Date men and women from United States / Arkansas / Fort Smith, 68 year old

Date a soulmate from Arkansas, United States. I'm light hearted, easy going jokster that strives to keep myself fit. The effect my actions has on others and fulfilling my responsibilities is a big part of who I am. (But the way I usually carry on, you'd probably never guess that.)
For a number of years I was a single dad to three kids (two sons and a daughter). Sure, I made some mistakes, but since none of them are in jail or on welfare and still speak to me with love and respect, reckon I did ok. Until recently I was the live-in care-giver for my parents. So see there--I may be a nut, but I take my committments and responsibillity very seroiusly.
I enjoy a wide variety of activities. Basicly, I like everything except operas, ballets and beets (not too fond of whips and chains either.) I like dogs, have a low tolerance for cats, kinda neutral about goldfish. I'm not at all materialistic. Could care less what the Jones have as long as they keep it on their side of the fence. Not much income---not many bills either, so its surprising how much not much is. Learned a long time ago if your outgo exceeds your income, your upkeep will be your downfall.
Just for kicks, I wrote a book of humorous poems. For a different kind of kick IEARNED (although its more of a grey belt now) my black belt in Goju karate. Although I'm not a Bible Thumper, I strive to live my live in submission to God and my religion is very basic to who I am.
The only thing missing in my life is a dear, precious, sweet woman with a bit of impish devil in her. And if she treated me almost as good as I would treat her, I couldn't be more tickled if I had seventeen feathers up my nose.
Don't believe I care to join this site. Seems like most of the women in my age range that have kept themselves fit, believe that the calendar doesn't apply to them, but does to everyone else. Fail to realize living a healthy lifestyle and keeping active and fit is not exclusive to them and they aren't the only ones that are actually younger than their chronological age.

Meet a soulmate from Arkansas, United States. I'd like to casually meet someone to have dinner with, even Dutch is fine. I enjoy movies, cards, travel, dancing, the outdoors, and the lake on week-ends. I am recently retired with the freedom that comes with it. Match.com seemed to be an interesting place to possibly meet people in this area. I's like to meet someone with similar interests.
