Date women from United States / Alaska / Anchorage, 51 year old

Date someone special from Anchorage, United States. I am a strong minded woman. I am very independant . I would like someone who is confident and together . I want someone who cares about life and the planet . I am not looking for someone who is very materialistic or selfish.

Meet a soulmate from Anchorage, United States. What to write? I'll be honest and might share more than most but this is who I really am. No games, no bull, a work in progress towards my goals. If things you share don't add up, I'll question you about it. It's easier to remember the truth than the lies.
I'm looking for a friend that might lead to something greater. It would be nice to have someone to invite over to sit by the fire, go to the movies and dinner, ride bikes, go for a walk, enjoy some great conversation, or just sit quietly and watch the sunset. I'm really interested in companionship at this time so we don't have to rush into any major relationship. If you live out of my area, it's nice to think that things might develop over the distance but it always seems to be more complicated than that. Plus, I'm looking for someone that I can spend time with in my area.
I've lost almost my entire family. It's taken me some time to get back to this point but I love life beyond words! I would like to find someone to experience what this great state has to offer. I want to hike the great wilderness trails, explore Denali National Park, visit the panhandle region, and much more. I want to learn how to ice skate (at least better), go kayaking in the ocean with the sea life that calls Alaska home, bike the city and mountain trails, go to hockey games (not alone), become more of a player in life's great activities. I grew up being extremely active by riding my bike all over my tri-city area, was involved with English style riding on magnificent horses, marched in one of the greatest bands in TX, was part of the hot air balloon community by crewing and even had my student pilot's license just before I moved to Guam. I've lived 11 years of my life on Guam, 5 as a kid and 6 teaching the fantastic children of the island. I've been in Alaska since 1995 and will be here beyond my retirement years unless someone can give me a great reason to leave.
Speaking of retirement, I'm a teacher with many years in the system here in Alaska. If I were to leave before retirement, I would have to start at the bottom again. At my age, I'm not willing to do that. I don't mean to sound selfish but I have learned over the years that I have to take care of me. I'm not interested in running off to a far away land to "Test" out a relationship.
My partner needs to love life as much as I do. You must show integrity towards others and in all you do. Humor and laughter should be part of your spirit. You must be willing to love unconditionally. We must be equal in our relationship while understanding and accepting of each other's views, beliefs, and opinions. We don't have to agree on everything. Please don't wink at me unless you intend to have a chat with me. If you cannot identify with the above, thank you for taking a moment to look at my profile and I wish you the best of luck in your search.
I have lost a good amount of weight and still have more to go. I'm doing it the correct way by exercising and eating right (at least trying to). It will take me some time but I will reach my goal weight. I'm finding that when I receive matches from Match.com, I look at that body type expectations. If it's listed as average or slender, I pass it by, not wanting to waste anyone's time. I might be wrong with this view but as I've stated, no games. I'm cute and I know it. The number on the scale is NOT WHO I AM. I also think it would be so much more fun to continue my goal weight journey with a friend by my side. :-)
An added note about my interests - If it's not listed, it doesn't mean that I'm not interested in it, just don't participated in those activities at this time. I'm open to most activities
AND - I'm finding that I'll get a wink but I'm unable to view the profile. Not sure if it's a technical problem or that the profile went into hiding. Please know that if you make any kind of contact, I will respond - or at least make the strong attempt to

Date a woman from Anchorage, United States. I enjoy traveling and adventuring in Alaska and beyond. I have been in Alaska for over 11 years and still have things to see and places to go. I have a positive outlook on life and want to enjoy my time here. My kids are grown and I finally have time to do the things I want to do. I enjoy my work, but need to have fun when I am not working. If you are a couch potato and never want to leave the house, you are not the one for me.
I grew up in Minnesota. I have had the good fortune to be able to do some traveling in the last few years and really enjoy the adventures. Have been to Kenya, Costa Rica, Alamos and Puerta Vallarta Mexico, and to Hawaii a few times. I am working on the 55 ways to the wilderness in Alaska and hope to cross a few more off the list this summer. I have been able to visit many places in Alaska that most who live here never get to see - even been to Gambell where I could see Russia from there :-)
I work in medical practice management and do private consulting. The best part is that I have a very flexible schedule and am able to arrange my work schedule around my personal schedule. This was never my career plan from the beginning, but am blessed to have ended up where I am.
I am looking for someone who can appreciate my sarcastic sense of humor and who is interested in being active and doing/seeing new things. I come from a small rural community and value integrity and honesty.

