Where have all the cool chicks gone?

Guys have asked me this before. Where are the cool chicks? You know, the ones who are just... cool? The elusive low-maintenance-but-not-butch girls that guys supposedly find attractive?

Having spent a weekend with some VERY cool chicks, I can tell you where at least a small pack of them can be found: Teaching in the Alaskan Bush.

The kind of girls that cut their own hair but still shave their legs.

The kind of girls that browse both Pier 1 Imports and Sportsmen's Warehouse.

The kind of girls who land a silver salmon, gut it, filet it (OK, maybe not happily or skillfully, but it's part of catching the fish), then go home, wash up, and give their hair a hot oil treatment.

The kind of girls who can carry on equally competent conversations about both national affairs and the merits of lining your honey bucket with a plastic bag.

Dude, we rock.

How true! I have met many climber boys who say they want to date a "cool climber chick", but then they end up dating some high-maintenance, mall-loving, girly chick.

Go figure.

So, while you're there in the big city, will you send some of those guys our way?

That'd be great.

Thanks.

don't forget the ablity to wear the same outfit for days while sleeping on the floor while keeping a fairly good attitude the whole time.

or

the need and ability to make snow pants seem stylish.
