Date men and women from Canada / Alberta / Redcliff, 44 year old

Date a soulmate from Canada. Hi :) I am: educated; about this tall (holding my hand atop my head to demonstrate my exact height); of average build, but not in ideal condition; brown haired and blue eyed; prone to enjoy outdoor activities, music, movies, most things motorized, photography, water, good food and wine tasting; traveling, and exploring.
I am a prairie boy but have lived in the large cities. I love trees, lakes, mountains and the ocean. I have lived near the west coast and would like to return. I have been giving serious thought to moving farther west, maybe back to Calgary or beyond toward the BC lower mainland, Washington or Oregon.
I am looking for YOU... if you are: honest; trustworthy; intelligent; self-respecting; athletic, by this I mean you are willing to be active and participate in various sports or recreational activities such as hiking, biking, Frisbee, swimming...; in possession of a healthy sense of humor; and curious.
Self respect includes care and attention to your own appearance, physical condition, health and well being.
I am not looking for addictions or heavy use of alcohol and smoking is a turn-off.
After seeking a 'Match' for quite some time I have decided to 'go fishing'. You know, some place where there are 'plenty of fish'. You might look there as an alternative.
I view this electronic method of meeting new people no differently than the old-fashioned way, that being in person. How you respond to a message reveals aspects of your personality, in my opinion. If I, or someone else for that matter, send you a message please at least have the decency to provide a response. It is perfectly acceptable to decline an invitation to start a conversation. If you were approached by someone in person would you simply ignore them? If you are in fact an 'extraordinary' person, the manner in which you interact with others will reveal the truth.

Meet a man from Canada. Describing myself doesn't come naturally for me, so writing a profile feels rather awkward. But it isn't boasting if it's honest, so here it goes. I can say that I feel very fortunate. I am a simple guy and value the basic things in life: I'm healthy, have a stable job, good friends and I am pretty comfortable and happy. I would love to meet someone to share it all with, so here I am.
Though I can be pretty quiet when I first meet someone, loved ones know me as a kind, laid back and active man who is a good listener. As I said, I value my health and enjoy staying active and fit so I keep moving and enjoy hockey, swimming, hiking and spending time outdoors. This is an aspect of my life I'd like to share with my match.
I am most attracted to women who are confident and sure of themselves but who don't feel the need to be the centre of attention. I am the sort who appreciates the simple things and get along best with women who enjoy the same. Because I have a creative side and enjoy music, playing the guitar, going to concerts and watching movies, I'm looking for someone with similar interests.
Anyway, if you got this far I hope you take a small leap of faith and send me an email or a wink. I'd love to get to know you and find out if we have a connection.
