AlaskaMen: datingbureau for kvinder

The article is about a woman named [NAVN A] who, besides being a child-minder, has a dating agency, AlaskaMen.

It started in 1987, about seventeen years ago. She was joking about starting a business where she would, instead of selling used cars, sell “used” husbands.

At one time the circulation was 70.000 issues. Susie’s goal was 200.000, but the use of the internet was so rapidly increasing that her homepage had half a million visitors in a month. So instead of publishing the magazine every quarter, she sends out an annual book with all the men.

She tells that the men put honesty and loyalty higher than a beautiful appearance. They say that if they got a really beautiful woman, they would fear that their friends would try to steal her.

In the 50 states of the U.S., there are only two states were there are more men than women. That is in Nevada and Alaska.

Susie tells that when she started in 1987, there were eight men for each woman. Now, there are seven men for each five women.

Every Sunday you can, in the Anchorage Daily News, read an advert like this: “Woman needed!! Single white man in his late 40s with thirty sledge dogs, is looking for a single white woman to warm up the hut and assist with the pack.”
