4,000 men and no one offered to buy me a drink

When I stayed at NANA camp, there were dozens of men living there and a very few women. It didn't take me long to learn that the attitude of the men toward the woman was complete disinterest. Prudhoe Bay is dry, that is no alcohol allowed. I managed to get to know and chat with some men who did nearly daily flights to count whales, but by normal measure, the chats were ice cold.

I talked with other women at Prudhoe Bay about this and found that almost without exception, relationships between men and women at Prudhoe Bay are strickly business. Everyone seems to leave his/her social life down in Anchorage or Fairbanks.

SO it wasn't my lack of good looks that caused me to be without male company at Prudhoe Bay. No one bought me a drink because 1. there are no drinks to buy and 2. each had his mind on the work. I guess that I felt better knowing that.
