along with everyone
. I'm pretty witty too lol. I really hate drama, so anyone with ex-drama need not apply.
One more thing...Guys, it's really confusing when you put a picture of how you looked 10 years ago, and then a recent pic. I'm wondering, who the heck is this guy? Just recent pics are great. And, if you don't have a profile pic I'm not going to respond. Sorry, but I can only imagine bad things with no picture. If you're on here then I'd think you'd like to be looked at like the rest of us.
Did I mention I tend to say it like it is?? :)

Date men and women from Arkansas, United States. First thing is that I am a single mother of a wonderful daughter. She is my life! I am involved in my church by working with the kids and cleaning once a quarter. I have friends that I have had for over 20 years; somethings they would say about me would be that I am very kind hearted, and loyal. I am always wanting to help someone else even if it means hurting myself. I have a passion for helping people that have been affected by domestic violence, or have had a friend or family member with a type of addiction. My friends would like me to find someone that I do not have to try to fix or feel like I can help them out.
I want someone that is self sufficiant, passionate about their career, but knows when it is time for friends and family. I am looking for a friend first , intellegent , romantic,honest, most of the time not-selfish. ( We all are at times) I also would like to meet someone that is really good to their mother, someone that is not a momma's boy, but loves and respect's her with all his heart. One thing about me my family is super important to me. I want to have a relationship that I am loved by the others family just as my own . I enjoy having my daughters friends over. I am a big kid and will start a whip cream war and bob for apples with them. I am very sensitive, and I believe words really do hurt. I love being outdoors, traveling, and seeing new things. I will eat almost anything except chocolate...I am done if you want to give me a chance not just a goodnight then maybe I will respond, if I have known you most of my life at least say hi. Don't lie to me honesty is very important.
