Date men and women from United States / Arkansas / Jessieville, 59 year old

Date men and women from Jessieville, United States. Have been retired since I was 49. Today I just work on my custom built home or some other project that sparks my interest. I believe that communication is the key to any successful relationship with anyone in your life. I don't like anyone who talks down to others because of their station in life. Women who wear to much make up turn me off because it reminds me of putting on and taking off a mask, so you never really get to know the real woman behind the mask. Like myself, I do believe in being as honest as the person is with me. That does not mean I will lie, but if anyone lies to me, they are not included in my life and avoided.
Spent my professional years traveling all over the world and very seldom talk about it because most people find it hard to believe that I have done the things I talk about, like riding on the back of a Whale Shark off the coast of Okinawa. Enjoy a good conversation on just about anything and love it more when the conversation stays on the adult level and not brought down to a teens or childs level.
If I feel a person is sincere in their beliefs and feelings, then will be more open with them than most. I prefer to listen than to talk when meeting someone for the first time but if I feel at ease with them, will open up easily. Tend to be more trusting of others than I should be and if someone turns out to be dishonest, then will leave them as I found them, alone and stupid.
Love a woman with a kind heart and who loves to cook. I like to bake bread every now and then, so I gravitate to the earthy side of things when given a choice.
Do not believe in turning the other cheek. There should be no reason to do so. If there is, then communication has failed and once that happens, might as well go look for someone else to spend time with.
