A survivalist girl's frustration

topic posted Mon, January 14, 2008 - 1:00 PM by  June
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!)

    You'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.

    well 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,

    someday you will find what you are looking for. be patient and it will find you. I have been looking for like minded individuals and have just taken my first step in a long line of steps to communicate with other like myself. if you would like to write me, ok. if not, ok. that's how it has to be. maybe you can offer me something that I don't know and I can offer something for you. I tried to reply to this message before. don't know if it got through. thanyou for your time.

        Morning 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.

          I 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..."

            It'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

              I 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........
