Who you do a climb with and the experience that you share is just as enriching as the climb itself....
Agree. But life is short and I've got lots to do.
Not going to wait around for the "ideal partner". If they come along, great! If not, at least I will have completed a bunch of crap.
Eh, some would argue I am the as#@&%e. But around the worthy dudes, I turn into a cuddly little animal :)

Climbing with people i do not feel a good karmic connection with just feels like work to me...
BINGO!
This part is key, as well;
Who you do a climb with and the experience that you share is just as enriching as the climb itself....
Soloing = freedom. Climbing significant climbs as a team = bonding and lifelong memories
Most climbing is about the interaction between the partners. A good partner, that you trust can open your eyes to interests you had never considered before. Especially when you find yourself seeing things through their eyes.
But when you find a partner that already shares a passion you have long held and you open each others eyes about it in new ways. That is what it's all about!

All men have the ability to look past personality (and personality disorders) at a womans body and immediately turn off their brains and be turned on and hot to trot. Thank the lord it's this way or humans might disappear. So when PTC posted mostly naked pics of herself, he's already trolled in most of us right there. Of course, a couple women took offense as they know how true this is......LOL
Regarding this : "The goods news is that some guys actually get turned on by narcisistic self-absorbed women."

Narcissistic personality disoder is being thrown out of the DSM-5 so we can all just stop using it because it is no longer a diagnosis!

eh, I'll take any willing capable tough as a cockroach partner because the outdoor objective is oftentimes more mind-blowing than the human interaction. When you are pushing 20+ hour days, there is hardly any room for interaction and fluffy stuff anyways. And then on my down time, I'll just go have some hot sex with "worthy male acquaintance" on the side if the outdoor partner doesn't happen to be a "worthy male" haha
(usually what happens is that worthy male acquaintances tend to be not ideal outdoor partners, and non-worthy males tend to be either ideal outdoor partners but because of their non-worthy male status, turn into not ideal outdoor partners because of they turn so annoying and whiny) Caught in a conundrum!

So why the booby shot? Have some respect for your parents and yourself and take it down.
I can't do that, the pic poses many existential questions. You raised one yourself just now "why the booby shot?".
Why, indeed.

I could not disagree more.
I could see how someone could think that about a short term objective, ie f*#king... but applied to travel, approach, decision-making, objective attainment, no f*#king way thank you...

My stuffed dog toys last about twenty five seconds around here.
Two labs, hungry for the taste of the squeaker that lies inside.
Once the squeaker is found all interest in the de-stuffing ceases, until I take the squeaker away. Then it's on again.
Fluffy carnage, I tell you.

Outdoor objectives are so much more rewarding with a great partner to experience and share with.
I had partners I still climb with to this day by the time I was 15 years old.
Possibly because I put the shared experience and their personal life safety above the objective.
The fact that you're a 24 yr old who can do 40 mile hikes who is surfing the forum for partners with her body may speak volumes about the quality of partner you are.

How unique, a twenty-four year old dispensing existentialism like pez.
How unique, an older dude getting all critical, disgruntled, and frustrated in response to seeing some hot revealing pics of a young girl.

I don't judge people, I'll climb with anyone. You seem to judge people quite a bit. Speaks volumes about the quality of person you are.

I am going to beg to differ on this one.
One of the things I have developed with maturity is very good radar for personality disorders. Now, there might be certain disorders which actually interest me, but for the most part I am turned off by crazy women.
Now my friends would probably say that this maturity of which I speak came late, and my radar was developed through hard experience. All true.

Hey, PTC.
I've been half-assedly following this thread cause its kind of funny.
I'm not old, early thirties, but I agree with Survival.
I too, still climb with people I tied in with when I was fourteen.
Maybe a paradigm shift in how you portray yourself and treat your partners is in order.
Lasting partnerships in climbing is a great thing, and I hope you find that.
Here's wishing you all the best in your future endeavors.
