My experience on various gun forums has led me to understand that men on gun forums are slightly better than the average run of men.

But my experience with women on gun forums has led me to believe that the women who inhabit these hallowed halls are among the absolute finest women to walk the planet.  It's hard to imagine, for example, women of higher virtue than Psyops, Playmore, or Jane.  These are not the type of women commonly encountered in day-to-day life; rather, they are the kind of women I WISH were encountered in day to day life.  

The kind of women who give the lie to stereotypes about women.

Admittedly, I've been drinking, but I still think that this is true.

Please discuss.

need pics to determine....

I think you're trolling for punani in GD, which probably won't end well.
I also think (having spent time with a couple of the ladies from here) that some a significantly better than others.  There are some that are the typical lying manipulative bitches that you encounter in every day life and some are amazing people.





It's just a lot easier to hide the lying, manipulative bitchiness via the interwebs.

 

Some are, some arn't.


Some are trolls some are not.


It's no different than IRL, except that some may find a higher attraction to them because they are on a gun board.

YMMV

Most of the time they're really just lonely, fat, hairy 45 year old men. However...once in a while, they're 15 year old boys who think it's funny.

I hope to meet a woman like PlainJane one day, and then fool her into going out with me.

I'm inclined to believe this

I can prove, without a doubt that at least two of them on this board are in fact female.



 

You know the rules: Nude pics or ban.

great dude, now every leg humper within 50 forums are going to come running to this site

Sorry, I gotta go home and crawl into bed next to one of them and when she wakes up and finds this thread I'd be dead meat.  The other it's just better to let sleeping dogs lie.





 

Chloroform is your friend.

Yes to this. Ladies if you are reading this could you post some pics?

my gf is a team member here and an avid gun enthusiast and I think she's pretty special, so yes I concur.

You'd have a far better chance of making that happen if you learned how to spell her name.  


Jane

Yes........even without pictures!

Thank you gentlemen.

But I'll let you in on a little secret:

We are not the women who "catch your eye".  So you have probably rubbed elbows with countless high quality females, but some internal hormonal switch did not go off to get your male attention.  We do not have the "aura of drama", "pizzazz" or "glamour" with guys are typically drawn to like a moth to a flame.

Guys instinctively open doors for us, which we greatly appreciate.  They may be impressed when we heft around the ten foot 2"x8"s at the hardware store.  Words like "classy" or "athletic" probably go through your mind... but I guarantee you, your "guy" brain cells get hijacked the split second something a few years younger in skimpier clothes comes into view.

Picture in your mind:  You're in a hardware store.  Some competent, well-put together woman in practical attire comes up and asks you "Pardon me, do you know which aisle has the plumbing supplies?"  She meets your eyes, and is plainly interested in nothing more than aquiring a toilet seat.  In short, she comes across as practical.

Trust me, a "practical" woman does not pique your interest.  Even in the back your mind, you could be thinking "She is smart and hardworking.  Clean, healthy, fit, vigourous and beautiful", BUT the glands do not secrete Hormones of Interest.

And you'll grunt and point somewhere down yonder in her direction to hurry up and get rid of her,  just the split second that some muffin-top, slobby fat 20-something year old with her tramp stamp exposed, pushing a stroller, with a black eye, fake fingernails, and an exposed bra strap digging into gawd-knows-what coming out from under her tank top.

It's okay.  It really is.  Do not blame yourselves for overlooking us.  We're not sending "those" signals.  Y'all can't help it.

We get our plumbing supplies and come home.  You get endless drama.  And so the world turns.

ETA There is good news, however.  Both genders do have the opportunity at least, to become a lot more realistic and practical however once we get into our 40s and 50s.  The hormonal urgency abates, and common sense can and does often prevail.  Interaction between the genders gets a whole lot more sensible, and gals like us really, really start to shine.

Pics or GTFO

Practical and sturdy are two qualities that turn my nipples turgid.



 

There is a whole damn-blasted internet out there full of the most rank, wretched, ambidextrous and inverted pornography out there only three or four clicks away, and yet you presume to demand the handful of arfcom women who come here to debate and discuss, to post pictures of ourselves for your amusement?

There is no shortage of pictures of women in all various configuration available to you.

We are women, not pictures.  Women who uphold our traditonal values, and do not pander to such ill-phrased and poorly concieved 'demands'.

Would you want your wife, daughter, or mother to do so, upon the demand of a rude stranger?  If so, I deplore your standards.

Simply put:  My husband has asked me not to post pics.  Thus, no pics.

I have spoken by phone with several long-time, respected arfcommers.  I am who and what I say I am.

Me too!!

