After a long marriage and amicable divorce, I'm rediscovering what makes me happy and enjoying new adventures--as dramatic as traveling to Nepal or as ordinary as learning to cook a Chinese meal.
If there's a theme to my life it must be my curiosity about the world past and present. I'm an avid reader of fiction and history, movie fan, lover of art galleries, museums, gardens and historical sites. Most weekends I'm hiking, camping, backpacking or kayaking to enjoy the exercise and the natural beauty of the Ozarks. I love traveling--last summer I took a 5,600 mile road trip through the western states and back, exploring national parks and forests along the way. This spring, I visited Mexico.
For a good night at home in the cool months, I like to cook a big pot of savory soup, open a bottle of wine, build a fire, listen to music, and enjoy good conversation, a movie, sometimes a game of cards, dominoes or Scrabble. In the warmer months, substitute the stove for a charcoal grill and the fireplace for catching a breeze on the screened porch. As TV entertainment, I like British mysteries on PBS and a few scripted comedies and cop/legal shows. Local college basketball and US men's and women's soccer are fun, but that's about it for sports. I'd rather get outside and explore than watch someone else play on TV.
Most people seem to appreciate my sense of humor--I can juggle and wiggle my ears--and find me honest and fair-minded, and able see other points of view. I'm told I'm a nice guy. I'm pretty independent, in that I think for myself and have a secure sense of values, so I'm not afraid to go my own way when it seems right. Rude, snobbish, or bullying people won't find me charming in return, but I get along well with most everybody else. Financially, I'm responsible and deal honestly and ethically in business and personal life. I'm not a churchgoer, but respect religious beliefs and try to live by ideals of kindness and compassion. I like to believe I've acquired some wisdom over the years.
Physically, I'm a compact guy, weigh a little more than I'd like, but walk, swim, bike, hit the gym, hike and backpack, so I'm fitter than most. As for looks, I've found the better people know me the more appealing I become. I wouldn't describe myself as an intellectual type, but I'm thoughtful, well-read, and can hold up my end of a conversation. When a person or topic is interesting, I communicate easily and know how to listen. Still, I'm fairly quiet by nature and I prefer small groups to big, loud parties or the bar scene.
Women interested in a biker dude, a country club golfer, a hunter, tennis player, NASCAR fan, competitive runner, or four-wheel rider should look elsewhere. Nothing wrong with any of those things, of course; they just aren't my interests. I'd rather pedal a bike, hike to a frozen waterfall, shoot with a camera, backpack to a scenic bluff, or kayak through the rapids. Natural beauty is all around us in the Ozarks and I'd like to find a woman friend who's interested and fit enough to seek it out with me, at least some of the time.
A certain level of attractiveness in a woman does matter, but prettiness and likeability don't necessarily go together. Somewhere between Catherine Zeta-Jones and Aunt Bea is the woman for me. My ideal date would be kind, intelligent, adventurous, attractive, fun, and have the ability to see the humor in life. Also, she'd be available. That means living in Northwest Arkansas or just over the border of Missouri or Oklahoma. Long distance dating isn't practical for me. Neither is dating someone invisible (Why some women don't post photos is a mystery to me). Like everyone, I'm looking for the woman whose puzzle piece matches mine. But in that process, I'm also interested in friendship. Romantic sparks on top of friendship would be wonderful, but friends can still have a good time and enjoy each other's company.

Date someone special from Fayetteville, United States. I am kind of quiet most of the time but can be humorus and antimated when provoked properly. I am honest, sometimes to a fault. I like to travel and see the great outdoors. I have scuba dived for almost 10 years. I like camping, hiking, canoeing, and a lot of outdoor stuff. I would like to meet a woman who is witty and charming but not over powering. sweet and down to earth. I have been called deep and brilliant and also a complete idiot so I guess it is all in prospective. I am somewhat of a realist, I believe some people have too many expectations of certain things and can not except that everything has its faults. I try to live by the saying cange what you can accept what you cant and try to know the difference.
I would like to find someone to share lifes experences with in a very loving way.

