Date men from United States / Alabama / Malvern, 61 year old

Date a man from United States. Let me make one thing clear - if you are not located within a reasonable driving distance of me, please do not contact me. In the first 15 minutes of releasing my profile, I had three IMs from ladies who did not live within 1,000 miles of me. I know from experience that creating a relationship over a long distance is possible; however, let's be reasonable... so, PLEASE, if you do not live close enough for us to meet for regular dates (even if it is over a weekend), please do not contact me. It is a waste of your and my time. Thanks!
People that just meet me would think that I am serious; however, my friends know that I am analytical. I enjoy the outdoors (hiking, camping, etc) and am always looking for new adventures. I am looking for a woman that has similar interests and has a positive outlook on life. I would like to take the time to see if the chemistry is right… want to meet someone that is as comfortable in jeans walking through the woods as she is dressing up for dinner.
I enjoy a variety of activities. I enjoy spending time with my family (two grown kids and my grandkids). I like exploring new locations. I should let you know that I have an extreme allergy to cats (read that to mean; get me to the ER allergy)
