Date men and women from United States / Alabama / Elba, 61 year old

Date men and women from United States. I've been described as the rugged John Wayne type, or a Teddy Bear. I am honest to a fault. I love a good restuarant and a good movie. I love to travel and see new things, but I'm just as happy on the couch with a good woman, my friend, my partner, my love.
We can start slow, but it would be nice if it turned into the last love of my life. That special lady that will stand with me until the end. I love to laugh, play and cuddle. I'm looking for a smart attractive women with a sense of humor, a bit of a wit or just down right funny. Someone that if I notice something adorable about her, I may tease without hurting her feelings. Someone who is comfortable with the way she is. A woman who is as comfortable in a pair of jeans as they are a dress. They can like the mountains as well as the beach and when the moment is right, can be mischifous in either setting.
I am a patient person. It takes a lot to make me angry, but if push comes to shove, I can do that to. If I'm wrong, I'm the first to admit it. I'm not the possesive or jealous type and I expect my match to be the same. If I find that love, I'd love to think of her as mine. I don't want to own her or posses her, but it would be nice to know that she enjoys serrendering to me.
I hope this doesn't sound too intense. I'm willing to take the time to work on a relationship to see if it grows into perminancy. If it does, I'll love you unconditionally and defend you to the death.
I love the mountains. I like to visit the beach, but I've lived there, done that. I got tired of hurricanes (6) 100% humidity and everything rusting. I have beautiful acreage in the mountains , I'd like to build on some day, but maybe not.
From here down added 10-21-11 due to some past experince and to help in your decision to respond or not. Remember, I'm not looking for one night stands, I'm looking for perminent, but building a friendship and chemistry is important.
Sex: Some ladies still act like school girls when this subject comes up. If you no longer enjoy making love with your one and only love, you need not respond. If you don't enjoy the touching, holding or the deep love that your partner can give you, you need not respond. If you think your too old or you should act your age (what ever that is) you need not respond.
Smoking" If you have recently stopped smoking, I'm happy and proud for you, but it's only half your battle. If you have not totally replaced and repainted everything in your house or someone still lives there that smokes, it comes with you. You need not respond. You ladies reading this that have never had smoking in your life, know exactly what I'm talking about.
Pictures: need to be recent and accurate. It is so disappointing to start liking someone on the phone while looking at their pictures and they don't look anything like them when you see them in person. My pictures were taken July 2010 so I'm getting ready to take more, but what you see is what you get. I'm 6'1" tall and 225 pounds. Size 38 waiste and otherwise solid. I have my teeth and a full head of hair. My eyes are usually green, but sometimes look blue. I drive a 2000 lumina and have a little house about 75% remodeled. I'm semi-retired so I have time to travel. Would you like to travel to the parks or mountains with me? One of my favorite places is Chatanooga. Yes, the beach once in a while.
Location: If your in this area to finish your life and don't wish to venture or possibly move to a more beautiful area, you need not respond.
The question is: are you woman enough to handel all this honesty? LOL
