Lon

Age 79 (80 in December 2026), retired, and happily settled in Northwest Arkansas for the past 12 years. Air Force veteran, former banker and financial planner, with an early and implausible history in broadcasting... homeowner, writer, U of Nebraska grad, and lifelong student of people and ideas.

I'm looking for what may be the last great love story of my life: a thoughtful, loyal woman who values trust, honesty, kindness, and genuine companionship. Someone who has lived enough life to know what matters and what doesn't. Life has taught me that lasting relationships aren't built by trying to fix each other. They're built by two reasonably healthy, emotionally happy people choosing to walk the road together. I'm looking for a woman who takes care of herself, respects herself, and is ready to invest in a genuine partnership. I'm not looking to change anyone, and I'm not looking to be changed. Mutual respect, acceptance, and curiosity go a long way with me. While I enjoy meeting new people, I'm seeking a relationship that can grow through regular time spent togetherspontaneous coffee, lunch, dinner, walks, and the ordinary day-to-day moments that form a bond between two people. Ideally, you will live close enough for us to easily connect. Bonus Point Section: Bonus points: If you value genuine dialoguethe kind where we both listen to absorb and thoughtfully respond, rather than simply waiting for our respective turn to speak. Even More Bonus points: If you enjoy long conversations, occasional trips down philosophical rabbit holes, laughing at the frequent absurdities of life, small-town values, and can tolerate all-too-frequent references to Nebraska football and how the Huskers will do better next year. Most bonus points of all: If you've released any bitterness or disappointment from past chapters, and you aren't seeking to be wowed by material thingsfancy cars, jet-setting trips, or expensive tokens. You know that the best parts of life are much quieter: walking hand in hand on a cool evening, watching a sunset, and feeling the profound, uncomplicated comfort of being genuinely loved and cherished.
