...I'm giving up finding "the one" for me. I've had it with all the empty emails that start off ok but don't continue into a personal contact. I've looked long and hard for a lady to come into my life, to live out this economic down fall that now exists in the US. I have most everything paid for and yet can't seem to find a lady to come into my life and share it with me. I don't live close to a town or city, I live in interior Alaska on my own land next to the wilds of this great state that I choose to live in.
During the summer months, I give my time to a full time job in a small town to the south of here and take my winters off to accomplish what needs to be accomplished here at home. I try to live a subsistance lifestyle, heating my home with firewood, and hauling water from a creek close to my house. I use a small Honda generator to power my small space that I call home. I live frugally and try not to buy things that I "want" but try to buy things that I "need." If you know the meaning of these two words (need/want) then you may have a better chance in understanding from where I'm coming from.
With our country going into an all out ressession, I feel it's time for me to quit searching for "the one" that's not out there. I should've stopped searching at the ten year mark but I was fooled into thinking that there was still someone out there that would cherish this lifestyle that I've created for myself and one other.
I've come to the conclusion that I've got to pull the plug on this idea. That now is the time to be this way.
I'm leaving my profile up for the next week and will be deleting all my profiles from the internet the middle of next week.
Enough is enough and life goes on for me. I wish you all good luck in surviving the coming US economic crisis that we're now in...

Sounds like you have it pretty good there, living the dream, but giving up doesn't work either, I tried that too and if anything it makes finding a female human even harder. :)

Yes, I can understand your current position. A lot of men, myself included, would love to live that type of lifestyle, being self sufficient and not being a prisoner to your job and the power company. Unfortunately, it is probably nearly impossible to find a woman who wants to sign up for the "Grizzly Adams" way of living. Women like that exist, but I suspect they are few in numbers. Perhaps you can find a new place that has land, but is a little closer to a town, and have he best of both worlds. Good luck.

We never REALLY give up. Sorry, it's bred into us as animals to want a mate..
But...well, if they don't want to play then..... 
I'm just like you. spent my entire life working to get to a place in life that was easy to maintain, without stress and have enough free time to enjoy life. I've been there for a couple of years now. I retired at 45.
I have a nice little place in the woods where some weeks I never see another human, but I'm only 4 miles from town...women definitely DO NOT like the Grizzly Adams type, nor do they like "rustic" living...even if it costs 1/4 what a crappy apartment in a crackhead neighborhood would cost.
Don't give up, just give it a rest. Enjoy what you worked for and understand that your dream might not be the same dream that some silicon sister with bleach blond hair might like.
But remember...when the malls are all gone and Neiman-Marcus is bankrupt and all the "bad boys" are in jail or have converted to born again christians...
Guys like us will still be out there enjoying life with big smiles on our faces.
Good guys have always finished last...but it's the begining of a new era. Most of the "good guys" I know are also pretty smart and will weather this big change in the world just fine. We might win by default..last guys standing!

My ex hubby married a chinese woman. He lives in a simple ranch style house, but across the street from it is a very modern and large home. When she saw that she said, I want our place to look like that. Yes, even some of the chinese women are picky. I was happy living in the ranch. I guess everyone is different. I think if a woman really does love a guy, it doesn't matter where she lives, just as long as you are both together, that's what love is really about.
I think it's great you are self sufficient.
