You want a real rugged Alaskan woman who grew up living rurally and who already knows how to poop in a outhouse, split the firewood, cut up a moose, and fix your truck.
Rural does not mean we walked into the 1500's, it just means its far from city centers. There is no reason you cant have indoor plumbing, central heat (even AC in the summer) and internet. In fact no internet is a deal breaker, I will dig the trench and lay the cable myself if I have too to get internet.

When I lived in Haines, the summer workers were fresh meat. Otherwise, there were tons of single women and almost no single men. If they were single, there was a reason. Of course the summer I worked in Skagway, the favorite expression there was "the odds are good, and the goods are odd." While working in Anchorage, I did try to do a work from home stint in Willow, coming in to Anchorage for one or two days a week. I much prefer the rural/out the road/off the grid lifestyle. Yes, I had a generator for occasional power to watch a movie. I had a shower tent in the summer, and rigged up something indoor for the winter, a marine toliet for winter indoor use that i dumped now and then to a hole lined by a trash can i cut the bottom out of, and the hole i dug in the summer, carried water from the gas station, etc, etc, etc. as a single, older person, not in the best of shape, i don't think i look like a boot, or smell like one, but still never found any single men to date. i do have a child, but he is 11 now. all the men at my work are married, and i don't do bars, and the crochet club i was in was all women. Well, work didn't like me out of the office that much, so I had to move back (after 6 months). I moved out there right after the Sockeye fire, with hotspots still, and the move in was in January. I have made several moves in blizzards, even though that wasn't one of them, just icy. I rode the bus to work for a year, and never met anyone I would date.

What about most women in the Fairbanks area? How do they compare to Los Anchorage?

In what ways? Our abilities to poop in a outhouse, split the firewood, cut up a moose, and fix your truck? I don't know much of anything about Anchorage much less the girls there, but it seems like we're more likely to be able to poop in an outhouse and split firewood, at a minimum, just 'cos half of Fairbanks heats with wood and doesn't have running water.

Or, do you mean to ask how do we stack up in general? I don't know. There's a local musician that sings a song about a city girl that wears white pants to Fairbanks. She ain't from here.

I think that i passed through Delta once I can't be sure though because it happened too fast.

.....why would anyone go to these places looking for "someone "?.

I don't think people move places like that looking for someone. I think people's lives take them places and life happens. Maybe they part ways with their "someone" and want to look for another. Or some variation on that. ?