Do you want to see my picture?..................I'm just sayin'.  

(Better not, it would probably crack your monitor screen..........I ain't very good looking.)

So totally agree but don't mistake that for a boring sexless relationship. I'm 38 and don't have a problem getting laid if I want but if my heart and mind aren't in it, then I don't want it. I broke that down the other night to this fine 33 year old and we shall see what happens. 2 hours of in your face no holds barred talking about relationship dynamics with plenty of hand gestures and touching is a good start though. I have to have so much more these days and there's nothing wrong with that. It just means I only desire to be in a relationship that offers me (and her) so much more than just sex.

No thank you, although I appreciate the offer.  I feel it would not be appropriate, considering our respective situations.

Whenever I converse with you, I picture in my mind a patriotic man, loyal and strong, as evidenced by your avatar, and what more could a guy reasonably ask for but that a woman picture him as such in her mind?

"Good looking" does not have to be 'movie star handsome'.  For a man, it can mean "rugged", "individualistic", and "seasoned", and that is how I picture most of you guys.

This is nearing the 'rarified air' of cordial, gracious 'proper distance' of interaction between genders when there is 'appreciation for' physical attributes, but no improper overtures –– except those by youngsters who get slapped down, so the adults can continue to enjoy one another's company.

Well thank you psyops.  Same to you also!

Picture in your mind: You're in a hardware store. Some competent, well-put together woman in practical attire comes up and asks you "Pardon me, do you know which aisle has the plumbing supplies?"

thats my kind of lady. while my spouse is no Mrs America, i know she can do almost anything home repair wise. If not i deal with it. Whether it's hauling 6foot trees i just cut down or making a killer meal (taught her how to cook) she can and will have my back in a SHTF situation.
IF (key word) something were to go south in the relationship my next partner would be of the same timber.

of course we don't believe in lawyers.  in the event of a divorce it would be pistols @ 20 paces, which is why i removed the firing pin from her G26
she's shitty at math and might turn before it got to 20!

My wife is practical.  My wife is sturdy.  And in certain situations she even dresses like a slutty 20 year-old.  




 

how do I participate in this research?

Not at all.

Just like guys into guns, alot of the women are gun boards are just bitches.

Hey, my wife and I have the same agreement!

Crap, first double tap.  Just like Zombieland!

+1   People are people.

Not to be contentious, but another option is the "I'm not trying to be sexy; I just can't help it" look.  It goes well with an "under-promise and over-deliver" approach to life also.

Jane

Yes.

Psyops is one of my favorite all time posters.

"And you'll grunt and point somewhere down yonder in her direction to hurry up and get rid of her, just the split second that some muffin-top, slobby fat 20-something year old with her tramp stamp exposed, pushing a stroller, with a black eye, fake fingernails, and an exposed bra strap digging into gawd-knows-what coming out from under her tank top."



100-proof truthfulness distilled for your reading pleasure down to one sentence. Thanks, Psyops. I hope you enjoyed sharing that as much as I enjoyed reading it.

I think your speculation is grounded in nothing.  You cannot "know" a person via the Internet.  Someone's presence here proves nothing.

no

Idk what you guys are talkin about not noticing this kind of women, I notice them all the time in places like Home Depot, Target, and many other stores, I always assume they're married, so it's not a big deal (I'm also in my mid-20's, so they're probably looking for someone more "mature" )

I'm not sure what you mean by "sturdy" though.... Sturdy is not a word i'd use to describe an attractive woman...unless you merely mean in shape and not anorexic...

Great post.

And the reality is, your description is exactly the type of woman that attracts me.

My grandpa used to tell me, "you always go after the corn-fed women."

Guess I'm just a sucker for blue jeans, t-shirt, no make-up, and a healthy dose of common sense.

Just seems like the women my age (over 50) aren't like that, and/or are looking for a white-collar guy.

ETA:

And sometime in the next year, I'll become a poor starving college student.  So there's another ding.

Further, you don't really know someone until you live with them for a time.  Unfortunately.

 

Yeah, but I'll say that there are people on this Board that I have absolutely no desire to meet.

That's based on some of their posts.

YES, and the women that cook, eat, make bacon.  and sammiches

I have a few on my ignore list.

 

We love you too!

Sometimes I gotta wonder about the feasibility of a Christian, pro-gun, pro-life, Conservative dating Board.

Cleared mine out.

I've always like the self-identification facet of this place, and realized I had eliminated it.

Nice to know it's there, though.

I am a manipulative,shallow,money seeking devious bitch. so there.

i know you're only being funny but its comments like these that keep most of us from posting these oft requested pics...
