I keep running into men who aren't interested in women who won't
go camping, hiking, &c.  Which is okay, because we'd be taking a
lot of separate vacations.  But frustrating.

I've met a lot of women who don't like camping (particularly the
variety who are of the opinion--like me--that no vacation counts
as a vacation if you have to wash just as many dishes, only
without hot running water) but can't say as I've ever met a man
who confessed to disliking it.

Maybe I should put that in a personal ad.
