Ladies, I'm sorry

I broke a rib and hurt my feet too. All of my friends are "hardcore" hikers, the best scenery is hard to get to, and that's where the solitude is. I don't want to hold them back, but rivers and trees are the best medicine.

I joined Meetup for hiking, not having luck there. In a moment of desperation, I put an ad on Craigslist to find people who do short and easy hikes. Here's the response I got:

Let’s just get naked together at your place tomorrow I’m 39 guy

Is this what women deal with every day? I feel like I need to apologize on behalf of my gender.

    No "Hey baby, I can treat you like a queen?"

    maybe that's only for "official" dating sites....

    but yeah, alot of guy spam to wade through when your a female who ventures onto the WWW - hence why alot of females don't put their face as their avatar

    I once turned up to a meetup hike and it was just me and one other guy. Not awkward at all

    Why do you think I hide behind cat avatars all the time? Much easier. Doesn't deter it 100% though.

    I’ll bet it doesn’t. I can’t even mention that I own a cat without a sexual innuendo being thrown my way 🙄

    The real fun starts when you decline and they start threatening to murder you

    Or when they kidnap you.


    Oh wait that wasn't real... nvmd.

    I haven’t had to deal with any creepy messages since they changed the pm rules here. So sadly, my days are now less amusing. Being a short, fat, tired old lady I don’t get creeped at irl. I’m not sure if that’s good or bad.

    Don’t apologize on our behalf, we are all individuals and that guy represents himself. Speak for yourself
    I am sure these ladies know how to deal with someone like that, one or two might even be interested in that guy( best not to judge)
    and I have received far more explicit then that on social media from ladies (and a few guys) and I think one even almost offended me
    You should see and hear some of the things that go on at a truck stop

    Stay away from anyone named Sea Bass😬😉

    No matter how amazing he is on the ice😋

    To be fair... if you don't ask, the answer is always "no.".

    That’s tame. Imagine getting unsolicited D pics.
