How about we meet Sevs mom at Bats house and have us a good Ol' time.

A beanie is certainly easier to acquire than tact. And being a girl, who can appreciate a tactful man with or without a beanie, I certainly consider you a more desirable rock climber. There’s just one thing I don’t understand: what kind of “a good Ol’ time” would I be having with you, Bats, and sev’s mom? That sounds a bit too kinky for my taste. I think you might be getting overly (although possibly not unnecessarily) ambitious there. Wink


I figure Sev's the kind of jackass only a mother could love so, if her "affections" were directed else where he might cry. Thats really what I was shooting for...man tears.

Oh and whats with the beanie fetish? I thought you figured out you dont like bouldering. Of course they do have those compactly muscled bodies which are, more often than not, sweaty and shirtless.

Much like this beastly devil


Perhaps we could swap him for Sev's mom?

I would love to elaborate, but it would be quite out of place.

Beanies? I just have a certain respect for people, who have no problem making fools of themselves. And I apologize for my misunderstanding your comment. Re the "beastly devil" swap... not a bad idea.

Sigh. Maybe I've overestimated you, dumbsocrates.

edit: this is completely unrelated, but do you read language log?

chicks dig climber guys who ride motorcycles. the combination invokes a stronger attraction reaction than being a climber or rider alone. personally, i ride a nighttrain. chicks love harleys.

I'm going to have to semi back this up. I ride more vintage bikes from the late 70's and early 80's, mostly japanese, and between that, rock climbing, mountain biking, and a decent education I got my self a lady who dances, is getting a degree in Civil Engineering, and cooks like a fiend!

As to your harley (definately a solid ride).. only cool if you bother to WAVE!

Ride safe! ATGATT!



There is one problem with a motorcycle, that is the whole driving your date anywhere... ya.. you need a Ural..

Not to interrupt, but to summarize for everyone who doesn't take interest in communication studies and haven't read the likes of Mcluhan, Pinker, or LeBon, (I can name drop too), Sev is what is commonly known as a ARTSY.. and a hard core one at that.
There, now we can all get on with this wonderfully ridiculous thread..

Try not to laugh at me too hard but the following
senerio has happened to me at least three times...

I was walking up the trail to the first flatiron
when I crossed paths with the most incredible
blond swiss goddess you could imagine. We
talked a bit and she was interested in climbing.

She says "I suuuure would like someone to teach
me how"...I responded in the almost exact way Jim Carry did in the movie dumb and dumber with the swedish sunbathing team that needed some "oil boys" and said

"Duhh...I dunno but I'm sure der is lotsa climbers
in town (pointing at boulder) dat could teach you how"

What is "a ARTSY"? Is that an acronym? No offense, but you're no better than Bats at communicating on the information super highway. Looks like name dropping doesn't help in that department.

Try to find one that likes to do the same climbs over and over again.

Hey now, its not that I ever forget. Its just that that giant, ugly, cold, unforgiving bit of stone is more important to me.

cool. my original message was to a climber asking why girls weren't impressed when he told them he was a climber. During my days of trying to impress I felt my abilities as a once hard climber would impress ANY woman much to my dismay. Wit and charm OR money depending on where you live will do much better with gaining the interests of a woman.

I compleatly agree with everything you said. I really only date climbers and I can't see myself with a guy who doesn't climb. I don't drool over 5.12 climbers at all, it's just that I climb pretty much every day I'm not at work. And since I'm a teacher, I have a lot of days off. Everything someone said about how climbers only climb and never have time for their significant others -- well, that applies to climber girls as well!! If I dated a guy who didn't climb, we would never see each other and the relationship would fizzle quickly. I don't date climbers because they're badass. I date climbers because there is nothing better than spending the day doing your favorite thing to do with your favorite person.

If someone told me they rode a crotch rocket, I'd move on and look for a guy with nice calloused hands and dirty finger nails -- cause that's the guy who's going to want to spend the summer going on a climbing road trip with me living out of camp grounds taking showers as we find them (or not!)

If you got into climbing as a means to meet girls -- you're in the wrong sport. But if you truely love climbing, find a girl who feels the same way, and you'll be golden. Of course you outnumber us, so you'll probably have to be a decent person as well as a climber to snag a climber chick! ;)
