shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit my man! There is a stack of brown sugar at the rocks just hangin' and chillin' and waitin' for a no dick brother like you... KNOTT!!!
Bigtime confused, Scaredy. Is there a logic course one of us can enroll in?
Back to original topic - I'm serious. Why don't women with a little darker complexion tend to climb? My ex was upset that I was always running off to the hills, but you'd never catch her dead climbing up a rock wall or trudging through snow to come with me. One camping trip in the snow was more than she could bear.
I married une Africaine. Guess what? She likes hiking and
sh!t just like a regular person. I totally ruined her for climbing
by being a jerk and pushing her too hard. She does jones for
a good hippo loin from time to time but a choice filet mignon
will usually placate her.
E, with all due respect, where is the slur? I'm being sincere. I saw the Cat Scratch Fever, and it reminded me I wanted to post up on this. Been with a fine mixed lady for many years up to a few months ago.
For some reason The Sisters love me..
I'm like a little blonde bitch to them...
Got to beat them off - not that i always do....yayayayaya
Can't say is I have ever known one who wanted to climb though
But I can't get enough of that strange baby!!!
Asian chicks on the other hand - they almost always love to climb
Maybe you got to hook up with some eastern love
E, you can take it however you'd like, Senor. I find those that are quick to jump to "EwwwwWW, you're being Rrrrracist!" are those with tendencies themselves.
The Fever can be taken many ways, one of which is attraction for another race - I'm attracted to darker women. They tend not to climb, and I'm wondering if anyone has thoughts/grievances on said topic. That's the point of this thread, if you'd like to be a Nancy and whine I'm sure there are other threads more your speed. If you'd like to contribute something worthwhile, stick around.
I'd agree there seems to be a shortage there. It's too bad since there are a lot of very athletic and able African American women who would make awesome climbers.
I do know one such woman, she is an exceptional climber and is indeed credited as being the first African American woman to climb El Cap. Sadly for you she has a man already. There was a photograph of her doing Separate Reality in Climbing one time.
Perhaps you could get the ball rolling. Take up some other sports which have a higher participation rate among this group, and recruit them for climbing. You could start a trend.
I'm with ya cuz, i used to kick it with this little nubian minx. she was athletic, ripped like a mofo and climbed occasionally. Probably only with me though. I sorta wished she was still around, but like most hot chicks, i got sick of her sh#t and had cut her loose.
I like this idea about trying to bring more women, or really, just more people of color to climbing. It's not a race thing, it's just a culture thing. Certain groups are brought up more often than not directed towards certain activities. That's all it is.
To be fair - luckily for us pasty folks, not many black men or women climb. There would be records broken left and right.
I don't know if I'm even allowed to post something up, seeing that I only have a few posts on ST. I guess I have to buy an account on EBAY with 1000 posts before I can, then, post myself?
White people love to be offended on other peoples behalf. It's quite fascinating, really.
Some like 'em thick, some like 'em short, some like 'em light, some like 'em dark... I realize the term is insensitive, but it seems like he means well. Sh#t, if nothing else the OP's predilection for a darker complexion might make the world a better place - if he finds women who prefer funky lookin' white dudes, and they hit it off, the world is a better place right?
Don't always see the worst - try to have fun. We all have skin and its all sorts of colors, shapes, etc... nothing wrong with a little celebration of that, and online its kind of harmless.
They're hanging out with all the black snowboarders... and hockey players.... and nascar drivers... and golfers (tiger woods is the whitest mofo around- he doesn't count)......
Oh, I'm saying sweet prayers they prefer funky looking white dudes. Every night.