Meet a woman from Alaska, United States. I am curious about these online match sites and where this may lead me. It would be nice to meet a new friend with similar interests. So about me and who's I am looking for..
I was raised in and love living in Alaska, along with a mix of winter tropical travels. The past many years my life focus has been raising my brilliant athletic sons. Now with one already in career mode, and two fast approaching college...I foresee a new chapter with more me time, or hopefully more we in time. I am a happy and positive person who feels very blessed in life. I would like to find someone who shares the same optimistic view. Someone who makes me laugh and i them, good chemistry is a must,.... Well I still have over 3000 spaces left to fill on the topic and for now I will conclude with this. I believe in fate and that we will both know when our worlds align. If there is any chance that it might be you, as you are gazing into your crystal ball, how about send me a clue. :)

Date someone special from United States. I am looking for an outdoorsman companion that exercises gentlemanly behaviors! "Gentlemanly behaviors?" If you need explanation than I guess you need to go back and do some homework....At this stage in life I am not here to raise or train a boy to become a man! Anyway, I would like someone that loves nature and the outdoors. Also my ideal companion would love people regardless of age and status in life and treat all with due respect. Kindness and respect to animals is also a must as I am an animal lover. Only have one dog right now, but have owned cats, horses, dogs and various other animals. Somone that can discuss conflicts or issues without getting into a power struggle or becoming heated is important to me. I like to be heard in a relationship. I am a great listener, kind and very giving, affectionate, passionate, honest and loyal.
I have lived in Indiana, Utah, Arizona, Switzerland and California. I was raised in Indiana and went to college at IUPUI in Indianapolis receiving a BS in Dental Hygiene. My first job was in Switzerland where I fell in love with hiking and exploring. Also in college went backpacking for the first time in Colorado and fell in love with the mountains! Also have enjoyed beached in Hawaii, the Caribbean, Florida and California. The Big Island of Hawaii is one of my favorite places due to its diverse landscape. You can be on the beach one day and hiking across a volcanic crater the next! I love water...lakes, rivers, oceans! In Indiana I grew up waterskiing all summer and really appreciate the warm Midwestern lakes. I love hiking, camping, fishing, boating and most anything outdoors.
My children are grown and live in Utah and Arizona. We like to hike together and they also introduced me to rock climbing in Southern Utah on our last adventure. It was really a growing experience! I know there are many places yet to see and explore, but I guess my heart lies mostly in Indiana and Utah. The people in Indiana are so wonderful and the scenery in S Utah is so gorgeous! I am open to relocating as I am independent now and can live wherever I choose. That's a nice feeling but I would like to share life with someone that has the same interests,values that is interdependent in a relationship.
I tend to lean towards men that are 46 to 55 because frankly most men older than that look very unhealthy and much older than their years. I have always kept in great shape and value fitness and health highly. In order to do many of the things that I enjoy I want to live a healthy lifestyle and keep my body looking great! My friends all say that I am in great shape and don't think I look my age. It's a nice compliment!
Good luck in your search and if you think we have a lot in common...please get in touch!

