OT: How to meet girls who like guns?

[larryf1952]

Girls smell funny

...but in a nice way. Unless they're that 300 pound Wal-Mart boar with a mullet that I read about somewhere back there...GAWD, that was funny!

I was very fortunate. I never had to work to convince my sweet missus to "like" guns, or to "allow" me to have them as a hobby. She still has little desire to shoot, but her political beliefs, insofar as firearms are concerned, pretty much parallel my own. She thinks it's ludicrous to believe that guns are responsible for crime or the evil acts of others.

I guess I can't imagine what it might be like to have to try to change someone's opinion who's as dead set against them, as I might be for them. Frustrating, I'm sure. Somehow, in a twisted little way, though, I'd like to give it a try...

"I can tell you right now that dating a horse girl is EXPENSIVE! "

LOL,,,

Yea, sage advice, stay away from the expensive ones.

CZ, you're talking about the "Foo-Foo" riders. Stay away from the Foo-Foo riders unless they're rich and want to spend their money on YOU!



I lean toward the worker bee farm girls myself.



Hint: go for the ones in jeans...

What about Israeli girls? I know Israeli doesn't equal Jewish, but some of them are teh Hawtness!

I visited Israel for the first time last year, and found many Israeli women to be very attractive.

The thing that was most appealing about young Israeli women, if I can so stereotype, was that many were very warm and subtly flirtatious (in a very tasteful way -- not at all trashy as in a bad bar scene). Maybe it's the Mediterranean thing. Maybe it's the eclectic ethnic mix of the population. Aside from physical beauty, I found young women in Israel to be, in general, very approachable and curious. Yet many also displayed obvious signs of rugged self-reliance. All in all, a most appealing combination for someone of my tastes.

But since I am happily married, that is all I found out. I gave my full report to my wife upon return, and plan to re-visit with her (maybe she'll tell me about the men).

Oh, yeah, it was also fun to see a group of young female soldiers everywhere (almost all of them with M16's), chatting away like a bunch of little girls (because that's actually what they were, little girls with little girly paraphernalia like trading cards and cutsy things). What a scene -- the terror of the Middle East.

Free advice from a woman: one of the most common things that changes women's minds about guns is when something very, very bad happens either to them or to another woman they're close to. Such as: rape, home invasion, car-jacking, armed robbery, etc. It seems like the danger has to hit close to home to make it real to us. *shrug*. FWIW.

 

[Richard.Howe]

I recommend putting on a camo muscle shirt and a chest bandolier full of 50 BMG. Go down to your local wal Mart and hang out in the underwear section.

Please let me know if this works.

Hellbore,

As a man of some experience, I will give the benefit of my mistakes.

When confronted with the choice of firearms or a woman, take the firearms.





They don't get tired of you, they cost less in the long run, they give greater pleasure all things considered, they don't nag and they get better with age.

Bitter? Says who?

I have sort of noticed that... For example, married women with kids seem to be more interested in guns than single girls... They must be considering protecting their kids from danger. Also I know a couple girls who were raped and they are into guns and self-defense now. They are both married now though so they are off my list of possible girlfriends.

Looking for a girl who likes guns and looking for a girl who will let you shoot and buy guns are two different things. There's been some good advice about how to find shooters. I don't have much experience with that, but I will give you some tips on finding gun-friendly females, by which I mean females who will accept your hobby.

Look for:
1. girls with a good relationship with their father.
2. girls who actually want a man, rather than a "best friend."
3. girls who accept or enjoy other stereotypically masculine pursuits, such as football or baseball, or at least enjoy watching them.

Avoid:
1. girls who have never had a male presence in their lives.
2. girls who don't eat meat.
3. girls who watch television and movies constantly.

Good luck! My wife gave me a chronograph for Christmas, and her mother gave me a set of digital calipers to help in reloading, so I'm very lucky.

Real simple: Southern girls.

Failing that, get her hooked on you, then invite her shooting.

 

[runswithscissors]

Here's what I did

1) Go to the range often
2) Go to the gun shows often
3) Go to the gun shops often
4) Join a gun club

If those fail, try dating a cop

I met a chick whose was really into the MMM(Million Mom March) stuff. She was quite cute with a great personality. When she found out that I owned guns, she gave me her lecture about MMM and guns. She then told me that she would love to date me except she can't becuase of the whole firearm thing. I smiled and said, me too

 

[Malamute]

My Dad met a woman (who is now his girlfriend)that was an east coast liberal in the full sense of the word. She was new in the area and joined the social group of her realtor, and as they got to know each other, at least had some tolerance for sport shooting. To get to the point, she now has her own Smith 357, and a Beretta auto shotgun that she shoots clays with (pretty well too), and is eyeing a nice O-U shotgun, a Browning I think. She's also working bird dogs and entering field competitions.

