If there are things that fill my life, there are too many options, and 'limiting' them to people who will enjoy sharing what I enjoy seems like it makes sense

hahahaa..oh YES read this all the time

especially living in a tourist state known for having a lot of rednecks who love their hunting, fishing...



I like to tell them I am not the female version of themselves

1. camping: did it for 20 years with the family so the only kind of camping I might be interested in is the kind with air conditioning where I am sleeping on a bed and there is room service

2. hunting: yes I have shot a gun and I am a redhead with a temper ...you sure you wanna take me in the woods?

3. fishing..uh maybe with fake bait but I am not ripping that worm apart and sticking it on that hook mister...cause ewwwwwwwwwwwy I am a girl

There are many things that others like and I can understand wanting someone to share what they like so they can do more things together. As far as a must then yes they do limit themselves. But got to look at it this way maybe they did try the other and found out they just had nothing in common..

Myself I have no problem with fishing and yes I bait my own hook.. Grew up going fishing..

Hunting sorry not my thing and yes I can shoot have a target practice poster on my wall in my office, hit the target 38 times out of 38 times.. So saying I can't shoot is the wrong.. I just have never had the desire to shoot a animal.. Now someone attacking me bring it on

Camping well after 30 something years of refusing to go without a motel I finally did again 3 years ago.. And must say I had a blast.. But I insisted it was where there was electric and running water with a bathroom and showers near bye.. Also had a air mattress to sleep on it was before it got hot here.. And yes went back 2 years ago and did it again... But not something I do once it is so hot you can't sleep at night... and without the options I requested..

As far as Camping I do prefer a camper with all the stuff from home I want then I have no problem with camping.. But will do the tent from time to time..

But you know even the fact with women that will not date a smoker, that will cut out a lot of guys. Myself as long as they respect that I don't and don't smoke in my house or car and don't blow it in my face I have no issues with those that smoke.. And I'm a ex smoker..

Heck I'm sure some of my preference knock out a lot of potential guys to date but it is what it is.. I feel that only we know what we are willing to deal with. Regardless if fishing is something they love that they go 3-4 times a week which I know some that do.. If the woman does not either like it or does not care how many times a week they go then it will become a problem in the long run...

I could never handle fishing as a kid.

Shoving a hook into a worm's face and then watching it still wriggling was enough to make me feel sick to my stomach. *=)*

And then I add insult to injury by drowning the poor thing, and then letting fish rip it to shreds...

*gag*

It's like a horror movie!!!!!

Guess some of us grew up different for fishing is not something that bothers me rather enjoy the peace and quiet and the catch~~~

Now hunting others can do it that is fine just not my cup of tea~~ But could do it as far as survival~~ Otherwise I will buy my meat packaged lmao...

I have went hunting, it is just not for me, I can't be quiet for that long...

Hey now nothing wrong with Horror Movies love them

My Dad, who passed in 2011, told me a story. He went hunting with some friends in the woods, to go after deer. Everyone seemed really gung-ho about it, drinking beers around a fire, sleeping under the stars, laughing, having a great time.

The next morning, they got an early start and Dad found a deer, an 8-point busk I think it was, about a half-mile from the camp area. He aimed, took his shot, and hit the deer. It didn't make a sound at first - until Dad and his friends got close to it.

It started to scream, looking wild-eyed up at them, bleeding from a wound near its neck, thrashing around on the cold ground. Dad said he couldn't get the sound out of his head.

Well, one of his buddies carefully shot the deer to put it out of its terrible misery and then they all wordlessly went back to camp and packed up.

They hardly said anything all the way home - and my Dad never touched a gun again.

True story. =(

So, they just left the deer there - that's criminal!

For many hunters, hunting is a means to bring food to your table. Harvesting wild animals by hunting is a means to do so.

Do you feel it is fair for vegetarians to eat animal crackers?

PS I use artificial lures and plugs to catch fish. It is tougher to fish that way.
