New female fencers.

I have noticed that in every beginning fencing class at every club I have fenced at there are women who sign up just to meet men. They probably think that there will be a lot of rich classy men at the classes. They aren't serious about fencing at all, they just want to socialize. Some women even switch or alternate which classes they go to for more variety.

The word's out that this large, sexy, black, vietnam vet is now fencing, and you know women can't get enough of guys who are sexist, racist, and demean everyone around them...

So it's only natural that all these women are flocking to RL's club just look for a date.

We sometimes have guys sign up for our university club's beginner's class just because I jokingly advertise that you'll get to meet 'hot fencing chicks' when talking to them at activity marts and such. They're usually quickly rejected by the female beginners and leave.

If I advertised 'hot fencing dudes/studs' to the women I talk to at the activity marts, I think my girlfriend would kill me.

That's because it is a big fat lie, Katman. You know dang well that our club is full of D&D dorks who are "blinded by the flick."

I said beginner's class, not the club. Also, I don't agree with you and won't discuss it here.

Crud... I'm biting.

ok, I never met any girls in beginners classes who wanted to meet classy/rich guys. All the guys in my beginners class were either a) way too young or b) complete cocky, jerks who were extremely immature. I'm the only one from my class who stayed with the sport. And when I taught a beginners class, the women were just there to try out the sport, they weren't guy hunting. I started the sport because it looked fun, and I'm a female fencer. RL, I think that you just are surrounded by the wrong types of women yet again.

Nah, I might be out of the age range you're aiming your comment at. I started around 16 and I was the youngest, next to my brother who was 14. We just went b/c it was cool. Not to sound snobby but the girls in my fencing class are not that attractive and pretty dorky. Also, pretty slim pickins in the guy department. Our instructor is really cool though and it is fun to socialise. The only problem is that since there are so few fencers, we have people of all levels and cliques start to form but no one's really mean about it.

Well most of the women who take the beginning classes in order to meet guys aren't that great looking. Why else would they need to look for guys this way? The good looking ones are usually too young or they actually want to learn how to fence. These women are serious and they don't want to go out to dinner or even have casual sex.

I think RL is older... but mentally, I think they're down at around 7 year olds.

Perhaps, but I don't remember the last time that I heard seven-year-olds talking about casual sex... But I do agree that age-wise RL is older. Lately, though, DFP has been acting a lot better. *warning... this is just my view...*

Hey! No negative threads! You should not bring DFP Hadouken down to that level by including him in that comparison.

Hey, I like DFP for the most part. That's why I said that he's been acting better than RL. I haven't noticed anything terrible going on his part. (except for one thread a while back) I'm being negative about RL.

Yeah I taught soccer a while ago (maybe 2 years), and they were spouting out swears and talking about sex WAY too much for 8 year olds... I quit and went to fencing instead
