After years of climbing I have finally found my favorite pants that i can wear all the time, at the crag, on a wall, on a date, but im wondering if there is something with a similar fit as the Patagonia rps rock pants?

A friend bought me a pair of these and they should fit your criteria. Maybe not so much on a wall, but definately the crag and a date. Very nice construction and the pocket is solid. Not sure how they compare to the rps.

BD Alpine Light Pants.  My biggest gripe with the RPS is how little they stretch.  Very restrictive with high stepping.  The BD Alpine Light Pants are more breathable and much more stretchy but still fall into the "do all" category.

Nothing like finding out $24 pants are just as good as the $70 I have been buying the last few years. Just a tad thicker than stretch zion pants but would good in the cooler weather.

Another pair of those ~$70 pants are OR Ferrosi Pants. Mega stretchy. I had mine for two years with minimal wear until I really fuzzed them up in a field of thornbushes...

I think those shouldn't be worn on dates if you're interested in actually getting to know your date. It would just be one shallow hookup after another.
