Date men and women from United States / Alaska / Eagle River, 66 year old

Date a man from Eagle River, United States. This man is new to this style of introduction. Feeling tentative would be an apt description. However, once I get my feet under me in a given situation I am respectful, courteous, honest, and always ready to play. I believe I have a great sense of humor - if you don't believe me, ask my coworkers. Outdoor activities are my passion including hiking, camping, canoeing, travel, road trip with no plan at the start, music, and photography. Also good non-mainstream movies.
I am a Gemini and I find that holds true for me. I like variety, but am also comfortable in routine. I can hold my own in conversation with a little irreverence and self-deprecating humor tossed in for good measure. I prefer a straight-forward approach in communication - if you're into hidden agendas and mind-games I would not be a good match. I can multi-task , but can also focus on the task at hand. I tend to be inquisitive since my work encompasses gaining good information from others. I enjoy taking risks to get outside my comfort zone.
The woman I would most like to meet is independent, self-assured and would enjoy well developed self-esteem. A great sense of humor is an added attraction. Someone who has the ability to play at a moment's notice, but also able to deal effectively with the serious issues life presents to us all. I prefer someone who is real even if that means we don't see eye to eye and someone who is able to say so.
I am looking for a long-term meaningful relationship. I am a one woman man. Life is too short to "spend one's love making time" as the Eagles put it. Depth and breadth are attractive qualities to aspire to in relationship. Time invested. Patience and consideration for one another. If my partner desires to travel to the Outer Hebrides alone, I can certainly understand that. At times I very much enjoy being alone in the great outdoors. Physical looks are nice, but not the determining factor for me. I prefer substance over image.
