 Nascar has magazines?
  Damnit, I need to get out more.....

To be honest, if anyone called me a slut, I'd expect the SO to wait for me to hit the SOB myself. It's my reputation, so it's my decision and my consequences.

Lending me bail money afterwards would be a nice touch.

LOL This is exactly what I was thinking!
(I just found ths thread. Don't get around to checking this board much.)

I love it!  I only just found this thread now myself.  Thanks for the chuckles!

Oh, and welcome to TCF, lindac15!

Actually, I'm member #386, so I've been around for a while. (But thanks for the welcome anyway!) I just don't get over here to check this board as much as I might like to & I don't post often. I'm more of an egroup person. ;-)

I'm surprised that there isn't a more active libertarian singles group here... or much of anywhere. (The FSP had an active egroup at one time, but I don't know if it's still active.) Maybe we can encourage a singles meet-up as part of the Montana (& other?) meet-ups. LOL

Well, whadaya know.  Indeed you are.  My bad. 

Consider it a MUCH-belated welcome, then.  (Or, since I'm member #500, maybe it was a retroactive welcome.    )

Who says that hasn't already been happening? 

You mean to tell me there's another reason to meet with and talk to a group of hard headed independently thinking folks ?

Man, I have got to pay closer attention here.

Well everyone at the first Tucson meetup was unmarried and only one of us had a significant other at the time.  Then in Montana, two of the three people who "went for a hike" were single, and as we all know if we've been reading Ted Nielsen's posts, going for a hike is a secret code for going on a date.

It is? Is that only true among people here, or does that apply to the general public?

It seems I may have unintentionally insulted somebody.  :-(

Really? I had not heard that one before. Not what I personally would consider a date, especially with a 3rd person involved. In fact, I don't consider most things to be 'dates' unless specifically invited in that regard. I would especially not consider an activity by participants at a group meet-up to be a 'date' - unless an individual made it very very clear that he was inviting me to do something in that regard; my default assumption would be that the person is just being friendly.
Ted N. seems to have a unique perspective on dating. LOL

I've always had friends who are men & we've done many things together - as friends. I generally assume that any activity is done with friends or acquaintances.... unless the other person has made it very clear that he wants it to be something more & we have had some kind of discussion to that effect. (It's called 'communication' - rather than making unwarranted assumptions or guesses based on too little info.) And anyway, the best relationships (imo) start out as friendships first, so as to get to know the other person (at least for a little while).

I have always thought that that was what dating was. "get[ing] to know the other person"

You mean I should have been asking the ladies to go for a hike ?
Drat I knew I was doing something wrong ...

I guess there are people who prefer to make dates with unknown people based solely on visual 1st impressions. I tend to prefer to talk with someone & get to know him a bit 1st. ;-) When it comes to dating, quantity does not interest me; quality does. Actually, casual dating with relative strangers holds little interest for me, as I have plenty of other things to do with my time. I prefer to wait for the kind of person that I could potentially have a relationship with - or at least someone whose company I'm pretty sure I will enjoy. If you do things together on just a friendly basis first & get to know the person, then it's easier to tell. And you have not precluded the possibility of friendship with someone because you tried dating first & it didn't work out.

It also does not take advantage of a guy's tendency to pay for evertything on a date.... vs paying for oneself when you are doing things on just a friendly basis. I always figured that, if one wants to be treated as an equal, one must act like an equal - rather than someone merely looking for a 'provider'. (I doubt that someone like John Ross would like me - which is fine by me, as I doubt that I would like him based on those essays he's written. I'm not into those kinds of games. Better to find something like that out before dating someone, don't you think?-)

Indeed. {given that your use of the word "dating" intimates intimacy.}

There was a "Period" in my life when quantity was more important than quality.

Living in smaller towns and/or the country also reduces the available "pool" of interesting "opposites".
