Hi my name is Danielle. I'm fed up with the government and the technology filled rat race. I'm alone and I am looking for love. I'd like to find a man who would appreciate having a helpmate. A wife essentially, but I'm divorcing myself from the government so maybe just a wife in God's eyes instead of the federal government's eyes. I'm 34, I enjoy all things natural and I love to be helpful and to learn new things. I like drawing, bicycling, animals, cooking and I love to clean and organize. I'm not quite sure where to find like minded individuals without a subscription so I came here. Please let me know what you think 😊 Currently I am in Oregon and I have been living in and traveling in my car so I have no problem relocating. Thanks 😊 Please leave a picture.

I am 38, currently splitting time between Philadelphia PA, and Mays Landing, NJ. I work in Tech, but I am working towards renovating a couple of houses (for potential rental income), and building out a roughly six acre permaculture garden that will hopefully include a number of small businesses like a market garden/orchard/cut flowers/apiary. I believe I share your view of the government. I would like to find someone who is interested in permaculture, gardening, value added processing, essentially someone looking to live a homesteading type of life style. If these goals/life style and living on the east coast sounds appealing to you shoot me a DM and I can send you a selfie.

Hi I am Gary and would love to begin communicating with you regarding the possibility of getting together to create a off grid life style. I have been in the past a Certified Organic Market grower. so growing our own food would nt be a problem. I currently am looking for property with a year round creek to provide our own electrical power. I would love to see if we could possibly be compatible to take on this new life style.  I also am importing Vanilla Beans from Madagascar as a way of adding extra monies to the life style. My web site should be up and running within a few days. Well there is lots more to the story so perhaps you will have enough interest to contact me @ sourceoffood@gmailcom. Best Gary Peaches ( my Dog ) Hope you like dogs.

Thank you lol. Yes, I get that quite often and it can be frustrating because people don't take me seriously.

I know how it is (opposite way). My x was like you,  she looked a lot younger than she was. And then when I was in my 30's my beard started turning white. People thought she was my daughter then when they found out she was my wife they didn't know what to say. Probably thought I was robbing the cradle even though I was only 6 years older than her.

Sounds like you are hiking your own hike, Danielle, and that is a noble cause.  Wishing that you find your way and connect with like-minded types that can help you to stay free and safe out there while you continue searching.  Take a look in this community sub-forum https://permies.com/f/42/singles if you have yet to.

Hello, I am first and foremost a Christian. I do not like putting my pictures online as I am sure you can understand. However I don't mind sharing and talking via email if you are interested, wallzecky@gmail.com You asked if anyone would appreciate a helpmate and wife and I would qualify for that:). Looking forward to hearing from you.

Hi Danielle!

I'm Andrew. Like you, I don't know where to go to find like-minded individuals interested in permaculture and dating without a subscription of some sort, so after reading Wheaton's book Building a Better World in Your Backyard instead of Being Angry at Bad Guys, I decided to check this place out!

I own about 70 mostly wooded acres in northern Michigan, where I am very slowly building out an off-grid homestead. It'd be great to tackle this challenge with someone like you!

More about me. I'm a Christian. I'm 31 years old, 6'3" tall, weigh about 200 lbs., and have blonde hair. I'm in average shape but that is changing as I continue to work on projects. To justify my physical description, I'm happy to send you a picture of myself and projects if you'd like to reach out to me at reversal_doing008@simplelogin.com. For privacy reasons, I'd prefer to not post a picture of myself here. Like you, I'm fed up with our current technology-dependent culture and certain aspects of government. Ironically, I work remotely as a software developer to pay the bills for now, but I would love to transition to a completely self-sufficient lifestyle. I'd like to have a family and kids.

I'm highly educated, but I realize that this isn't all it's cracked up to be. The good news is that I implement what I've learned in many projects around my homestead. I've designed my own PV system; I know simple carpentry, plumbing, and electrical skills; I have, at least in my opinion, a big garden; I'm aware of technological trends and technology privacy strategies. While I enjoy cooking, animals, and bicycles, your skills would be most welcome.

How do you envision a divorce from government in your life beyond not having a future marriage license?  What are your favorite animals?

Andrew

Hi Danielle,  I'm 63yo single man.  I've just retired from a 40 year successful career in the rat-race.  I'm young in heart and mind, healthy, fit and determined.  I've been researching sustainable lifestyle for several years in preparation for this transition.  I'm looking for a friend and helpmate to get in on the ground floor of this adventure.  It's time to look for land, plan the homestead and construct a tiny sustainable home, a barn for animals and pastures for grazing.  If you're interested, please reply.

    Danielle   I see you are still advertising as a help mate. And I would love to have contact with you to explore the possibilities. Sharing ideas of where to live and start the farm / homestead in it self would be fun.  Perhaps you will have enough interest to at least make contact. I could really use the help and would love to share my knowledge and teach you all that I know about farming and building.

Hi Danielle
I am a very ambitious female looking for a help mate/land share.......
Just read your post and if you don't mind relocating, it would be a great idea to share my beautiful land in Senegal, bordering The Gambia (20 minutes away from The Gambia).

I have recently purchased 4 acres of land and intend to cultivate a food forest; but in the meantime I am working on planting vegetables so I can be self sufficient.

I am living off grid and have plenty of drinkable water on the land and a newly built house. I love the fact that you are ready to leave the rat race and return to nature. I also love organizing and making things happen. If you are interested, feel free to reach out. In the meantime - all the best!

Hi Danielle, my name is Dustin. One question for you; have you listened to the song "Rich Men North of Richmond" by Oliver Anthony and what do you think of it?

PS: I think I still have a 'profile' here on Permies that you can visit to find out more info about me. It's 3 years old but most everything still applies. If I hear back from you I'll gladly upload a current mugshot.

Take care,
Dustin

Hi Danielle,  I just found this site and am looking for help on our little farm in North Idaho . A little about us. I am a 60 year old widow , Christian woman. My son , 29 year old ex marine lives with me and helps me. I have 40 acres, with chickens, sheep, ducks, geese and scottish highland cows and a garden and greenhouse.  We are in the process of rebuilding our barn . When the barn is finished we will be getting a couple of horses.. We could sure use some help in the organizing and cleaning area and gardening. It is a great place to live ,lots of wonderful friends and my other 2 sons and their families live close by and come by often.
You might be wondering why I'm replying lol to find my son a friend hopefully develop into something serious.  He has given up on finding a nice young lady and it makes me sad. I think he is a handsome young man ( mom might be a little biased lol) very loyal, loves to cook , an amazing artist, loves animals, very creative but not organized (runs in the family) tender hearted , protective , doesn't care much for small talk. He loves kayaking, snow boarding, shooting guns, hiking etc. You can email if you like at jcdub2011@gmail.com.  Blessings to you.