In conversation with her last Christmas, she made a passing comment about "back when I was a liberal"....

Case In Point!

Talking to the woman I am now leasing 1/2 a horse from. TODAY 4/10/05:

Me, "I can't ride this Thursday because I have a pistol match to shoot."

Her, "You shoot? Thats so cool. I LOVE TO SHOOT! I learned to shoot with the rifle club in high school. I bought MY FIRST HANDGUN at 21. It was a 9 shot .22 caliber High Standard. Those are pretty good aren't they?"

Me, "Well then you should come to the range some time."

Her, "REALLY?!?! I would LOVE TO DO THAT!!"

I am all married off already and quite happy so it will all be very platonic.
But what a co-inkydink though, eh?

I don't want to say I told you so, but,,,



If anything were to convince me to leave my wife though, it WOULD be for one of those girls a few frames back.

Of course, at my age they might accidentally hurt me

 

[AZgunstudent]

Mine converted.

I posted this a couple of years ago:

"My own girlfriend came from Manhattan by way of Illinois, and carried a very deep liberal streak. She was absolutely mortified when she learned I was a gun owner, after we had been dating for three or four weeks.

"Many, many hard-fought philosophical battles later (along with many pints of beer at our favorite 'date bar'), I finally convinced her that guns were at least acceptable. Fast forward two years, and we're attending the NRA show together, where she proudly displays her membership card to get in the door. We shoot the Springfield Armory Action Pistol Challenge together. She bugs me to take her trap shooting every week. She recently got a carry permit (though she's not quite ready to carry), and bought herself a 9mm pistol. And she convinced the owner of her bookstore to have Wayne LaPierre for a signing -- I've got a great picture of them together."

Fast forward two more years. We're happily married and living in Arizona. She now packs a CZ75B and often a Kel-Tec P32 to boot -- more guns than I carry! She now bugs me to go shooting out in the desert, and frequents the local range's "ladies night" by herself. We've taken training together, and she takes the "tactical" stuff seriously. She attends the various women's shooting events in Arizona, too. She even helped me assemble a "bug out bag," and ensured it contained extra mags for the AR.

Conversion isn't the only option, though it worked for me. We taught one of my wife's friends -- a young lady who is well beyond "pretty" -- how to shoot pistols and the AR last year. Of course, all the young guys at the range made excuses to hover near our shooting bench while Jen shot. It was quite amusing, actually. Several of the wife's female colleagues have asked her to take them shooting, too -- and she works at a university!

Keep looking. It'll happen. But like many posters have stated, it often comes up not as "Hey, look at my cool Redhawk," but rather out of a common political/philosophical interest or a similar "sense of life."

Someone should set up a Highroad dating service.

My most recent ex went to the range with me once. She liked shooting the MkII, but after 1 round through an MP5 she freaked a little. Whatever. I shot the other 149 rounds through it - 3rd burst and FA

 

[xdoctor]

I've had really good luck with taking them to the range on a date. Not the first date, that would be creepy. Its usually after they've been to my house and seen the various reloading equipment scattered about. And the shotgun in the corner. And the collection of Guns and Ammo. And the pictures of me and dad on hunting trips on the mantle. And the framed target I have from my best shoot ever.

Usually I can talk them into a trip to the range. Start them off with a .22. For the love of god, start with a .22. Don't let them shoot anyting bigger than a .380 the first time out and they love it. I let one try my .44mag once. Once. Never saw her again.

 

[chopinbloc]

if you wanna meet pro-gun women go to abortion clinic.

okay, please don't hurt me, i know that was in horrible taste. there are plenty of good, pro-gun women out there, you just have to keep trying. AZ isn't bad for guns and attitudes, maybe you should move. i find most girls are intrigued by guns and if they have negative attitudes they usually aren't firmly entrenched - a rational explanation usually brings them around. rember, most people dislike guns out of ignorance and education is the key. as far as meeting good conservative girls at church read this dissertation: http://www.gunowners.org/sk0801.htm should give some good talking points for you to figure out where they're at. most christians tend to be strong believers in personal responsibility, so as long as you approach the issue in an even-handed way, you ought to find someone you can be equally yoked.
