Just wondering, which half is naked? My arms, face, etc? You can see more cleavage at a nursing home.
Wait... Dude, did someone steal that picture with Bear 46# and let it get passed around? (Cosmic if you are around, insert art here!)

Yeah but that was before I was a married man! Besides, you sorta brought it on if I remember right.
I digress.
To the topic, I have a couple of female climbing partners and the rules (set up by me) are that we always have the accountability of a third along...period. (not that I'm any "catch" mind you). I don't even want anything construed in that arena.

The older you get, the less complex it gets. It's not good or bad, it just is.

Rocking gal has a point there; but with Anastasia we’re not quite at that stage of the game.
Come on people.
Let’s stay on message here.
So we’ve beat around the bush plenty. (just a euphemism)
There’s been some constructive input, some silly input, and some flat out output.
Again, I suggest we, for our good friend Anastasia, embrace a solution based model:
Let’s strive to produce direct results for her.
So far, Ed Hartouni & Tarbuster have been the only ones to take this to heart.
To that end, what we need here is one guy from every major climbing area to extend an offer of partnership, like platonic ropemate style, to the nice young woman who’s brought up this terrific discussion.
In doing so maybe check a category:
 Totally recognize and admit up front the woman is hot as they come and there’s no way you can keep your lecherous hands off her; especially not at any belay and the likelihood that you might jump her while she’s merely racking up is nearly an absolute certainty.
Cop to the fact that, yes she’s totally hot, but no you won’t touch her or make any advances during any vertical adventures, yet any indulgence in fantasies during your own time after the ropes are coiled is your personal, private business.
You’re the guy with respect, restraint, and just want to show the fair lass a good time with no strings attached; you got your own life to live BTW.
Same as above, but no need for restraint, and freely admit the latter is a major flag that there just has gotta be something wrong with you.

Honestly, I am happy to climb with everyone. If it's a beautiful women, I have no illusion she is interested in me. I feel priveledged to share a rope with cool people of both sexes.
As Beatrice and Anastasia have stated, if they are interested, they will let you know. In the meantime, climb, have fun and don't get your hopes up.
This thread is sure a lively one. It must be the raging hormones in the community. hee hee

"So far, Ed Hartouni & Tarbuster have been the only ones to take this to heart. "
I don't think that's a fair statement. I took it to heart. And when I said the following, I was being serious.
I think that frequently, sexual, social complexity is something that a woman has created for herself, as much as it is "just the way that it is". Not saying this is the case here, but more often than not, I find that there are a lot of women who are "offended" by advances from the opposite sex, yet they egg them on, in reality. Usually, these same women "complain" about the "offenses" in order to gain even more attention. It's all really quite disgusting.
It's very similar to the number of women who go out in a skirt that barely covers their ass, so long as they don't bend over, and a blouse covering little more than their bra (if they're wearing one) and then complain about all of the men gawking at them...
I think there are two sides to this coin. That's all.

Not to exclude you Nefarious, or anyone who has entertained the conveyance of ideas.
I was speaking literally to the earlier point of making "the pitch", and letting her ferret out the trustworthy lads, you know as practice, or directly encouraging some useful invitations from areas in which she might be interested in climbing.

And keep in mind I'm still stunned with the reproaches from the cross-dressing fashion police.
(not that there’s anything wrong with it)

hahaha Cross dressing is scary.
I get what you're saying, Tarbuster. Sorry. I'd be happy to extend such an invite... If I actually had time to climb these days. Ugh!
I expected something different from you, Rob. Maybe a male llama in a bikini or something...

I have to chime in once more to call b.s. on all the oh so nice "I don't care if she's hot I just want to climb" guys.
I bet most of you are gentle graybeards who, if we traveled back to the time before you worried about your prostrate and your kid's college tuition, would be found leading a comely lass up Sunnyside Bench, hoping for swim in the pools.
For those that are not aged, look me and the eye and tell me what you would do if your haught partner looked at you and said, "hey man, I'm just not feeling it today- let's get some beer and go skinny dipping instead."
