I've read a lot of forums talking about how some people find it a necessity to date a climber, I'd absolutely love to have a climber for a date, but girls, where are you? Everytime I go to say Smith Rock, I see a lot of girls, but every one of them is tied to a rope that is attached to some other guy. Help!!!

See if you can get the webmasters here to add a Pesonals section to the site. I bet it would do some brisk business!

To Yvette and Chuck,
Combine your ideas. You do realize that you just came up with a very, very marketable idea, don't you? Seriously. I used to work for a marketing firm.
Money to be made in something like that. People are always looking for other with similar outdoor interests, or someone willing to seek adventure.
It isn't original, but there are no "Adventure Dating" (dating always is ) services out there, outside of those that plan "excursions". Not actual dating services that I know of.
Go on guys, market it. You'd probably be able to quit your jobs in two years and retire. Seriously!
Steve
P.S. Do me one thing, give me a small percentage for "planting the seed" by letting me write all your brochures, etc (I'm a writer).

If you're climbing up a beautiful route, and you're nearing it's topout, and you see a wonderfully pretty young women (even more beautiful than the climb you're on) doing pull-ups on the last two hand holds of the route next to you, just to get rid of her excess energy before she makes the send... There's your woman!

My ex-girlfriend was the perfect climbing partner. She was always enjoyable to climb with and it's the reason I still climb with her even though we're recently broken up and things are a little awkward right now. She's always inspired me with her climbing and motivated me to do my best. It's an amazing thing to share something like climbing with someone you love.

Well I think I would have to find a way to get back together with her "fiend!" She sounds like a good girlfriend! The dating service sounds like a winner though!

Yeah, fiend,
Trust me, you got lucky. I've seen relationships get in the way TOO many times. However, I see them work just fine as well. I would just never date someone that climbs. Climbing is for me and I wouldn't risk screwing that up with the possibility of a "pissing match" with my significant other. No thanks. That is just me, though. Besides, people tend to forget, and mtngeo will agree with me on this one, that we have to have our space and we have to have something that is just ours. We can't share 100% of the same interests with our SO's. It is unhealthy for the relationship not to have something of our own (any Psych would agree with that). So, that is my world. Climbing. No one is allowed in completely, and certainly not my wife! She agrees. She expresses some curiosity, and maybe some day I will taker her. However, this is my special thing, my world. No one has to do it the Steve Way! (a little PTPP for you)
Steve

Yeah I can see how a lot of relationships wouldn't work out with climbing. Just wanted to share my positive experience though

yeah, i think there's a thread somewhere already about relationships and climbing, but this is community so what the hay...
we recently hit a couple bumps in the relationship from being partners, and climbing partners. we're both kinda loners so you hit a spot of always always always being with the person. so in the best interests of our relationship, we're both trying to get other climbing partners, just so we're not dependant on one another for climbing. if your only climbing partner cancels, it interferes with your climbing, and therefore could cause some resentment, and affect the relationship in other ways. gotta watch for that one.

A good friend of mine and I went to the PBC earlier this year and while there were a lot of females there…there was a distinct difference in the climberchicks…and the climbergroupies…most notably in dress and body language.
We got a good laugh out of it at any rate.

Tell you what Wildtrail I dated lots that did not climb and boy it was kind of lame because I was always climbing and they could'nt understand why I wanted to go so much. Ended up having a few failed relationship becuase of it. I guess it just works for me because my SO wants to climb and be with me when I go.
Plus I really enjoy climbing with her.
Try the web personals.
It worked for me. I found my fiance on the LDS personals site. She climbs and she is a hottie! It worked so good that I am gonna marry her.
At first I was skeptical about internet dating. But you really can find out a lot about a person first before dating them on there. Plus you can make some good friends as well. I don't drink anymore so going to the clubs to find women was lame. Besides what kind of a climber chic hangs out at bars.
Yeah you can go to the gym but there is slim pickins there.
So the internet is the best solution. Safe and you don't have to blow a bunch of cash.
Just go for it. There are more out there than you think.
Good luck!
