Date women from United States / Alabama / Vernon, 46 year old

Date a woman from United States. I broke my foot in October at Becoming an Outdoors Woman but I'm almost recovered. I must be crazy but I just signed up for the March event thinking I should be good to go by then and will get to take a couple of classes I missed after getting hurt and leaving early. The workshop is so popular that some classes fill up immediately but I did get Pistol, ATV, Archery and Fishing. The last two are a repeat since but will be even more fun second time around.
I'm the type of person who prefers a few close relationships over having many acquaintances. I am a very easy going person who values peace and lack of drama. Honesty is very important to me but I do admit that it can be difficult when I know it is going to hurt someone I care about. One of my favorite quotes says it is sometimes better just to let unimportant mistakes go unmentioned. I agree.
To be upfront, let me tell you that I am trying to get back in shape having been through some things that have caused me to gain weight. If you believe that weight is something that can be changed whereas personality and intelligence more permanent and more valuable, you may be the kind of man I want. If I accept you for you, you have to accept me for me. Sound fair? Encouragement always works better than criticism.
What about you? What are the things you love about life? Dislike? What things make you smile? What are your dealbreakers? You can tell me. Your secrets are safe with me! LOL.
