Date people from Arkansas, United States. READERS DIGEST VERSION
"A VERY KIND, RESPECTABLE GENTLEMAN OF INTEGRITY"
FULL VERSION
I consider myself to be Intelectually Balanced, but a bit Eccentric. An Independent Entrepreneur. A Rustic, "Rebel" at Heart, Cleverly Entertainingly, definately an "Old School" Romantic, Respectful, Sincere Gentleman. Yes, I am a Confident and Proud Individual, and have earned it.
Things I enjoy include the Outdoors: walking, hiking, (resting, lol ). especially River walks, people watching (not stalking), quiet, intriguing lunches, drives in the country, and anything Vintage. If it has some age on it and is still in good condition,( kinda like me, lol ) then it will elicit my interest. My "Passions" include Writing and DAILY, appreciating all that has so graciously been given to me by the "Powers Above". Favorite thing to do, SUNRISES & SUNSETS, ANYWHERE!
I refer to myself as a "Vintiquer". I spend my days searching for Arkansas Treasurers, in and around Central Aransas. Surveying Estate Sales, Flea Markets, Auctions, Garage Sales for that 'Diamond in the Rough' or 'Nugget of Gold'. I would truly enjoy having a Friend and Companion to join me in some of these quests.
This is merely an introduction to a uniquely complex, but not complicated, lol intriguing Gentleman.
I am seeking a Woman to be a Friend, a Peer and a Companion. An Intellectual Equal, Savvy, Confident, Compassionate, Caring Woman who enjoys lively conversations about current affairs, politics, or whatever else may interest her "with a passion". I appreciate a woman with strong convictions about topics they care about and are informed about. Not always serious though, must be able to savor a simple smile and relish in the joy of heart felt laughter.

Meet a man from Arkansas, United States. Like everyone else on this site… I’m honest, loyal, intelligent, friendly and fun to be around. OK, now that we’ve got that out of the way, I guess you’ll have to read the rest of this and judge for yourself.
First, I’m a father of two awesome teenagers. They bring great joy and pleasure to my life. Both are very involved in theater… at the Arkansas Arts Center, Weekend Theater and Public Theater. Absolutely love watching them grow into young adults.
I work to live, not live to work. I’ve owned my business for 26 years, and have been successful thanks to a great and loyal staff and incredibly dedicated clients. A clue to who I am is simple… a couple of my employees have been with me for over 15 years, and several are multi-year staffer.
I’m a big kid at heart. I do take the important things seriously, but I don’t take myself too seriously. I realize I’ve been blessed by God, and nothing I have is my own doing. I love to laugh, be wacky, spend time with friends…not doing any one thing in particular. Finding someone that I can’t get out of my head would be awesome, and I’d like to be that person for someone too.
I’m comfortable in my skin, and I hope you are too. I love to experience life, instead of reading about it, or watching someone else do it. Vacations and travel are part of my balance to work and busy schedules. I’m adventurous and like to be on the go…or planning the next big adventure.
I’m a red wine junkie, so an annual trip to Napa Valley in search of the next, big cult Cabernet is a must. But I’m open to other great wine country destinations as well… or maybe the Bourbon Trail in Kentucky?
Beach vacations are also a must for me—at least one, maybe two a year. Not so much Florida, but Caribbean islands like St. Martin, Jamaica and St. Thomas. Ready to explore even more islands with someone. When an extended weekend on the beach is needed for a short getaway, I like Cabo or the Mayan Riviera. Dying to rent a catamaran for a week and drop the anchor near a secluded beach and just chill.
Close to home, I like to head to the lake about every other summer weekend, and just lay in the water on my float with an adult beverage, and chill with my friends on G-Dock.
I’m very comfortable in the kitchen and around the house. Dinners out are great too, and I’m blessed to live close enough to walk to several great Hillcrest restaurants. No chains for me please, except for YaYa’s and Bonefish. But I’m also just as happy grilling a big steak and chilling on the veranda and listening to music. I like music I grew up with, but really enjoy discovering new artists. (Huge fan of the digital music revolution.)
During football season, it’s off to see the Hogs play…love tailgating in LR and FAY. I don’t make every game in Fayetteville, but usually the big ones. My daily driver is a convertible and I keep the top down. If you don’t mind throwing on a sundress and letting the wind blow through your hair on the way to the lake in the summer or a Razorback game on a beautiful fall day … that’s a great start.
I’m looking for a friend, lover, companion and partner...and more... who understands that life is what we make of it. We all take little chances every day. But with greater risk comes greater reward.
If you want to find out what I’m really like, well, that’s part of life’s adventure isn’t it?

And since they are all taken, I can’t flirt or talk about things outside of kids.
I like taking my dog on long walks, but not running. I like riding my bike in the park, but not cross country. I take my daughter (and often a friend or two) to lots of concerts and plays. My daughter and I had a GREAT time at Disney this spring (my son thought he was too cool to join us). I work on the vehicles with my son. We like floating the Buffalo. I am not a great cook, but I love to help in the kitchen. My son has become a better cook than me (he hates my cooking). And I like vacations. I have taken the kids to many places. But I would like to share the experience with a companion.
