    You won't find our kind of Man in a Bar, or a Disco... You might find one, at a Church, near a .MIL Base though.... If I was looking for a young Hard Rock Dude, I would be looking in a church, down San Diego way, or over at Virginia Beach, VA... and be looking where the UDT Training Bases are.... Lots of young Kids, are going to be graduating there, and a church going single one, would be a Prime Catch... maybe.... I know an Old Salty SEAL, NOW, that got caught, in just that sort of way.... He used to be on here, before the Boss made them ALL drop their Social Media Internet connections.... if they wanted to stay active... Just thinking out loud.... but you have to be prepared to live alone, during deployments, for ten years or so... as they didn't go thru all that Grief, just to drop out, for the first Fancy Skirt, to come along....

    Sometimes I think about adopting polygamy so I can make my apparently rare appreciation of "nutty", smart, independent and capable blondes, brunettes and redheads available to all! Then my wife, seeing the faraway gleam in my eye, says "don't even think about it, pal".

    I think it has to do with one's location also. You obviously don't find too many preppers in the big cities. Around here, it's as common as dirt. Another thought could be how you explain your 'desire to be prepared.' The word 'Prepper' has taken on a meaning of survivalist/separatist/gun fanatic/supremacist/etc even though it has started to change as more and more people are hit in the face by the plain fact that the government cannot and will not take care of you so if you want to live and you want your family to live then you need to show some prudence and prepare. No one around here calls themselves a prepper but a large majority are prepared for Hell or high water...that includes the single males and females also.

    Iffin' she's looking for a like minded feller, I'd suggest a dab of Hoppe's #9 behind each ear.

    Honestly, the best way to find a partner of either sex is by doing the things you like to do. Eventually you will blip on the radar of the right one. It helps to avoid challenges - we all have friends who are a bit miserable because they can no longer do many of the things they liked to do before they got ina relationship.

    Had a young friend that just got married and start his dream job this summer. He found his prepper mate and if your patient and take your time to find out if they are as dedicated as you are, you will have the partner that will complement you.. Take your time!
