Date men and women from Canada / Alberta / Hanna, 49 year old

Date single man from Hanna, Canada. I would describe myself as the big teddy bear type, who if pushed, can become the grizzly.
I am loving and caring man who hasn't been able to find the right one yet. I have tended to settle in the past for fear of never finding somebody else.
I am very giving and attentive to my partner, but my life cannot revolve around them, nor do I expect that I will be the center of their universe. I do have other interests which can take up a lot of my time, and I would hope that you would have other interests as well.
I am university educated, and although not menza material, consider myself intelligent. I have an opinion on pretty much everything, but am open to discussion. If a valid argument is put forward, I am not unwilling to change my point of view.
I consider myself to be of average looks, but I guess that's for someone else to determine.
Finally, I've said that my body type is average, but I'm 6'4 and 280 lbs. I can't really say I'm average, can I?
My ideal match may not exist. I want Jaclyn Smith and Julia Childs. Someone who looks great, has a lot of class, but who can cook like the dickens.
I want a partner who has a strong personality, and can stand up for herself. Someone who isn't stuck in the 1950's role of a woman, but one who isn't offended by it either. (back to cooking)
Finally, and this may sound shallow, I want a lady who can look good in either a pair of Wranglers (I'm a wanna-be cowboy), or an evening dress, should the ocassion require.
