OT: How to meet girls who like guns?

[JJNA]

Malamute:

Would you believe that during my summer trip to Jerusalem, I actually saw someone walking an Alaskan Malamute? A happy looking beast too. Must've been hot, though, because I was and I don't carry 25 pounds of white fur!

Not to tease, but I have many photographs of IDF women group meets (aka bus stops in Jerusalem), but I won't share since I do not have their permission to do so!

Something interesting I noticed about young IDF conscripts (men AND women): they look like a bunch of children! They ARE a bunch of children! When I was at the Wailing Wall and saw the swearing in ceremony, it looked like the plaza was full of little teenagers, all with M16's (a few with M4's). Hundreds of them.

I often heard that when the South Africans adopted the Galil for their service, they had to lengthen the stock. I thought, gee, are Afrikaaners that big? I found the answer when I saw the IDF soldiers. They're short!

LOL - apparantly Tampa is a pretty good place. I spoke with two girls in as many nights, who brought the subject up! Not only did they bring it up, but they spoke favorably on the subject!

I'll have to admit this is the exception, rather than the rule. But I'll digress...here are the details.

My wife doesn't like guns. But, my sons and daughter all shoot. So we have her surrounded, she has no choice but to surrender.

To land the catch of your dreams, be sure you're the best (and most tempting) bait in the area! Hon, from just the one trip Susan and I made to K2 a little while back, either of us could've ended up with dates - and those were straight girls who were delighted to run into someone who wasn't overbearing and who had a sense of humor!



Okay, okay - so I recruit (I'm after the lavender C6 supercharged Corvette - I have the equivalent of a pallet-load of toaster ovens. . .)!



The point is simple: stop trying so hard! I don't know you, and I'm not trying to get sarcastic, but guys on the hunt can be spotted at 250 yards in fog! Really! It's as if you radiate some sort of 'desperation' pheremone or something. If someone catches your eye, don't give her an eye bath, yes? Talking to her pierced belly-button (or tongue stud) while involuntarily wiping sweaty palms on your pants probably aren't good mannerisms. . .





Keep the faith. Relax! And have fun! Life is too short to stay all stressed out.

I'm not Jewish, but if I were, given your ancestors' history of persecution, I'd have an arsenal.

I showed my girlfriend my Colt 6920 and explained what would have been prohibited under the AWB and why. Without any prompting, she said it was "such a stupid law." Happiness is a logical, educated woman who's very easy on the eyes.

My daughter is a vegetarian, she lives with her BF in Phoenix. He, is Mom, Dad and sister all have carry permits. My wife asked him hiw many guns he had and he said he and his dad have 60-70. They took us shooting in the desert one day and we had a blast (no pun) even my wife who had never shot a gun before. So now I'm getting into it.

I think guns are cheaper than women - at least the upkeep is. After the initial investment all they need are ammo for the most part. Think about how much you spend on a woman...gifts, movies, dinner, various dates, etc. Yeah, I've definitely spent more on women than guns. Thing is, the guns are still around long after the women have left.

That said, there's definitely a shortage of good, gun-lovin' women.

I'm a woman living (and brought up) near SF and I like guns. I know of at least three single women that go to Berkeley and that like guns. One is in the law school. I know there are more in the area because I see them at the range.

I had to learn before I liked guns. A friend took me to the range and showed me. Then, my husband decided he liked AR-15's right before the ban. That was pretty much it for us.

Anyway, there's plenty of hope but maybe a bit of education necessary.

Guess i am lucky, my girlfriend grew up in China and immagrated here when she was 16, so she wasnt in on this whole mass hysteria thing when it pertains to guns. She was actually rather neutral. Niether for nor against. So i bought her her own little ear protection and safety glasses and took her to the range and she she was apprehensive at 1st but then when she got to shoot a few rounds off she really liked it. It doesnt mean she turned into a gun collector and goes shooting with me all the time, in fact she doesnt usually go with me, but she understands that we only get 1 shot at life and understands and accepts that I keep a gun in the nightstand near the bed and i carry when we go out on the weekends. In fact she rather appreciates the gun in the nightstand especially when i go to work and she is home alone.

Shes a small one, only 5'1 110 pounds. She looks hot when she is shooting a gun though

Amen!

You are falling prey to what I call the "Men's novel school of female design." You know--where the protagonist in the novel meets a hottie who is unattached, no kids, is smart, makes a great income doing something she loves and/or has inherited wealth, has martial arts skills, plays scratch golf, is an expert shot, has a voracious sexual appetite and repertoire, and is available.

Real life ain't like that.

Looking for a girl who likes guns is a tiny step away from "One-itis" which, as Trisha so accurately pointed out, is the death knell of a woman's interest.

for some detailed insight into the subject.

Chat up every woman that even remotely looks interesting. From a big enough sample, you'll be able to winnow it down to some compatible choices.

Ok i aint reading all the posts. but im from the San Fransico Bay Area. lol i know. So my girl freinds were kinda ignorant of the whole gun thing. So at the time I lived there i took them to the property in nevada with a couple .22's and just shot ????. I might have helped that we went to a Chirstian school. i dont know. Chirstians may not have a GI modle firearm, but the majority of us either have one, or know someone who has a closet full. lol personally i would worry more about your guns and less about the chicks. chicks cost more than the guns anyway. if you really wana find someone, go to every range in the county, and change ranges every week lol. later bro.

Wow I can't believe this thread is still up. It seemed pretty OT to me at the start, but I guess it has drifted into topic from time to time.

The point is simple: stop trying so hard!

Thanks but that doesn't really apply to my situation. I haven't been "trying" at all... My philosophy so far has been if I happen to meet a girl and one thing leads to another, fine, but I don't go LOOKING for girls. The only reason I'm thinking about it more now is because I'm getting into the late 20's and I don't want to stay single TOO long. So far I have pretty much put zero effort into "getting girls". I've been too busy doing things that I actually find enjoyable. Dating a girl I hit it off with is enjoyable, but putting a concerted effort into flirting and trying to "hook up" isn't. I just think maybe it's time to pull out all the stops and join the hunt like most guys do.

/rant on
I have just never been one to try and sell myself to anyone. If someone can't see me for the catch I am, it's their loss. I guess that philosophy doesn't always work when it comes to meeting girls. I just would rather let my abilities speak for themselves, rather than going around trying to convince every human who happens to be female that I'm a worthy mate Give me a break. What is this, the meat market?

okay, thorn? i'm going to give you a free pass, since you at least know at least one chick, but in the future, never NEVER NEVER take pics of a girl in your room playing with your gi joes!

Hellbore,

I'm not a guru on life or anything, but I can offer what I've come to know.

Women are genetically wired for safety. At least most of them. Most "anti-leaning" women I've known were usually folks who'd lucklly never witnessed real violence or had only propaganda exposure to firearms through education or media.

My wife for example. She (when we met) leaned anti. She only tolerated my firearms. Through time, I helped her see that guns are just tools. Unfortunately, through her work, she was exposed to the aftermath of a home invasion/murder about 10 years ago. She came home crying and told me to buy her a pistol and to teach her how to use it. She also wanted to apply for a carry permit. Thoughts of what she'd witnessed and thoughts of the security of her own home rewired her safety instincts that instant. Suddenly she saw a gun as a good method of protection. In our two decades together she's even bought me a gun once because she knows how much I like to shoot.

The thing for you to do is not neccesarily find a "gun chick". Find a good hearted "smart chick". Find "the one". Then if she is, she'll see you're not a kook. She might even find a fondness for target practice herself.
