Date men and women from Canada / British Columbia / Esquimalt, 42 year old

Date people from British Columbia, Canada. I am extremely easy going, compassionate, generous, love a good challenge and definitely tough when I have to be. I very much cherish my privacy (at least, up until now), but I am open and honest in relationships. I have an excellent, but somewhat dry or slightly off-beat sense of humour. I enjoy traveling, reading, history, poetry, philosophy, art, and culture in general. Friends refer to me as a bit of a Renaissance Man. I support numerous wildlife and children's charities and the Special Oympics as well. (After all, they're right aren't they when they say, 'you can't take it with you when you go'). Business is good, I don't have to cut my hair or wear suits much anymore (Ahhh, maybe that's not such a great thing, as I'm pretty much overdue for a cut. Oh well). I have a 16 year old daughter who is the absolute jewel of my life!
As far as what I'm looking for in a woman, probably the most important qualities would be to meet someone who is blessed with a prodigious sense of humour and is easygoing, honest, caring (especially, toward those who can't care for themselves), kind, and last but not least, isn't afraid to step outside her comfort zone by surprising the hell out me every now and then. After all, what is life really, without a little intrigue and adventure mixed in for good measure. My friends love it when I create an atmosphere characterized by what they call my 3Cs. Chaos, Controversy and Confusion (Only when its in good fun of course). At the very least, it gets everybody thinking and at most, somewhat discombobulated.
As George Bernard Shaw once remarked, "The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man".
