The colder it gets, the better they look.

An ugly girl at 50 degrees is a drop dead hottie at -35 degrees.

Will I have trouble meeting pretty girls there? Are they friendlier in general?

Very wise words That's a mistake you don't want to make.

Best of luck, I hope everything works out well for you.

I would think the girls of Anchorage are pretty and fit, especially this time of year because the May thru September period in Anchorage is a very outdoorsy time.

Much like the plants that get extremely ripe in the long hours of summer daylight, the girls are outside more this time of year and this makes for good health and beauty. In June it's the 24-hour solar flare for golf and kayak season...then August and September it's still not too cold and days are still quite long (in anchorage September the darkness is on the morning but still plenty of light on the evenings). Outdoor activity makes one slim.

Also Anchorage girls will tend to have a pretty and pale complexion (skin very healthy with less damage from UV) if local because the sun intensity is never too extreme above parallel 60 latitude. But some of the college girls are transplants and possibly those who would choose Anchorage would be on the daring/adventurous side and the physical fitness in this group tends to run high as well.

Also certain muscle groups are used more by Alaskans... The shins (uphill climbing, arm muscles from lifting camping gear, hiking, canoeing

In winter you will see how pretty everyone looks in their winter jackets. You know anchorage doesn't get subzero weather the way Fairbanks does because of the coast, but the windchill in Anchorage makes winter feel almost as cold as Fairbanks. Fairbanks temperatures wise gets MUCH deeper cold in winter because the coastal pacific air is completely blocked by the Denali mountain range between Anchorage and Fairbanks.

Also Within Alaska, Anchorage will give more natural moisturizing on skin surface because of the gentle moderating moisture off the pacific. You want to see even prettier girls drive down to Homer and Seward, remember that singer "Jewel" who sang "who will save your soul"...she was from the peninsula.

I would not be surprised to see a more outdoorsy lifestyle in Alaska. As for being pale in complexion, that depends on ethnicity. If you are White, odds are you will be pale in complexion. If you are Pacific Islander or African-American, or Native American odds are you won't be pale

At the risk of getting in trouble with my wife, this summer I have seen plenty of attractive women around Anchorage and Eagle River. I wouldn't know about marital status - although some of the ones I ran into were with their husbands/boyfriends.
Bear in mind that a large percentage of those would be touristas. Anchorage looks a bit different on the off-seasons.

I doubt they are all touristas NewbiePoster... They may be recent transplants though.