Exxxxxactly, although that's easy for white people to say.
I believe, just after this was taken, I got an earful about not having enough posts on an online forum, or being too handsome for my own good, or starting too many threads with possibly offensive titles in hopes of fostering discussion. Nothing was ever good enough.
Don't badmouth the Chief's wife - I'm told she's a very nice lady and way out of his league.
Focus Vittles - this isn't some traderoute you're being dragged up here, this is serious business.
I know there are a lot of Asian ladies that climb, but they aren't my thing. I'd liken this "light-climbin" to the high percentage of black folks that don't really swim. From what I've gathered, it's not seen as an important thing to learn as a youth, so many don't. It's a culture thing, not a color thing. My ex grew up almost completely surrounded by Whitey. Thus, she's a great swimmer - learned as a tiny girl.
I think I'm going to make it my new mission to spread the love, but I'll start them off right. No sport climbing.
Yes. I did. Your ability to read and comprehend is unmatched.
Just a quick question, how big can you make your mouth?
I may have a job for you.
A bushel and a peck, which I've recently learned is somewhere between 40 and ~46 quarts, depending on how tightly packed the dry material is that we're measuring.
I've seen a few black women climbers, but the sport is seriously whitewashed as charged. Black is beautiful for sure, and I wish I really did have the cure for the fever (don't tell my white wife!). Hahaha... I thought my wife was more exotic in heritage, like that Seinfeld episode where two white people date each other thinking the other is something else(how dated is that Seinfeld reference, right?). Turns out my wife's just Irish and Ukrainian. Sigh. Hearty folk, not averse to surviving off table scraps, but hardly exotic.
Certainly there are more Asian climbers and when I lived in Phoenix, there was a large Hispanic population of climbers. I hope the sport gets more diverse in every way. It used to be just a gentleman's sport and now they let white trash progeny like me play with ropes too. Certainly, even those non-funky white women look pretty good in tight pants, their pale complexion aside.
Whys this a weak post mungeclimber? Take your white guilt back to whole foods. It dont matter what color she is as long as shes hot and morally suspect
I don't think climbing has any kind of disposition to race or ethnicity when it comes to performance, one of the best climbers in the world is a 11 year old girl...
It helps to be light weight, but climbing is about adapting your body to the rock - so long as you have decent genetics, are physically gifted and are motivated as all hell to train hard you can be world class.

I agree - I'd make the claim that, as a race, white folks are less genetically gifted. From a strictly physiological standpoint, we're at a disadvantage. However, there's a lot more to success in sports than that, but it really helps.
As far as attraction goes, the majority of white or asian ladies may be great people, but it's a yawn-patrol for me. Black women are just nicer to look at, and I'm drawn to the realness I tend to find in this particular segment of our population. To each his own, I guess - except you're wrong and I'm right.
To the point about craziness...ALL women are crazy to some degree, just as all men are pigs to some degree. We all have our internal struggle for sure.
from what I am reading here, sounds like you'd have better luck with Yellow Fever...the kids would be stunning! It's ok...yellow fever won't kill you... ;) just make you sweat soy sauce!
but still, so weird to see on the internet that my very brown self doesn't really qualify as part of the 'women with a little darker complexion' crowd.
Damn I've been having fun being Token...my friends were counting on me being Token too (they like having PC pics...:P) Aw MAN, now NO ONE will want to climb with me!
hahaha, you'll find a way dude, just keep polishing that game... ;)
OK, you honky losers jonesing for a life - as the only dood here with street
cred in Accra, Yaounde, Kinshasa, Goma, and Jo'berg I'm gonna tell you what
it is. Firstly, since brain damage from blunt force trauma and solar radiation
is so rampant here, most of you seem to have forgotten the teachings of The Werner:
Climbing rocks is stoopid and will get you killed, period.
When you grow up in the jungle, or the hood, you already know lots of ways
to get killed. You don't need or want any more. Life is about survival
and bettering yourself. As a corollary to that even if you don't get killed
straight away rock climbing is painful, involves long boring walks, lots of
boring sitting around with boring white doods (mostly), it is either freezing
cold or deathly hot, and it is boring. Oh, and in no way is it going to
better you unless you place unwarranted value on sitting around spewing about
your past boring exploits on the internet.
Secondly, after the climbing is done for the day and the boring white doods
finally get around to dancing, well, let's just say it isn't a pretty sight:
My black friends here on the eastside think climbing is stupid and WILL NOT go with,even with the offer of beers and collie while we climb.I'm thinkin' it might be superior brain genetics ;-).Funny thing is that they're really into snowmobiling and snowboarding.Common refrain from one friend when the climbing topic comes up,"white people are crazy".
from what I am reading here, sounds like you'd have better luck with Yellow Fever...the kids would be stunning! It's ok...yellow fever won't kill you... ;) just make you sweat soy sauce!
Well.....guys usually go for what is challenging. Why go for something when you have 'better luck' with it? Every other white guy has an Asian girlfriend! Go for the challenge!
If Burchey picks up a black climber chick in near future he deserves the 2013 Piolet D'Or in my book!
truth, but if he's gonna go for the more difficult challenge...
then it looks to me like he's got to up his game... ;)
when the 'hard to find, hard to get' is your only goal, your game's gotta be up to the task, and results are the true measure, regardless of the hardships...
Just whipped up the freshest glass of Lulz-juice you've ever seen...nothing finer than a bunch of climbers advising you that you need to "step up your game". Worry not about my game, young ones. Worry more about the giant lack of diversity in the climbing community.
Trust - if there's a strong sista climbing in the near vicinity, imma win that heart.

