This is so we can all chime in with "Not in my experience!" Ever feel like a chick magnet, all covered with dirt and chalk, ripe and wanted to go away on weekends?

Ha. I'm not that surprised. You guys are all hanging around with women who know to much about climbing and aren't impressed any more. Go to a fine midwestern city and tell the women you are a climber. Tell them about highly commiting climbs in the cold up in the mountains, man learning about himself through nature and all that...

see if they aren't impressed. of course it doesn't hurt to be in shape either.

i hear what you're saying cragman. It's true. I need to find myself a fine eastside girl, but that is a near mythical thing, at least for someone who doesn't climb at least 5.12.

This woman says - yes, climbers are sexy. Just not ALL of them.

 Type A types: not sexy
 Gumby with triple belay devices hanging from harness types: not sexy
 Show Off with non-climber new girlfriend, who doesn't teach them how to belay and then gets freaked out when they are a few feet above gear, whimper "TAAAAAKKKKKE" and then freak out on the woman when she gives him a blank stare: not sexy
 Loud-mouth in group of top-roper types: not sexy
 Drunken misogynist, blathering on as if women were inanimate objects: not sexy

and so on.


Luckily, there are plenty of:
 lean, fit types: sexy
 appreciative of nature, but not in a dweeby way, types: sexy
 intelligent, philosophical types: sexy
 haven't bathes in a while with musky scent(as opposed to stinky BO) types: sexy
 playful types: sexy

and so on....

Ron, I was exactly about to explore this point....

Is one person's "musk" another person's "yuckie go away!" ?
Or is there a clear universal line where musk turns to stank?

This is one of the ways I think my lady loves me, because she'll sleep with her head close to my armpit. But after a climbing trip, she'll make comments about it.

If ya have to ask.....




Well, I suppose beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and along with that, scentsation probably is dependent on the olfactic(now there's a decidedly un-sexy word).

stinky = unappealing

Of course, perhaps I will know my one true love by my lack of cringing away at his ripe scent. But so far, I prefer the US standard of lack of funkiness because of hygiene and application of inhibitory-musking product.

I have actually exchanged words of annoyance with my climbing partner about his aromatic personage, which can be scented just by standing next to him about 2 feet away.

My question is: can you smell yourself??? Do you like that smell???

Here's an example of a NOT so sexy climber....

Getting out of my truck in the Camp 4 parking lot and this grimy dirty climber comes sauntering up to me, sticks out his hand-I notice he had yet to wash off layers of black filth-and says to me. "Hi my name is, so and so and I've just climbed the nose..." he went on and on in his attempt to impress me, needless to say I was not impressed.

I love running my fingers through a guys hair that I can't get my fingers through.

Soooooo HOT!

Stinky climber dudes smell way better than a man covered in Axe, Brute, Old Spice, Obsession, Stinky Man Perfume. . .
