Date women from United States / Alaska / Unalaska

Date a woman from United States. Greetings from Dutch Harbor, Alaska! If you've seen the TV show filmed here, you might know that -- at the edge of the western hemisphere -- there is a real shortage of available, healthy, relationship-minded men! The odds are good but the goods are odd.... So, because I am an adventurous soul, I am willing to try Match.com as a way to meet a man who appreciates a meaningful, joyful, active, family-oriented life. I'm happy, intelligent, compassionate, introspective, curious, passionate. Others say I am loyal, generous, friendly, kind, and funny. I daily try to make healthy choices for my mind, body, and spirit, and that of my children, and I consider myself successful if I can stay active and do the next right thing. There are a lot of recreational opportunities on our island. We play team sports and use the gym and pool at the community center. In summer, we like to hike the hills, or walk the beach and have a picnic and bonfire, or ride the skiff to the cabin and stay a few days, breathing the fresh air and enjoying the often liquid sunshine. And fish, pick berries and wildflowers, watch wildlife, relax. This winter we have been sledding a lot because the colossal amount of snow makes getting to the beach difficult and it is just too cold to take out the open boat. (5/11/12 - still snowing!) We like to travel, and get to Anchorage to visit my parents and the rest of my siblings fairly often. When I get time off from being Mom, I like to hit the gym or crank out an uphill hike. Dinner and a movie or game night with friends has been an okay substitute for cuddling, and I stay busy. I volunteer as a board member for the local Arts Council, and help out at our Community Broadcasting station and with my childrens' Scout troop. I have a good relationship with my ex; we ended our 16 year relationship two years ago, and I have primary custody of our two children.
Life is pretty good for me and mine out here, and there's room in our life for many more adventures and experiences. I believe a relationship can be established long distance if people are honest and willing to communicate. I look forward to what comes next.
Thank you for reading! Enjoy the journey.
