Date men from United States / Alabama / Mountain Brook, 56 year old

Date a soulmate from Mountain Brook, United States. I am a very easy-going, positive, southern gentleman searching for an easy-going, well-adjusted lady. I am a former executive and a second-business owner. I prefer to be productive in my spare time building homes, managing my metal distribution business and enjoy working when I WANT to instead of HAVING to do so. I love to cook and entertain as well as enjoy intelligent conversations. Family is very important to me and I stay in shape working out regularly. I am fun-loving with both sides of my brain working equally. I am well-dressed, preferring Ralph Lauren and Tommy Bahama attire, but can look quite dapper in a tux. I am financially secure and emotionally stable with a great sense of humor. I am very open to a woman who has children, but prefer someone whose children are grown and out of the house. Since Match is so age-sensitive, I'm a little older than my posted age.
I am looking for a lady who likes to stay in shape, who enjoys a warm and intimate relationship, a wonderful woman who is a giver and is non-controlling, loves to have fun, and doesn’t mind walking in the rain sometimes. I’m seeking someone who has or has had a career and who is well-adjusted. She loves to dance, try new things, and has a positive outlook on life. It would be helpful if she enjoyed fine dining and great wine!
So, if you like having your door opened and being treated like a lady, I’m your man. I have a very healthy respect for the opposite sex. Finally, if you believe or consider that every day is a blessing, that life is a constant challenge, that the joy is in the journey, and that there is a much higher power than you and I, that would be a plus.
If you don’t drink at all or are a die-hard liberal, we won’t be a match. Also, please post only photos that are recent and look like you. My photos are a week old.
