Alex Quote On How He Picks His Girlfriends
“I don’t go for really dressy women. My family has a small cottage in the middle of nowhere in Sweden, it has no phone, TV or even shower – you have to swim in the lake to wash. I love it. Taking a girl there is a good indicator of whether she’s right for me.” TRUE BLOOD star ALEXANDER SKARSGARD on how he chooses his girlfriends.

Well, that eliminates most of the chicks he’s gonna meet in Holly-weird, ah?
How about an artist of some kind?
Maybe a sculptress or a textile artist or painter?
Or a teacher or a realtor….or a….well, anyone who doesn’t have a publicist.
Not too many actresses are gonna be down with the big family thing either.
Or the no hot and cold running evian at the cabin.
*and yes, I went to an art college, so sue me
I’m a textile artist. I have bathed a lake and a river instead of a shower. I like less civilization because it is better for my skin type. I like lots of people, i.e. big families, because I like being humorous and inclusive. I like culture, travel, roughing it (or not), making things form scratch with my hands, and learning. Does that any of that make me a worthy candidate for “The Bachelor: A. Skarsgård Edition”? Scandinavian cultures have wonderful textile histories.
@ Corvi Art college grads unite! What kind of art kid are you? I’m in textiles and I dabble in ceramics, glass, and metals. My bestie from college is an animator and she’s a Lafayette-girl, oh the TB love!
Sorry mate, but I need hot baths and a hair dryer. You and I are OVER!
Nah, I’m kidding. I’m up for anything. I need a razor though. Not leaving home without a razor!
I’m currently a student at the Edinburgh College of Art. Messy business. No time for dress up.
Middle of nowhere… no phone or no tv. Means plenty of alone time. I like that! Swimiming in the lake to bath, done that before.
Updated Passport ….. check. Toothbrush …. check.
When do we leave? I can be at the overseas terminal at the Philly airport in 30 minutes.
Well, I’m not one who does the crush on celebrities thing…..ever, but damn if he doesn’t sound like someone I’d really get along with. Sucks we’ll never meet. Oh well………whoever lands this guy will be one very lucky lady indeed. I love being off the grid like he describes here.
I’m up to all that. For real. No phone? YIPEE. No TV? Hooray. No hot baths? Can live with it for a while.
Now the big question is.
*bats eyelashes*
What about internet? Since its sweden I bet there’s wifi ANYWHERE *snort*
You can take anything from a girl, but do NOT touch her internet!
Anyway, I guess some men think that way. My boyfriend used a trip he made as an experiment on which girl he really liked more. *grins* I won! *cuddles axe*
Oh wow….it sounds idyllic….
No phone, no people, no distractions, Alexander Skarsgard….sounds like a slice of heaven to me.
*dreams of Alex wading out of a lake with nothing on……mmmmmmmm*
Oh, the thoughts….. *drools* Bring on lthe lake. I’m in.
EPIPHANY!! The Bachelor meets Survivor in this first ever reality tv show shot in the Swedish wilderness–it’s… Bachelorvivor!!! Watch as women compete for Alexander’s affections and raised eyebrow!
Somebody produce that shit! Sadly, I won’t be competing (I know what Otoyo’s ‘one item’ would be).
Ooohh… I’m not the one for him… Oh well, I already knew that anyway…
he doesn’t like dressy women? that’s wonderful news. my definition of dressy involves jeans that are clean (don’t judge me) and chuck taylors with pin-stripes. and i spent a few weeks in maine a few years ago, in a tent. we only had a lake to bathe in, but we weren’t able to use any soap or shampoo or whatever because of the wildlife that lived in the lake (or something like that). although, we did have an outhouse.
i can’t swim though. you think AS could teach me? or would he have to charge?
Well this means me and Alex have no chances anymore…
*cries*
I’m a kind of “Carrie Bradshaw”, you know? City girl, love fasion and shopping, love walking in the middle of huge buildings… Screaming when i see a squirrel, wearing high heals when i’m on a dirt road… Having sex with a young farmer in the barn… *Wait a minute* *waggle eyebrow at Samantha*
Soooooo…. It’s over Alex. But you don’t know what you missed with fashion-city girls, dear Alex… They can be very clever, sexy, funny, refined, cultivated and smart! Anyway… Ciao baby!
Is there a proper loo? I can forgo pretty much everything except a proper loo.
As for dressed up, dressed down, hell if I’m in a remote cottage with AS, ain’t no dressing at all!
Can you go fishing in the lake? that would make it perfect.
Not a bad way to choose the right girl for him…no comfort,no shallow things and out off the world in the middle of a wonderful country full of mountains,lakes and rivers and with the sole company of one of the sexiest men of the planet with plenty of time to do everything and anything….what more would someone want??…I would go for that even though cold water is not my thing at all and I need some warm or hot one at some point…but,wait,I would already have it…6,4” of a funny,smart,tender and great men called AS….
I should invite Alex up to my family cottage in the 1000 Islands this summer. Yes we have running water. BUT we also have a Party Barge and a Kegorator! I mean come on who can say no to fishing, bonfires, and drinking?
I will even share my tent with Alex and The Plumber..*gulp* Oh my suddenly my mind went blank, now that is quite the idea! I am a freaking genius!
