UPDATE: Turns out the right man was there all along, and I couldn't be more pleased to say this post is no longer open for inquiries. Thank you to Permies.com for connecting me to a man like no other!

Thanks for the inspiration. I am without a doubt ready to turn some pages when he shows up! Thankfully,  I am a very patient woman with complete faith that it'll all be worth it. 😁

Season's greeting to all my Permie friends both old and new!

As it turns out, he was not the man for me, and my search continues. Consider this post back open for inquiries. Please be sure to read my initial post and include a picture with a short bio on your introduction message. I know you're out there somewhere.

Best wishes,
Alice

Quick update: I have met the man I have been praying for and will no longer be responding to romantic inquiries. Thank you to everyone who has either given me advice, encouragement, or just a kind conversation. I wish you all the best and pray for your good fortune and blessings!

Hello James,

You sound like the type of man I would like to learn more about. I'm wondering if you saw the part in my bio that explains that I am unable to physically have more children? If having children is what you mean when you refer to "family life" I am unfortunately not able to provide that. If you would like you can send me a "purple mooseage" that way you don't have to reply publicly and we can talk more in depth. Thank you for reaching out and being willing to put yourself out there. I admire that in a man as it shows that you are willing to conquer your fears and take healthy chances. Hope to hear back!

I love the native culture and want to share my life with someone I can trust with everything I have. Marriage is not an option but if you trust me I'll do my best to make you feel whole and complete. Life is a journey I don't want to spend it alone anymore!

Hello Brian,

I can respect that marriage is not an option for you. Although in reading your desire it sounds as if a marriage is what you are looking for. Do you mind if I ask your reasons for not wanting to marry the woman you expect to trust with everything you have? I'm not judging your decision, I would just like to understand it if possible. I thought that I never wanted to be married again after going through my divorce, and discovered after being with a man for 3 years who did not want to get married, that I in fact did want to be married someday. For this reason I don't know that I would be the best match for you seeing as how I have already discovered this truth about myself and my own desires. You can send me a private message if you would like to talk more.

I was divorced in 2020 after helping my partner of +5 years realize her desire to date women. This is related to my general inclination to be non-monogamous, which does not mean polyamory necessarily (I have tried that, it was a bit too much for me). But I do like to be in relationship where open and honest conversation about attraction can be discussed and neither person believes they "own" the other person.  Emotional fidelity is very important to me, much more than physical fidelity.

Alice, I must say, you're intimidatingly attractive and I have no idea if you'd even consider relocating to the middle of South Dakota, but, I thought I'd respond all the same, because, as I mentioned above, mutual interest is more important than romantic/carnal connection.

Nick,

Thank you for sending such a great introduction and being willing to share openly about yourself. I may add however, that in the future you might want to double check that you have removed the previous woman’s name from it completely before sending it to the next 😉. Granted, the personalized compliment at the bottom is a nice touch that I do appreciate.

From what I have read, you sound like a fascinating person who no doubt leads an interesting and passion driven life. I do feel we differ quite a bit in our concepts and notions around physical fidelity. I think it’s perfectly acceptable that you have such a liberal view on monogamy, but I am looking for an exclusive partner with the intention of becoming lifelong companions through marriage. It doesn’t seem that we align in this area, but I appreciate your consideration and wish you luck in your search on Permies!

Best wishes,
Alice

It has been a year since creating this post, and although I have met many interesting people and experienced wonderful conversations, I have yet to connect with a significant match. I’m thinking it may be time to update my post and add a few more recent photos. So, if you come across this post and are curious to find out if you and I might be the right fit for one another, feel free to reach out as my post is still relevant. Please also include a bio with a recent picture of yourself. Preferably at least one without sunglasses. I promise I won’t think you are any less cool without them.

Ben,

Thank you for the positivity. I have been following your search for a partner on the forum with intrigue, and am praying you find your wilderness woman. You have built a beautiful retreat and seem to be well grounded. I love that you aren't ashamed to tell others that your a Jesus freak. I think he's a pretty rad dude myself. Good luck on your search, if only I were a bit older... 😁

Hello Jon,

I'm not sure if you are aware that neither your most recent inquiry nor your previous one included a photo. Also, I will reiterate the fact that I will not respond through email. Please use the purple mooseage feature if you are uncomfortable sharing openly on the forum.
