Date men and women from United States / Alaska / Kodiak, 44 year old

Date someone special from Alaska, United States. Everyone and I mean everyone asks why i am single... They say I am "a great catch." I agree, I am a great catch... I still manage to not find anyone that i want to date. Being in Alaska has everything to do with that... a serious lack of women! In 3 years I will probably leave Alaska unless someone persuades me to stay... I just want to find a laid back woman who just wants to enjoy life and ALL of the simple things in it. She can laugh and cry easily... she can communicate and stand by what she thinks is right. I am not perfect, but i am a good man. I am fair and want to do the right thing. I only want my lady to be the same. Life is too short to be drawn into drama. There is way too much good to do in such a short amount of time. I can see myself and my perfect date enjoying a baseball game while talking about what makes us happy in life. That indeed is my perfect date! Two adults mutually attracted and enjoying life. I must be the pickiest man on earth, especially considering where I live, but I remain selective... For good reason ;)

Meet someone special from Alaska, United States. "I decided to start anew, to strip away what I had been taught" Georgia O'Keefe.
My son has helped me find a perfect balace between work and play. After years of degrees, careers, University, self employment and moving up the pay scale I now know what my priorities are; self, family, health and humanity. I'm a career woman and mother of a little boy, who is a reminder for me to smile everyday. I would love to share in this smile and laughter with a man who is stimulating, healthy, honest and above all, compassionate.
My closest friends would describe me as strong, beautiful, independent, adventurous and talented. I give 100% to relationships and feel the value when it's reciprocated in willingness and communication.
I can be quite reserved at first meeting. However, later you would find me honest, open, fun and with a great sense of humor. Perhaps you're the one to bring me to that comfort level....and then look out!!
My health is very important and I take great care of it; physical, mental, spiritual and emotional. Everything I do supports and encourages this. I surround myself with positive influences and in turn try to return that energy. I'm very active with some "get up and go". I enjoy sharing time with someone who has a "can do" attitude and is not afraid of big ideas. I admire people who have found their "true passion" in their work place, but I also really appreciate those that cultivate talents in their free time.
While I love to travel, I also really like hanging out at my pad; gardening, reading, sipping a wine/beer with a view, and photoshopping images. I love, love, love to get outdoors running/hiking, taking photos, exploring the library and taking my son out to play (whether it's on vacation or in the back yard making mud soup). My son and I also feel that anything with wheels is a goto (motorcycles, hot wheels, bikes, trikes, scoooters, convertibles, 4-wheelers...you get the picture)
I enjoy a good book and read a variety of novels. Music is an important backdrop in my life. I enjoy most current pop, alternative, live acoustic, Flemenco and most anything on world cafe. My goto oldies always include Van Morrison, Alabama, Fleetwood Mac-reminds me of my childhood. I listen to NPR and the BBC. I try to stay away from tragic news in the current media....it's a strategy of mine to stay optimistic about humanity.
I don't have any pets, although I babysit chickens (does that count?) If I were to get a pet it would be..........chickens. AND maybe a standard poodle or Blue Heeler (to round up the unruly chickens).
I'm looking for an energetic partner. One who is passionate and attentive with me. I'm interested in a man who will take me places....in more ways than one:) I want to be swept off my feet with wit and humor, have my mind stimulated and my heart taken care of. I enjoy a man who plans ahead and creates thoughtful surprises-no matter how small. It goes without saying that my partner be completely honest and trustworthy with me.
Come join me...together in companionship!