Meet a soulmate from United States. I am looking forward to another fun filled summer in Alaska and would like to get to know you along the way. I like road and mountain biking, hiking, camping, and fishing. If you have a boat or plane or motorcycle or RV all the better as I make a great travel companion and enjoy getting out. We can switch up the list of toys and activities come winter.
Although my game has suffered over the past couple of years, I do like to golf but I do not take the game too serious. I would rather enjoy the time together and being outside. I love to travel but that is a winter activity for me.
All that being said, I am still a lady and like being treated as such. I enjoy a nice meal with wine and stimulating conversation. I like going to performances at the PAC as well as smaller venues. Being spoiled with flowers, thoughtful gestures, and cooking together keeps the spark alive.
I like to make room in my life for friends, family, and volunteering so expect to entertain yourself at times with the same. I encourage it! It makes us both more interesting when we have diverse interests and experiences.
My friends say I do not mince words and that I say what is on my mind. I must agree. I have been described as having an opinion but not opinionated. So most times you will know where I stand. You can stand where you choose and I will respect that.

Date a woman from United States. The World's Loveliest Catch! Brains and beauty, loves to laugh. I miss Alaska. I left in the late 90's for the Pacific Northwest. Soon to retire and now an empty nester. I miss the adventure, a cozy fire and the energy of Alaskans. I am creative, energetic and a great shotgun rider. The more interesting you are the more curious I will be!

. How are us mature women with a wealth of life, love and experience supposed to compete with that...Well, I feel no need or desire to. I have worked hard all of my life, accomplished many things and had a great life. Now I am looking for friends and an opportunity to meet someone to get to know and possibly share my life with. I am a good hearted, loving woman. I am giving, caring and kind. I do have expectations of a man that is a gentleman and knows how to treat Me right.
, I need to update my profile again. I am not interested in anyone outside the state of Alaska or really further than 30 miles from Anchorage. I don't have a need or desire for a long distance relationship. I don't want someone to move up here to meet me. Most of the contacts are scams...please don't waste my time. And I am just saying this because 3/4 of the winks and contacts are from People out of state whose profiles disappear within a couple of hours.
Ideally, I would like someone that is in shape, that is healthy and likes to work out. Someone that is a hard worker, has good work ethics, with a good sense of humor and doesn't take life too seriously all the time. Someone that is dependable, honest and caring, with a good attitude. I am really looking for friends to start with. If there is chemistry we will know it. If not, hey hopefully we would have made a new friend.
I have one awesome son. He turned 30 years old in August. He is 6'5" (part of the reason I am used to being around tall guys) and Good Looking. I love and respect him, unfortunately I only get to see him a couple times a year.
I go to the gym 4-5 times a week. I would love to find someone to work out with, hike or bike with. I am in between about normal and hitting my goal of being athletic and toned again. I am on a diet plan and eat healthy most of the time. That being said, I still like to drink Coors Light and have the occasional meal that is just not on my diet. When I get to my goal weight I will cook more....I mean, who wants to come over and have chicken and veggies for every meal? I was a great cook in Texas and was pretty well known for dinner parties that included Bar-B-Q, Lasagna or Tex-Mex.
In living part of the Alaskan dream. I built a cabin from the ground up. It was an awesome experience, a lot of hard work, an amazing sense of accomplishment, unfortunately, it was built on the ex's land...so, it became his cabin..oh well..I have been there and done that and will buy the next one...smile..life goes on.
Even though I am an outdoors person, I do enjoy going to movies, concerts (saw Elton John and Trace Adkins), and plays (Lion King,Wizard of Oz and Beauty and the Beast). I also like to meet for a drink, dinner and/or dancing. Yes, being from Texas, I do like to 2 step, 3 step, double 2 step and Waltz. I also like the opportunity to dress up and go out on the town. The Miners and Trappers Ball was a hoot and a whole lot of fun.
I am a hard worker, but really love my time off. I get 6 weeks a year vacation/sick leave, plus 10 holidays and week-ends...so, I have lots of time available to not only see Alaska, but other parts of the world as well. Since coming to Alaska, I have traveled more than ever. I have been to Hawaii, Texas (several times), Nevada, CA, Washington, DC, Virginia, Tennessee, Georgia, Indiana, Ohio, New York and look forward to The Cayman Islands, Austrailia and Europe and of course, seeing more of the lower 48 and lots more of Alaska. I had an amazing drive from Texas to Alaska, so, I have been through Tok, I have visited Fairbanks, Chena Hot Springs, North Pole, Valdez, and drove the Alaska Highway. I have been to Denali, Soldotna, Seward, Hope, Homer Whittier and Girdwood several times. Still want to see Cordova, Juno and where ever else I can get to.
I am a positive person. I love who I am and living in Alaska...take care, until we meet again, keep smiling.

