Can someone give me a chance in percent of finding a girl I am physically attracted to, is aware of peak oil, wants to bug out within the next year and is within two years or so of my age? (I just turned 19) I think it's hopeless to tell you the truth, I think I should just find a hippy who enjoys life in an ecovillage but I've yet to find one younger than 25.

Are there no peak oil girls out there younger than 25 who don't look like a snorlax?

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('DomusAlbion', 'O')K, so we could create a new forum.
PO Singles seeking like minded singles, or Ecovillage Oportunities.
This could be a helpful service to the community.
Anyone?

That's all well and fine, but what about a sub forum for married women who want to cheat on their husbands, with a "peak oiler"? It already sounds like a great opportunity for a massage. :lol:

If you find a 26 year old who will have you I think perhaps you should... jump at the opportunity... :)
In a bit of seriousness, lets think through this.
You seem to expect some really bad.. stuff to come down the line soon. It is hard to find a 19 year old girl who agrees. Fair enough and predictable. I would say it is time to develop a reputation as a "fine young man" amongst a group of people who are parents of 17-25 year old girls who are bugged out. Even if there are not any girls there now, there will be and they're going to be looking for a fine young man who is respected in the community and can... calm them when they are feeling scared.

Bug out and work as hard as your 19 year old body will work. Be polite. Hold the door open for everyone, but especially women who look like they might have started giving birth about 1988. The rest will take care of itself.
patience grasshopper, patience.

Well, I'll visit ecovillages in Scandinavia and Quebec in a couple months and see what they're like. Maybe there will be a girl there who sees things the same or similar or at least understands that we need to prepare. Petroleum supply is drying up, but the supply of blissful teen females appears to be plentiful. If I sound angry at girls, I would say the accusation is warranted. The only people I know who are peak oil aware are males. I know one girl who was informed by a teacher at my school and did take it seriously but only at a theoretical level, she is by no means prepared to live somewhere else and by no means am I physically attracted to her. Why is it that you can find all different cultures and a decent number of ethnicities on this board but you can't find a vibrant diversity of genders? You find people from New Zealand, people from Australia, people from England and Poland, Russia and Ukraine, Denmark and Finland...but you'll have a hell of a time finding a girl...or at least a girl below the age of 40. WHY. My conclusion: Don't go to Saudi Arabia and rob anybody cuz it looks like I'll be needing my right hand for quite some time into the future.

The other question would be what do you find physically attractive? And we would have to ask if that kind of girl is... um bred for hard work or not. Good luck hoss, again, don't loose any sleep over it. If things come down as fast as it seems you will be a hot commodity soon enough. Just get yourself ready and let the relationship thing work itself out in time.

Sounds like a plan...

But we should take the discussion away from myself...

Any girls moving to any ecovillages in the near future (1 to 2 years?)

Any peak oil guys looking for a girlfriend who is peak oil aware?

Good idea...I whole-heartedly support this initiative!

It's hard to get laid when you ask the babe (or hot boy) you just met to double up on your bicycle.

Peak oil is certainly not sexy.

Or when you tell them to leave their friends, family, education, hopes and dreams and move to an ecovillage to learn canning practices and how to grow a garden....for the sake of a thing you read on the internet....

Gah, even that website didn't work.

All I'm saying is, when it comes to peak oil and peak oil preparedness, girls definitely fail. Even on the facebook group "Peak Oil," even though it is made up almost entirely of young people under 25, the vast majority are males....

Hey dude I'm not complaining. If girls want to live in ignorant bliss and live out their numbered days in a consumer frenzy until they're forced to sell their bodies for broccoli and carrot sticks...that's fine by me. I'm just saying, it would be nice to find a girl who I find physically attractive who is also interested in peak oil and understands overshoot and the need to bug out. I'm just saying, I don't believe there is a single girl on this entire board that is within 2 years of my age and is currently searching for an ecovillage or bug-out shelter...never mind the physical part...I've tried to talk to girls about peak oil for a long time. I bring it up around all sorts of people, Opies can attest, I'm the preachiest son of a bitch you'll ever meet but none of them want to listen......aw well...can't say I didn't try....at least they look good in their new Luis Vuitton Satin Black Bra's on Sale at Sears...*It's all inside* Good job ladies!

Ummm... IQ less than 80 or more than 130? What do you have against average?

What happened to her? I ignored her in high school, she got a full ride scholarship and became a doctor and now is married and her husband is a stay at home dad.

AHEM !!! PEOPLE, PEOPLE, QUIET DOWN NOW, PLEASE. TAKE YOUR SEATS, PLEASE. Thank you all for enjoying this thread.

However, I was serious about the part below ... would like some suggestions. It appears uncertain that the situation with having adult kids live here is going to work out. So there may be serious need for us to find a few like-minded people to join us, per the info I have provided. A good opportunity for them to get started in learning the ways of the land, and to position themselves financially to buy their own piece of future -- or own part of this one.

Any thoughts on THIS PART of my original post?
Lumpy

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Lumpy', ' ')And of greatest interest to me are PO aware folks (like us) who have land with water, etc, but need more bodies who want to work it, and share in the fruits of the soil, and ownership of the place eventually, based on a charter agreement -- plus understand that working for $$ off-property while $$ can still be earned is important. (The more we pour into preps now, the better off we will be.)

Ideally, these would be PO aware people who are willing and able to work (both on the property and off, for as long as jobs last), but don't have the $$ to buy their own place to get started on, and don't want to wait around for the freight train that's coming to just squash them flat.

How could we go about matching up these sets of folks, do you think?

Doomerism and Peak Oil is primarily a male dominated forum. There are women here, not many though.

I think that you have to take the alpha male vantage point. An alpha male looks for someone to follow his lead, that's all. If, by chance, you stumble among a partner who is PO aware with whom you can have an equitable, equal relationship, you are fortunate indeed. However, in all probability, you are going to have to take the lead and make the decisions. At least that's been my experience. My advice is simply to find a woman who respects you and has faith in you and loves you. That's hard enough to find!
