i’m 19 years old and i’ve never had a serious girlfriend because all of the girls i’ve been with have never had the same interests as me and i was fine with that, up till now, because i find that i want to be in a relationship with someone but i know i wont really be able get along with them unless we can agree on some key points. for the past year i’ve been saving so that i can buy some cheap land and build a small house there and live off the grid money wise. i still plan on going into a city or town almost everyday. but my problem is that i’m beginning to wonder if any women will ever want to date me because of the way i want to live my life. i’m not saying all girls are materialistic it’s just that i’ve never had the luck or pleasure to meet one that wasn’t. the girls i’ve been with( which okay, isn’t the biggest number) all would never have dated or been in a serious relationship with anybody who would live the way i want to live. and by that i mean using things like solar and wind power for electricity and rain barrels and wells for water, and growing my own food. you know, green living. i mean i know that there are girls out there who like living like this from watching videos on youtube from people like GREENPOWERSCIENCE, solarcabin, and london1817 and many others who all have girlfriends/wives who love living like that. so i was wondering if you all could help me out(especially all you women out there) by telling me where i can meet girls who like living green/off the grid. thanks for any help.
I think your best bet is to join communities, either physical or online, where the focus is on the type of movement you are interested in. Check out local community boards to see what your town offers. Just develop friendships and focus on networking with others who have similar interests.
Another solution is to meet girls who are concerned about the environment, even if they are not entirely interested in living off the grid like you do. Give them time to get used to your ideas and ideal lifestyle, and if one of them respects your views, the two of you will figure out a way to make it work. She might also grow to want the same lifestyle once she’s had more experience with it.
Just remember that you are still young, and have plenty of time to meet a wife, especially if you haven’t gone to college yet.

This is the only site I could find that was completely free: http://www.green-passions.com/
Try there or look in your local community for green community events. Also make friends with women. They will introduce you to their friends if they know you’re not just out to get laid or sometimes even you are. Women friends hook sh!t up, or at least that’s been my experience in the past.
