Date men from United States / Arkansas / Garfield, 55 year old

Date a soulmate from Arkansas, United States. I live on Beaver Lake and absolutely love the lake and mountains. I'm intense but gentle, funny but intellectual, goofy but serious, opinionated but open minded, and spiritual but not religious. I still believe in chivalry but love an independent woman. Strong women intrigue me. I believe in forever and for someone to see the absolute worst in me and then step back and say "Yes, I can live with that." We all have faults. It is just how we deal with those faults which is most important.
I am not afraid to laugh at myself. I crack myself up sometimes. I'm also a nurturer and love PDA's. Am very physically affectionate.
I've been divorced for six years.
Spirituality is very important. Someone who can hold their own in almost any conversation. Someone who can dress for a black tie dinner or throw on a ball cap and go hang out. Versatility is very important to me. She must love water and enjoy the lake in the summer. Being spontaneous with occassional road trip is fun. Traveling to new and exotic places. Although I have an age limit posted, age is a frame of mind and only a number. I WANT QUALITY. I paddle my own boat very well and cook, clean, and keep a nice cabin.
I am Daddy to a 17 year old daughter (so far so good) who is awesome and lives with me part time.
