Date men and women from United States / Arizona / Chino Valley, 44 year old

Date a man from Arizona, United States. I have lived in the Prescott area on and off for the last 25 years, moving up here permanently 14 years ago. I enjoy the outdoors, having been a boy scout (and leader) in Arizona for more than 20 years. I have hiked, biked, driven, 4x4'd, canoed, rafted, kayaked, camped and explored most of the state. While I majored in accounting, I own and manage my own business in a totally different field. The business does run twenty four hours a day, but I have employees that can handle themselves.
I have taken good care of my body and mind throughout the years – It's all about the maintenance. I enjoy exercise more when it's coupled with doing something fun (hiking vs jogging). My job provides all the drama I can handle, and I do not take any of it home with me.
I am looking for someone to share my adventures with. Someone who enjoys the same activities and interests. Someone who enjoys life, even with it's twists and turns. Someone who's glass is always half full, never half empty. Someone who is as independent, and yes, as crazy as I am.

Meet someone special from Arizona, United States. Got morals? Are you the kind of person that others look up to? Do most people respect you, even if maybe not everyone likes you?Do you live your life to make other people happy or do you put your needs and desires first? I know a bunch of comfronational questions are probably the last thing you'd like to see in a profile....but...if there is anything I've learned from my past dating experiences its that it won't work plain and simple if we are not both coming from the same place morally and ethically! Yes I'm aware this isn't exactly the most exhilerating or exciting way to introduce myself and won't serve much as a "lure"....but I'm betting that it will be read, understood and touch the heart of someone who might be worth meeting!
Myself? I am 100% honest - ask me anything and I'll answer you truthfully, though you may not always agree with my answer. I'm also 100% faithful - not a cheat nor a flirt, and that includes no sexting, FB messaging with guys etc. If I wanted or needed to engage in that kind of behavior I would just stay single. I'm from a stable, traditional and intact family - my parents have been married 46 years and are still in love with each other. God is a part of my life - and I'm hoping he is a part of yours as well. I make my decisions based on what's right, not what's easy. I'm a little tough, but filled with empathy for others. I always try to give more than I take. I don't let people down or make promises I can't keep. I am happiest when I am doing for others.
When I love someone, I go "all in" - and I'm looking for forever....which is why I'm only interested in a relationship that leads to marriage. I am seeking a man who is ethical, spiritual, honest, courageous, kind, affectionate, humble, and protective of those he loves. I hope to find someone who still believes they have the best of themselves to offer the right person despite their past - a man who has the courage and commitment to love a woman and make it last. My father always told me that loving someone is a choice, not a feeling and I believe that with all my heart.
I don't have children, but am open to my mate having them as long as he is able to give me the same priority as he does his kids. I was brought up with parents who always put their relationship first, and I believe that is the only way to succeed in keeping a family stable. I know the world is now full of mixed families, ex husbands and wives co parenting children and trying to start new lives with new partners. I get that its common - but its not something I'm entirely comfortable with. If you and your ex are still attached at the hip, haven't separated your lives then you are not for me. I'm sorry, but its impossible to build a healthy relationship with a man who is still "married" to his past.
Character requirements aside, mutual attraction/chemistry create the inspiration that drives us to take the time to get to know another person! 30 minutes with you face to face will tell me what hours/days/weeks worth of emails, texts or phone calls won't.. which is why I lean towards men that are interested in meeting rather than chatting.

Date a soulmate from Arizona, United States. I love being outside. Would love to find someone who is faithful, trust worthy and will communicate.
I am not afraid of a challenge and love doing things as a couple. If I am treated well I will treat you better.
It would be great to find that right person who is willing to take things slow and take time really getting to know one another.
