@DavidLaDeau

Are you saying you just want to meet women for sex? Ugh.

I get to know men first.

@LiterateHiker No I would not bother at all. Im all in in my relationships. Sex is not a real issue in developing trust and understanding. Social distancing prevents the building of that trust in a dating situation.

@DavidLaDeau

Nonsense.

Building trust with your partner is essential while hiking. Hiking shows how people handle challenges, if they help you, and if they expect you to do all of the work.

Often men won't listen to a woman and do stupid, dangerous things in the mountains. Inexperienced men usually don't bring enough water or food. They forget sunscreen, insect repellant and/or a jacket.

Like children, they expect me to rescue them.

Definitely disagree with David. I think it’s a challenge to overcome — and then laugh about later if the relationship takes. You can learn a lot about a person in strange times like these.

@JohnnyQB

Exactly. Well said.

@Apunzelle Perhaps, you are right, I never have actually dated. It just seems to be overly complicated. I just like people or I don't. The rituals and cerimonies to me are much like religion, just a waste of time. This being said my girlfriend likes that stuff so I do do it.
