Where have all the good men gone?

I am a single woman in my 30's. For the most part, I am ok with this. Do I want to fall in love, get married and have a family? Of course! Whenever it happens, it happens and it will be great when it does. Until then, I am enjoying my life as it is. What cracks me up is when people try to "fix my problem" and tell me how to go about snagging a man. I get all kinds of advice. In fact, I should compile a list of all the things people suggest to me. It would be quite humorous, believe me! A few years ago I was home visiting my family in Idaho and a friend of my mom's went on and on about how I should move to Alaska to find a husband.

Apparently the odds are good in Alaska! Something like ten single men for every single woman. In fact, there are books and magazines on the subject (check out this article that I found: How to marry an Alaskan man) and dating sites and even Oprah had an episode devoted to helping these poor Alaskan men find a wife. It seems that Alaska is an untapped resource, overflowing with an abundance of single men! Hmm.... why on earth am I in Southern California?

Yesterday, I was with my friend, Marby, and she was telling me how she totally sees me with a rugged, mountain man type. It makes sense I guess. I grew up in the mountains of Idaho so I am familiar with living in the middle of nowhere and having to drive an hour to go to the store. I am not freaked out by the idea of camping, fishing, hunting game, and having to learn how to make venison taste good. And I have to say that I happen to think every man looks sexy in a pair of Carhartts!

See what I mean? *swoon!*

Yeah, I can totally see my self living in the wild wilderness with some Alaskan hunk of a man. So thank you for the suggestion, ladies! Next step in life - move to Alaska and go on a man hunt! Any single ladies want to join me? There will be plenty to go around. Although, I will pass along one word of caution that I picked up from others that have gone on this journey before me, "The odds may be good, but the goods are odd!"
Maybe there is a reason all of those men are single! YIKES!
