So, is this where we look for love or just complain that we can't find anyone like-minded? I'm having trouble finding anyone that believes me. I guess I look like the kind of girl that is into fashion shoes and designer handbags. I mean Sheesh! Can't I go out at night looking 'normal' then come home to some security? I feel like I'm asking for the world since I'm just looking for someone who understands me and is ready to prepare, but also looks normal enough to be seen in public, and at the same time can tolerate my completely non-survival hobbies like running, biking and playing the bass guitar, at the same time that is helping to be independent of a society that is about to crash, at the same time is caring for *his* own health, at the same time is not gun-crazy just for the sake of being gun-crazy, at the same time is not a leech, at the same time is... Ok, ok, maybe I am asking for the world. (but it was really nice to rant for a few minutes, thanks!)

Re: A survivalist girl's frustration
Mon, January 14, 2008 - 1:50 PMYou're not asking for the world. The heart wants what the heart wants. I am a man that probably meets almost all your criterium, I not only see your point of view I share a lot of it. I not only believe in security I am security. I am not a gun nut. Guns are tools, I know how to use at an expert level. In fact I currently do not own a firearm as they were all taken by my ex in the divorce. I can pass for civilized almost anywhere on Earth or as barbaric as I need to be in any given situation; BUT I hate big cities. I have lived in them and they are great places to visit but living there all the time was not for me. Having the sunrise and sunset blocked by buildings is not something I like.

Re: A survivalist girl's frustration
Fri, January 25, 2008 - 1:17 AMwell to be a survivalist u have to be fit and healthy so running and biking helps u do that,along with playing the bass guitar. also running, bikeing, hikeing helps to relieve the stress. Playing the bass guitar helps u get away from reality for a moment so that u can relax. myself i read fiction, and put myself in as the charectors. If you dont have time for entertainment, means that u havent spent your time effeciently, -

Re: A survivalist girl's frustration
Wed, March 26, 2008 - 7:35 AMMorning June - well I do understand exactly what you are saying here. Sometimes we look "too" hard for something we wish to have in our life only to come to the conclusion it cannot be found. When the time is right and when you least expect it - BAM - what you need is dropped in your lap. I find one of the main reasons I do not have another person in my life is the fact that many are scared of what I am (survivalist) or do not understand what it is about me and my beliefs. When you do not fit into the social norm and are not politically correct then others look at you as an outsider of the norm. So be it. I am an outsider of the norm and will not convert to the ways our society "thinks" what's best for me. You will one day meet someone who will be there for you, enjoy sharign and learning with you, understand what you believe in. -

Re: A survivalist girl's frustration
Thu, March 27, 2008 - 8:35 PMI hear that Timberwolf... try explaining to a "normal" girl about survivalism...and the need to be prepared..they think we are crazy, overreacting, paranoid etc etc... they are more worried about how they can get money to get thier nails painted than about possibly saving their life or their children's lives in the future. "oh that will never happen the mall is always going to be open...forever..." -

Fri, March 28, 2008 - 4:48 AMIt's the same for us Gals, try filling out the yahoo personals profile and listing raising goats and chickens as future plans or primitive skills as a hobby. Not to mention anarchist isn't even under political descriptions. I can't imagine why I didn't get more matches.LOL -

Sun, March 30, 2008 - 5:04 AMI say be as ambitious as you want when looking for somebody online.
Isn't that the great liberating aspect of the internet? That we do not have to exist as generalized archetypes and can truly express ourselves in all our complexity, simplicity and contradiction?
Fwiw, Libertarians tend to be survival-minded almost as a rule! And theres plenty of us populating the internet........

Re: A survivalist girl's frustration
Thu, February 26, 2009 - 4:24 PMWe're all with you! At least there seems to be lots of guys into "survivalism". The girl pool of people at least open to supporting themselves with a new vision of the earth and our responsibilities is very small! Either they drank to KOOL AID or are neo-con all the way. How do you describe Green Libertarian to someone and not get the blank stare? Or that you believe in non-violence but are not a pacifist? Or no, you own guns!!!! I might as well have stepped into the room and stomped an innocent kitten with the response you get. All I can say is we feel your pain and I'm glad that at least on tribe, we can have this kind of conversation.

Re: A survivalist girl's frustration
Fri, June 12, 2009 - 3:46 PMI too have many pastimes that are not survival related...number one I am a tattoo artist and piercer which ties to urban areas to work or trade...and I too play guitar which again needs a little electricity(not to mention an audience) I also kayak and ride my bike and do 'normal' person stuff...i really look more like a pirate or a freak than I do a survivalist(whatever that looks like) sux to be judged by whats showing on the outside.....Nik
