Please help me find her . . . is she real?

A strong independent woman climber interested in climbing and hanging out with sixty year old me, now that would be truly outstanding! Thinking about El Portrero Chico in January or February. |

I would suggest, like the rest of MP appears to do, every time a woman posts a partner request, jump on it. But make sure not to sound like you are fishing for her, or else she will just take one of the hundred other baits that appears less likely to contain a hook. |

Yeah, my inbox has been stuffed since posting here. I took myself out of the partner finder, it was too overwhelming! I think I've found a good/decent crew to climb with. Good luck to you sir! |

Using MP in this way in like using one of those 'adult partner' personal sites: men outnumber women 10 to 1. Girls like Red can can winnow down the applicants however she chooses and even then she'll have more partner offers than she can shake a stick at. Its like trying to find a girl who is serious about climbing who doesn't have a boyfriend - they simply don't exist. One guy once put it to me this way: if she climbs 5.8 there is a 70% chance she has a boyfriend, 5.9 = 80%, 5.10 = 90%, and 5.11 = 100%. And you can bet her boyfriend climbs harder than you. You'll have better luck cruising the bars and then teaching them to climb. |

I think it depends on the kind of bait the fish are after that day. That being said the older I get the uglier I get so fishing gets harder with age. MP should encourage male belayers to practice safe climbing and always carry condoms. That way they are always ready for action should luck come their way. |

If you don't mind that the woman uses the half plus 7 rule on you, you could date a 108 year old. So your new range is actually 37-1/2 to 108, thus increasing your odds significantly. lura.net/03/romance/ |

I wonder if they start losing boyfriends because they're to intimidated to climb with them? Except in Boulder ,of course |

find someone you like....climbing or no climbing. if they are adventurous teach them to climb. show them a world maybe they didnt know they were capable of, if they like it great if not then you still found a great person. |

Except in Boulder ,of courseAs I see it, I have formulated a check-list for my next "intimate relationship" 1. Intelligent 2. Attractive 3. Climbs harder than I do As far as I see it, there is no better motivation! Good luck finding someone that meets your expectations, Richard! As far as I'm concerned, all my relationships have diverted me from climbing which, I will admit, is sometimes worth the compromise. Oh, and this couldn't go without notice. Damn this young, male mind of mine! John J. Glime wrote: And by inbox, you mean email? |

So, I started this thread five days ago, and waited for responses. Until 14-hours ago, zip, zilch, zero posts in reply; then, the floodgates appear to have opened. Responses varying from heart felt advice to ROFL humor. All greatly appreciated. Wondering now just how far this thread will go, will it help me find her? |

It's not their fault for not being interested in you, it's your fault for not being the big 3, Funny, Good Job and wicked in the sack....oh yeah, what Mike Larson said as well. |

Had to share an excerpt from an article that may help. It was written specifically about Boulderites but could apply to any athletic social circle. |
