Shan Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 What's the deal? It seems like almost every cool climbing girl has a climbing boyfriend to boot. I can't remember the last time I met a cool climber girl who you could strike up a friendly conversation with about anything, without 5.12, WI6, Grade VII dude coming by and ruining it. And when they are single, it lasts for about . . . that long. All I want to do is meet a cool, worldy, intellegent, hot girl who leads 5.11, hell even 5.8, and doesn't mind crashing in the back of the truck for a weekend at the crags or ice or whatever. Here's my stab at it. Quote

ashw_justin Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 They're rare, and they have all of the climbing guys they want to choose from. Climbing is a male-populated sport, deal with it. I'm sure there are lot of women who just want that one man who can be sensitive, in touch with his feelings, and able to read her thoughts at any given time, just like she can. Perhaps you should wonder not why women are not climbers, but instead why climbers are not women? Quote
Shan Posted January 20, 2006 Author Posted January 20, 2006 I just got on here so I don't have any pictures. Besides, I wouldn't want to scare anybody. Seriously though, you are right. Male dominated sports aren't the place to meet people. But I'm sensitive, I wear tight bouldering shoes and everything. I'm in touch with my feelings, I wimper and cry on runout slabs and I get really mad at my partners sometimes when they get off route. We should just have a huge campaign to get more women into climbing, then we would all be happy. Maybe girls might even have to fight over the available guys . . . now that's a concept. Quote
ashw_justin Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 Maybe girls might even have to fight over the available guys . . . now that's a concept. Suck it up and go to some weddings. Most women aren't interested in a man with actual dirtbag, minimalist, masochistic, caveman-fantasy rock climbing obsessions--just pretend ones that make him seem cool and manly, but don't actually distract him from domestic capacities. Bet you thought that "let's play house" shit was just pretend, dittn't cha? Quote

Shan Posted January 20, 2006 Author Posted January 20, 2006 Shan is probably single for a reason. yeah dude, I'm sure you have to beat them off with a stick Quote
Stemalot Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 ....a cool, worldy, intellegent, hot girl who leads 5.11, hell even 5.8, and doesn't mind crashing in the back of the truck for a weekend at the crags or ice or whatever. you are asking for way too much...not to mention women like that don't exist. So stop looking. Quote
Shan Posted January 20, 2006 Author Posted January 20, 2006 That movie Wedding Crashers was hilarious. Just kidding Dru, I'm sure you have a wonderful caring relationship with a rock star hotty. Quote
Distel32 Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 delete rock star hotty and insert one of the following: CP bob, aunt sheila, the local alpaca farm or barnhouselove.com worst troll ever Quote
layton Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 dude, stay away. climbing girls are just as fucked up as climbing guys. imagine dating a male version of you. also, imagine screaming at your girlfriend cuz she's taking way to fucking long to lead/follow a pitch. that's a good time. i've only known one cool climbing chick in my whole life. give up. don't do it. find some girl that's mildly interesting in rock climbing, and train her to like cragging. that way you can go alpine climbing with your bro's, and on penalty days, you still get to go climbing, and who cares how good she climbs as long as she "just likes getting out" and can belay you. boy am i gonna get nailed for this post.

Very important for making other dudes at the crag wish that they had a climber chick like you do; then you can make them feel even more shitty by talking about how you send 5.12, WI6, Grade VII, etc. Quote
layton Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 ashw_justing's post, when combined with mine, is the SECRET recipie for making guys like you feel like shit at the crag with your stupid male friends. haha! Quote
minx Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 this is the funniest shit posted in ages. now would one of you boys teach me how to use a gri gri so i can drink beer while i belay? Quote
Figger_Eight Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 No shit. It's easier trying to teach the non-climber hottie to belay than it is to score with a hot climber chick Okay...no one tell my girlfriend I said that Quote
jstone Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 IF you need to drink, tie them off to a tree, just remember to come back and get them the next day. Quote
fenderfour Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 Come on fellas, there are more difficult birds to hunt. Try finding a cute, available rugby chick (with all of her teeth). Quote
olyclimber Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 I thought that teeth were something that you want to stay away from? Quote
montanapup Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 No shit. It's easier trying to teach the non-climber hottie to belay than it is to score with a hot climber chick Okay...no one tell my girlfriend I said that I'm going to tell your girrrrlfriend! I'm going to tell your girrrlfriend! Quote
JosephH Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 Yep, if they're already a climber then they've already put up with endless rounds of your sh#t from someone else. It's a lot easier to go back out to the "world" and reel in one fresh to climbing. Mike's advice isn't bad either. My wife is a great climber, did a couple of years of it getting to where she could lead .10's before getting attached to Astanga yoga and while we rarely climb together she totally understands me needing to do it. So now it's not a problem for me to climb and hell, after 8 years of Astanga she'd kick my ass if she started back up so it's ok if she just stays home and thinks I'm the burly one... Quote
fenderfour Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 I've tried the "teach them to climb" trick. It's not much fun. Sometimes you have to tell a new climber to quit whining and just f_cking go. It's not a good idea to do that to a girl you are dating. Quote
lI1|1! Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 she totally understands me needing to do it. this, btw, is what i'd settle for. Quote
