Well, if you show up at any climbing destination you’ll find people who love to climb and many of them will be on the road a lot of the time. It also happens to be about 90% male. Show up and the odds will be in your favor

I think I'm ideal as a man and a climbing bf. How shall i quantify myself? I am patient, considerate, and not at all concerned if the gf climbs harder than me. What else is required? I will even put up with multiple shitty crag dogs if I need to, although I hate shitty crag dogs. Why do all the interesting ladies have so many horrible dogs? What more does a guy have to offer to be a good climbing bf? LOL. This should be fun.

OP joined MP today. Definitely sincere.

I’m sincere. :)

When I go on Tinder and Bumble I will only have climbing photos and explicitly say I want a climbing man. Yet 99% of the time I get muggles.

After a while hikers start to look like climbers.

Someone just mentioned muggles in another thread….coincidence? I think not.

It’s a poor business model for them to actually get people into LTRs.

I don’t doubt that you’re sincerely looking. Why don’t you turn this post into a personal ad. Post up your general location and what you’re looking for. People can PM you and you can reply to the ones that sound interesting. Those that don’t appeal will never even know your name.

Make a tinder account with your only photo being those dual black totems in your mp profile photo, and you’ll have plenty of dudes lining up at the door.

Climbers in general are a selfish breed, always thinking about where they want want to go and what they want to climb, the "men" particularly so. They also usually lack the funds to properly maintain a relationship which leads to feelings of bitterness to their "fairer" partner. In addition most dirtbags lack the maturity to even successfully satisfy their most carnal needs.

Thus, what you really want is a hiker you can convert to a climber. Take them for a test drive in the gym or on rock, if they can handle a few pointers and direction from the female POV without outward displays of reactionist machismo you could have a catch on your hands.

Make no mistake, creating a climber is hard work, especially in today's hyper masculine proud boys environment, but no one is better equipped than the modern woman.

Godspeed.

Well, you can find a good man, you can find a good climber, but I dunno if you can find a good climbing man.

If you are indeed female, all you have to do is express interest in climbing and be average looking. Meet at the crag, climbing gym, internet.

Jim walks in and says, all nonchalant, "date a boomer."