. Low maintenance, no drama...
The short version...lifelong Alaskan with diverse interests, well educated, professional, outgoing and social, very petite, adventurous, positive attitude, energetic, respectful, loves to have fun! I work hard and play harder.
The longer version....I enjoy the finer things in life, yet appreciate the simple things...an exotic beach, a frost covered tree, a black tie affair, an invigorating hike, coffee on the patio, dinner at the top of the Space Needle, a quiet evening at home by the fire, a walk around the neighborhood while snow is falling.
I am personable, independent, and easy to get along with. I was blessed with a touch of competitive spirit, but nothing you can't handle. I like to ski, fly, travel, snowmachine, camp, fish, and enjoy every day to its fullest. I know how to pump floats and filet a salmon! I love baseball and I enjoy watching other sports as well - football and hockey in particular - especially when I have a team to root for. I'm comfortable in jeans and hiking boots or a little black dress with heels. I can hold my own in any social situation. I value my family and friends and am happy spending time with them. I'm looking for someone to spend time with and enjoy all Alaska has to offer.
Someone who is genuine, respectful and has a good sense of humor is required. I am spirited and looking for someone who exudes a zest for life. Every day is a gift so enjoy it! I am content heading out on a new journey or spending a quiet moment at home. I like to cook for others and experiment with new recipes. Are you daring enough to try my concoctions? ;)
My 2012 New Year's Resolution: I will only surround myself with kind, positive, respectful people. If you do not fit this description, please continue on down the road!!!! ;)
As my profile name indicates, I am a lady and would like to be treated like one. In return, I will respect you for who you are. I enjoy being with a good conversationalist, one who is kind hearted, compassionate, adventurous, nonjudgmental, and likes to travel. I don't care for smokers, but I do enjoy a fine glass of wine every now and then.
I like to be on the go, but I also enjoy my down time. It's all about finding that balance. In the summer you can find me fishing in a stream, hiking a local peak, or at the baseball field. I also enjoy drinking morning coffee on the deck while the birds chirp in the background. In winter you'll most likely find me skiing at Alyeska, xc skiing on hillside trails, or snowmachining at Hatcher Pass. I enjoy an occasional meal at Suite 100, Southside Bistro, Orso's, Simon's, Sushi Gardens, Turnagain House, Double Musky, or a variety of other local restaurants. I like curling up with a fire, a blanket, and a good movie. Care to join me?
I enjoy traveling and would like to venture out of the USA to explore other cultures. My trips in the past year have included Maui, Seattle, Las Vegas, St. Paul, Orlando, and the Dominican Republic all of which I enjoyed!
My rushes.... Downhill skiing with clear blue skies, crisp air, and fresh powder; Hooking into a king salmon, landing it, and eating it for dinner; A view of majestic Denali on a clear day; Reaching the peak on a hike; A great sunset; Snuggling with someone you love; Roller coasters and water slides; Spending time with my kids! What gives you a rush?
I have spent the past years raising my two children. My son will head off to college in the fall and my daughter has two more years of high school. It's time for me to find that special someone to experience life with. Interested? Drop me an email and let's get this adventure started!

. I'm loving and protective of those I love. Enjoy music of all kinds rock,country,jazz. I enjoy reading , watching football ,going to the Aces games,four wheeling,camping,fishing,walking the trails,crafting,gardening,or just going for a coffee.
I'm hoping to find someone with a good sense of humor, likes the outdoors or snuggling on the couch watching a good movie. Communication and laughter is important.
