The calm before the storm

All right all you ladies. I'm about to embark on an, adventure! Anchorage Alaska for six weeks. Where the men have guns and know how to use them? Well, I'm about to find out. :)
Before I go I have secured my first suitors. I bit the bullet and joined the on-line dating scene in Anchorage, I went cheap and joined the free site, ok cupid. Here's hoping the men aren't cheap in every way :\
So far the prospects are not so promising. I've gotten winks and messages, this doesn't appear to be hard part. The hard part is getting a message from someone worth giving my time. My first message went a little something like this.
"How do you feel about adding playful spanking into our relationship?" First of all let me say, "What Relationship!!??" Did this man enter into a relationship with my photo? Freak. Not to mention he could play a double for the single guy sitting by himself in the front of the strip club.

Another message said, "You sound more interesting than most, plus somewhat educated and working towards a goal - I wasn't sure I could find that in Alaska.
I like your picture, by the way". OMG . Alaskan men can't find educated women? Do they not have schools and colleges in Alaska? I thought that post high shcool education was actually markedly cheaper in AK. And by the way, I'm not sure I want to date someone who says such things about ladies.
Do I sound bitter? Disenchanted? Unamused ?Maybe one more message will help you see my side?
"hi I'm Chris. how are you doing tonight beautiful? "
Hmmm. I'm not convinced.

O.k. so here comes the hopeful part. Let me pause here for a minute, to let you all know that I am approaching this endeavor with little hope for romance and more for the pure experience/experiment of dating Alaskan men. My name on ok cupid is: nutinsurius. I have explained on my profile that I am only in Anchorage for 6 weeks and am looking for entertainment more than anything. I also added the caveat that, that does not mean I am looking for anything strictly physical. These things must be said, as I am finding out, finally at age 30.

O.k. back to the good part, enter Mr. Defenestration. Which upon first reading the name, one can quickly conjure up unpleasant thoughts of, oh I don't know, castration? Festering? Not pretty things. This man however is quirky, smart, interesting, and self acclaimed "smokin hot". If you haven't already, look up the word, "defenestration".
Mr. Defenestration has grabbed my attention. He's an interested party, here is his first paragraph to me,
"You know, you think about what you think about. I get on that same ferris wheel. Like right now. I started out thinking about what it takes to impress a girl enough to get a response. Then I started thinking about how technically attraction is based on smell, so may be this site should allow people to extend their smell along with their face and thoughts. And then I think that is not what I should be thinking about while trying to impress this one girl."
O.k. before I go on, I have a feeling your questioning the ethics behind quoting what most people think is a private conversation. Well, that's just it, very little is private these days, plus, how else are you going to get a picture?
Mr. Defenestration then went on to explain why he doesn't have a photo on ok cupid, or even a single word written about himself on his profile. Apparently "he's kind of a big deal in Anchorage". This my friends may be exactly why I am intrigued.
More to come.
