Hi Andrea,
Out here in Montana, at least in my neck of the woods (mountains), it’s not chaotic at all. I only go to town a few times a month though and other than having to wear a mask at Costco and what I read in the newspaper I’m shielded from much of the happenings. Living out of town is a way of life for me. I grew up in rural WI and have only lived ‘in town’ for a few months of my life. I’ve never lived in a big city and never will. I have no issue with those that chose to do so but it’s just not for me. Some folks crave the faster pace and convenience of living in a town/city and others, like myself, crave the countryside/mountains. Here’s an example. I’ve hiked over 40 miles (on 4 separate occasions) in the past week alone. Today I hiked 9 miles in the Gates of the Mountains Wilderness with my dog and some ‘neighbors’ that are in their 70’s. Saw some beautiful flowers (wild roses, bitterroots, paintbrush, etc), picked a few slippery jack mushrooms, ate a few dandelions, saw bear tracks, saw lots of elk, etc.. That’s my life and what I live for. And it’s all free. How can you beat that? The only downside to living as I do is that it can get lonely at times. And that’s a big part of the reason why I seek a like minded partner. Someone that truly yearns for the lifestyle and is willing to put in the hard work for the rewards of nature. The simple life...
As for Match.com, there are a couple reasons I mentioned that that might not be a bad idea. Although I’m the type of person that gives zero shits what others think of me I also like a little privacy when discussing certain matters. And I also like to see a pic of the person I’m communicating with...
Take care,
DJ