He and I probably wouldn’t get along anyway. I annoy my husband on a pretty daily basis. I have to have hot water. I have to have a toilet that flushes and I have to have internet. I could forgo all the other crap though. I never have been a girly girl. I do not like to do dresses and heels.
For that matter, I can’t go without TV since Lost is on tonight.
Lil, I’ll come if Alex won’t. That sounds fun!
Yeah, um, I already knew that I had zero chance with Alex but this just confirms it. No shower probably means no indoor plumbing. I have an aversion to outhouses as a result of a very unfortunate childhood accident. Remember that little boy from Schindler’s list? Yeah. Also, I’m not big on the public nudity. So the thought of washing in the lake in front of a bunch of people would send me to the looney bin. Not even naked Alex could tempt me to do that. Still, I think it’s sweet that he has these preferences. He’s not pretentious and he’s trying to find a partner that is as comfortable in her skin as he is in his. Good luck, Alex! Don’t give up.
Alexander, secluded house, naked….I’m there!!!
Sounds like Alex is into womurrrn truck drivers. Oh well…I need a proper poo vessel but I could manage…and if Alex doesn’t mind a little underarm “hamster” action and not being able to run his hands through my hair because of the frizz and knots, then we have a deal.
Woot! Large natural breasts…check. Ability to enjoy nature (i.e. pee in the woods) check. I am still in the running – Lucky Me! But….how does he feel about kids and family? I know he comes from a large one; does that mean he wants lots of kids or is he happy to let other members of his family continue the blood line?
I think I can work with this. There’s a place for my shoes and a coffeemaker, right?
@lillyhunter He’s stated on numerous occasions that he wants a family when he finds the right woman.
Well, I’m not particularly dressy. Don’t get me wrong. I like to look nice and dress up at times, but I also enjoy dressing down, not wearing makeup, and exploring the outdoors. I come from a very outdoorsy, sports-minded family. I’ve never really been camping, though. I’m a teacher, I love kids, and my family means everything to me, so I guess I fit that bill
How romantic would it be to be at that cottage with him, with no phone, t.v., or modern conveniences? Just the two of us (and maybe 100 Skarsgards
) I could bathe in a lake (preferably with him-very romantic), but I would need to have some sort of a toilet. Lack of a proper toilet would kill the romance good and fast I think. With that said, a trip like that would be the perfect way to find out whether or not you’re really meant to be with someone. You’d really get to see the true person, with all of that other stuff stripped away. Just the two of you would either equal bliss, or piss and that would seal the deal. Now, in fantasy land, I imagine him, at the end of the weekend, getting down on one knee (beside the lake) and proposing (to me 
). Now, that would be romantic! A guy proposing to you at his family’s cottage, at the end of a weekend like that? WOW!! Someday 
So…where do I sign up for this? Sounds pretty much perfect.
@ Administrator; thank you for the information. I am a recent convert to Alex’s world so any knowledge is appreciate!
@lillyhunter Welcome! Explore all the ins and outs of this site, especially all things under the Alexander section in the drop down menu.
I’m a self taught graphite/charcoal artist does that count? If I had had the money to go to college I also wanted to be a teacher (either an art teacher or elementary/early childhood educator). I’m still considering both of those options, even though when I went to tour one of the colleges in my area they said I wouldn’t be an average student because of my age? I’m only 26 but I guess most people start college as soon as they leave high school.
As for the family part I’ve always wanted a minimum of four kids and a big close family since mine is very dysfunctional and I don’t even know many of my relatives. Both my parents tend to be the black sheep in the family and my dad hates family get togethers.
I wouldn’t consider myself dressy either. I can easily go without makeup, and I wear blue jeans on a regular basis. I like to dress up occasionally for special occasions or when it’s called for but I’ve never been in to the designer name clothes and accessories. For the most part I think diamonds are a waste of money, I’m just as happy with cubic zirconia. There’s only one type of jewels that I really love and they can’t be bought in any store.
As for that cottage, sounds like heaven to me. *Pictures being in a little cottage in a remote location out in the country with no modern gadgets as a means of distraction. Showering and bathing in a nearby lake with that sweet sexy man.* Actually, I’ve always wondered what it would be like to live in a different era. Sometime far in the past before the invention of all the modern things we know today. I wonder if it has a nice cozy fireplace to cuddle up in front of? I’d love that. I could bring some paper and charcoal and draw him the same way Jack drew Rose in Titanic. “Alex: I believe you are blushing, Miss. Big Artiste. I can’t imagine Monsieur Monet blushing.” “Me: He does landscapes and I much prefer (manscapes). ”
*Imagines him running around in the buff all day while I try and draw him* I’ve always thought the male body is the most beautiful work of art there is. 
Hey Franska, mostly cast or cold worked metal (art jewelry), glass (lampwork/stained) and
bunch of traditional fiber arts.
And according to my specifications there are a bunch of likely candidates here.
Now we just need to narrow it down to those with “child bearing hips”.
hehe
Well Debz that mean it would have to be a plumber sandwich instead of a Lil Sandwich! hehehehehe (you know in the tent
)
I’d bathe in a swamp for Alexander Skarsgard…