Ok, I get it. Blame yourself. As long as you are friends with the same people that post photos of their new Lynx crampons on their facebook you will not get anywhere.
How about move to Compton and open up the first climbing gym there? Sistas will come.
grow it! Can't find a full developed rope/life/adventure/bed partner of your specifications? Plant a seed, culivate, and...reap the rewards. All part of the game to get what you want, right Mr. 'i got game'?

I see this all the time.
I think it kinda depends...
on just how much you are willing to invest, no?
cheers
Excellent advice. Trouble is, I've got about 0 interest ( margin of error +/- lol) in chasing tail/love/etc. This whole thing was actually a well-crafted ruse to get Vitaliy to confess that he thinks I'm good looking.
I WIN.
Btw, V - tomorrow won't work. In fact, I'm already hiding in your bushes right now. Come out.
For those of you who have settled down with someone from another race:
What drew you to this person, or more specifically - how much do you think the fact that they come from a different place plays a role in your attraction for them?
Beyond that, do they climb with you or stay home? Up to this point, I've always liked the ability to get away from her for a bit, hammer the mountain, and then come home to a soft woman and a warm bed. I liked the barrier between the two. If she tagged along on every trip, I'd imagine we wouldn't have lasted anywhere near as long as we did. That's just me.
Watched a buff African American fellow with 2 blonde slam pigs have a grand old time at the discovery wall in Pinnacles.
Brand new rack, shoes, and harness. Proceeded to climb all of the gear routes up through Jorgies crack in difficulty. Onsight, no guidebook, towing his piggies up and down.

yeah, this thread's a giant step toward solving that problem. every talented af-am from oakland to sb is gonna read this and say, cool-- climbing isnt all peckerwood junction. it's now all about white hipster post-racial wannabes dialing up the mandingo on the dvd.
on the upside, maybe u or vitaly can slather on the black face and then it'll be all "pleazhur-me-u-black-wench."
seriously-- what possible good out come could this thread have?

You answered your own question - this gem right here makes it all worth it:

I really want to dial up Mandingo on the DVD. That's got to be the greatest sentence ever written.
I seriously can't stop laughing at peckerwood junction either. In addition, the fact that your frame is just the bay area is telling, but funny stuff nonetheless.
Why do we need diversity? Im tired of staring at flat asses in the harnesses. That's pretty much what it boils down to. I'd like to enjoy a beautiful activity in a beautiful setting surrounded by beautiful women. I know.... I'm the worst, yeah?
Of the four women that have proposed to me two were white, one was (very) black, and one was half Danish half Indian.
As pointed out before, they are all pink in the middle. Superficial features count for little, content of character is everything.
I have read The Vanishing American Jew by Dershowitz and agree with much of what he says, but I have to look at the bigger picture.
In a crowded world where everyone breaths the same air and drink the same water we absolutely MUST get past the polarizing effects of the us/them mentality.
Perhaps I feel so strongly because if you actually look up the GPS co-ordinates of Peckerwood Junction it gives you the intersection a block and a half from my house in LaVerkin, Utah where the sweep-it-under-the-carpet people keep blocking out the swastikas that get painted at night.
So I see the hybridization of the human race as both inevitable andnecessary for us in order to allow racism to become moribund.
Currently I am seeing a Chinese woman since, at my age, it is nice to be with somebody where a half hour later you feel like going again.

I tend to agree here, but I'm curious as to the rate of this - I feel that more developed countries will see a more blended society sooner than the less developed, where education tends to be more sparse, and backwards thoughts of "keeping your race pure" tend to flourish.
I'm no expert, though - we have any anthropologists in the house?
Let us know!
