>>1169752one of my good buddy's told me a long time ago something that sounds simple but it's very true - "anything is better than nothing" so drop that douchey elitist attitude and understand that maybe not everybody is as hyper anal about hiking like you. this type of attitude will steer a lot of women away from you. they don't want to feel compelled to perform to a certain standard that you're holding them to.
the only exception here is if a woman has talked to you in detail about their experience level in terms of the great outdoors.