Meet a soulmate from Arkansas, United States. I am tall and darkish (the Native American in me). I might say ruggedly handsome (I hope)but that is for the eye of the beholder. I am pretty good size. Use to be a football player and physical construction worker in the past. I work at athletic club and Tae Kwon Do. Hey I'm trying. At times I get sidelined with some weight lifting injuries. Probably need to back off some of the weight. Example I leg press @ 1200 pounds. I like to sing use to sing in a gospel group. Play several instruments (guitar, banjo, dobro, use to play steel guitar). My interest other than music is golf, motorcycles, boating (I have a bass boat and enjoy driving and fishing). If you haven't been on the water with me you don't know what you are missing. I enjoy lots of other things (like cards) that I don't do much anymore. Some have said in the past that I might be snobbish. But that is not the case. I am really kind of shy (not all the time) and reserve. Probably am a little aloof and somewhat unpredictable. That's what some say anyway. You can get me by aw.ledbetter at yahoo I have three children (two daughters and one son). Five grandchildren from the two daughters. My son is now out of high school. He was and is a great golfer (all state). I would like a woman that is OK with herself and doesn't have to pretend to be something else. Also, I like them somewhat natural looking, if that makes sense. Go camping or something and they appear reasonably the same as going to church. A lot of makeup is kind of a turnoff. Hey you women ought to like that. No more makeup. Kind of like girl next door thing. With the golden years approaching for all of us, we need companionship with trust and candor (from a spiritual and emotional sense) as the basis for a relationship. Honor, repect and truth is the key for anything, right. If your word isn't any good then you are needing adjustment. I said that diplomatically. Actually, I have a little stronger language for that. Use to be a construction contractor and now I am a senior civil engineer. This ought to be enough info for now shouldn't it? PS- For those of you that will probably wonder, I am about 6'-3 ". I have about 20 inch neck. Some where around 52 Long suit at least. Wear XXLT and XXXLT shirts,depending on manufacturer. Wear 13-14 shoes. Can wear 42 pants. Ladies that a 10 inch drop, if you know what that is. Like to work on 12 inch drop. I am really a big ole teddy bear with a little fire and rebel in me. Jen, admin assistant at that time, took those two standing pictures while I was at work. In that one I am saying "Jen when are you going to take it." In one of the other ones with the black t-shirt I am at the table with one of my grandkids. Then a couple of pictures in my boat. Don't just say well I am the woman and the man needs to make contact. At this time in our life that is not really an issue, is it? Thanks. In the future I may be flexible in location but don't know that yet. Don't let some miles stand in the way. I get tickled at those that want the whole sheebang (good man, and all that stuff) and say yet within 10 miles. Hey, if there was one that close you probably wouldn't need to be here on this site, right. Hey I put some physical parameters on this site. I consider that if you are a good woman then your hair color, eye color, isn't what is important. I tried to find a selection for eye that said at least one...but that wasn't available...lol. Also, I figure the hair color for mature women is a moot point whether blonde. brunette, red, whatever...it probably is really colored grey so what the deal. Its just hair. You guys go to a lot of trouble for hair color.

Meet a man from Arkansas, United States. I grew up in NWA on a farm. I have worked in the Food Service field all my life. I served in the US Navy for six years on an aircraft carrier. I have had cattle and enjoy gardening if I can keep the deer out of it. I enjoy traveling, Razorback games, antique store browsing, family get-togethers, enjoy BBQing, and also cooking together at home. I like romantic dinners for two with candlelight, going to movies, and I will go dancing, but I am not that good. I enjoy most music. I like lying in bed with someone special and listening to the rain fall on the roof. I am a good listener and will offer my thoughts if asked, otherwise I will just listen and do my best to comfort you. I like snuggling on the couch and watching a movie. I like a gal with a hint of make-up to accent her natural beauty. I am looking for honesty and trust. I am an affectionate guy and want someone who likes affection and is not opposed to holding hands as we walk. I am definitely looking for a long-term relationship and if it leads to marriage I am not opposed. However, I am in no hurry and will wait for the right one. I try to stay fit and exercise by walking almost every day. Being in the food business it can be tempting but I watch myself and am in good shape.
