Date men and women from United States / Colorado / Cascade, 38 year old

Date a soulmate from Cascade, United States. Remember when you first joined Match.com? I think I fell in love with the first 3 profiles I read...."loves the outdoors, enjoys a glass of wine, a wide variety of music, movies, and...stop my beating heart...she loves animals, honesty, and doesn't mind that I have kids!! OMG we are soul mates!
So lets go about this a little differently. Let me tell you what I think women like about me, and what they don't. How's that?
First of all I'm romantic. I told my son that romance is about attention and creativity. Any man can buy a dozen roses, or pack a picnic lunch in the park. What a woman really wants is a man who consistently notices her...her tender beauty, her intelligence, her clever wit. It's really just about paying attention to how wonderful a girl is and telling her often! And I love it! (do you think I gave him good advice?)
I'm very spontaneous. I love to pick you up in my Jeep in the morning, pack up some food and head to the mountains to see what we can find. Maybe we end up at a hot springs, or 4-wheeling down a dirt road, or talking with some quirky old locals in a hole-in-the-wall bar somewhere.
I'm interesting to talk to. I've owned many different businesses, had many successes and failures. I'm well educated and concerned about what's happening in the world. I often date women older than me because they are often more intellectually mature and diverse. I am passionate about topics like awareness, compassion, a quiet mind, and living in the present. I'll give you an example. A few years ago I took my stereo out of my car. I was curious to find out if I could use my lengthy commute time more wisely, with an emphasis on paying closer attention to my thoughts and the beauty all around me. I still haven't put it back in and I typically drive 4 hrs a day.
Ok, here's the stuff women don't like. Do we have to go there? Can't we just fantasize and pretend I'm perfect for a little while? First of all, I cannot multitask. Can't. This causes more problems in a relationship than you might realize. For example, if I'm on the phone with someone and you say something to me, I can only hear what one of you is saying. I don't know why. I know it's ridiculous. It's just the way it is. This can be a problem if I have a lot on my mind and you are trying to talk to me about some random thing. (hey, did you want honesty or not?) Just like on the phone, I can only hear one thing at a time...my thoughts or you. Sorry. I really do care what you have to say, but if I'm stressed about something in my life...your words may go in one ear and out the other. Still reading?? You're very brave I'll give you that.
I can be reclusive. I live outside of town in the mountains for a reason. I work with people all day and I need time to be home by myself. I like me, I like my home, and I like to be by myself regularly.
Ok that's all you get. Other than that I'm perfect. That's all you need to know. Ok ok....I also have a bad memory, I hate pumpkin pie (even your mom's), I'm not a very good dancer but you have to tell me that I am. Oh, and one last thing...a good thing. Women love my long hair and how I kiss!
